Beyond PSLE:
Navigating Secondary 1
Complimentary Seminar Limited to First 40 Registrations
Entering Secondary 1 marks a decisive shift in academic expectations, learning pace and cognitive demands. For many families, the transition can feel uncertain.
Secondary-level assessments look familiar on the surface, but the thinking required is far more rigorous, and many students only realise this after their first term results. Even strong P6 students are often surprised by how much more independence, precision and depth are expected of them from the very first term.
This complimentary seminar offers a focused, insider’s perspective that helps you understand the expectations before the learning curve hits — so your child starts strong, not overwhelmed.
Each registration admits up to 2 guests.

What You'll Uncover at the Seminar
Our academic team will be sharing insights on key academic shifts that shape confidence and performance in the first term of Secondary 1 and beyond. Join us at this complimentary seminar to get a clear view of how you can help your child adapt faster and build the momentum they need.
The Grading Shift That Misleads Many Parents
With A1 starting at >75%, Sec 1 grades look easier on paper — yet the curriculum becomes deeper, faster and more rigorous. We’ll unpack how this shift affects expectations and preparation.
The Strategies That Stop Working After Primary 6
Primary 6 methods like memorising question types or using templates lose effectiveness quickly. Secondary 1 assessments demand reasoning, justification, inference, data interpretation and applied thinking from day one.
The Real Jump in Subject Complexity
Across English, Maths and Science, students face more integration, higher-order tasks and new data-driven components. Find out how each subject evolves from Primary 6, and why even high-achieving students feel the sudden increase in cognitive load.
Why Even Strong Primary 6 Students See a Term 1 Dip
Many AL1–3 students experience a performance dip in the first 6 to 8 weeks. We’ll reveal the key pressure points — from unfamiliar question formats to deeper conceptual demands — and how to help your child stay confident through this adjustment.
