ORCHID PARK SECONDARY SCHOOLSubject-Based Banding
(SBB)
Information for Parents and Students
88What is Subject-Based
Banding (SBB)?
• Every student is unique and possesses different
strengths. Taking subjects at a higher academic level
can help students nurture their strengths and give
them more opportunities throughout their
educational journey, so that they are more engaged
in learning.
• Previously, students in N(A) and N(T) courses can
take higher-level subjects starting from Secondary 3.
With SBB, your child can start doing so from the
start of Secondary 1, to build a stronger
foundation in subjects that they are good at.
89WHAT IS IT LIKE IN SCHOOL? [Example]
Andrew Subject-Based Banding (Secondary)
• Streamed into N(A)
course N(A) N(A)
• Scored A* for Math at English History
PSLE
Express N(A)
Math Science
90What are the possible benefits of taking
higher-level subjects?
• Some students (and parents) have shared that SBB allows the
students to challenge themselves, and to have more options for
Sec 3 subject combinations and post-secondary courses.
• A strong foundation in literacy, numeracy and reasoning, would
ensure students are better prepared for various post-secondary
progression pathways (e.g. to ITE and Polytechnic).
91Eligibility Criteria
• Eligible N(A) and N(T) students should have received an
application form, based on the following criteria:
Course PSLE Standard Grade PSLE Foundation Option to offer subject at
Grade
N(A) A*, A - Express
A*, A - Express/ N(A)
N(T)
B, C 1 N(A)
• Each student should take no more than 3 higher-level subjects
so as to ensure that he/she can cope with the overall academic
demands.
92Other Opportunities to take up SBB
• Students who do well in school examinations in Sec 1 may be
offered opportunities to take higher-level subjects if found suitable to
do so by our school.
• Eligible N(A) and N(T) students will receive an application form at
Mid-year or End-of-year in Sec 1, based on the following criteria:
• 75% or higher in the subject;
• 65% or higher in the overall average; and
• Positive learning attitude to cope with the higher academic demand
Based on sustained good performance and assessment form subject
teachers of ability to cope with the rigour of the more demanding stream.
• Our school will provide support through bridging programmes for
these new SBB students.
93What if my child struggles
with the higher-level subject?
• Students are encouraged to continue with
the higher-level subjects until the end of
Sec 2, as students do need time to adjust
to the higher academic demands.
• Our school will monitor students’ progress
in the higher-level subjects as well as
overall progress in all subjects, and will
endeavour to provide the necessary
support to students to help them cope.
94Will my child continue with the higher-
level subjects all the way to Sec 4?
• Your child may continue with the corresponding higher-level
subject at upper secondary if he/she meets our school’s criteria
at the end of Sec 2.
95(Eligible Students) Opting Into SBB
• Please complete the form to indicate the subjects your child
wishes to take (or not to take) at a higher level.
• Submit the completed form to the General Office by 29 Dec
2019. Please submit the form even if you do not wish to take
up SBB so that we know you have made your decision.
96Opting into SBB
• Purchase the appropriate set of textbooks using the attached
booklist.
97Thank you!
