Third Language
Students who have applied for a Third Language will be notified of their application outcomes via Parents Gateway.

The MOE Art Elective Programme (AEP) and Music Elective Programme (MEP) are offered at selected secondary schools and centres for students with strong aptitude and passion in these areas, regardless of their Posting Group. 

As Bedok View is not an AEP/MEP centre, interested students may apply to join the centre-based AEP/MEP as external students. 

An information sheet with details on these programmes will be shared via Parents Gateway. Art and Music teachers will also brief students during lessons.

Students who wish to apply should inform their subject teachers. 

Application window: 2 – 15 January 2026

To apply for the MOE FAS for your child/ward, please visit MOE’s website and apply online.

Deadline: Friday, 26 December 2025

If your child’s primary school has already approved the 2026 MOE FAS application, please forward a copy of the approval letter to us.

Please wait for the FAS approval letter from Bedok View Secondary School before purchasing any books or uniform.

Families who proceed with purchases before receiving the approval letter will not be eligible for reimbursement.

For transfer to another school (due to medical reasons)

If you feel that Bedok View Secondary School is unable to meet your child’s physical or health needs, you may submit a transfer appeal, in person at Bedok View Secondary School. Appeals must be submitted by 12pm on 22 December 2025.  Appeals are considered only in exceptional cases, such as: 

• Serious medical conditions (e.g. chronic heart or kidney problems)

• Severe physical impairments (e.g. requiring a wheelchair)

Please bring along the supporting documents (e.g. medical reports, doctor’s letters) for the transfer appeal.

School staff will assist you with the process. Appeal outcomes will be released by early January.
Students should continue attending their posted school while waiting for the results.

More information can be found at MOE’s website.

For transfer to another school (due to non-medical reasons)

If you wish to appeal for a transfer due to non-medical reasons, please note:

·       Appeals should be submitted directly to your preferred school.

·       Your child must meet the school’s cut-off point (COP) and admission criteria.

·       Admission is subject to available vacancies.

·       Schools manage their own appeals and may request additional documents.

·       Appeal outcomes are usually available from mid-January.

Changing schools can disrupt your child’s learning. We encourage parents to allow their child to settle into the posted school to ease their adjustment to secondary school life.
