What are some of the big decisions that you feel you'll be making in your future? Choosing which school to go to, and after that...? Preparing for National Services, for a new career...? You need to make the right choices based on informed decisions. Even deciding to learn to drive is a decision that will affect your future.

If you have completed your PSLE already, choosing a secondary school is one decision you and your parents will have to make together. There are a few important things to consider when you choose a school.

• Would I prefer to go to an all boys or girls or a co-ed school?
• Am I prepared to travel to go to a school that is a distance from my home?
• Am I aware of the subjects I have to take during secondary school?
• What do I know or need to know about the schools I'm interested in attending?

Well, you are finally finished and through your GCE 'O' Levels. Now you have to decide where to go from here. While your results do play a major part in determining your entry eligibility, it is very important to make wise decisions based on informed choices.

This is NOT something that you decide in haste. Take your time - visit the school, find out all about the different options that exist. Have a firm understanding of your own interests and inclination before making any decision about your future.
