Hi can i check regarding the banding of the secondary school. May i know is it the lower the banding the better. What is it all about? And where can i get the info from? I cannot find it in the Choosing your secondary school for admission to Sec one in 2015 given by the school from MOE. Thanks a lot.

The school called asking whether to let my another P5 DS to drop his HCL next year. Understand that HCL marks only applicable to SAP school and he at the most can only get one mark. His result is not good and might or might not be able to get into SAP school. Can advise? Need to give the answer to the school next Monday. Thanks.

This year’s Secondary posting is by cut-off marks or by grades?

Should be by cut-off marks since this year's batch will still get their t-scores.

The banding was based on the O level results of the pupils in the school.
Eg Band 1: Average L1B5 is lower than 11.
(L=English/HMT, B5=best five subjects)
Band 9: Average L1B5 =18

Yes, the lower band the better.

The banding for sec schools were removed some time back, hence you can't find it in the choosing sec school booklet now.

U can check online for past data or visit the school your dc is interested in during their open houses. We were told about the school's O level results, CCA achievements etc during the presentation talk in one of the open house we attended last year.

Are there affirmative news to remove t score? Effective when?
