Understanding the Educational Landscape

• Aggregate computation for admission to JC is

L1R5 ≤ 20 ( CANNOT include CCA grade as 1 subject )

• Aggregate computation for admission to MI is

L1R4 ≤ 20 ( CAN include CCA grade as 1 subject

provided requirements on EL, MT and Math are satisfied)

Note: Acceptance into individual JCs and MI depends on their respective cut-off points. The above is merely the criteria to

qualify for application.

Promotion Criteria Quality Results and Outcomes

Quality Results

& Outcomes

=

ttitude (Positives) & Discipline

+

orrective measures

+

valuations & Expectations

PERFORMANCE = POTENTIAL - INTERFERENCES - ‘Inner Work of Game’ by Timothy Galway

• Interferences = Low Self Esteem, Negative Thoughts, Social Media distractions and Poor Peer Influences


Homework and Revision

• Sustain good discipline in our students to review their

learning and a good habit to see to the completion of

work on their own

• In preparation for the national examination, students

MUST begin the revision process.

• At home, do exercise discipline and set aside time to

begin revision


Target Setting and Monitoring

• Every graduating student is to MONITOR their

improvement in their subject targets and write actual

scores of every assessment taken next to subject

targets.

• This allows students to timely reflect on what are the

causes and effects enabling their performance and

hence develop some traits of self-directed learners .


Remedial Programmes

• Weaker students will be required to attend remediation.

• Structured remedial for graduating classes will commence

in Week 5 of Term 1.

• Structured remedial is not extra lesson. It is specifically

targeted and your child might not need to attend all

remedial.


Esprit D’Excellence 2015

• Embracing the spirit of excellence ensures self

improvement. Excellence to us means ‘Doing Well, Doing

Good’.

• For the Sec 4E/5N students, they were reminded of the

importance of

1. Target Setting and MONITORING

2. Career Guidance

3. Teambuilding and Service Learning (LEAPS 2.0)

4. Study Skills



From Each His Best

Home & School Partnership


Parents’ Role

• Be interested and monitor your child’s targets and

performance

• Maintain effective communication between your child AND

the teachers

• Keep the school informed about your child’s concerns

(including family challenges) as the school will need to help

support the child through any challenges


• Ensure your child gets 6-7 hours of sleep.

• Be encouraging and positive.

• Provide a listening ear.

• Take extra note on your child’s physical and mental

health.

Parents’ Role


• Designated study area (where everything from

textbooks to notes to stationeries is within reach).

Computer, mobile phones and other electronic

devices should not be within reach and should be

switched off when the child is studying

• Eating well

• Enough sleep

• Regular exercise (30 minutes at least 3 times a

week)

Parents’ Role


Parents’ Role

• The child’s attendance in school is extremely

important.

• Do ensure that your child/ward attends school

every day.

• Only Medical Certificates and a maximum of 4

written letters will be allowed in an academic year.

• Absences which are not due to any medical

reasons will be deemed as “Absent with no valid

reasons”.

• CCA is compulsory and all Sec 1 to 5 students

are subjected to the LEAPS CCA Grading

Scheme (which covers Leadership, Enrichment,

Achievement, Participation, Service)

• All our good performers did well in their CCAs

• CCA will stand down for Sec 4s and 5s on 29

The Learner

Learner- Being Responsible Self Directed Learner

• Always remember that your

Performance = Potential – Interference

• Do keep your Form Teacher informed should you be facing

any challenges in school, at home, or outside school

because we care about your well-being and we want to help

you succeed in your journey in GSS

• You determine where you will like to be at the start of 2016

• Everyone of you can succeed in learning and achieving your

goals


Learner- Academic Review

• Use the various strategies for your learning

• You should be revising when you are doing homework. On

top of that, regular review and revision of concepts and

strategies learnt should be carried out regularly.


Learner- Healthy Lifestyle

• A healthy body and mind is crucial to help a person

to succeed academically

• One of the best ways to maximise brain function is

through exercise and movement.

1. Eat well-balanced meals
