Appeal Secondary One Posting

[VitoRelax]

skyhigh_18:

just to share my experienec.. my son did not do well last year, the sec sch we selected cut-off points went up 3 points. :!: so we appeal... the school respond 'they are full' vancancy will depend on whether anyone choose to leave the sch. This is what i have done

1) Ask MP to write appeal letter to the principle.
2) Write another personal appeal letter to sch.
3) Call and talk to the person in charge
4) Call MOE to check on what the sch said is correct or not. (Its confirm, the sch corhort is set by MOE, the sch cannot increase the class size)
But i heard IP program sch is different...not too sure abt that.

So we waited, end result..no one left the sch. so we have to settled for 2nd choice. Buy uniform, text etc last min. Told my son to work harder in sec 1. During sec 1 he scored top 10% of the whole cohort in tat sch and we successfully transfer him to another sec. That is another painful exercise. Luck sometimes have to play a part. :celebrate:

Congrats to you. Your DS hard work paid off !!

Yes, most schools i called say they only accept appeals from 23 dec to 28 dec. More painful days next week and after christmas…

But after we enrol at the school posted, will there be time to goto the other school to appeal ?

What is the procedure ? Just fill up forms or make appointment to see principal ?

Doubt principal would want to speak to us !

Hi, my DD scored 240 for P.S.L.E and has chosen crescent girl's sec. as first choice, followed by Yishun Town sec. and Nan Hua sec. Does anyone know how to appeal for secondary school as I was actually a little too ambitious to put Crescent girl's as first choice??? :? Thx.


And BTW,I have heard that we can appeal 2 sec schools too. Is this true??? Does anyone knows anything about it??? Thanks for ur help. I really appreciate it.

I am in same score as you for my DD. Cresnect will likely to go thro' as COP will fall. Called Cresent , they will accept appeal only after results out on 22nd. There is no form on website yet , so i plan to go to school on 22nd & fill up appeal form

Do we have to inform the school on 23rd that the child is transferring to another school? What kind of paperwork is involved? Thanks for advice

Check the sch website whether there is form to fill in. Attach it with testimonials, result slips, etc. A ref no. would be given for future correspondence.

I think have to inform the sch that you are appealing to another sch. So that this sch knows how many vacancies they have for others who want to appeal to this sch.

The appeal case is school prerogative, not even MOE will know about it (of course later MOE will be informed).

I was told that once your appeal case is accepted, the school ythat you appeal will give you a transfer letter for you to handle over to the school assigned to you originally.
