Appeal for transfer for serious medical conditions

If you assess that Canberra Secondary School is unable to accommodate your child’s physical health or special learning needs, you may appeal for a transfer. Appeals can be filed at Canberra Secondary School General Office on the next working day (22 December) after the posting results have been released.

Points to note about appealing for a transfer:

• Appeals will only be considered on an exceptional basis for students with:

  1. Serious medical conditions, such as chronic heart conditions or kidney problems.

  2. Severe physical impairments, such as those requiring permanent use of a wheelchair.

• All appeals must be accompanied by relevant supporting documents, such as medical reports and letters from doctors.

• Our staff at the General Office will help to file your appeal. The appeal results will be released in early January.

• If you intend to appeal for transfer, your child must still report to our school on the reporting day.

• Your child is required to attend school until his/her appeal for transfer is approved.

• Transfers are subjected to vacancies at the requested transfer school.

Note:

If you are seeking a transfer due to other reasons, you may approach the school of your choice directly.

It is important to keep the following in mind:

• Your child’s Achievement Level score should meet the school’s cut-off score of the posting year.

• Your child should meet the school’s admission criteria.

• The school must have available vacancies.
