“To ensure smooth completion of their online submission, students should – in discussion with their parents 0 first consider their secondary school choices, make their decision, and complete the option form before logging on to the Secondary 1 internet system,” said MOE and SEAB.
“When choosing a secondary school that would be a good fit for the student’s overall educational needs, strengths and interests, students and parents are encouraged to consider a holistic range of factors.
“This includes the school’s distinctive programmes, subject offerings, co-curricular activities, ethos, culture, location and support for special educational needs, if required.”
More information on the offerings by the 141 secondary schools taking part in the 2023 Secondary 1 Posting Exercise is available via MOE’s SchoolFinder website.
MOE and SEAB encouraged parents and students to take the time to explore the schools’ websites, social media pages, as well as take part in their open houses before making a decision.
SECONDARY 1 POSTING RESULTS
The posting results will be released between Dec 20 and Dec 22. The posting results can be accessed through any of the following channels:
- Short Message Service (SMS)
- Secondary 1 internet system using the student’s birth certificate number/FIN and the S1 PIN
- The student’s primary school
Students do not need to report to their posted secondary schools upon receiving their Secondary 1 posting results. They should instead refer to their posted schools’ websites for more information such as the reporting details, book list, and purchase of books and uniforms.
Parents of the incoming Secondary 1 cohort who are on Parents Gateway will also receive instructions from their posted schools from the afternoon the posting results are released.
If students are unable to report to their posted secondary school on the first day of school in January 2024 due to valid reasons, they should inform the secondary school directly after receiving their posting results to confirm that they are taking up the place.
