Before the New Senior Secondary Curriculum (NSS Curriculum) was imposed in 2012, the school provided both secondary education and matriculation. For Form 1 â 5, there were 5 classes (A â E) in each form. For Form 6 â 7, there were 2 classes (A and S) in each form. 'A' stands for Arts stream while 'S' stands for Science stream.
