2011 PSLE - Appeal for Sec School

[Edureach]

softcoach:

Hi


May I seek KS parent's advice as to whether my DD (249+2) will still stand a good chance to get into Crescent Girls if she puts it as her 3rd choice?

Also, would her appeal to RV / SCGS be very slim?

Choice
1. River Valley (SAP) – 253
2. Singapore Chinese Girls -250
3. Crescent Girls – 243
4. Nan Hua (SAP) – 243
5. Bukit Panjang Govt – 243
6. Commonwealth -237


Thanks!

Yr chance of a successful appeal in SCGS is much higher than RV. U shld get in to Crescent Girls.

I think she stands a good chance of getting into Crescent with S1 posting as her score is 6 points higher than their 2010 COP.

Appeal to RV might be slim based on 2010 COP. Again depending on the final COP of RV this year, it may be different. SCGS may be more likely, again provided COP has not increased.

Best to call the school you want to appeal to and ask for procedures. I have called number of schools and most are very forthcoming with information.


One principal from school in the west, enlightened me and even changed my mind about appeal.

The school has to be first choice- as many other parents have already mentioned. Shows 'commitment' and higher chances of successful appeal. Transfer after appeal is only possible if students posted there, request transfer out. Depending on school procedures, appeals are considered on merit, CCAs and even interviews.

My ideal school for dd has only 80 places and she is about 12 points off last year COP. While I was initially serious about appealing, after talking to dd and mulling over the past few days, I have to accept reality that the chances of getting are very slim. So while the 'ideal' schools are top choices, we are now prepared to accept the 4th choice or below which is closer to aggregate score.

I have decided not to pursue appeal as I do not want the period after posting to be unsettling for dd. We just want to move on and focus on working much harder wherever she goes.

In many ways, this is early lesson for dd- not to take things for granted, Hard work and results do matter in getting what you want. Salvos have already been fired when she now fully realizes that being posted to N(A) is depriving her of many opportunities.

Hi sssdarlings

Fully agreed on what you had written.

Your dd should be able to get into Crescent. I don't see the COP for SCGS rising this year, so there's a chance that she will be able to get in on appeal, provided she has something to offer the school by way of strong leadership, CCA or academic abilities in a particular subject etc.

Try calling the school or better still, if able, visit the school to talk to principal or HOD. I have been calling up schools on Friday and talking to KPs has helped clarify concerns and give me a better idea of chances for appeal.

RI seems to be the one most prepared for appeal cases with proper website and online forms. But there is a fee of $20.

Maybe it’s becos they got the most appeals every year.
