3. Information on Subject-Based Banding (SBB) and Higher Mother Tongue (HMT) Eligibility

Subject-Based Banding
- You will be informed via Parents Gateway on Friday, 20 Dec 2024 if your child is eligible to take a higher-level subject.
- Please respond with your acceptance or rejection by Wednesday, 24 Dec 2024, 12pm.
- If you have any questions, you may email our school’s SBB Coordinator, Mr. Andrew Seah, directly at seah_hui_shan_andrew@moe.edu.sg
Higher Mother Tongue
- Your child will be eligible to offer HMT if she meets the following criteria:
- Attain PSLE Score of 8 or better OR
- Attain PSLE Score of 9 to 14 inclusive; and achieving (i) AL1/AL2 in MTL or (ii) Distinction/Merit in HMTL.
- If your child is eligible to offer HMT, you will have received this notification along with the result slips. You will also be informed via Parents Gateway on Friday, 20 December 2025.
- Please note that HMT lessons will be offered in designated external Higher Mother Tongue Centres after school.
Offering MTL at Less Demanding Level (LDL)
- Students who experience difficulties in coping with the subject have the option to offer Mother Tongue Languages (MTL) at a less demanding level, based on their PSLE performance.

Indicative Level of Most Subjects at S1	PSLE AL for MTL	PSLE Foundation Grade	Option to Offer MTL at a Less Demanding Level
G3	AL 6	AL A	G2
G3	AL 7-8	AL B-C	G1 or G2
G2	AL 7-8	AL B-C	G1

Students who meet the above PSLE MTL grade criteria may choose to offer MTL at a less demanding level if they prefer. However, we recommend that these students initially pursue MTL at the highest level (aligned with their posting group) and try the subject for at least one year before deciding to switch to a less demanding level. A Parents Gateway (PG) notification with additional details will be sent to the parents of eligible students.
