7	4. Students should aim to choose subjects which are not highlighted in pink. Discuss other subjects with the Sixth Form.
8	5. If a student wishes to continue with the modern foreign language studied at GCSE rather than studying conversational beginner Chinese, they can choose to take a language at Standard Level in addition to their 2 HL subjects, but must achieve a C / 4 in the target language at GCSE.
