Raising the Academic Bar
Let’s talk about Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB), a program designed to elevate academic pursuits. For those eligible for Posting Groups 1 and 2, based on their Achievement Level (AL) scores, the opportunity arises to take English Language, Mother Tongue Languages, Mathematics, and Science to a more demanding level from Secondary 1. The figures reveal that approximately 64% of eligible students in Posting Groups 1 and 2 are gearing up to embrace this academic challenge, mirroring the trend from the previous year.
Navigating the S1 Posting Exercise
The next crucial step in this academic journey is the Secondary 1 (S1) Posting Exercise. Armed with the S1 Option Form and a unique S1 Personal Identification Number (S1 PIN), students can access the S1 Internet System (S1-IS) from 11:30 AM on November 22, 2023, to 3:00 PM on November 28, 2023. This period is crucial for making informed decisions about secondary school choices.
More Than Grades: A Holistic Approach
