Appeals and Transfers

Appeals to be admitted to TKSS

Information to note:

• School admissions are based on merit in the Secondary 1 Posting Exercise. Posting decisions are based on objective and transparent measures of academic merit i.e. PSLE scores. Appeals that take place after the S1 Posting Exercise must be aligned to these principles, in order to be fair to other admitted students.

• Primary 6 students who have applied to TKSS during MOE’s Secondary 1 Posting Exercise but are unsuccessful, may appeal to be considered for transfer to TKSS. These students appealing for admission to TK after the release of the Secondary 1 Posting result have to meet the school’s cut-off point (COP). The cut-off points for Tanjong Katong Secondary School this year are as follows:
  PG 3 : 12 and PG 2 : 22
  (*Note: Students admitted to a school through the DSA-Sec Exercise will not be allowed to transfer to another school after the release of the PSLE results. They are expected to honour the commitment to the posted DSA school for the duration of the programme admitted to.)

• For more information, please refer to MOE’s website for appeals and transfers.

Application period and procedure for appeal to TKSS:

• The application period is from the day of release of Secondary 1 Posting results (0900 hours) to 23 December, 1700 hours.

• For appeal to TK, please follow the steps below:

2. Complete all fields. Supporting documents are to be uploaded via the same link.

• Incomplete form and submission of supporting documents will not be considered for the appeal.
• Only successful applicants will be informed by the school.

What happens after I appeal to TK?

• All applicants will be put on the waiting list. The school’s decision will be made after the vacancies are ascertained following the release of the Secondary 1 posting results and deadline for online appeal application is over. However, based on past years’ experience, the number of places are limited.
• The appeal results will be released in early January. Only shortlisted applicants will be informed.
• Students should still continue to attend their posted secondary school until their transfer is approved.
• Students seeking transfers should continue to attend their posted secondary school until their transfer is approved.

Request to transfer to another school

• Application without supporting documents, incomplete form or late submission will not be processed.

• Students who wish to transfer to another school for reasons other than those above may approach the other school directly for a place.
