The results of the 2008 Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) will be released on Thursday, 20 Nov 2008.

Pupils may obtain their result slips from their respective schools from 12.00 noon on 20 Nov 2008.

On the same day, eligible pupils will also receive their option forms to select secondary schools from their respective primary schools. Pupils are required to hand the option forms to their parents.

What parents have to do

In every sealed option form there will be a unique Secondary One Personal Identification Number (S1 PIN) which allows parents to submit the school choices for their child on-line via the Secondary One Internet System (S1-IS).

The S1-IS is accessible 24 hours through the MOE Secondary One Posting website starting from 12.00 noon on 20 Nov 2008 to 3.00 pm on 26 Nov 2008.

Parents are strongly encouraged to carefully consider and complete the option form before logging on to the S1-IS, so that they can complete their on-line submission quickly and smoothly.

Alternatively, parents may also submit their child's secondary school options through their child's primary school.

Submission at the primary schools will be from 12.00 noon to 3.00 pm on 20 Nov 2008; and 9.00 am to 3.00 pm on 21, 24, 25 and 26 Nov 2008.

Release of Secondary One Posting Results

The Secondary One posting results will be released on 18 Dec 2008.

This year, parents will be able to receive the posting results through an additional channel, via SMS text messaging.

To receive the SMS, parents just need to provide a local mobile phone number during the submission of their child's school choices, either on-line via the S1-IS or at the child's primary school.

In addition to SMS, parents will be able to receive their child's posting results through any of the following channels:

• S1-IS
• The Interactive Voice Response System (Tel: 6691-2066)
• Going to the child's primary school

Pupils are to report to their posted secondary schools on 19 Dec 2008 at 8.30 am.
