Each value is the cut-off, the score of the last student posted that year. The smaller second value is the affiliated intake. D, M or P means that last place also needed that Higher Chinese grade; * means the school still had vacancies at the printed score.

This school has no affiliated primary schools, so every place is open to everyone.
