Your child will need a deep understanding of content knowledge and how to apply it in order to excel in upper secondary.
Secondary 3 English (IP, IB, ‘O’ Level)
• Exposure to current affairs and world events to build content knowledge and personal perspectives in each topic
• Sharpen reading comprehension skills to hone the skills of sourcing for clues
• Use literary devices to enhance effectiveness of writing (e.g. evoke emotions in readers)
• Accurately source for summary points in trickier summary passages and refine paraphrasing skills for more complex points.
Secondary 3 Mathematics (‘O’ Level)
• Dive in-depth into topics that require prior knowledge of lower secondary mathematics topics.
• Introduction of new topics in the Algebra strand, namely Indices, Linear Inequalities and Quadratic Equations and Functions.
• Review topics learnt through Error Analysis and Mid-Term Review to assist with the preparation of weighted assessments
Secondary 3 Additional Mathematics (IP and ‘O’ Level)
• Introduction of new topics in the Algebra strand, namely Non-Linear Simultaneous Equations, Quadratic Functions, Equations and Inequalities, Surds, Polynomials and Partial Fractions
• Strengthen grasp of answering techniques to manage and apply longer and more complicated formulae in the abovementioned topics
• Review topics learnt through Error Analysis and Mid-Term Review to assist with the preparation of weighted assessments
Secondary 3 Science (Pure Sciences – IP and ‘O’ Level)
Split by fields of Science, our Secondary 3 Science programmes will build your child’s skills and knowledge in each pure Science.
Biology
• Learn how to manage longer answers by building upon relevant answering techniques from lower secondary Biology topics such as Cells, Biological Molecules and Nutrition in Humans
• Develop skills in analysis of experimental set-ups and drawing appropriate conclusions
• Enhance interest in Biology through activities or games, such as an Ecology game
Chemistry
• Deep-dive into topics that build on prior knowledge of lower secondary Chemistry topics such as Methods of Purification and Analysis, Kinetic Particle Theory and Atomic Structure
• Develop skills in analysis of experimental set-ups and drawing appropriate conclusions
• Enhance interest in Chemistry through activities or games, such as a ball-and-stick model building activity for Chemical Bonding and a virtual escape room game for Mole Concept
Physics
• Receive comprehensive introduction to new topics such as Kinematics and Dynamics
• Build upon and refine question analysis and answering techniques learnt in lower secondary Physics
• Develop skills in analysis of experimental set-ups and drawing appropriate conclusions, as well as deepen interest in Physics through experiments or activities, such as Thermal Physics and Light hands-on activities
