Appeal Secondary One Posting

[YJL]

My son was 5 point short based on last years COP. We appealed immediately on the 25th stressing on his particular sports ability.. he was accepted today.. bring in any testimonial as supporting document.. it helps

Hi, need your advise.
I thought appeal only starts when we know the outcome of the posting results when our choice is not selected?

There is no where written, that appeal can only be accepted after the postings. Of cos the school that you are appealing may ask you to come back after the posting. Reckon each school has its own unwritten rules. Think of ways to substantiate your appeal away from the crowd is key.

Each school has their own ways of dealing with appeals. Some may look at whether you put them as first choice, some don’t bother with that. I know of successful appeals where the school they successfully appealed into was not even on the list of 6 choices. Some schools just look at what you can offer the school, be it sports, performing arts etc. If you’re appealing based on a particular sports, be prepared that the school will hold you to your word and make you take that sport for all 4 years of secondary school.

Hello parents , im a primary 6 kid who failed to get in my dream school. The COP of the school is one point above of my aggregate score. Can someone tell me what do i have to prepare and do if i want to appeal to that school? :? Oh yah , by the way , if the school's main focus subject is for example , maths , does it help if i appeal when my maths got an A*?

Oh dear! My son also score 230 & applied for Nan Chiau as first choice.

Pray hard now.

Is that true you can only appeal for the first choice school in S1 form?

. 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:[/quote]


Can one be transfered to another school in sec 1? I heard that it is possible in sec 3?

Not true, the school will not know what choice you have made in the S1 form. Go and appeal (no harm if you have the time to run around different schools) but you need to prepare stufffs personal statement, achievements, CCA, etc (like job CV).
Good luck.
