1.3 If the HO concerned suspects that the school OC Unit gives him / her an unjustified report, he / she may appeal to the panel before the panel meets for the final decision.

1.4 For those HOs who are not attached to any school units or whose Confidential Reports are not furnished, they will be given a score, 40% of the highest score for this part.

2. Peer Appraisal

2.1 The maximum points awarded for this part is 60.
2.2 All HOs will be given a piece of Peer Appraisal Form at the end of Nov.
2.3 The Peer Appraisal form will consist of the names of all the current HOs in the Unit.
2.4 Members shall appraise their fellow HOs by ranking the top 3 HOs of their choice.
2.5 Only current HOs are eligible for appraisal.
2.6 The points will be given as follows:-
    a)    Ranking of 1  = 60
           Ranking of 2 = 50
           Ranking of 3 = 40
    b)    No ranking  = 20
2.7 The computation is as the following example:-
      HO Quek is from the 18th batch and there are 10 HOs altogether in the Unit; 3 out of 10 had given him a ranking of 1, 3 gave him a ranking of 2 and 1 gave him a ranking of 3, 2 did not rank him. Thus HO Quek had accumulated a total of:
       3 x 60 = 180
    + 3 x 50 = 150
    + 1 x 40 =   40
    + 2 x 20 =   40
                     410

        HO Quek's score for this part would be the total score divied by the total number of HOs in the Unit who participated in the Peer Appraisal Exercise.
        Result for HO Quek    = 410 / 10
                                           = 41 (out of the possible 60)
2.8 No self-appraisal is allowed.

3.4 Points awarded for participating in NUS based activities are as follows:

                       below 25 hours = 1 pt
      b) Parades/Others : 80 or more hours = 20 pts
                                    60 -79 hours  = 15 pts
                                    40 - 59 hours  = 10 pts

                         below 25 hours = 1 pt
      b) Other courses:  20 or more hours = 10 pts
