Just want to check can the parents attend on behalf for the preview on 17/8 if DD is selected? Or the child needs to attend? Can anyone share on past experience? Thanks.

What exactly do they cover during preview ?

If I don't remember wrongly, parents are allowed to attend and they will introduce the school, something like what they have done during Open House, DSA & those who do well in NMOS & SPSO where they will invite the parents to attend the DSA talk. In addition, they will tell you what to do during the DSA preference stage, how to fill up the form, etc. They will tell you to opt for NUSHS as first choice if you really want to join them ,especially those with multiple COs & those under waiting list. I think it's the same for other schools, they will want you to put them as first choice. After that, I think there is a Q&A session. Good luck !

I heard some who attended the DSA camp have received notice from NUSH to attend an interview. Anyone knows anything about this and what the interview will be like?

Wondering how they shortlist for the interview. It's your friend's DC doing very well in school's exam or avg case ? Trying to figure out.....
