  1. New Senior Secondary Subject Choice Seminar 24-April-2010

  2. Mock Subject Selection

  3. Over-subscribed Over-subscribed Over-subscribed Over-subscribed

  4. Arrangement of elective subjects in Senior Secondary curriculum

  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/ History/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. Core Subjects : English, Chinese, Mathematics, Liberal Studies 3 Elective Subjects Mathematics Extension

  11. Mathematics Extension Module 1 : Calculus & Statistics Module 2 : Algebra & Calculus

  12. Broaden the knowledge in Mathematics • Universities Admission Requirements • HKU –Engineering, Information System, Actuarial Science, Quantitative Finance • HKCU –Quantitative Finance, Risk Management, Engineering • HKUST –Substitution for one Elective Subject

  13. Some observation found in the mock selection only Econ & Bio are chosen as subjects in Block 1, but her allocation rank is not competitive enough can’t allocate the 3rd subject.  ICT – 1st choice BAFS (ACC) – 2nd choice PHY -3rd choice BAFS( Fin) – 4th Ch. Hist – 5th E.Lit - 6th  (same block as ICT) (same block as ACC) (same block as ICT) (same block as ACC)

  14. not compatible with Phy+Bio Chem – 1st choice Bio – 2nd choice PHY -3rd choice Phy+Bio – 4th Bio+Chem – 5th Phy+Chem- 6th Geog- 7th ICT – 8th ranking not competitive enough No subject can be allocated to block 1  Solution:- Replace Phy+Bio with Phy+Chem in block 1 , take ICT in block 3  (same block as Phy+Bio)

  15. 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 • consider Combined Science (Phy+Chem) or (Chem+Bio) in block 1

  16. Fully filled . A better ranking is needed for successful allocation Fully filled in the mock selection almost fully filled (39/40) quite full (33/40) Tips for Choosing elective subjects

  17. 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 “e-class.” • Please complete the on-line S4 Subject Selection Form on or before 21 May 2010 • Both student and parent have to sign on a printed copy of your choice.

  18. 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%]

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