n the Lower Sixth, lessons will relate to the themes of social issues, social trends, current affairs, education, work, and cultural matters as they pertain to China and Chinese-speaking countries and/or regions. You will focus on the dynamism of the changes in the modern Chinese society and its impact on shaping young people’s ideas and values. There will be lessons to explore various aspects of the Chinese cultural diversity, from traditional festivals to contemporary art and cinema. In the Upper Sixth, lessons will turn to a more detailed exploration of themes related to hot topics of social media, such as work/life balance and environment protection. You will consider the more recent impact of technology breakthroughs on young people, as well as domestic social issues arisen from the widening gap between the rich and the poor and accelerating urbanisation. All Chinese pupils are encouraged to participate in cultural events throughout the year, such as workshops and dinners run by our Modern Linguists Society, the International Film Club, the Oriental Society, and lectures organised by the British Film Institute.
We expect all pupils progressing from UV into the Sixth Form at Wycombe Abbey to achieve a minimum of six GCSE passes at grades 7, 8 or 9. A GCSE grade 7 or above is required for the subjects you wish to study at A level (excluding those subjects which are not offered at GCSE, although a grade 7 or above should be achieved in a subject which requires similar skills). Should a pupil not achieve this standard, a discussion will be held with the pupil, her parents and relevant staff members to support them in finding a suitable alternative route.
You are assessed in an online oral examination by recording your answers following the instructions and one written paper. The Level 3 test is taken at the end of the Lower Sixth year, and the Level 4 test is taken at the end of the Upper Sixth year.
