Need some help on clearing uncertainty. DC got A for Chinese and Merit for HMTL. However, was not offered the option to offer HMTL in the S1 option form cos not within top 30%. I was told that school has the flexibility to approve the request of opting in for HMTL? How do we do this? Do we inform the school on registration day?
Yes. On 22 Dec, the sec sch will typically hold a briefing for students & parents (may not be grouped together). You will be told where to pick up the HMTL application forms (usu at GO).
Thanks for reply. So even though my dc''s S1 option slip did not indicate that dc cam offer HMTL, we can still do so? -
May i know whether it is bad to not fill in all 6 choices? Dd doesn’t have 6 choices in mind, but rather only 3. She picked out another 3 to fill in, but she doesn’t have a strong passion for that 3, unlike the first 3. We are pretty sure we can get into anderson (her aggregrate score is 250, anderson cop 245 last year), so i adviced her to leave the last three blank. Was this the wrong advice? Are there any cons abt this?

The only con is if she doesn't get any of her first 3 choices. Then she will have to take whatever MOE gives her. -

The rest of the extra choices will be just “extra safety nets”.. normally people simply fill them with schools near where they live. After all, we cannot be 100% sure what the result will be until it is announced. -

it's always safer to fill in all 6 options...as secondary school placement is across whole of singapore, you can never be sure.'

Well, I suppose if the child scored a 285 (or at least a 270), it is already a guarantee that he or she would be getting into her first choice school...

Sorry parents, can anyone advice me if my child was not offered HTML in S1 option form, we still can opt for it at registration day? Or does it mean that if it is not on the option form, we cannot be offered at all?
