MUET and End of Year Exam for Lower 6
Filed Under School | Leave a Comment
This morning, I mentioned to my Lower 6 Computing students that the tentative date for the year end exam will begin from 14th September 2010. The official exam time table will be made known as soon as there are no further changes and after it has been approved by the Principal. I did not expect the casual mentioning of the exam date to be passed around so fast. Soon after the Computing class is over, news has spread that the exam will start on 14th Sept.
Well, I suppose many students are concerned about the exam. Good sign indeed. It shows that our students are aware of the importance of assessment in particular and their studies in general. After more than 4 months of studying in Form 6, it is time to gauge how much the students are able to understand the syllabus content.
There are two public exams to be held in October this year, that is PMR (5th Oct – 12 Oct) and MUET Speaking Test (12th Oct – 20th Oct). With that in mind, the year end exam date for the Lower 6 has been arranged to begin on 15th Oct 2010 and will last until 22nd Oct. The actual exam time table will be published in the school EDMS within a few days.
There are only four weeks left after the exam. The marking and processing schedule will be a little bit tight. Nevertheless it should be better than having the exam early and then left with seven weeks after that.
As for the MUET Speaking Test, a total of 271 students will be sitting for the test. Most of the candidates are the Lower 6 students with a few Upper 6 students who are trying to improve on their previous grades. There are two centers in this school and the test is expected to last for four days ie 12th Oct – 14th Oct and 18th Oct.
The MUET written test will be held on 13th Nov 2010 on Saturday. Unlike previously, this time around, the school intends to hold the written test in the classrooms. The main consideration for this change is the better sound effect if the listening test is held in the classroom. We will monitor and evaluate to see whether the change of test center for the written test is a better choice.

STPM Trial Exam 2010
Filed Under Form Six | Leave a Comment
Teachers and students have been asking regarding the coming STPM trial exam date. The matter has been discussed and finally the trial exam date has been fixed. The trial exam will begin on 14 September 2010 (Tuesday) and end on 22 September 2010 (Wednesday). The actual exam timetable will be posted at the notice board at the school EDMS web site. The venue of the exam is in the school hall.
On 20 September 2010 (Monday), two accounting papers are scheduled. As the subject involves only the Art students, the Science students are given a day off.
There is speculation around of the possibility that the government might declare extra holidays in conjunction with the “Hari Raya Puasa” festival. Well, the school is prepared of such possibility. As soon as the announcement is made (if it were to be made), then a new exam timetable will be made known immediately.
No matter what, all Upper 6 students and teachers alike are advised to make early preparation for the trial exam.
Good luck.

Seminar on STPM Exam
Filed Under Form Six | Leave a Comment
Starting from next Monday (2 Aug 2010) for a period of more than a week, a series of seminars will be conducted for Upper 6 students. Experienced and qualified teachers (internal and external) have been invited to give talks on the techniques to answer STPM exam questions.
It is not easy to invite these teachers because they are very busy. Apart from having their normal teaching job, they are greatly sought after by schools to give talks and provide guidance around this time. However, thanks to a few of our senior teachers who have wide contact, we are able to invite experience speakers for most of the STPM subjects.
Hopefully, our students will appreciate the effort of the school and greatly benefit from these talks.

New Sixth Form Time Table
Filed Under Form Six | Leave a Comment
It has been a month since the school adopted new sixth form time table. There are two major changes in the time table as compared with the former system. The first change is the introduction of a new feature, Research and Colloquium (R&C), in the time table.
Students have to carry out a research project in group of 5 to 6 student, guided by a teacher. Two periods per week are allocated for R&C in the time table. It is hoped that with the training undertaken by students during pre-U period, the students will be better equipped and ready for their university days.
The second change in the sixth form schooling system is the integration of co-curriculum activities in the school time table. Four periods per week of co-curriculum activities are arranged and carried out during the school hours. Students carry out two periods of Club/Society activities on Monday whereas Uniform Body activities are held on Tuesday.
The response of teachers and students towards the new sixth form time table has been positive thus far. It is hoped that with the new features in the time table, form sixth students will play a more active and leading role in the school, become more involved in community-based projects and aware of national as well as international issues. In other words, hopefully they will be more rounded in terms of personality.
