• 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.
![Page 78: Briefing for Sec 2 NA on Subject Combinations for Sec 3 NA ... · Section A 20 marks Short answer type questions Section B 28 marks Data Response type questions Section C 32 marks](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040517/5e76e0151aa9ea5d1564f97c/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

• Some students (and parents) have shared that SBB allows the students to challenge themselves, and to have more options for Sec 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).

“We each have our own unique personalities, strengths and areas we are not so good at. For Maths, I am on a par with the Express stream students and can do just as well as they can …. she added, I’ve become more confident and mature in thinking, and I learnt how to

• Students accepted into the DPP
will enrol into Higher Nitec courses
at ITE.
• These students are subsequently
offered a place in a polytechnic
diploma course mapped to their
Higher Nitec, subject to them
meeting the Grade Point Average
(GPA) requirements.
For both programmes, posting is based on merit and subject to vacancies in open competition.
Applicants may combine their GCE ‘O’ and ‘N’ Level results to compute their aggregate score, for merit-based admission into PFP and DPP.*
