  5. What is Combined Science?

  6. Rationale To meet the needs of students with a strong interest in science • For students taking twoscience subjects, ONE of them is chosen from the three specialised subjects of Physics, Chemistry or Biology • The students will study part of the other two subjects by a combined approach to build a broad and comprehensive knowledge in science

  7. Chemistry Part of CS How is Combined Science (CS) related to Bio/Chem/Phy? Chemistry Elective Part Compulsory Part Subject Content of CS’s Chem part is about ½ that of Chemistry

  8. Bio Chem Phy Biology Part Chemistry Part Physics Part Combined Science (Chem, Bio) Combined Science (Bio, Phy) Combined Science (Phy, Chem) Taking 2 parts only

  9. + + + Econ/ Geog / ICT/ Lit. inEng /Ch. Hist/ BAFS …. Room for learning in other KLAs Combined Science– for students wishing to take 2 elective subjectsin the Science Education KLA Possible subject combinations: Combined Science (Phy, Chem) + Bio Combined Science (Bio, Phy) + Chem Combined Science (Chem, Bio) + Phy Broad and comprehensive learning in science

  10. Tips for Choosing elective subjects • only students who are top 35% in Mathematics of the Form can choose to take Mathematics module (module 1 or 2) • Students taking Mathematics module are NOT allowed to take Chinese History andEconomics in Block 3 • consider Combined Science (Phy+Chem) or (Chem+Bio) or (Phy+Bio) in block 1

  11. Fully filled . A better ranking is needed for successful allocation Fully filled in the mock selection almost fully filled (38/40) quite full (23) Tips for Choosing elective subjects

  12. Important reminder :- • Students are required to fill-in an on-line application form for your choice of S4 subjects. Username and password should be the same as that used for the “e-class.” • Please complete the on-line S4 Subject Selection Form on or before 23 May 2011 • Both student and parent have to sign on a printed copy of your choice.

  13. Mechanism of F.4 Streaming • Students will be ranked according to their scores in annual average mark • Annual mark : [ 1st term mark x 30% + 2nd term mark x 70%]

  14. Priority of Streaming will be given to students with • all subjects passedin the Annual result • higher marksin Annual average mark • Student's choices • Student’s 1st three choiceswill be entertained as far as possible unless the subject she selected is full. • Student 4th– 10th choiceswill then be considered until 3 subjects have been allocated

  15. Result of Subject Allocation will be released on 11 July 2011 • Appeal against subject allocation to be applied on or before 15 July 2011 • Results of Appeal to be released on 29 July 2011
