hi, I heard nygh cop is 262 which includes HCL, your dd not in via s1 posting?
My daughter scored 260 plus 2 for her psle and had been called for interview by nygh, although the results is not known yet.South African:
Given this year 24 Dec is on Sat and 26 Dec Mon is a public hol, I think the appeal outcome is going to be delayed.
Anyone who has appealed and gotten the outcome, can you please share school, COP and if successful? This will help those who have submitted appeal know their chances as well as manage their kids' expectations.
So far, this is a compilation from the forum and frens:
- RI, 261, successful
- NYGH, 262, called for interview, not known yet
- NUS High, 26x, successful
- NUS High 25x, called for interview, not known yet
- ACSI, 247, unsuccessful
Anyone has more to add on? Let's start the ball rolling..... -

It does not mean all the 262s who applied for NYGH during the S1 posting got into NYGH. In fact, up to now, I heard 2 cases of 259+3 not accepted in via S1 posting.

One DD with 255+1 and another DS with 253+3 rejected by DHS via S1 posting although DHS COP is 256. Both appealing and no news yet.

NYGH VP during her welcome speech on 22nd Dec to the sec ones says that "there is a long wait list of 262s appealing to NYGH"

I would still send and then see what I can hang around to kaypoh about for part of the morning. Chit-chat with other parents as well. Usually I would just go to the canteen and harbour a cup of kopi to do that - observe the surroundings/environment/the older boys, then leave .... but this time I probably can only stay for a very short time. Have to send my youngest one to school too, so have to go home shortly after 8am.
What I'm saying is if the school allows it, and caters for the parents, it's fine. Some schools do hold joint briefings on the first day of school where parents are invited to join in. That's fine. But some schools have briefings/orientation etc expressly for the students that begin the first day of school. What's the point of parents hanging around during orientation? To watch their kids mingle with other children? To check out the classrooms? To see if the kids are eating lunch properly? The kids are Sec 1 already and parents have to let go.
In any case, i wouldn't hang around for lunch/dinner/break and orientation groups(!!!) - that's a job for telephoto lens while hanging around the canteen. HAHA.
The greatest no-no is accompanying your child to JC or Poly, I'd think!!! Sec 1 - 1st day ok, lah. -

Aiyo :yikes: but yes usually there are many kids scoring same marks in PSLE. -

Haha! I see. I'm not the sort to do that. But there are parents who do that even way into term time.

long wait list? don't think so bah. May be those 259+3, 260+2, 261+1 appeal cases. If PSLE results came out in Nov and knowing the score was 262, definitely NYGS took these scorer in without an issue?
The 261 scorers already accepted by RGS. -
Appealed to ri. Have a CO to ACSI Though. Still no reply... Any DSA CO Appeals have received reply? Very very anxious... Fingers crossed . 267 score.
