# Discretionary Places, 2023-2024
Number of Discretionary places:76
- Number of Form 1 classes: 7
- Language Option (French) 2023
Students who have not studied 6 years of the full local EDB Chinese curriculum in their primary school are eligible to apply for taking French instead of Chinese Language at La Salle College i.e. students who have studied an alternative Chinese or Chinese for less than six years are eligible to take French at La Salle College.
La Salle College offers French as a Language option to ensure all students have studied two languages to Form 6 level, a requirement of Hong Kong and most international universities. The College prepares these students for the Cambridge International Examination (CIE) AS French 8682 Exam. However, to fulfill local University requirements, boys studying French and English as their two languages are also required to attain a pass in an alternative recognized Chinese Exam such as GCSE Chinese or IGCSE Chinese.
At La Salle College, boys who have completed six years in a regular Chinese Language class in Primary School studying the full regular Chinese curriculum must take the HKDSE Core Chinese examination. Boys studying French at La Salle College who have not completed six years of the full local EDB Chinese language curriculum in Primary and or School in Hong Kong must take the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) Chinese in May of their Form 5 year.
To accommodate both French and an alternative Chinese course, La Salle College offers French as a subject in the timetable and the alternative Chinese course via a combination of timetabled subject time and supplementary tutorials. Students cannot choose French if they are taking regular Chinese and English as their two languages.
Note: Students with special circumstances who do not fit the criteria above may apply in writing to the Principal for special exemption. However, given EDB regulations, exemptions are very rarely approved.
- Application Forms can be obtained in one of the following ways.
(a) By post, with a self-addressed and stamped envelope.
