Advanced Programme Mathematics (optional 8th subject)

Additional Subjects Policy

As per GDE policy, learners may only take additional subjects at matric level if they have written exams in them at grade 10 and 11 levels.  In other words, a learner may not register for additional subjects in grades 11 or 12.

A learner wanting to take an additional subject must obtain written permission to do so from Ms Rattray and the relevant subject educator. Only learners in the top thirty-five positions in the grade will be permitted to take additional subjects, owing to the work load.

If a learner defaults on submitting assessments or writing tests and/or examinations for an additional subject, he will automatically be deregistered from that subject.

If you wish to apply for an additional subject, please tick the subject on your subject choice form and write ‘additional subject’ next to it. 

 Please remember that an AP score is calculated on 7 subjects.  No additional points are awarded for extra subjects.
