PSLE cut-off point for Guangyang Secondary School
MOE publishes the PSLE score of the first and the last student posted into each school at each posting group. Below are Guangyang Secondary School'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 | PSLE score range |
|---|---|
| Posting Group 3 | AL 9–22 |
| Posting Group 2 | AL 21–25 |
| Posting Group 1 | AL 26–30* |
* 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 Guangyang Secondary School, 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
Guangyang Secondary School has its origins in Kong Yiong High School, which was established in 1918. The school was reconstituted as a government secondary institution on 1 January 1987. Located in the Bishan area, it is a co-educational, single-session school that welcomes students from a range of backgrounds. The school operates under the motto "Strong in Principles, Steadfast in Duty," reflecting its emphasis on nurturing learners who demonstrate integrity, perseverance, and a collaborative spirit.
Two distinctive programmes define the school's character. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) centres on STEM and Sustainability, engaging students in hands-on projects that address environmental issues through science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), titled "Act Up! Speak Up!", develops confidence and advocacy through music, drama, and the performing arts. Together, these programmes support both analytical thinking and creative expression across the student body.
Admission Process
Entry to Guangyang Secondary School at Secondary 1 is primarily through the PSLE posting exercise. Based on the 2024 intake, the indicative cut-off points by Achievement Level score were: Posting Group 3 (Express) 8 to 22, Posting Group 2 (Normal Academic) 21 to 25, and Posting Group 1 (Normal Technical) 26 to 30. Lower AL scores indicate stronger performance. These figures may shift from year to year depending on cohort demand.
The school also participates in the Direct School Admission (DSA) scheme. For the 2025 intake, DSA categories include Sports (Badminton, Basketball, and Cross Country for both boys and girls), Community Youth Leadership, and English Drama. Applications are submitted through the MOE DSA portal, which typically opens in May, with trials and interviews held between June and July.
Guangyang is not affiliated with any primary school, so there are no affiliation-based priority placements. The school does not offer an Integrated Programme; all students follow pathways leading to the O-Level or N-Level examinations. From Secondary 1, students benefit from Full Subject-Based Banding (FSBB), which allows them to take individual subjects at different levels according to their strengths rather than being placed in a fixed stream.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
The academic programme at Guangyang follows the national secondary curriculum. Core subjects include English Language, Elementary Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, the Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics), and Humanities (Social Studies combined with Geography, History, or Literature in English). Students may also take Higher Mother Tongue Languages, Computing, Principles of Accounts, Nutrition and Food Science, Design and Technology, Art, and Music. Subject combinations are structured to support both O-Level and N-Level preparation, with flexibility provided through Full Subject-Based Banding.
The STEM-Sustainability ALP integrates mathematics and science into project-based learning focused on environmental topics. The LLP complements academics by building communication, teamwork, and self-expression through drama and the performing arts. Bilingual programmes and leadership development modules add further depth to the school's offerings.
For students seeking additional support in Elementary or Additional Mathematics, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the O-Level syllabus, which some Guangyang families have found helpful for reinforcing classroom learning.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
Guangyang underwent PRIME upgrading in 2002 and merged with Braddell-Westlake Secondary School in 2006, resulting in improved infrastructure across the campus. The school's facilities include science laboratories, computer labs, a library, a multi-purpose sports hall, and performing arts studios.
Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are compulsory for students in Secondary 1 to 3, with more than 20 options available across four categories:
Sports and Games: Badminton, Basketball, Cross Country, Football, and Rockwall Climbing.
Performing Arts: Concert Band, Choir, Chinese Dance, Modern Dance, and English Drama.
Clubs and Societies: Robotics Club, Environment Club, Interact Club, Infocomm Club, and Media Resource Club.
Uniformed Groups: Girls' Brigade, National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC), Red Cross Youth, and National Cadet Corps (Land).
These activities support character development, teamwork, and leadership, and several CCA categories align with the school's DSA talent areas.
Student Life and School Culture
Guangyang fosters an inclusive school culture that values diversity and community. Events such as the 2025 Racial Harmony Day, themed "Our People, Our Tapestry," reflect the school's commitment to celebrating different cultural backgrounds. Class sizes are approximately 40 students, and pastoral care is provided through form teachers, a counselling team, and structured programmes addressing well-being and resilience.
The daily routine comprises morning assembly, timetabled lessons, and CCA sessions in the afternoon. Students are encouraged to participate actively in school life from Secondary 1, as early involvement in CCAs and peer networks supports both social integration and personal development.
Feedback from parents generally highlights the supportive teaching staff and a close-knit school environment. The school's focus on character education, grounded in its motto, aims to develop students who are principled, resilient, and ready to contribute positively beyond the classroom.

How DeepThink supports Guangyang Secondary School students
G1, G2, G3 Mathematics support for the national secondary pathway at Guangyang Secondary School. 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 Guangyang Secondary School 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 Guangyang Secondary School 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.
