Students entering Secondary 1 next year will be able to get their school posting results at 9am next Friday.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) said in a statement yesterday that they can access the posting results through any of these channels:

• SMS text messaging, if their parents provided a local mobile phone number during the submission of school choices.

• The Secondary 1 Internet System at the posting exercise website.

• At their primary schools.

Students are to report to the secondary schools that they have been posted to at 8.30am on Dec 23.

Parents and students can get more information on the MOE website at www.moe.gov.sg/s1-posting
