Briefing for Primary 4 Parents

Subject-based Banding

Catering To Your Child’s Abilities

We believe that each child is

unique and has different

aptitudes, capabilities and talents

We believe in providing a

balanced education that

• caters to the different abilities of

each child

• prepares him for life

• A refinement to the streaming

process

• Option of a combination of

standard and foundation subjects,

depending on a child’s strengths

What is Subject-based Banding?

Why Introduce Subject-based

Banding?

• To recognise the different abilities of

students

• To help each child realise his

potential, based on his interests and

strengths

Why Introduce Subject-based

Banding?

• To give a student greater flexibility to

concentrate on the subjects he is good at

subjects that he is strong in

that he heeds more support in
