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.
