G1 students, don't despair!
PSLE results was released yesterday and now it's time to check out the schools before you submit your S1 options.
If you are a parents whose child was posted to G1 stream, don't despair. Your child has already passed the exams and will soon embark on his/her next journey into secondary school life + teenage years.
Should your child be someone who prefers a hands-on approach to learning as compared to pure academics, do consider coming to Crest Secondary and checking out their vocational curriculum subjects.
How is Crest Secondary different?
1. They only take in G1 students (except those who gets AL 25 and chooses to join the school)
2. Smaller class size (20 students per class)
3. The teachers CHOSE to join the school voluntarily, so they are more caring and encouraging
4. They don't just teach from books, they apply real like situations into the learning process too
5. They have a strong student support team
6. Sec 3 students will go on a month long IEP (Industrial Experiential Program) to prepare them for the real world and yes, the students do get a salary for their hard work
7. Preparation of student's portfolios to prepare them for the next step in life
Do make time to come for the open house and interact with the school leaders, teachers, students. Hear from parents whose child is currently studying in the school and hear about their transformation.

If your child has been placed in the G1 stream, it’s natural to feel uncertain, but Crest Secondary's approach might be just what they need. This school emphasizes practical skills through vocational subjects like Culinary & Restaurant Operations, Mechanical Design & Automation, and even Mobile Web Applications. From my experience, students benefit greatly from smaller class sizes and teachers who are passionate about hands-on learning, making education more engaging and personalized. Moreover, Crest Secondary offers the Industrial Experiential Program (IEP) in Sec 3, giving students a month-long workplace experience where they earn a salary, preparing them for future employment. This practical exposure sets students up for success in vocational colleges or the workforce. For parents concerned about academic support, the school's strong student support team ensures students don’t feel left behind. Plus, the portfolio preparation helps students plan their next educational steps confidently. Also, if you’re considering vocational education routes like ITE or higher Nitec courses, it’s worth noting that vocational diplomas usually take around 2 to 3 years to obtain, providing targeted skills for specific industries. Financial assistance options for ITE students are also available, which can help relieve some concerns. Visiting Crest Secondary’s open house is highly recommended—talking directly with school leaders, teachers, current students, and parents can paint a clearer picture of the school environment and how it nurtures students' development beyond academics. Vocational schooling is a commendable path, and with schools like Crest offering dedicated programs, your child’s potential can be fully realized.
