Thanks vlim. Do they consider PSLE score during the appeal process?

I think most likely yes.. From the sucessful appeal cases tt reported here so far .. They are same cop of the school just maybe short by a few decimal pt... Like your case ..

Thanks. Hope DS gets into his favorite school. Keeping the fingers crossed.

Hi, any one know how does NJC process the appeal cases? any interview required? Any idea how many appeal cases did NJC receive?


Thanks so much for sharing.

[quote=\"sunj1252\"]HI, my son registered RI, they will have a camp. A question: will they wash their dirty clothes everyday? Or they will keep the dirty clothes of those days in the bag until coming back home for washing.

Don't think they will be washing their clothes. They are required to bring enough clothes for 3 days. Also, they are not told to bring washing powder. They also need to bring plastic bags to store their dirty clothes.

They are told to bring 3 set of pri sch Pe attire. If only got one set how? Can wear outing t shirt and shorts?[/quote]Haha, I also have the same problem. I intend to let my ds bring 1 set of primary school and 2 sets of RI PE attire. He will be wearing 1 set so need to bring 1 more set. Maybe just any white T-shirt will do or can bring the black Team Raffles polo.

Nothing unfair. As independent school, they have 100% discretion on admission. Even if they want to admit someone with t-score 50, they could, as long as they justify their discretion. Or they could also go for 100% based on DSA

We all know they have absolute discretion over their admission but doing things this way means that those who were just decimal places away have to expend time, money and energy to appeal for the places which could have been given to them anyway. Willing buyer willing seller I suppose.

And I don't think they can admit someone with a tscore of 50. Don't think IP schools offer NA or NT courses.

Keep the dirty clothes for three days, what's the teribble smell? :rotflmao:
Throw away those primary uniforms - I understand now why RI asks to bring the primary school PE clothes for the camp.

Keep those dirty clothes for three days. The old primary school clothes maybe throw away later, but RI new PE attire has to be kept.

DS counted today the no of names on ACSI list on eligibility for HMT is 240.

So does that means 240 kids have a t score of more than 250 ?

Ya true, but cannot help it lah. I only got one set of pri school PE attire. The new RI T-shirt gets worn out very quickly on washing just like the JC students'. The quality is not too good. The previous T shirt is better.

No, HMT is offered to the top 1/3 cohort or something like that
