PSLE cut-off point for St. Anthony's Canossian Secondary School

MOE publishes the PSLE score of the first and the last student posted into each school at each posting group. Below are St. Anthony's Canossian 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.

* 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 St. Anthony's Canossian Secondary School, not the whole of it.

School Overview

St. Anthony's Canossian Secondary School (SACSS) is a government-aided, autonomous Catholic girls' school located in Bedok. The school's origins trace back to 1879, when St. Anthony's Convent was founded by the Canossian Sisters to provide education for young girls. The present secondary school was formed in 1996 through the merger of St. Anthony's Convent Secondary and St. Stephen's Girls' School, and it attained autonomous status in 2002.

Guided by the Canossian values of charity, humility, and forgiveness, SACSS operates under the motto Via, Veritas, Vita (The Way, The Truth, The Life). The school's educational philosophy centres on developing "Canossians of Influence" — young women who lead with compassion and serve with humility. A distinctive aspect of SACSS is its niche in Performing Arts Education, which integrates creative development with academic learning. The school also runs an inclusive programme for students with moderate to profound hearing loss, using an Oral Approach to support these learners within a mainstream setting.

Admission Process

Admission to SACSS at Secondary 1 follows two main pathways: the PSLE posting exercise and Direct School Admission (DSA).

For the 2025 intake (based on 2024 PSLE results), the indicative cut-off points were as follows: affiliated students required Achievement Level scores of 10-22 (Posting Group 3), 21-25 (Posting Group 2), and 26-28 (Posting Group 1). Non-affiliated students required 10-14 (Posting Group 3), 21-25 (Posting Group 2), and 25-28 (Posting Group 1). These figures reflect the scores of the last admitted students in that cycle and may shift annually.

Students from affiliated primary schools — St. Anthony's Canossian Primary School and Canossa Catholic Primary School — receive priority consideration during the posting exercise.

Through DSA, students may apply based on demonstrated talent in areas such as Sports and Games (netball, badminton, and others), Visual, Literary, and Performing Arts (drama, dance, music), and Debate or Speech and Language. Applications are submitted via the MOE DSA-Sec Portal, typically opening in May for the following year's intake. Shortlisted candidates attend auditions, trials, or interviews.

SACSS offers Express and Normal (Academic) streams under the Full Subject-Based Banding (SBB) system, which allows students to take subjects at levels suited to their individual strengths. The school does not offer an Integrated Programme; students follow the standard O-Level track and may progress to junior colleges or polytechnics after graduation.

Curriculum and Academic Programme

SACSS follows the MOE curriculum framework with a broad range of subjects. Core offerings include English Language, Mathematics (Elementary and Additional), Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and combined options), and Humanities (Social Studies paired with Geography, History, or Literature). Elective subjects span Principles of Accounts, Nutrition and Food Science, Drama, Music, and Computer Applications. Under Full Subject-Based Banding, students can take individual subjects at different levels based on their aptitude.

The school's O-Level cohorts have maintained strong pass rates, particularly in Mathematics and the Sciences. SACSS has received recognition through awards such as the Goh Chok Tong NextGen Outstanding Student Leader Award and the Dr. Ong Chit Chung Trophy for service excellence.

Bilingual education is a priority, with structured support for Mother Tongue language proficiency. STEM learning is facilitated through dedicated science laboratories and computing electives. Leadership development is woven into the academic programme through project-based learning that reflects the school's emphasis on compassionate service.

For students seeking additional support in Mathematics, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the O-Level syllabuses, which some SACSS families have found helpful for reinforcing classroom learning.

Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities

The SACSS campus includes smart classrooms fitted with interactive technology, a well-stocked library, dedicated science and computer laboratories, a performing arts studio, and a sports complex with multi-purpose courts. The school features barrier-free accessibility throughout, supporting its inclusive education model for students with hearing loss.

Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) are a core part of student development at SACSS, with more than 20 options available across several categories:

Sports and Games: Badminton, Floorball, Handball, Netball, Taekwondo, Track and Field, and Tennis.

Visual and Performing Arts: Angklung/Kulintang Ensemble, Choir, Concert Band, English Drama, Guitar Ensemble, Indian Dance, and Modern Dance.

Clubs and Societies: Audio Visual Aid, Debating and Public Speaking, Film, Media Resource Library, and Home Economics.

Uniformed Groups: Girl Guides and National Civil Defence Cadet Corps (NCDCC).

These activities develop teamwork, discipline, creativity, and leadership skills. CCA involvement also supports DSA applications for students with strengths in the arts, sports, or community service.

Student Life and School Culture

SACSS operates on a single-session timetable, with mornings dedicated to academic lessons and assemblies, and afternoons reserved for CCAs and enrichment activities. Class sizes typically range from 35 to 40 students, and the school maintains a pastoral care structure that pairs students with teacher-mentors for guidance and support.

The school's Catholic identity shapes daily life, with optional morning Mass and regular values education sessions rooted in the Canossian tradition. Programmes promoting well-being and resilience are part of the broader character development framework aligned to MOE guidelines.

Inclusivity is a defining aspect of the school's culture. Dedicated Special Educational Needs Officers support students with hearing loss, ensuring they can participate fully in both academic and co-curricular life. The school also runs anti-bullying initiatives through its values education programme.

For students transitioning from primary school, SACSS provides an orientation programme and peer buddy systems to help them settle in. Access to school counsellors is available for students who need support managing their workload or adjusting to secondary school life.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers for parents

Which Math class suits a St. Anthony's Canossian 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 St. Anthony's Canossian 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.
