Description
There is also provision for lateral transfer to a more academically demanding course for the lower secondary levels. The school will assess the suitability of students for the lateral transfers. As a guideline, students should be deemed able to cope with the rigour of the more demanding course (especially in literacy and numeracy), and have generally obtained a minimum of 70% in the overall percentage of all subjects combined.
