Submission of S1 Options and/or Eligibilities
Here are two ways to submit your child’s secondary school options:
Online via the S1 Internet System (S1-IS) [ Toggle ]
Parents can submit their child’s secondary school options online via S1-IS. Parents can log in to the S1-IS using their child’s BC No./FIN and the S1 PIN during the S1 Option Phase. The S1 PIN is provided in the child’s S1 Option Form(40kb pdf). The S1-IS is accessible 24 hours starting from 12 noon on the first day until 3pm on the last day of S1 Option Phase
You may refer to the step-by-step guide on using the S1-IS.
Important Note:
Remember to print and retain a copy of the Verification Slip (VS) after submitting your child’s options on the S1-IS. Note that if you are unable to view the VS page, your child’s options may not have been successfully submitted. In such cases, log on to the S1-IS again to confirm the status of your submission.
In person at your child’s primary school [ Toggle ]
Parents or their appointed proxy may choose to submit the physical S1 Option Form at the child’s primary school. Parents who wish to authorize a proxy are required to complete the S1 Proxy Form (40kb pdf).
Parents or their appointed proxy are to ensure that the entries on the S1 Option Form are correct and legible. The school staff will key in the options into the system and issue a Verification Slip (VS) endorsed with the school stamp. Parents or their appointed proxy should check the VS to ensure that the options entered are correct and inform the school staff immediately if there are any discrepancies. Parents or their appointed proxy are to sign on the VS after checking
Important Note:
Mainstream P6 pupils who have applied to the Singapore Sports School (SSP) must participate in the S1 Posting Exercise. This will facilitate their re-admission to the mainstream secondary school system should they decide to leave the SSP subsequently.
