There is no appeal as the offer is first made based on the PSLE Achievement Level. However, if a student did well for the subject and meets the eligible criteria (with reference to the Weighted Assessment and Semestral Assessment results respectively) at the end of Secondary 1 Semester 1 or 2, he / she may be given the offer to take up the subject(s) at more demanding level.

Eligibility for HMTL is based on MOE's letter of offer for the Secondary 1 students. Subsequently, our school may offer other students to take up HMTL based on his/her interest, aptitude and overall school-based performance.
