      If secondary school posting results is out on 20 Dec 2019, when does the appeal period start, assuming student met the cop? Is it start on 20 or 23 Dec 2019? How long is the window period for appeal last year? Thanks.
      Period of appeal, for Secondary 1 admission intake

      is indicated inside the appeal form or website

      Criteria, for Appeal -
      Candidates must first meet the Secondary school's Cut-off point, first

      1)

      sample
      Nanyang Girls High Appeal form

      last year (2018) batch

      batch window period for Appeal,
      start 19 December (9 am), to 20 December (5 pm)

      https://www.nygh.edu.sg/events/ay2019-sec-1-posting


      2)
      sample
      RGS appeal period

      start (begin) from

      S1 posting date (2 pm)

      To

      Year 1 Reporting date (4.30 pm)

      E.g.

      https://www.rgs.edu.sg/admissions/admission-to-rgs/rgs-post-psle-supplementary-intake-exercise-for-2020-secondary-one-appeal-for-school-transfer

      But, if you have accepted DSA offer, or Wait-list successfully converted into a CO, MOE said not allowed to appeal

        Hi,
        would like to enquire whether any one of you are aware of any other scholarship or bursary (besides the MOE one) that I can apply for?
        I have 3 school going children and household income is not very high.

        Thank you
        There will definitely be all forms of bursaries available. Different school hv different support available but the government has came out to say that all deserving children can afford the high level of school fees of the independent schools. I am confident of it cause my child's mthly fees is $300+ but he receives these support and I paid like less than $10/mth.

          For Appeal into Sec 1 intake - some Secodary schools like Catholic High expect P6 students to write up, 300 words, reasons behind why want to Appeal

            Thank you for the info. Looks like appeal period starts on posting date usually, and not reporting date, based on last year’s timeline. So those going overseas perhaps should touch down latest by 19 Dec 2019 this year as earliest date of school posting is 20 Dec 2019.

            Was discussing school choices with friends yesterday and they were worried as kids are of 230 to 250 range, depending on which way it swings. So the issue came up what if suddenly heng heng gets 256 and maybe can try appeal to cedar and DHS now and hence wondering when is the appeal period usually…

              You can only appeal to schools whose COP you have met.
              Hence, if they heng heng gets 256, they can put them as first choice leh.

                  Yeah not too bad for those staying in the east actually. If it swings the other way between 230 to 245, still have:

                  Temasek Sec
                  Ngee Ann Sec
                  Tkgs
                  TKss
                  Ahs
                  cchm
                  Katong convent
                  And etc choices…

                  Fingers crossed can heng heng strike 256 now so that can have more choices…

                    Hi bluepencil, may I know what do you mean by \"post PSLE -bridging \"programme? Is it PSLE to Sec level Chinese?
                    So far, I have not heard of such programs, unless your kid has CL tuition and has the opportunity to speak the langauge.

                    Hi !
                    Like my DD says a friend went for a chinese tuition after psle for preparing for secondary sch chinese. I don't know what is taught but I guess some continuing chinese is good because at home our chinese is substandard so... and also language is something you have to keep going on, not like math for eg, topic by topic



                    Hi bluepencil, I think if you are worried about your child's proficiency in CL, then maybe can send your child to some Chinese reading programmes organized by the community centres or some chinese enrichment classes like wushu or callligraphy etc.. ? Your kid will have the chance to speak the langauge while also having fun then just keep wiritng and reading chinese which he/she might it stressful. Let your child have a break too. :hugs:[/quote]Hi sharesharelah
                    I totally agree. I should look out for some chinese calligraphy lessons!
