Hi balletmum,


How do you sign up your child for Junior Studios at SOTA? Is there a age or dance grade requirement?

You sign up at SOTA website. Age is for P5 (11 years old) and P 6 (12 years).
More info can be found at their website.

Hi all,

I am not a mummy but a sec 1 student currently in SCGS. Though SCGS is a one of the top schools in singapore, it has not really given me the \"space\" to develop my passion, art. So I'm thinking of transferring through visual arts to SOTA next year.
However, I have certain things I'm still quite unsure about.

1. Given that I am actually in the lowest class in SCGS, is it okay to go to SOTA? My PSLE score was only 226 and I have friends with scores of 250 and above who are already in SOTA. So what's the average scores of students there?

2. So far, I am not doing very well for my CA's and i doubt my SA's will be any better. For CA3, i scored B4s and B3s for History, Geography, Science and Chinese. The only As i got are for English-A1 and Math-A2. So is this mark range acceptable? Also, Chinese is my worst subject and the only reason i managed to clinch a B4 is because I was cast as the lead in a theatre segment for Chinese that accounted for 30% of CA3. So if not for that I would have failed chinese. (CA2 chinese D7) So I would like to know if its okay to not do so well for chinese...(heheh)

3. If I were to join through visual arts, are there other opportunities for me to experience other art forms? I actually enjoy singing alot and my current CCA is choir. So will there be chances for me to do dance and theatre and all the other art forms?

4. Lastly, I like my art but I'm not sure if it's actually up to standard. I have a strong passion for it. Yet I'm not even sure if I can get in. so here's a link to some of my art stuff...

Hi!

You actually just need Express to get in! However, to get in, you do need to have the talent as well as the X Factor, otherwise even if you got 300 for PSLE you wouldn't even be able to get in!

And fellow parents, have you received the reporting day package yet? Nada here!

Alicorn :thankyou:

Thank You!! I went to check out what the AEP program is however, SOTA doesnt state HOW to get into it. I called SOTA up actually and they said that wasnt an option. So now I have to wait till Jan 2nd to see if there are any spaces in SOTA before i go for the audition. HOPING THERES SPACE!!! :xedfingers:

Can anyone else give me their opinions? If theres any thing I can work on for my art and improve on, do tell me!
