Appeal for transfer for serious medical conditions
Appeal for a transfer at Canberra Secondary School's General Office if your child has serious medical conditions or severe physical needs that the school cannot support.
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:
Serious medical conditions, such as chronic heart conditions or kidney problems.
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.
