Appeal Secondary One Posting

[kunikokatodesu]

bayleaves:

My daughter got 238 and was posted her second choice school - commonwealth sec. When I found out that COP for Crescent (her 1st choice) was 240, I was very tempted to appeal as she is a school netball player in her primary school and has a good chance of getting through. But my daughter strongly disagreed with us as she felt she'll be able to do better at commonwealth where there are only 5 express classes and the average COP is not far from hers. Moreover she rightly pointed out that at Commonwealth she'll be able to do triple science and double maths (a choice given to all their express students) and this opportunity might not come by in Crescent if she is at the bottom of cohort. Infact though she didn't qualify for HMT automatically, she was allowed to take HMT after sitting for their internal assessment on the registration day. So don't worry if your child did not get into their first choice school as every cloud as a silver lining.


Wishing all of you a happy new year.

Once i read the thing, i right away knew it was my friend varshah, because all the thing ya said is true about my friend! I am glad my friend got into commonwealth! Good luck varshah! you rock! i am jasmine chua here varshah(: :celebrate: :lol:

:?: need some advice please....

anyone knows if appeal to RVHS is still on waiting list from now to 2nd week of January, does it mean that the chance is probably very slim and not much hope ?
understand some students already received
the transfer letters....seems like hope is fading....
anyone can share some info on last year appeal cases whether anyone successful on the waiting list ?

did you use cca or just academic? if use cca have high chance! cos 2 marks what...

not much hope.....cos vacancies mostly by now already filled...
cca doesn't contirbute much.....going to give up

Just to share : if appeal at this stage (beginning of Sec 1) is not successful, don’t give up. Ask to be on the waiting list and call them now and then to check on the status of the waiting list; some schools do allow transfer at end of SA1 or even at end of Sec 1. Be persistent and be sincere and meanwhile work hard at the new school (that gives extra convincing point to back up the appeal). Don’t forget - some students will also be transferred out to their school of choice


Been there and done that!

We went down to the school but was informed that no more vacancies,
and if there is any, will be just one or two only.
waiting list of appeals are too many and chances are very very slim.


Heard that one student whose agg score 252 + 3(HCL) is also in the waiting list queue and not selected yet. So my gal's chance is definitely gone case!

Is it possible to apeal now ?

[verykiasu2010]

Please be reminded that school principal has the discretion to admit more than the stated cohort size, by adding a few more students who are deserving…as long as the principal can answer to MOE. Have seen classes of more than 42, 43 pupils each…overall cohort size is about 10 students more than number of classes x 40 class size

Yes, definitely. But, do call up the school. It's probably not called appeal, but waitlist. Same thing, different words. All the best!
