Swiss Guiding Principles for Staff and Students
Every Staff and Student Well-Cared for
Every Lesson a Good Lesson, Every Learning Activity Purposeful
Reflect and Learn from Every Opportunity and from Each OtherFull Subject-Based Banding
(Full SBB)
We nurture students to Think, Care and Lead with P.R.I.D.E.
Passion . Resilience . Integrity . Dare to Try . EmpathyWhat 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.Eligibility Criteria and Opting into SBB
• Eligible N(A) and N(T) students should have received an
application form, based on the following criteria:
Course PSLE Standard Grade PSLE Foundation Grade Option to offer subject at
N(A) A*, A - Express
A*, A - Express/ N(A)
N(T)
B, C 1 N(A)
• 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 SBB Booth today, before noon, or
the General Office by 27 Dec 2019 (Friday), 3 pm.Outstanding Swiss Alumni

Students of different backgrounds and academic abilities will be organised in the same form class. Suitable Sec 2 students may take Humanities subjects at a more demanding level, on top of English, Mathematics, Mother Tongue Language and Science.
How is Swiss Piloting Full SBB?
• In 2020, we will be
Offering Express Humanities to Sec 2 N(A)
students only
Implementing new ways of organising Sec 1
form classes
• In addition, in 2021, we will be
Offering NA Humanities to Sec 2 N(T)
studentsHow is Swiss Piloting Full SBB?
• For all other subjects, they will be grouped in their subjects classes according
to the level at which they offer each subject, i.e. Exp, N(A) or N(T).
