They'll intro the consortium directors, key teachers, the curriculum, assessment mode & CCAs. Last yr there was a tea reception for the individual consortium before the symposium. Some parents take this opportunity to speak to their child's form teacher. If you miss the symposium, no worries cos' the symposium presentation slides will be uploaded on the HCI website.

My ds in Ortus. The teacher says the requirement is A* for chinese and above 260 to offer the LEP.

Which class is your DS? Did he take up any 3rd Lang? Just wondering if those took up 3rd Lang will not have time for LEP.
Mine also hv A* and abv 260.
Or a distinction in hcl is also a criteria? Mine only Merit.

Mine also Merit. My ds take up a third language too. That's why I am wondering shld he take up the LEP. He is also going for sports CCA so if the sports CCA take up 3 times a week, a day for 3rd lang, then he won't have time for other things like project etc.

Sori for any :? caused. Just received SMS from ds that he has been offered LEP.
I m not sure if it will clash with any other activity? As well as your concerns abt drop out mid way & exam. however I understand such prog will further help in CL learning.

Any idea if RS is on for whole yr or only for 1 semester?[/quote]May I know what is RS.

[quote=\"ptnttsg\"]Anyboby knows about the LEP (Language Elective Programme). Are we able to opt out if we cant cope with it. My ds is in sec 1, his teacher asks if he is keen to join the programme.

Is the mark counted in the exam as 1 subject? If I am not wrong it is studying Chinese literature in Chinese ?

My ds says that there will be exam but i am not sure if it is counted as a subject. May I know sec 1 how many subjects are there and will these extra programmes affect the overall grades.[/quote]Hello, I am a new member to this forum. My ds is in year 1 this year. According to him, we can opt out anytime but need to inform the teacher. I guess we have to provide some valid reason as well. My ds told me he has put his name in for it. sigh...... can make his own decision liao, dun need parent consent anymore......
