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.

The following table shows the differences between the current and new grades:

Current Grade         New Grade

None                      A+

Application to higher institution of learning and application for JPA scholarship starting from 2010 will make use of the new grading system. Present Form 5 students and the younger generation students must be aware of this change.

It has been quite some time I did not write in my blog. Just before the second “Latihan Dalam Perkhidmatan” to be held later this morning (18 April 2009), I decided to take a look at the various teachers’ blogs.

It is no surprise that those who are still active blogging are the old faces. However, among the old faces, a few have put up some useful articles and tips especially for the students! I hope the current active bloggers will continue their good work so as to attract more “new comers”.

I spent quite some time to go through most of the blogs (around 200 blogs). A lot of the blogs are still empty or very minimal.  After going browsing through the blogs, I thought to myself: “Why not put up a rating for the blogs that I have browsed?”

If there is a rating on the blogs, students, teachers and the public who would like to take a look at Jit Sin teachers’ blogs will have an easier time. Instead of going through all the blogs, they can use the star rating as a guide to read the blogs. This will save them time.

I am not be an expert in judging blogs. Neither am I qualified to do so. Hence, the rating given here is only based on my personal knowledge and experience on blogs. I may miss out certain blogs and some judgement may be wrong. I don’t mean to belittle anyone. If there is any mistake, please help to point it out.

The following is the Star Rating of Jit Sin Blogs:

 It is my sincere hope that more teachers will put more effort into their blogs and hence join the star rating above!

What pleases me the most is the fact that the students comprised of Science and Art students. They ranged from 5S1 to 5S9 classes and everyone excelled in the subject. It goes to show that Jit Sin students are good students. If they are committed and hard working, they can achieve wonders.

A high standard has been set. It is now up to the future students to maintain or even surpass the record. I hope it is seen as a challenge rather than as a pressure for the future batches of students.

A piece of advise to all students. Take up subjects you are interested. Once you have made up your mind, work hard, be disciplined and go for it!
