Eric's Secondary 1 Posting Results

This morning, I received Eric’s Secondary 1 Posting Results – he was posted to Victoria Secondary, his second choice. Both Hubby and Eric were kind of cool about it: no smiles, excitement or enthusiasm, just a simple “OK”. Is this the calm before a storm?

Back in office, I surfed for information re appeals for admission to Dunman High, downloaded forms etc in readiness for submission should Eric decide to appeal. At 260, he was just at the cut-off for entry to Dunman High. His P6 Form Teacher Mrs Lee encouraged him to appeal, stating that he stands a very good chance. I assured him that Daddy and I will support him in whatever decision he makes. Rather than live with a “what if…”, I encouraged him to appeal if he wanted Dunman High so badly. Never mind if he is not successful, at least his conscience is clear as he had tried hence no “what ifs”.

Eric finally made the decision to appeal. The way he prepared for the appeal convinced me that he really meant business. I am proud that he had taken ownership of this matter, and I hope the appeal will be successful.
