Sembawang Secondary School
Cut-off points, 2025 S1 posting
- The cut-off (COP) is the PSLE score of the last student posted; “first posted” is the best. Lower is better. Meeting it doesn't guarantee a place: ties are broken by citizenship, then choice order, then ballot.
- For students entering Secondary 1 in 2026. Cut-offs shift a little each year.

Leadership and Uniformed Groups
- Leadership (Girls and Boys)
Applications open around May of Primary 6. A DSA place doesn't depend on the cut-off, but the PSLE score must qualify for a posting group the school offers, and the child can't then take part in S1 posting.
