Hi guys. SST has not given out any info on SIE on their website yet. It’s already the 5th of November and all they have written on the SIE 2019 page of their site is “More information about the Supplementary Intake Excersise will be released soon” and this was posted way back in September.
Does this mean there won’t be sie for SST this year? -
Don’t you have to wait for PSLE results to be released first?
Upon release, then those WL will be converted (or not) into a confirmed seat. And then whatever remainder will be released via SIE.
So the School can’t possibly know right now, how many remaining seats are available for SIE. -

Hi morning Nethan,

25 October (Friday) 3pm, was the dateline to exercise DSA option.
today, more than 1 week had passed.
not sure how many Wait-lists are issued, this year (2019)
But,
in the event if the Total number of Wait-lists > (exceeded) or = (equal to) Total number of COs given up,
then, there won't be any SIE (Supplementary intake) this year.
All those inside the Wait-lists : are ranked internally, even if their Wait-list were to be converted into a CO.
If someone has given up a CO, the #1 (Wait-list) ranked ahead will get converted first, before #2 (Wait-list), so on and so forth, down the Wait-list, one by one
only on 21 Nov itself (PSLE released date, tentative), then they will know if their Wait-list was converted into CO, or not
much closer (nearer) towards the date 21 Nov,
SST will announce (confirm) on website whether or not still got SIE this year.
Today is 5 Nov, 21 Nov is ... 2 weeks, from today
my suggestion is, in the event this year happen no SIE,
can start flipping through that booklet titled, \"Choosing 2020 Secondary schools\", issued by your P6 class Form Teacher last week, can start to consider which are the 6 Secondary schools u have in mind to short-list, for S1 posting by MOE centralized computer database. By now, u ought to have some inkling or a rough idea, how yourself have fared (performed) in 2019 PSLE, per subject (English, Maths, Science, Mother-tongue, Higher Mother-tongue). -

But why haven't they confirmed it on their website? It says \"More Information about the Supplementary Intake Exercise will be released soon\". If my memory is correct, they released that on 21st or 22nd oct

Yes, this year behaved oddly (differently) from last year.
Last year, by this time, already announced for interested participants to come & join SIE.
This year,
either our school still processing Wait-lists or ... no vacancy left, ie. All 200 places have been snapped up like hot cake. Maybe a lot of people on Wait-lists, waiting to be converted ?
Because
This year is an exception year, in that MOE started implemented the online DSA portal, and waived DSA application fees, unlike in the past when it wasn't free and parents need to pay. So, this year could have attracted a lot more P6 DSA applicants, compared to past years
The only way to clarify, is to call up the school (Telephone : 6571-7200) to confirm, instead of wait indefinitely until 21 Nov (PSLE released broadcast date)

for 2020 Sec 1 students (born 2007)
keen to continue pursue Higher Chinese (HCL), especially if u have sat for HCL @PSLE on 2 October 2019, SST also offer HCL lessons. And esp. if you have the intention (desire) to join the Junior College path in Year 2024 , after sitting for your O-level 4 years later, in Year 2023.
Reason ?
Once you manage to clear Higher Chinese by end of Y2023 ( O level), when go up into JC (1) in Y2024, no need to take H1 Chinese lesson in the JC anymore. Can just focus upon your core GCE \"A\" level H2 subjects (Y2024 and Y2025). Otherwise, end up burdened with tight time management, with having to handle (juggle with / tackle) H1 Chinese, over and above your core H2 subjects
For this
at Sec 3, students need to clear O-level CL (Standard Chinese) paper, and the following year
at Sec 4, need to clear O-level HCL (Higher Chinese) paper
Then, when go up into JC (1), no need to take Chinese anymore.
==================
On the other hand, those targeting alternative Polytechnic route : no need to take HCL.
To enter Polytechnic, just clear (pass) Standard Chinese.
Eg. those targeting for
- Diploma in Biomedical Science
- Diploma in Biotechnology
- Diploma in Chemical Engineering
- Diploma in Veterinary Science
- Diploma in Applied Chemistry
- Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering
- etc.
===================
for those keen to pursue 3rd foreign language (Spanish / Japanese / French / German),
you will have to travel to either MOELC (Bishan) or MOELC (Newton), depending on which foreign language u are taking.
Eg
Spanish, is offered only at MOELC (Newton), but not at Bishan branch
whether one qualify to take 3rd foreign language or not from Sec 1 onwards, on 21 Nov PSLE results collection day, it will be written inside (indicated) your PSLE results slip. If your Tscore is around 252 and above, usually can qualify
This year, 2019 GCE O level (born 2003), if one is observant enough, found on the notice board hung inside SST school premises, listing down names of various students taking individual O level subjects, one can see the names of SST Sec 4 students who have persevered hard.
They still take GCE O level (in 3rd foreign language : Spanish / Japanese / French / German), over and above their heavy 8 subjects combination, at O level. Even though some of their fellow classmates (school-mates) had already dropped out, given up 3rd language by end of Sec 1 or Sec 2, these group of hardworking students still persist on. Determination and Perseverance and Never Give Up
他们 ... 坚 持 到 底, 永 不 放 弃 :salute:
https://www.moelc.moe.edu.sg/courses/
If take 3rd foreign language,
this will be your 9th subject enrolled, at GCE O-level major examination -

SST does [u ] Not [/u] provide any school bus service, for her own SST students. As such, you will need to \"Dong bang\" other school bus service instead, provided by other nearby Secondary schools.
