What students have to do now: • think and plan carefully for their future • look for more NSS information or information about different elective subjects e.g. www.edb.gov.hk/334 • balance their own interests and abilities before they make any decisions (DON’T just follow their friends’ decisions) • seek advice from friends, teachers and parents • Fill in the form for choosing electives and submit them to clsss teachers before 24th Feb and 30th April 2010.
