Just Mama wrote:Yes, most schools i called say they only accept appeals from 23 dec to 28 dec. More painful days next week and after christmas....

But after we enrol at the school posted, will there be time to goto the other school to appeal ?

What is the procedure ? Just fill up forms or make appointment to see principal ?

Doubt principal would want to speak to us !

Hi, my DD scored 240 for P.S.L.E and has chosen crescent girl's sec. as first choice, followed by Yishun Town sec. and Nan Hua sec. Does anyone know how to appeal for secondary school as I was actually a little too ambitious to put Crescent girl's as first choice??? Thx.

And BTW,I have heard that we can appeal 2 sec schools too. Is this true??? Does anyone knows anything about it??? Thanks for ur help. I really appreciate it.

I am in same score as you for my DD. Cresnect will likely to go thro' as COP will fall. Called Cresent , they will accept appeal only after results out on 22nd. There is no form on website yet , so i plan to go to school on 22nd & fill up appeal form

Do we have to inform the school on 23rd that the child is transferring to another school? What kind of paperwork is involved? Thanks for advice

Does anyone know how to appeal for secondary school

Check the sch website whether there is form to fill in. Attach it with testimonials, result slips, etc. A ref no. would be given for future correspondence.

Yes, I checked with MOE, can.

Do we have to inform the school on 23rd that the child is transferring to another school?

I think have to inform the sch that you are appealing to another sch. So that this sch knows how many vacancies they have for others who want to appeal to this sch.

No. I don't think so. The appeal case is school prerogative, not even MOE will know about it (of course later MOE will be informed).

I was told that once your appeal case is accepted, the school ythat you appeal will give you a transfer letter for you to handle over to the school assigned to you originally.

Thanks caroline3sg and DadOfGirl for providing me the useful information. I really appreciate it !
