Q: My child is eligible for more than one Posting Group (e.g. Posting Group 3 and Posting Group 2, or Posting Group 2 and Posting Group 1) based on their Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) score. Can I choose a mixture of Posting Groups for my child’s secondary school choices?

You can only choose one Posting Group – either between Posting Group 3 and Posting Group 2, or between Posting Group 2 and Posting Group 1. You should choose the Posting Group that is more suited to your child’s learning pace and abilities. The chosen Posting Group will be applied to all the school choices and you cannot submit school choices with a mix of Posting Groups. If you did not make a submission through S1 Internet System to indicate your preferred Posting Group option or submit school choices during S1 Posting, your child will be assigned a Posting Group that offers the more academically demanding subjects at the start of Secondary 1.
