Prepare a portfolio of your certificates, awards and any other achievements you may have - academic and CCA etc. Anything that will make you look attractive to the school. Be prepared to answer questions on how you can contribute to the school and why they should choose you over someone else with the same T-score. At this juncture, the school has full discretion over who to accept so you have to sell yourself.

Hi guys,


I scored an aggregate of 233 this year. I put Nan Chiau High School as my first choice, in great expectations of getting in, yet I got kicked out. I thought it's going to be easy to enter NCHS cos' it's cut off point is only a mark more than mine. I was then posted to my third choice, Dunman Secondary School.

My mum wants me to get into NCHS so she went on to lodge an official complaint. NCHS told my mum that they want 240+ to be admitted this year, in order to increase their COP.

My mum went on for a risk to appeal for NCHS from Dunman Sec, what is going to be the percentage of me getting in? :slapshead:

Hi Nowaygirl
I do not know what's the chance for appeal, but just wanted to highlight that whether you are appealing to other schools, do bear in mind that you have to report to your posted school (Dunman) tomorrow to register. If appeal is successful, then you proceed to transfer out from your posted school.

One of my students appealed and was only told that she was successful while attending the orientation camp. She withdrew from the camp and went to her appeal school. My advice is don’t buy till the last minute, i.e. on the first day of school, if possible. For uniform, there’s no choice cos students are expected to wear them on the first day. I sugguest you get the name of the uniform supplier and if you are not successful in your appeal, you can get the uniforms directly from the supplier. Most schools do not start lessons proper until the 2nd week as the first week is for orientation and there won’t be any lessons; timetable depends on individual schools. From what I knew, Broadrick has only 3 days of orientation while Temasek and Bedok View, for 1st week. VS and some other schools like Bedok View and Bedok Green go for adventure camp outside school compound. This practice may change but not to worry cos when you report tomorrow the school will inform you through the kit. Also, teachers are lenient if students do not have textbooks in the first 2 weeks. Book shops are opened during the first 2 weeks or so and most can also be purchased from Popular. All the best for tomorrow.
