  17. Release of Results • Results of discretionary places and central allocation are released at the same time on 10 July 2012 • Parents do not need to make enquiries to the schools

  18. Central Allocation CA If you signed the undertaking declaration of DSS schools, please also follow the procedure to join this allocation.

  19. Central Allocation (CA) • After the deduction of repeater and discretionary places, the remaining places in a secondary school are used for CA: • About 10% for unrestricted school choices (choose one to three schools from any school nets) • Remaining 90%for restricted school choices (choose a maximum of 30 schools in the school net to which a student belongs)

  20. Example on Calculation of S1 Places # While 2 repeater places will be reserved per class at S1 level, the maximum repetition rate at the whole school level should not exceed 5% of the total enrolment of the school

  21. School Nets • In line with district administration boundaries, the whole territory is divided into 18 school nets • The school net to which a student belongs is determined by the physical location of the primary school the student attends (except those who have applied for cross-net allocation)

  22. Demarcation of School Nets

  23. Choices within school net • To ensure all the nets have sufficient S1 places to meet the demand for CA, each school net comprises: • participating primary and secondary schools located in own district; and • secondary schools in other districts providing school places for the net (secondary schools and school places from other districts may vary from year to year )

  24. Choice of Schools Form (Sample) Part A - Unrestricted School Choices (Refer to the Handbook for Unrestricted School Choices, choose a maximum of 3 schools) Part B - Restricted School Choices (Refer to the Secondary School List of the student’s own net, choose a maximum of 30 schools) • Should complete and submit theSecondary One Choice of Schools Form to EDB in early May through the primary school irrespective of whether application for DP has been made • CAN repeat the same school choice in both Part A and Part B if it is in the student’s own net • DO NOT repeat the choices in the same part • DO NOT choose only a few favourite schools in Part B. This will not increase the chance of the student being allocated to the school 2010/2012 2010/2012 12345 B325698X F 6A SHEUNG CHUN PO LUI KEE PRIMARY SCHOOL

  26. CA Computerised Procedures • A random number is first assigned to each student by the computer. It is used to determine the order of allocation within the same allocation band. • The Unrestricted School Choices in Part A will be processed first, to be followed by the Restricted School Choices in Part B.

  27. Allocation Band ?Random Number ?

  28. Allocation Band 1. It is based on standardized pupils’ internal assessments result of the followings: P.5 - Final Exam. (June 2011) P.6 - 1st Term Exam.

Subject for assessment • All subjects (English, Maths, Chinese, G.S. , V.A. • and Music will be assessed) • Written paper will be set for Music • Scores for IT and PE will not be counted 3. Divided equally into 3 allocation bands with a view to determining the order of allocation.

  29. Random Number • Used to determine the order of allocation within the same allocation band. • If the demand for school places of a certain secondary school is more than the supply (actual number of seats of the school),the student possessing a smaller random number will be allocated a place first.

  30. Part A : Allocation Process (3 choices) • The computer will first process the school choices of students in Territory Band 1, • Then the choices of students in Territory Band 2, and • Finally the choices of Territory Band 3 students. • Only after the computer has finishedprocessing the choices of all the students in Part Awill the unallocated students’ choices in Part B be processed.

  31. Part B: Allocation Process (30 choices) • After all the students in Net Band 1 have been allocated school places, • the computer will follow the same procedure to allocate places to students in Net Band 2, and • finally allocate places to students in Net Band 3
