January 2013 - SJI boys rejoice in their strong 2012 GCE ‘O’ Level results
SJI boys were in a celebratory mood when they received their 2012 GCE ‘O’ Levels examinations results on 10 January 2013.
Among the strong performers were 85 boys who scored 6A1s or more, with 18 of them scoring 8A1s or more.
All boys qualified for post-secondary education, with more than 97% of boys qualifying for Junior College and the others qualifying for Polytechnic.
We are particularly proud of two boys, Tan Ser Yung and Lim Bo Zhi, who overcame personal difficulties in their upper secondary years to achieve strong results. Ser Yung scored 4 distinctions and a B4 for English battling the physical aftermath of his Judo accident in 2010. Bo Zhi struggled through family difficulties, including the death of his mother, to attain 5 distinctions and a L1B4 score of 9.
In terms of the boys’ performance in the subjects, strong distinction rates were achieved in many, in particular Higher Art (100%), Art (100%), Elementary Mathematics (94%), Geography (69%), Biology (85%), History (82%), Physics (75%), Combined Humanities (76%), Additional Mathematics (73%), and Chemistry (71%).
