Please bring along the MOE FAS approval email and the school smart card (ez-link card) for verification and registration of the school meals subsidy.
2. All students applying for FAS must submit the MOE FAS application online via the Parents Gateway app under Services, or by clicking here, regardless of which FAS scheme they are applying for. Students who do not qualify for MOE FAS will be considered for School-Based FAS (SBFAS).
3. Students who are applying for FAS should not purchase textbooks or uniforms. There will be no reimbursement for any items bought before FAS approval. Once the application is approved by MOE, the school will receive the results the following Thursday.
