Milzmam Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 No fee remission for us unfortunately so unless I have a lottery win looks like no year 10 start at Hammond for my dd.

Peanut68 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I’m so sorry to hear of the not this time disappointments....heartfelt hugs to DC’s & parents...especially as this year all seems to have been a much longer time to receicevdecisions from schools & so much stress with not having current schooling & routines in place. I think all should take huge amounts of praise for getting so far & draw strength of character having gone through such a rigorous & testing process....let’s face it, the majority of our youngsters do not really go through this sort of think untilt university applications! So good luck in your continued journeys....and I wish all keep finding joy in dance! 💜 Edited June 11, 2020 by Peanut68 Typos 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellera Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Our email had come through at 5.15 pm, I only found it an hour ago. No fee remission here either. I am surprised to be feeling quite gutted, even though this was what I expected. Congratulations to those who have been offered it, sorry for everyone who has not been. This has certainly been an emotional roller coaster for all of us. We were so excited when dd had sucessful first audition, as did not think she had much hope. But had no idea of what would follow. Dd is putting on very brave face, despite the fact she really does not want to go to our local high school. We have had a chat about her deciding where she wants to take things next year-I have said we will support her if she wants to audition again next year. But I will be going in much wiser and better prepared if we try again! Thanks to everyone for help and support on this forum-it has made it easier to understand the whole process and helped to know others are going through the same pain. The dance world is clearly quite brutal, only option to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and keep on trying. If keep on trying does not work my dd may just have to be an astronomer, which is her second career choice! Good luck to everyone with their future journeys. Try, try, try again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pups_mum Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 So sorry to hear of the disappointments, especially as these young people have had more stresses to deal with than average this year. In some ways I think it is harder to get so close and then be unable to take up a place than it is to receive a "no" in the first round of auditions. Remember that your children have demonstrated real potential to get to this point, and that there will be more opportunities in the future. I was watching a video with my sporty son today, in which one of his sports heroes was giving advice to young atheletes. He started by saying how those who are "the best" at youth level are not necessarily those destined for professional success. Early success, he suggested, was largely down to physical strength, with those boys who hit puberty early often winning by virtue of superior power. But, he went on to say, that all evens out with time, and indeed the late bloomers may ultimately have the edge, because they have learned superior skills, tactics and resilience as they couldn't simply rely on brute strength. He encouraged those who aren't at the top currently to keep trying whilst cautioning those who are the big winners at the moment not to become complacent and to explore their weaknesses. Obviously that advice doesn't carry over to dance precisely, but the principles certainly do. The game is definitely not over at 11, or even necessarily at 16 and disappointment today may become strength tomorrow. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you hear soon, and hope it is good news for you. Best of look to anyone else who is still waiting.

ponklemum Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I emailed them earlier and I’ve just had a reply saying no fee remission for us.

I'm assuming any fee remission will also have gone to year 7 as that is really the only cohort they need and with limited funds available they will have made them a priority.
