Top Questions From Citizens
What is the MOE-OBS Challenge Programme?
The programme consists of pre- and post-course lessons taught by our teachers and the OBS Course led by OBS Instructors. It is designed to ensure achievement of the programme’s learning outcomes and transference of learning to other areas of the students’ life. Students are not graded for performance but are encouraged to work on goals they set for themselves.
What should my child bring for the OBS Programme?
Please refer your child to the packing list. Both the school and OBS discourage students from bringing expensive items. We encourage your child to borrow items that he/she does not have from family/friends/schoolmates to minimise unnecessary expenses. Your child’s valuables, such as mobile phones and wallets, will be kept by OBS to ensure the security of personal items and minimal distraction during the Programme.
Where can I find the schedule and details of each HBL session?
The information of each HBL session can be found on the HBL microsite shared with the students. Alternatively, you may find the schedule on our school’s website.
What can I expect from HBL?
HBL comprises synchronous lessons through platforms such as Zoom, as well as asynchronous lessons via online portals such as Student Learning Space (SLS). There will also be readings and assignments.
What is the duration of the HBL?
Students should start each HBL session with a check-in with their Class Mentors at 8:00am. Thereafter, they should follow the HBL schedule and complete the necessary tasks. However, students are to be mindful of the amount of screen time when using their personal learning devices.
What happens if my child needs assistance?
Teachers are contactable through email and any other means of communication that they have established with their students.
How will HBL impact after-school activities?
On HBL days, there will be no activities in school that students need to attend. Parents will be notified should there be exceptions.
How many Weighted Assessments are there in a year?
For Secondary 1 to 3 students, there will be 3 Weighted Assessments a year, one in each of Terms 1, 2 and 3. Secondary 4 and 5 students will have 2 Weighted Assessments in Terms 1 and 2.
Why are Weighted Assessments structured during curriculum time?
Just like timetabled lessons, Weighted Assessment are part of the learning process. Structuring them during curriculum time is the most natural and conducive way for students to learn, and it also reduces assessment anxiety.
