25hourmaid:
First of all, I must say I am no expert in the PSLE selection of schools, merely sharing what I have learnt from my own personal experience with my two boys but between the selection of schools and appeal, I would say I am more well-informed about schools than appeal cases.
Sorry 25hourmaid, I have a question about the appeal, what is the procedure to conduct it? Like say, we must put that school on 1st choice, and we need to inform the school in advance before the posting day...? I can't find any detailed information for it... And the understanding to it which we are talking about here is actually quite different from the statement on the booklet, which is more on the cause of disability so have to appeal.georgechen99:

Haha, that is very practical of you. :love: If your son has nothing to offer to them for appeal, then make sure you are happy with second choice, that's what I would advise. Good luck. :celebrate:
Speaking for myself, I would exercise my choices wisely and realistically without putting much hope for appeal should my choice be not available. Best option is to exercise the selection with care, making sure that the choices are realistic and making sure that my 2nd or 3rd choices are actually schools which I really don't mind my child getting into in the event that the first choice is not available. I won't put an unrealistic school as my first choice if my child's score is too far off from the COP of that school concerned, with the hope of making an appeal after the Posting results are released.
I would say parents nowadays are already having it much easier than my time. We have 6 choices to choose from unlike the 2 miserable choices my parents had when I did my PSLE eons ago. With the 6 choices, if they are exercised properly and realistically, I don't see why a child should not get into the school of his/her choice, provided of course, the 6 choices were made with care and consideration. So far, I have yet to come across anyone whose child did not get into any one of the 6 choices. But if a parent were to make unrealistic choices for all the 6 schools, then you can't blame anyone if your child did not get into any of his/her 6 choice schools, right?
So all I can say is that every school has their own appeal procedure and time frame etc. Best is to call up the school of your choice to make enquiries, there is \"no one rule fits all kind of thing\" where appeal is concerned. All I know is that most schools would make their appeal forms available either from their website or hardcopy from their General Office after the Posting result is out on 22 December.
Generally people appeal if they are just one or two points off their dream school's COP or if they think that their child has something to offer to the dream school, for eg, a CCA with stunning achievements which happen to be the dream school's niche CCA etc, but that said, if that is the case, generally the child would have already applied for DSA and would already have been accepted there.
You made a very valid point about appeal for the schools with disabled facilities. If I am not wrong, there is already a list of schools which are disabled friendly so if I were those parents with a disabled child, I would make sure that a school with such a facility is among one of my choices unless of course, the child is a top score but is disabled, then I would make enquiries with my dream school prior to making my choices about their provision for the disabled etc.[/quote]I agree choose wisely parents. When you appeal, you basically have to show why the school has to take your child or rather what does your child have to offer to the school. The school has the right to refuse. So unless you can show the school that your child is say for example a very good sailor and will win medals for them, then you child is in. Otherwise, go try elsewhere. That is really putting it very bluntly. -

Well said! :celebrate: Yes, the truth hurts, but do not think appeal is such an easy process, unless like what we have been saying so far that your child really has something to offer to the school that you are appealing to. Hope all parents here make use of your 6 choices wisely. You have one more day to exercise your choices wisely, make best use of it. :celebrate: -

In the unlikely event that you can't get your first choise, Cedar seems more suitable for you in terms of distance and value add.hello, i got 4 a* and 265. living in the east.

You are wasting Choice no 2. Firstly he should get in to HCI - no problem. Secondly if he doesn't get in to HCI coz it's full, RI would also be full. So you are actually wasting Choice 2. You have to decide as Choice No 1 either HCI or RI.My son got 261 but he did not take Higher Chinese though he got A* in Chinese. What is his chances to get to Hwa Chong?

You should be able to get to RGS. But your second choice should be Cedar and not Crescent. What about Dunman High as second choice?
