Secondary Schools with Debating in Singapore (27), by Cut-off
27 secondary schools in Singapore offer Debating as a CCA. They are grouped below by their 2025 PG3 non-affiliated cut-off point: find the band around your child's score, then look at school type and area.
A cut-off is the score of the last student admitted, so a smaller number is harder to get in. At exactly the cut-off, ties go to citizenship and choice order, so PRs and international students should leave a margin.
