The year 2010 sees a new chapter in the schooling system of SMJK Jit Sin. There are changes in the organisational structure of Form Six programme.
Soft skills have been added to the six form programme. Research/colloquium element has been introduced to prepare students when they further their studies in universities or colleges and to cope with working environment.
Co curriculum activities which were formerly out of the formal time table are now included in the school time table.
With the new elements, there are some adjustment to the time table for six form classes. The new time table will be used for both Lower and Upper Six classes in the coming 2010 academic year. Classes will end at 3.15pm on Monday and Tuesday for students to attend co curriculum activities. On Wednesday and Thursday, classes will end at 1.55pm. Dismissal time on Friday is 1.20pm.
More information on the new Form Six programme will follow soon. Stay tuned!
