Parents are reminded that for academic success, subject combinations must be selected after a clear understanding of the requirements for Higher Education courses. It is strongly recommended that students are guided to choose subjects according to their aptitude rather than out of peer pressure or because their friends are choosing those subjects.


Note:

  • English is a compulsory subject in all combinations.

  • You are required to indicate your subject combinations in order of preference (Ranked 1 to 3)

  • Ideally, a minimum of 3 students is required to start a class in an elective subject.
