Allocation of subject combinations

Based on:

1.Academic merit (overall year-end results in Sec 2)

2.Choices of subject combinations, subject to

meeting pre-requisites for relevant subjects

The school will allocate a subject combination as we deem fit for students

who fail to secure any of his chosen subject combinations.

The actual subject combinations offered will depend on demand for the

subject combination and feasibility in offering it (ie. No. of students who

choose the subject combination, teacher deployment, timetable constraint

etc).
