You will be doing A-levels in Cempaka (since you are going to UK!)
Ask ppl around in F6 and A-levels and you will know what is it like to compare F6 and A-levels. Generally, A-levels are considered (ya, considered, becoz i didn't attend F6!) easier than F6 because of the coverage of syllabus and examination structure. Syllabus wise, STPM got many extra things which are not included in A-levels. In A-levels, you are allowed to take the different papers (under one subject, eg. Chemistry, Physics, and Biology each has 5 papers) in 2 sittings, which we refer to AS and A2. As i explained earlier, AS papers are foundation towards the A2 papers, so you will be doing AS papers at the end of 1 year (we are facing AS exams currently!), and A2 papers at the end of 2 years. You can always resit for papers in the next session if you are not satisfied with the grades you obtained. Every year there are two exam sessions, May/June and Oct/Nov, so you get 2 sets of past year papers every year. We all sit for exams in the May/June. So if you enrol in the A-levels this July, you will sit for AS in May/June 2010, and A2 in May/June 2011. I think that's all you need to know for now... |

HAHA now it comes to accommodation! Well, better keeps it as secrets!
Yes i am 2008 JPA Biotechnology scholar. Currently our hostel is out-campus, so we have to take bus (provided by school) to travel to school and back. Daily life? Weekdays are just normal school days. Classes start 8am to 3:30pm. Remember this is a school, so expect to have a packed schedule..(sometimes teachers find this tiresome too) Non-stop lessons, except for two 30-minutes breaks in between. On weekend you are allowed to go home (but since you are from Perak I don't think so), so those locals staying nearby may opt to take a rest at home. Otherwise you will be staying at hostel, do whatever u like. Co-curricular activities are right after school, from 3:30pm to 5pm. Most are sports, some other like Interact club, Entrepreneur Club, something like that. One feature of Cempaka is the Performing Arts. It does offer a range of performing arts classes to primary and secondary students (not A-levels). Once in a while you get to watch a concert mostly in conjunction with celebrations of festivals. Even in normal assemblies (held on every wed) you get to watch a mini performance. Oh ya the school song is a long one. Make sure you remember the lyrics! Don't worry, it is projected on screen every time it is sung... haha... i think i reveal too much information already... Awaiting you to discover the stories yourself lo! |

Lol. Thx 4 the info from our beloved class monitor Lai.
Seriously, the info he provided is even more complete than the Cempaka's own website. Mind taking over the Cempaka website, Lai? Lol.  Quote:
JPA will give us a monthly allowances of RM 430, that'll be quite enough to cope with your expenses. So, no worries on that. (Though we don't really have the chance to spend our money, since the hostel is so darn far away from anything. Lol. )  Btw, do you know anyone else coming to Cempaka ?

Icic. That's in July. Guess you'll have to brush up all of your subjects before coming here. It's kinda horrible here. Lol. In the sense of there are many smart guys here, like our class monitor. ( He is the best scorer in AS level. ) What I mean by you don't have a chance to spend money is that, our hostel is located on a hill, to get to any shops or bus stops, we'll have to walk down a steep hill. (Imagine walking upwards.) So normally we won't go out too often, the most is like 3 or 4 times a week. |
