Rockford Manor Procedure For Students Giving Up/Changing A Subject/Programme
2,3. Procedure for student changing to a new subject/programme during the school year
All subject changes/programme to be completed by October 10th. In general, it Is
educationally unsound for a student to change a subject/programme four to six weeks into the
school year and one of the main reasons is that the student will have lost a significant amount
of tuition time and project work with the subject/programme that she is about to embark on.
It is important that students and parents get the selection and subject/programme choice
correct for fifth year and second year; as this will certainly prevent students from loss of
tuition time with a subject that has been chosen later in the academic year. The school
provides a comprehensive subject/programme choice programme for incoming 5th years. It is
vital that both students and parents engage fully with these.
2. The student is referred to the guidance counsellor to discuss potential college entry
implications of moving subjects/level/programme
3. The student brings a subject change form to the Deputy Principal requesting a change
