These are interim and uniform tests for students
of Forms 1, 2 & 3 in the major subjects of English, Chinese/French
and Mathematics to be held twice a year in October and March.
The duration of these tests will usually last not more then
2 lessons and the purpose is to inform the parents of their
children's progress and to do something about the subject(s)
which is(are) unsatisfactory. The tests serve as a kind of
academic barometer before the 2 major examinations.
Marks of the 2 major examinations of Form
3 students are to be submitted to the Education Department.
Nearly all Form 3 students will be promoted to Form 4 based
on the JSEA Central Allocation.
There are other tests and assessments like
dictations, group projects, experiences form time to time
based on the teaching program of a particular subject. These
will be mentioned in the Policy on Homework and Tests.
The form teacher of each
class should assign one pupil to be responsible for putting
down all homework assigned each day and dates for assessments
and tests on the blackboard.
The assigned homework each day and dates for assessments
and tests should also be recorded in a special Assignment
Book kept by a specially assigned pupil for record purpose
and future reference.
Each student in F.1-F.3 must record all homework given
and dates of assessments and tests in their own Student
Handbook. |
| Like F.1 - F.3, the assigned
homework each day and dates for assessments and tests
should be recorded in a special Assignment Book kept by
a specially assigned pupil. There is no need to copy all
details on the black board. |
The special Assignment Book
for each class will be collected at the end of each term
for inspection.
|
| The assignment for students
in the form of homework, tests and projects will be assessed
and they will constitute different percentages of the
total marks for different subjects. |

and Counselling page.
