- We encourage parents to discuss with their children when choosing secondary schools. When selecting schools, students and parents should look at the child’s fit with the school.
- Some areas that parents may want to consider include:
- Suitability of the school’s learning environment to the child’s learning need and interests
- Programmes and CCAs that will develop the child’s unique strengths and interests
- School culture and ethos
- Distance between school and home
- More information on secondary schools can be found on the School Information Service, the respective school websites and in the Secondary One Posting booklet given to students in Primary 6.
- Secondary schools also hold open houses where students and parents can learn more about the school’s programmes, and speak with teachers and students.
- To help parents choose schools of the appropriate academic profile in the first year under the new system, MOE will be providing simulated ranges of cut-off points of secondary schools. However, the actual cut-off points may differ, depending on how students and parents actually exercise their choices that year.
- However, we encourage parents to look beyond cut-off points and to also consider a school’s unique programmes that will enable your children to build on the strengths and interests.
