Emelyn:

DS said the trial dates calendar not correct one. He mentioned that he sent an email to someone (dunno teacher or senior), and was asked whether he plays any racquet game. After that, he was asked to go for the trial.

When I see him tonight, I will ask him for more details. And then tell you.

DS said that there was an announcement in the EMB about the squash trial happening on 25 Jan. So, he replied the message, and was asked to go for the trial.

Hi Emelyn,
Thanks for the update. Have not been logging in for some time. Yes my ds managed to attend the squash trial last week.

Have some questions on oral communication (OC) and indep studies (IS)

1) How is OC to be tested. It comprises 40% oral participation (10% HC and 30% from any best 3 subjects) with remaining 60% from current affairs (30% each fm EL and CL). How are the 40% and 60% to be tested? Based on daily classroom participation or a formal oral test?
2) For Ace under IS, so far there seems to be only something given out to the pupils for HCI. Anybody’s ds has done something for ELL?
3) for computation of msg, there is total of 6 subjects of which at least 5 must come from exam subjects and the last can come fm non exam subjects?

Hope someone can enlighten me. thanks and good nite

Talking about computation of msg, is inclusion of third language optional ?

Hi, may I know if the Electronics, Communications & Computer Club (EC3) is interesting and what do they do? Is this CCA one of the popular CCAs in HCI? What are the chances of getting in? TQ

The compulsory boarding school program at sec 3 is wonderful. Both parents and Ds are delighted about it. My ds, now sec 2, can't wait for his turn but he would like to know if it is possible to stay for more than one term and under what criteria. Anyone can help me find out during the briefing? TIA.

Understand previously there is, even books can be different. But starting this year Sec 1, all books are the same.
