Guidelines for Form 4 Subject Choice 

Carefully read the following guidelines before proceeding to the online Application Forms.

Dear Parents,
​
Before promotion of your son into Form Four in the new academic year (September 2023), he will have to make a choice of subjects. He will prepare for his CSEC Level Examinations in May/June 2025, in these chosen subject areas. While the ideal situation would be to allow each student his choice of subjects, it is often not feasible and on occasion, not in the student’s best interest. As such, students will have to qualify for ALL non-compulsory subject classes.

Please see the document below for detailed information regarding the Subject Selection Process.

Online Application Links

The Subject Selection process will be done using an Online Application Form, using the links below, which corresponds to the respective Form 3 classes. Please ensure that you select the link for your son's respective class.
The deadline date for the submission of the Online Application Form is Friday 2nd June 2023. Changes can be made online on the form up to this date. Please DO NOT submit multiple forms for the same student. After this date, changes will NOT be allowed.

Form 3 Career Day

There will be an official Career Day for Form 3 students on Saturday 20th May 2023 on the school compound from 9am to 12 noon. It will be an extremely important event to assist both students and parents in terms of possible subject choices for specific career fields. Students will vote on the career presentations they would like to see at the Career Day based on the virtual sessions to be held on 17th & 18th May. Scan the QR code/type in the URL in the flyer below for more information.

Gmail Setup (If applicable)

To complete the application form, it is highly recommended that you create a Gmail Account. If you do not already have a Gmail account, please follow the instructions in this video to learn how to create one.

Additional Information on Scholarship Groups (Form 6)

There are 10 National Scholarship Subject Groupings with only 10 scholarships being awarded per Group. Therefore, please review the presentation given by the Dean of Form 6, Mr. Balwant, concerning this.

Contact Dean 6 - Mr. Balwant

For more information on Form 6 and Business Subjects please contact D6 via email - dean6@stmarys.edu.tt

Information on Business Subjects

In Forms 1 to 3, your sons have not been exposed to any of the Business subjects (Principles of Business, Principles of Accounts, Economics). As the Choice of Subjects period is upon us, the St. Mary's College Business Department has created introductory presentations giving some background into what is expected if any of these Business subjects are chosen in Form 4. Please take the time and go through these productions from our very own Form 4 Business Studies Teachers with your sons. Hopefully, this will guide in making the right subject choices for Form 4.
  • Introduction to P.O.A.​
  • Introduction to Economics ​
  • Introduction to P.O.B.

Please take note of some common mistakes when completing the online form

Vertical Divider
Common Mistakes include:
​
  • For the First Choice of 5 subjects, some parents enter the same subject twice, so only 4 different subjects were entered.
  • For the Second Choice, some parents enter subjects that were already entered as First Choice subjects. The Second Choice subjects are those that will be offered to your sons who do not get one or more of their First Choice subjects. For example, if a student does not get one of his five subjects from his First Choice, that subject will be replaced by the first subject you chose from the set of Second Choice subjects. Also, if a student does not get 2 of his subjects from his First Choice, these 2 subjects will be replaced by the first 2 subjects entered from his Second Choice subjects, and so on.
  • Please do not submit the Application Form more than once. When a Form is submitted, an email confirmation is sent. In this email, there is a link that can be used to make changes if you so desire (check your 'Junk/Spam' folder if you do not see the email).
