Appeal Secondary One Posting

[Snow Crystal]

fattyjanet:

Hi all, I would like to know if the appeal process outcome decided by the schools is based on first-come-first basis, ranking of the highest T-scores first or by the CCA or special talent one child can offer to that school?

Based on past few year's trend, generally the schools seem to go by PSLE score after PSLE posting results, and then look at exceptional CCA/ability. CCA not so critical at this stage becos should have been showcased at DSA stage. But do know of a few sec schs accepting by exceptional CCA performance after PSLE posting. Very selective. But by far see more of accepting via PSLE score.

But this year,we are all watching closely whether if and how limited the IP schools go about accepting transfer/appeal for those who already have secured DSA CO. This will have trickle down effect to most secondary schools. Eg a boy who gets NJC DSA CO gets accepted by transfer to RI on 21 Dec gives up his seat in NJC. the NJC vacancy is then filled by another boy who was S1 posted to say, a non IP top O level school ABC Sec. So ABC Sec in turn got one vacancy which is filled by another boy who was S1 posted to a neighborhood school. Now if the first action ie transfers at IP is limited then the merry go round action this year may not be as vibrant. We are all watching with bated breath.

Hi all. My daughter is p6 this year and she has an aggregate of 230. She had put ngee ann as her first choice due to it being an IT school. But because it is a band 6 school, she wants to go to Temasek instead. How do you appeal to a school? New at this. Do help out… If she gets put into Ngee ann, what to do??

Yes yes, hci n ri mentioned that there is a directive from moe this year that they r discouraging acceptance of Appeal from those already w dsa offer elsewhere unless there is a valid reason for the request - or something that has changed since accepting the dsa offer. I think this is only fair.


The whole idea about dsa is to give students w special capabilities to go to the school which they may not qualify under normal academic achievement/cop.

No need to appeal. Sure cannot get into Ngee Ann. COP 232 last yr. Anyway, they band 6 becos got affiliated students with lower psle score that pull results down overall. My girl graduated last yr. She got in Ngee Ann after appeal. I remember her psle score 231. She got into VJC this yr. my 2nd girl got 242 this yr. i put Ngee Ann first choice.

Not necessarily. I think by a difference of 2 points, the chance is still there since the score for this year is much lower, hence some of the cop for most schools this year are likely to be lower too. But of course if there are many who opted for the school have scores at or above the required cop, the chance may be lower. JMHO.
