PSLE cut-off point for CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent
MOE publishes the PSLE score of the first and the last student posted into each school at each posting group. Below are CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent's figures for the 2026 Secondary 1 intake — the 2025 PSLE cohort. The last student's score is what is usually meant by the school's cut-off point.
| Posting group | Non-affiliated | Affiliated |
|---|---|---|
| Posting Group 3 | AL 11–13 | AL 9–20 |
| Posting Group 2 | AL 21–24 | AL 21–25 |
| Posting Group 1 | AL 25–30* | AL 26–28 |
* This posting group did not fill. MOE School Finder then reports the cut-off as AL 30 — the weakest score the school could have admitted — rather than the score of a student who was actually posted there.
Cut-off points move by a few points from year to year, and not every student who met the cut-off was posted here — some are tie-broken out. Read these as a guide to where a school sits, not as a threshold to clear.

What this intake means for the Maths your child will sit
A posting group decides the level a student takes each subject at from Secondary 1, not only which class they are in — and under Full Subject-Based Banding a student who did well enough in a subject at PSLE can take that subject at a more demanding level than their posting group's default. So the score above is the start of the Mathematics your child sits at CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent, not the whole of it.
- Secondary 1 G3 Math syllabus
Posting Group 3 students take Mathematics at G3 by default — the fastest of the three, and the usual route into Additional Mathematics from Secondary 3.
- Secondary 1 G2 Math syllabus
Posting Group 2 students take Mathematics at G2 by default, covering most of the G3 content at a steadier pace.
- Secondary 1 G1 Math syllabus
Posting Group 1 students take Mathematics at G1 by default, building the foundations in smaller steps.
- Secondary Math syllabus, all four years

School Overview
CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent (STC) has its origins in 1892, when it started as CHIJ Kampong Bahru providing primary-level classes under the Church of St. Theresa. The school transitioned to a full secondary institution during the late 1950s, received government-aided status in 1952, and moved entirely to secondary education by 1986. Located in Bukit Merah, STC operates as a single-session all-girls secondary school with the motto "Simple in Virtue, Steadfast in Duty."
The school's educational approach centres on building a Christ-centred community that upholds truth, justice, freedom, and love, with an emphasis on developing resilient young women through experiential learning. STC holds affiliations with CHIJ (Kellock), CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace, and Catholic Junior College, providing pathways for students at both entry and post-secondary stages. The school is also recognised for its longstanding tradition in hockey, having produced national-level players since the 1960s.
Admission Process
Entry to STC at Secondary 1 takes place through the PSLE posting exercise and the Direct School Admission (DSA) scheme.
For the 2025 intake (based on 2024 PSLE results), the indicative Achievement Level (AL) cut-off points were as follows:
Posting Group 3 — Affiliated: 11 to 20, Non-Affiliated: 8 to 12
Posting Group 2 — Affiliated: 21 to 25, Non-Affiliated: 21 to 23
Posting Group 1 — Affiliated: 26 to 28, Non-Affiliated: 25 to 30
These figures represent the AL score of the last admitted student in each category and may shift annually depending on demand. A lower AL score indicates stronger academic performance.
Students from affiliated CHIJ primary schools receive priority consideration during the posting exercise. DSA applications for the 2025 intake cover talents in English Drama, Floorball, Hockey, Modern Dance, Netball, Softball, and Track and Field (all for girls). Applications are submitted through the MOE DSA-Sec Portal, typically opening in May.
After enrolment, students are placed under Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB), which allows them to take individual subjects at levels matched to their strengths rather than following a fixed stream.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
STC follows the national curriculum framework, with core subjects including English Language, Mathematics (Elementary and Additional), Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), and Humanities (Geography, History, Social Studies). Elective offerings include Art, Literature in English, Principles of Accounts, Nutrition and Food Science, and Exercise and Sports Science. Under Full SBB, students can take subjects at different levels, allowing for a more personalised academic experience.
The school runs two distinctive programmes. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP), titled "Education For Life," focuses on developing transferable skills through interdisciplinary, real-world problem-solving projects. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Sports and Outdoor Education uses hockey and other physical activities to cultivate self-direction, confidence, and resilience in students.
STC has maintained strong academic results over time, with consistent pass rates at the O-Level examinations, particularly in Mathematics and the Sciences. Students preparing for national examinations may benefit from structured external support. DeepThink, a math tuition centre, offers programmes aligned to the O-Level Mathematics and Additional Mathematics syllabuses that can complement the school's classroom instruction.
Bilingual education is part of the school's curriculum, with Mother Tongue language options in Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, including Higher Chinese for eligible students.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
Following upgrading works completed under the PRIME programme in 2011, STC's campus features air-conditioned classrooms with smart technology, fully equipped science and computer laboratories, a library, arts studios, an indoor sports hall, and a full-sized hockey pitch.
Co-curricular activities (CCAs) are organised across four categories:
Sports: Hockey, Netball, Softball, Track and Field, Floorball, and Bowling.
Performing Arts: Choir, Modern Dance, English Drama, and Angklung/Kulintang Ensemble.
Clubs and Societies: Entrepreneurship Club, Infocomm Technology (Media Production), and Infant Jesus Youth Mission.
Uniformed Groups: Girl Guides.
CCAs at STC are designed to support character development, leadership opportunities, and community engagement. The school also organises overseas service-learning trips to countries such as Vietnam and Cambodia, giving students exposure beyond the classroom.
Student Life and School Culture
School life at STC is shaped by Catholic values of simplicity, duty, and sisterhood. The daily routine combines academic lessons, Character and Citizenship Education (CCE), and CCA sessions. The school maintains a structured pastoral care system with guidance programmes that address student well-being and social-emotional development.
The House System, comprising six houses, encourages participation and healthy competition through events such as sports carnivals and inter-house activities. Parent involvement is supported through the Parent Support Group (PSG), which works closely with the school on various initiatives.
STC operates a leadership development framework across Secondary 1 to 3, progressively building students' capacity for self-direction, teamwork, and responsibility. The school's single-session structure means that students have afternoons available for CCAs, supplementary classes, or personal study time.
For families with daughters entering secondary school, attending the school's open house — typically held in the middle of the year — provides an opportunity to tour the campus, speak with staff, and understand the school's programmes and culture firsthand.

How DeepThink supports CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent students
G1, G2, G3 Mathematics support for the national secondary pathway at CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent. Classes follow the student's actual Mathematics subject level.
We prepare students for the paper their year sits: O-Level or N-Level, or the Singapore-Cambridge SEC from 2027.
Your child’s posting group sets the level they start Mathematics at. Under Full Subject-Based Banding, they may take it at a different level.
Additional Mathematics support is available for students taking that subject; we check the actual course and assessment requirements.
Classes are capped at 4 students and grouped by learning pace, with practice focused on the gaps shown in schoolwork.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Which Math class suits a CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent student?
We teach Mathematics at G1, G2 or G3. We use the student's current Mathematics course, year and schoolwork to choose a class. Students learn with others studying the same course at a suitable pace.
Does the posting group determine my child's Mathematics class?
It indicates the usual starting subject level, but Full Subject-Based Banding allows students to take subjects at different levels. Tell us the Mathematics level shown on your child's timetable or assessments so lessons match what they actually study.
When should a secondary student start tuition?
Start when schoolwork reveals gaps in understanding or confidence. Earlier support can strengthen algebra and problem-solving foundations; students joining later can focus on their current topics and assessments.
What makes DeepThink different for CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent students?
Small classes, teaching matched to the student's actual Mathematics course, and practice that develops clear working as well as correct answers. Parents are kept informed about progress and areas needing more practice.
How many students are in each class?
Four, at most. Students are grouped by learning pace, not just by year level, so each lesson moves at the speed of the students actually in it. When no class matches a child’s pace, we open a new one. In a class that size, every child answers questions, gets their working checked, and gets help the moment they need it.
Can families start with a trial class first?
Yes. A trial class helps you see whether our teaching pace and approach suit your child. Trials in existing classes are free. If no class suits your timing, we can arrange a 1-to-1 trial at another time for $30.
