Thanks Justsay, very happy to be part of RV family


Hi Daisyt, I have a v gd impression of RV students when I was expecting dd. That time, I was staying near RV sch, and it was always RV students who offered me a seat on the bus. So, 12 years ago, I've already decided to put dd there.(Really, it's true) Behaviour of RV students are always so prim and proper.
During the RV open house, I was even more impressed with the students' conduct and the prog offered, so that's why we are so so in love with RV

congrats, Hiaz , my son did not get into RV. anyway all the best to your son. guess my son determination is not as strong as yours. my only 12 months ago. yours 12 years ago. Bravo :celebrate:

Basica, call the school, appeal should start today.


Sall, welcome to the RV family!

thanks, daisyt. just called the school and the staff could not tell me the COP. But she was very helpful in telling me what to bring down to the school to appeal.

Hi can kindly let me know what we should bring down to school for appeal?

My bro got 252 and he didn't get into RV
He got into Catholic High.

If we want to appeal for RV tomorrow, must he also report to Catholic High also?

if i'm not wrong, you should bring down your report book, photocopy your p4/p5/p6 results.

oh and they'll ask you to fill in this appeal form which requires your choices (and it should put you in benefit if it's your first choice)

and... why you think you should be given a place or something. yeah.

this year's cop is 253, and your bro scored 252. i believe he'll have a place soon because in 2008, the cop was 254 and i scored 253. but i got in all the same, just that they informed me really late (dec 29/30) and i had to rush to buy my uniforms there are some people who were informed on the first day of school too. i had a classmate who wore his nanhua uniform and came in at 10am because he just received a call

and may i know what's his cca?

Fruitee:

Thanks for your reply!

My bro changed a few CCAs during the 6 yrs.
He was in choir p1-p2, sports club, maths olympiad club, science club. He also performed singing twice in Community Centre b4 cos he got v gd voice. And he also scored distinction in maths n science for those new south wales test..
I hope can use these 2 as selling point.

My dad is unsure if we shld appeal as median score is 259 and this means my bro is one of the lowest. Somemore his chinese is not v gd & RV focus alot on chinese, scared he can't catch up.

But i was thinking the more he shld go to RV as the chinese environment
can improve his chinese..

Such a dilemma.

is my chance slim if my score is 249+3???:( is being a choir member(pri school) an advantage if i appeal to rv as choral is rvhs’s niche area? i was told by my math teacher that my chance of getting into rv (by appealing)is not high… so i am very worried now

doublesmile10, my advice to you would be to just try. Even if ultimately you are not successful (touch wood!), you have tried and have no regrets. Put in all the points that you think will help you and Good Luck!
