  • Note the three days off in lieu (9 February, 3 May and 27 December) so childcare arrangements are not caught short.

  • If your child sits the first SEC examinations in 2027, check the exam timetable when the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board publishes it. MOE also lists national exam dates on its national examinations dates page.

  • Bookmark MOE's academic calendar, which lists terms, holidays and national exam dates and can be added to your own calendar.
