  10. Subjects at P5

  11. Some Guiding Principles • The school will have the best interest of each child in mind • The school will proceed on the basis of the `best fit’ for each child • All pupils will be encouraged to stretch themselves for the more challenging subject combinations instead of taking a perceived easy way out if they are able to do so

  12. Selection Criteria • Progression to P5 will be based on the overall performance in 4 subjects: English, Maths, Science and Mother Tongue (where applicable)

  13. Subject Combinations

  20. Help! How Shall I Choose? • Understand the abilities and needs of your child • Understand the scoring system for PSLE • Understand the future pathways for your child (e.g. to qualify for polytechnic education, a pass in Mathematics at `O’ levels is needed)

  21. How will PSLE scores be calculated? • The PSLE scoring system remains unchanged • The raw mark for each subject is converted to a transformed score (T-score) • The T-score reflects the pupils’ standing relative to other pupils on a common scale • The Aggregate Score is the sum of the T-score in all subjects • Each subject carries equal weighting

  22. How will PSLE scores be calculated? • The PSLE score takes into account the • content and demand of each subject • number of subjects taken

  23. We CARE for each of our pupils • We will proceed in the best interest of every child • We will review cases at the margins carefully and ensure that we always give our pupils a more challenging combination so they can stretch • We will work with parents to ensure you understand the rationale of our recommendations

  24. Work together with us. Check first with teacher; don’t assume the worst Insist on independence Align values Support our school rules Child is to be punctual and to attend lessons unless there is a medical reason. if away, pls call the office Don’t come to school when sick Let’s Work Together
