Appeal Secondary One Posting

[pinky88]

hesiew:

Agree with you, but with most schools COP dropping by ~3pts, I believe some parents/kids who think they can't get in a school at 1st now realise they may stand a chance. Anyone share same emotions??

Yes, same here. MY DS t-score just meet the last yr COP of HCI (259) & we thought no chance & also worry about IP. However, after learning more about IP, I regretted not choosing an IP school for my DS. That's why I appeal to HCI last week even before the posting result is out. When I called the staff at HCI, she said chances are slim if we did not put them as any of our choices but after hearing my DS t-score, she immediately told me I should try to appeal. From there, I predicted my DS t-score meet the HCI COP this yr. So I quickly rush to HCI to appeal. Well, as parents, we usually make some mistakes in our first chid's education route cos' no experience mah. I will definitely not repeat this mistake on my DD two yrs later. High price to pay if I don't get into the 2 appeals.

That was what I thought but when I rang them this morning, the staff in DHS told me that is not the case. She even encourage me to appeal for my DS. Anyway, it is stated in the appeal application that all appeal candidates are ranked by merit according to their PSLE score.

I see, perhaps there are some changes then, but for the good. :celebrate:
So put aside all your reservations and good luck to all of you

Thks, really need luck this time.

Hello parents , im a primary 6 kid who failed to get in my dream school. The COP of the school is one point above of my aggregate score. Can someone tell me what do i have to prepare and do if i want to appeal to that school? :? Oh yah , by the way , if the school's main focus subject is for example , maths , does it help if i appeal when my maths got an A*?

Certainly, it does.
What is your Aggregate and the school you're trying for?
PS: me too, but I didn't put RI as my choices. By 2 points. Boarderline to HCI.

Sure it does, and if you represent your primary school in SMOPS, even better still.
