It is not impactful enough, if it is just within the school. Need to outreach to stakeholders like community.
So after the chat, I understood why I was not promoted. I never expect a GEO 2 has to do till that extent to get promoted.
Okay, time to find a new job after my contract. One less passionate teacher in the service. Now I finally understand what my mentor told me before he left the school.
“You thought promotion so easy uh. Every extra things you did can be claimed as your routine job.”

Did you hear your RO tell you exactly that 'community impact' is one of the criteria for GEO2 or GEO3 for that matter (since we are talking about potential to be promoted to the next subgrade). If they explicitly say it is one of the criteria and you never meet, you are allowed to challenge it.
The latest document sent out to KPs with regards to each subgrade's expectation, teaching/leadership/specialist track etc. will list down in black and white.
But if the RO says that in your school, there are other GEO 2s who go above and beyond, impact community with what they are doing, so they get a better PB, that ain't wrong either. Because you will be ranked against colleagues of the same subgrade. So take a look at what the other GEO 2s in your school are doing also, and the performance grade they received.
impacting community is not expected requirement at GEO2/3/4, so doing that is exceeding expectation (just for this stakeholders portion though). But it should not be the reason why you were not promoted (not getting a good Perf Grade, yes possible). So maybe try to recall the conversation..
And change schools if indeed your current one has too many strong GEO 2/3s who go above and beyond.
