Subject-Based Banding (SBB)

Information for Parents

What is Subject-Based Banding (SBB)?

• Every student is unique and possesses different strengths. Taking subjects at a higher academic level can help students nurture their strengths and give them more opportunities throughout their educational journey, so that they are more engaged in learning.

• Previously, students in N(A) and N(T) courses can take higher-level subjects starting from Secondary 3. With SBB, your child can start doing so from the start of Secondary 1, to build a stronger foundation in subjects that they are good at.

What are the possible benefits of taking higher-level subjects?

• Some students (and parents) have shared that SBB allows the students to challenge themselves, and to have more options for Secondary 3 subject combinations and post-secondary courses.

• A strong foundation in literacy, numeracy and reasoning, would ensure students are better prepared for various post-secondary progression pathways (e.g. to ITE and Polytechnic).

Eligibility Criteria and Opting into SBB

• Eligible N(A) and N(T) students should have received an application form,

based on the following criteria:

• Each student should take no more than 3 higher-level subjects so as to

ensure that he/she can cope with the overall academic demands.

• Please complete the form to indicate the subjects your child wishes to

take (or not to take) at a higher level. Submit the completed form to the

General Office by 27 Dec 2018. You can submit the form today

if you have made the decision to accept the offer.

Other Opportunities to Take Higher-Level Subjects • Beyond the start of Secondary 1, students who do well in school-

based examinations may be considered to take higher-level

subjects if found suitable to do so by our school.

• Eligible N(A) and N(T) students will receive an application form after

the Secondary 1 mid-year* or year-end examinations, based on the

following criteria:• 75% or higher in the subject;

• 60% or higher in the overall average; and

• Positive learning attitude to cope with the higher academic demand

• Our school will provide support through bridging programmes for

these new SBB students.

What if my child struggles with the higher-level subject?

• Students are encouraged to continue with the higher-level subjects until the end of Secondary 2, as students do need time to adjust to the higher academic demands.

• We will monitor the students’ progress in the higher-level subjects as well as overall progress in all subjects.

• We are mindful of students’ socio-emotional and academic needs and will endeavour to provide the necessary support to students to help them cope.

Will my child continue with the higher-level subjects all the way to Secondary 4?

• Your child may continue with the corresponding higher-level subjects (capped at 3) at upper secondary.
