Pls check the school website regarding DSA around in May and register your DS online. After that, the SST website will direct you to register your child for the General Ability Test (GAT) and Comprehension Reasoning Test (CRT) conducted by Principals Academy Inc (PAI). You can select the desired test date you want which are conducted from June to July.

If your DS pass the first round, SST will email to you and invite your child for the second round selection camp. During the camp, the students are divided into groups and need to perform a teambuilding task like maybe use the materials provided to build the strongest bridge, a model stand for bungee jump. There will be teachers assessing the students based on leadership, participation, teamwork, etc and some short interview.

Around end of Aug, SST will send a letter and inform the outcome: Confirmed Offer/Waiting List/Reject. For those on CO/Waiting List, the child's Primary School will give out a DSA letter for the children to exercise their DSA school option around in Oct.

In Nov when the PSLE result is released, those students who have participated in the DSA-Sec Exercise will be informed of the school allocation result as well. As long as your child is eligible for Express (COP around 200) and he is given a CO by SST, he will be posted to SST.

My DS just started Sec 1 at SST and he is soooo happy with his school. He can’t stop talking about how great the school is…he is enjoying the different approach and strong emphasis on ICT that the school has. He said that his classmates PSLE score mainly around 247 to 255 but since they went through the DSA so it does not matter anyway.

Hi AZmama, my DS also in sec 1 this year. He's also happy with his school. His classmates also score around 240 and I hope that with his low score he will be able to catch up with them.

Don't worry javbaby. I am sure your son will cope just fine. Sometimes children peak at different level and time. The school seems to emphasize on holistic learning about getting the kids to be more responsible like not having bell for start/end recess so that they have to manage their own time.
I also find the students are generally very happy and motivated, even the upper sec. I believe that if we tackle the motivation part and get them to be passionate independent learner, they will be fine whatever exam you ask to take.
Plus you can also see the first cohort o-levels results recently which was pretty good. I do believe the first intake probably had lower PSLE ave coz the school was new then. So don't worry and enjoy the ride

I’m checking in here to get the latest news on SST! Would like to meet all parents who intend to DSA your dc to SST this year.

I am also curious if any of the pioneer batch students managed to get into a JC via DSA.

Can any parent share what kind of teaching resources or materials does SST use? Does the school also use textbooks or school own notes? Hope some parents can share many thks!

When my son was in sec 1 and 2, he had chinese and maths textbooks. The rest of resources were found in the school google site or school notes. In sec 3 and 4, there are texbooks for most subjects in preparation for O level.

Hi,
Can someone please advise what Sec 1 textbooks SST is using for English, Math and Science? I curious how they are different from that of say RI or NYGS.

Thanks.

Hi Everyone, I've been reading alot here and really grateful of parents who shared their kids dsa process with us. Ds is also aiming at SST but he needs to work very hard towards this goal. I can see his improvement in attitude too. His brain is all about SST now that when I talked to him about other school, his brighten up face will dim down immediately. And now I have to prep him and tell him positive things about other school, just in case.....

Last friday, I went to ds school for their PSLE curriculum talk and they actually got speaker from SST to introduce the school to us! They also said that alot of people has been spectaculating about the school pioneer 'O' level results and they are annoucing it for the first time here. hehehe... I hope I got the info correct as the speaker was talking so fast.

100% of the students qualified for Poly
98.?% of the students qualified for Poly and JC
56.4% of the students scored distinction

The funny thing about this speaker is, they even know \"kiasuparents.com\"!
