Hi mathsparks,

my son is p5 this yr. Heard that we can also visit the open house of sec school during the dsa period. Is it ok to do so ..or is it too early (kiasu).... :?

Quite a number of students visit Open Houses in P5, so go ahead. Never too early to do your homework. Sometimes, after going to an Open House, you (or your kid) will change your mind about the school. I know we did.

thanks turquoise...so the open house will be around june right?

Most of them hold it in late May or in June, after the SA1s, usually on Saturdays. NJC's tours were on weekday afternoons. Best to call the schools or check their websites.

Yes, if you’re free, bring your P5 kids to the dsa open houses…even if they’re not applying…it may spur them to work towards their goals.


Also, do attend the briefings conducted by schools for P6 students/parents. Crash their party. So you know in advance what to prepare.

Nus High open house starts as early as Apr, while HCI/RI in May.

I did bring my younger boy along for Open Houses as well. But some schools he was totally not interested to going to visit.

O, that's because SOTA does not take in any student after the DSA and they have camps and auditions to attend. Been looking at their curriculum and their syllables, very interesting...
