Important
• All relevant documents are available on the school website and on the portal.
• It is students’ responsibility to opt for their choice of studies.
• After making subject choices, print out the confirmation notice for reference.
• If no option is registered by the deadline, student will be allocated to any available option.
• Our basic approach is to provide a set of courses in which you can score well and which will allow you the widest choice of course at the next level.
• The school is determined to help every BPIAN to achieve this target.
• We will work with parents to get a win-win situation for every one of you.
• It is important to realise that having more subjects does NOT guarantee getting a better L1B2.
• It is better to take six subjects and get As than take seven subjects and score a mixture of As and Bs.
