8. Frequently Asked Questions and Other Queries

Sec 1 Registration

(a) What happens if I do not have Parents Gateway?

Information will be placed on the school website. If you do have any queries, you may contact the General Office at 63656392.

(b) What is the duration of the MS Teams Session on 22 December 2025?

The duration of the MS Teams session is around 30 mins. If you have any concerns about attending the session, you may contact the General Office at 63656392.

Full Subject-Based Banding

(c) Can I appeal for my child to take subjects at a more demanding level?

There is no appeal as the offer is first made based on the PSLE Achievement Level. However, if a student does well for the subject and meets the eligibility criteria (with reference to their Weighted Assessments and/or End-of-Year Examination results) at the end of Secondary 1 Semester 1 or 2, he / she may be given an offer to take up the subject(s) at more demanding level.

Higher Mother Tongue Languages

(d) Can I appeal for my child to take Higher Mother Tongue Languages (HMTL)?

Eligibility for HMTL is based on MOE's letter of offer to the Secondary 1 students. Subsequently, our school may offer other students to take up HMTL based on his/her interest, aptitude, teacher’s assessment and overall school-based performance.

(e) What are the merits of taking HTML?

HMTL offers students the opportunities to learn a language at a more advanced level. It will develop students with the ability, aptitude and interest in MTL towards achieving higher levels of language proficiency and cultural knowledge.

(f) What should I do if my child declines the HMTL offer?

If your child does not wish to take up the HMTL offer, please purchase the regular G3 MTL textbook instead.

Tamil Lessons

(g) My child would like to take Tamil lessons. What are the arrangements for his / her Tamil lessons?

Evergreen Secondary School does not offer Tamil Language as a subject. The dedicated Tamil Language Centre for our students is Marsiling Secondary School. We will enrol our students taking Higher Tamil Language or Tamil Language at the various subject levels in Marsiling Secondary School. Students taking Tamil language will be allowed to leave school earlier to proceed to the Tamil Centre on the days of their lessons. Currently, Tamil lessons are held once a week during the school term.

Third Language

(h) My child would like to take a Third Language. Is it possible?

Third Language offers are given by MOE based on the students' PSLE results. Any appeal should be made directly to the MOE Language Centres.

Support for your Child

(i) My child has been having counselling in Primary School and would like to continue with counselling. How can I discuss the arrangements with the school?

Parents may contact the Form Teachers to request for counselling support, providing current areas of concerns, and the school counsellor will meet the child to assess their counselling needs.

(j) My child has special needs. How do I inform the school about it?

Parents may email Ms Joanna Lee (AYH/Student Well-Being) at lee_teck_miang@schools.gov.sg.

(k) My child has health issues. How do I inform the school about it?

Parents may email Mr James Ng (HOD/PE&CCA) at james_ng_aik_gian@schools.gov.sg or Ms Lydia Sng (SH/CCA&LLP) at lydia_sng_pei_en@schools.gov.sg.

Parents Support Group (PSG)

(l) How do I join the PSG?

You may register using the online form: https://go.gov.sg/joinevgpsg.

(m) How often does the PSG meet up?

The PSG meetings are held on a termly basis, as well as when needed to support or participate in school events

(n) How does joining the PSG enable parents to better support their children in secondary school?

You can attend PSG meetings where staff will share more about school programmes to help parents better understand the school, and where parents can explore ways to participate in and contribute to school activities. Through such active participation, parents not only gain a better understanding of secondary school life and how to support their child, but also receive support and insights from fellow parents on the same journey. There will also be invitations to workshops on parenting and providing support for students.
