10. Important • All relevant documents are available on the school website and on the portal. • It is students’ responsibility to opt for their choice of studies. • After making subject choices, print out the confirmation notice for reference. • If no option is registered by the deadline, student will be allocated to any available option.

11. Principles underlying Sec 2 Streaming Process (Normal Technical)

12. Our basic approach is to provide a set of courses in which you can score well and which will allow you the widest choice of course at the next level. • The school is determined to help every BPIAN to achieve this target. • We will work with parents to get a win-win situation for every one of you.

13. It is important to realise that having more subjects does NOT guarantee getting a better L1B2. • It is better to take six subjects and get As than take seven subjects and score a mixture of As and Bs.
