jedamum:You are so right, Jedamum! I wasted no time last week in contacting the school and was blessed to have had the appointment with the VP the next day! The Officer in charge of transfers was so helpful and kind. After listening to my explanation of our son's predicament, finding out more about him and evaluating copies of his academic results, the VP offered him a place with the school! You cant imagine how pleasantly surprised we were for him to be accepted! We were simply touched by the warmth and hospitality shown to us by the VP who even took the trouble to give us a tour of the entire school after the appointment!all the best then!Lavender33:Thanks Jedamum! Yes, i shall make haste then!
Hopefully, the Principal wont be too busy to meet me as its the 1st week of school! I took a look at the P1 admission stats for that school for his year and noticed that balloting was needed for even <1km...so guess its a \"fullhouse\" for P5...but i'm still hopeful.. :xedfingers:
DS started with the school this week and as at today, he is quite settled and has started training with the team, something he is so thrilled about!
This transfer episode simply affirms my belief that with valid reasons, a sense of urgency and diplomacy, schools are willing to listen and try to accept students into their fold!
Thanks again for your support and advice! God Bless!
