S5 Students Seminar Preparing for SLP and OEA 9-5-2011
Rundown of the Seminar • Updates of SLP and OEA • Differences between SLP and OEA • Preparation for “Self-account” or “Additional Information” • Work Schedule
SLP and OEA • They are different platforms developed by separate organizations. • SLP claims to suit the needs of students for their career path and further studies. • OEA aims to serve universities to select their potential candidates.
SLP (Student Learning Profile) • Student Particulars (by school) • Academic Results (by school) • OLE at school (by school) • Awards & Achievements at school (by school) • Activities/ Awards achieved outside school • Self-account
3. OLE at school in NSS • Only consider the OLE in SS1 to SS3 • Not all OLE will be shown in SLP. Students are requested to select some of them to be printed in their SLP. • The chosen OLE should illustrate the student’s strengths, interests, ECA, etc
5. Activities/ Awards outside School • Only record the activities / awards acquired outside school by students • Record on the e-template (by EDB) • You should decide what activities and awards can illustrate your strengths, interests, etc • The school does not need to verify students’ records Template
6. Self-Account • Optional • No more than 1000 words in English or • 1600 words in Chinese
Joint University Programmes Admission System (JUPAS) A. Other Experiences and Achievements (OEA) B. Reference Report (SRR)
Joint University Programmes Admission System ( JUPAS) A. Other Experiences and Achievements (OEA) • OLE and achievements at school and outside school • Additional information (less than 300 words)
Other Experiences and Achievements (OEA) in Competitions and Activities • To list up to a maximum of 20 items of your activities / achievements • Quality, rather than quantity, that matters in activities. Students should preferably have quality experiences rather than mere participation across many activities. • Students are strongly advised to carefully select the activities that could highlight the essence of their recent personal development
Additional Information • Not more than 300 words (in either English or Chinese) describing about an interest or experience that has been particularly meaningful to you, or how it has affected your personal growth and life goals. • To provide additional information and a fuller picture of your personal development during your secondary schooling and NOT at testing your language skills. • As a framework for discussions during selection interviews
Additional Information • Similar to self-account with different purpose • However, it is better for you to write in English (not more than 300 words) • Since it is for the universities to consider why you are a good candidate for their programmes. • So your language skill is important.
Difference between ‘self-account’ and ‘additional information’ • ‘Self-account’ can focus on your personal development, personal qualities, strengths, interests, experiences, etc in the course of your secondary education. • ‘Additional information’ focuses the experiences, interests, strengths, personal qualities why you are a good candidate to the universities.
Difference between ‘self-account’ and ‘additional information’ • The qualities, strengths, etc you mentioned in the ‘additional information’ should match with the requirements of your targeted institutions • So, in pursuing tertiary education, SLP can be a supplementary document OR a foundation document for your OEA
Difference between ‘self-account’ and ‘additional information’ • ‘Self-account’ can be your story of development • ‘Additional information’ is your specific story for universities
Difference between ‘self-account’ and ‘additional information’ • Even so, you can write the same story in ‘Self-account’ and ‘Additional Information’. • OR, you can write a longer version as your ‘Self-account’ and then polish or refine it to your ‘Additional Information’ for the universities.

Personal and General Abilities • Ability to communicate • Analytical power • Conduct • Independence of mind • Industriousness • Initiative

Supplementary Information from Principal • Principals are requested to provide supplementary information on the students concerned only if they deem there is / are event(s) that may adversely affect their student’s application (such as sickness, accident, family problem).

Preparation • Keep good records of activities, awards or achievements no matter inside or outside school • Ensure quality activities with self-reflection • Explore your career aspiration or field of studies in tertiary education • Research your targeted institutions • Prepare your self-account/additional information to impress the admission officers that you are an appropriate candidate
