Can I check with any of you whether I am correct that for sec1, History will start from term 3 and Geograohy syllabus will finish end term 2? Also to ask will there be SA2- year end exam, for Geography? If yes, which will mean DS has to revise Geography again after no more lessons for 3rd to 4th term?
Hi,
History and Geography are taught on a half year basis, ie in Sec 1, Term 1 and Term 2 will be on Geography and Term 3 and Term 4 will be on History. SA1 will only have geography and SA2 only history, which means that the marks your DS gets for geography in this coming SA1 will be final, SA2 will not have geography.
This is what my DS went through 2 years ago, not sure if they have change the rule. -
YLH88, thanks for your reply. By the way, DS (sec1) just informed of the SA1 timetable. There is Literature exam. CT1 doesn’t have. Can I know what will be tested? The past class Lit works are based on teacher’s given extract. Will there be a text to be read up in advanced?

Don't remember my DS have any textbook for literature. It is mainly based on the notes the teacher gave them during lesson. -
If I am not wrong. Literature marks are calculated based on their projects + tests
And as for the PE shirt, the lighter blue one is for lower sec while the upper sec wear the dark blue ones :boogie: -

Literature doesn't have textbooks. But we will have a story book or some literary work to read that we would have to buy. I'm I'm not wrong, Sec 1 uses \"To Kill A Mockingbird\"CuriousHippo:

It used to be Chemistry + Biology for 1st Semester and Physics + Biology for 2nd Semester for Sec 1s. I think they changed it now though, its like all 3 sciences are taught at the same timeCuriousHippo:

It is not compulsory to take higher Chinese in Maris Stella & some of the SAP schools. Most of the kids in SAP schools speak English.Hi Bentan,
Is the school strong in both languages? I was told is a SAP school and your child must be strong in chinese language. Any view on this?
Thanks in advance!
To take higher chinese in Sec 1, your child needs to be in the top 10% of PSLE cohort or at least a credit for higher Chinese if 11-30% of PSLE cohort is required. -
Hello, any 1A parents here?

Chez, seems no 1A parents.
Any in particular you want to ask? -
mummy so kiasu:

??? How can the school tell the % of PSLE cohort of HMT?
I was just thinking if getting a merit for HMT during PSLE will entitle them to take HCL during Sec 1?
