To God be the glory.

Angus and Aubrey who were pursing poly education in 2008 did the A level as home schoolers.

Both did Literature at A level and GP at AO by themselves without any help from anyone.

Aubrey got an A for Lit and B3 for GP while Angus got C5 for GP and D for Lit. They have to apply for time off from poly to do their exam.

Do home schooling promote independent learning? What kind of students do our version of home schooling produce?

When I teach social studies in school, one of the skills I stressed is the role that cross-reference plays in supporting an assertion.

Below is a reference that my son, Angus, received from his poly which he is using to apply for a scholarship from NTU. I

know that homeschooling has played an important part in allow his tutor to make the observations that Angus displayed in class.

To whom it may concern:

It is my pleasure to recommend Mr. Ess Angus Gilchrist for admission to Digital Filmaking at School of Art,Design& Media, Nanyang Technological University.

I am a Facilitator at Republic Polytechnic Singapore I came to know Angus when I facilitated his learning in Sequential Art during his final year in our institution.

Angus possesses excellent analytical skill and is always eager to contribute. He demonstrated this on a weekly basis, through team discussion and projects. He is very passionate about the work he engages himself with.

His serious interests in the subject can be seen in his enthusiasms and active participation
during class discussions.

He has always had a stalwart interest in the field of Digital Filmaking. His spontaneous and stiff upper lip attitude is the quality that would bring him success in his chosen field. There is no question of his belief in teamwork and willingness to help others. It is no surprise he is held in good favour of staff and peers.

l am pleased to act as referee for Mr. Ess Angus Gilchrist . If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours Sincerely,
