Hi any one out there still waiting for appeal results?;-) can share with me your experience?;-) do you still buy uniform + textbooks even though chance of appeal is there or maybe even chances r low .


Some mummies told me dun buy cos who knows, appeal is not finalized and first 2 weeks there is no class

I feel, uniform is a must for the first few days. A sign of respect to the school eventhough do is appealing. Also, dc won't feel out of place.

Try holding back buying books till teacher starts teaching after orientation period is over. You could give your dc extra pocket money for books, in case some lessons start early.

Good luck.

My ds1, going to secondary 2 next year, needs tuition for his Science and English subjects. We live beside east side mrt station. Any outstanding tutors or centres to recommend?


Thanks.

My ds2 scored 253+3. 1st choice is Dhs but missed it. Went for the interview this morning and the good news was just delivered to us. Efficient.

Congrats to u and yr Ds2 !!!
Oh....that was indeed fast....
So their admin has improved.....

Frankly, no principal knows how many students are appealing and will be successful in transferring to another school. It has to be new seats been added or set aside for appeal cases by some schools, that starts the ball rolling and causes the ripple effect throughout. This movement or transfer process could last into the 2nd week of January.

With every transfer case, an opening elsewhere is also been created. So, there is nothing one could do but to sit out.

Something for the experts here to ponder:


Assuming 3 students have the same 1st choice for SAP school Dunman high. All 3 meet Dhs cop requirement of 256. However, with the following scores:

A gets 255+1, B gets 254+2, C gets 253+3.

Base on merit of T-score, which I think exclude bonus points, A should be given the priority, followed by B and then C. Without even looking into the decimal marks, A should be selected ahead of B, followed by C. Am I right?

If the above scenario is truth, let us go to scenario 2. Assuming their 1st choices are Dhs.

D gets 255+1, E gets 254+3.

Again, based solely on T-score, D is standing ahead of E. Assuming D gets the last seat in Dhs when his turn comes. However, when it is E's turn to choose. E has a higher score of 257 then D's 256, after adding bonus points. The system will drop D in favour of E?

Experts, please enlighten.

The system would most slightly choose E first before D because once they chose a SAP school the marks will automatically be added and that would be their T score instead of the previous marks before adding the bonus point I think.

However, I don't think the system takes bonus points into consideration initially. The queue is still based on scores without bonus points. D is in front of E, so last vacancy goes to D but E will ultimately squeeze D out.

Looks like many of these incidents do occur during the selection process.

My ds2 has been posted to TJC too. Please tell me more about the school, teachers and Principle.
