Areas for Improvement -
• Only 60% of students obtained a passing grade in literature
• Your text was “The Pearl”
• Observation by marker
-most candidates did not read the text. Just read the notes
-gave brief answers when question required detailed analysis and depth
So for 2012
• Your text “Clay Marble”- a literature book depicting the hardship faced by a young girl during Vietnam War. Some qualities represented are resilience and persistence in the face of adversity
- The Clay Marble -
• Introduction: The story of the Clay Marble, by Minfong Ho, takes place in Cambodia during the late 1970's.
• A communist group called the Khmer Rouge took control of the country and treated the people with great brutality.
• People were forced to leave the cities and work as farmers in the fields. They had very little to eat and many were killed for stealing food or trying to escape.
• Then soldiers from neighbouring Vietnam invaded Cambodia to fight against the Khmer Rouge.
• Main characters:
Dara Sarun Jantu Nea Chnay
- Implications for all students -
• Be consistent in your performance in ALL subjects
• Start right and start now!
• English and Maths two key subjects to which you must pay special attention.
• 35% of the GCE O/N/NT level Paper 1 tests students on the fundamental ie P1- Sec 2 syllabus
• Begin with the end in mind. Have a copy of the O/NA/NT paper

- Some points to note -
• Understand the LEAPS system of CCA grading
• Good CCA attendance is the key to good CCA grade
• If students have less than 50% attendance in any particular year all CCA points gathered previously will be nullified
• If students do not participate actively in CCA they do not get any points for achievement
• CCA builds character in student, encourage active participation in CCA
- CCA builds character in students –
Encourage active participation
