Use the Target Setting Subject Planner (when your child receives it in Feb) and help your child make the most realistic and best choice for him/her

Ensure your child works hard towards his choice combination

Please choose wisely – your child will not automatically get 2nd choice if he/she puts down a 1st choice he/she does not qualify for



4. Important Information If your child does not qualify for any of the

choices he/she has selected, the school will give him/her the combination that best suits the child based on

a) results (ability), and

b) teachers’ recommendation
