For Visual Arts, does it helps if the student has a very strong foundation in drawing and painting if he/she enters the school at Y5?

Strong foundation? At Yr5 it shouldn't be just strong foundation, it should be his/her major.
What about theory? What are her work credentials? Gallery show cases? Any awards? Good chance if all these are present. But please, don't let me scare you, pls go ahead and try. You'll never know, you might be the lucky one.

I would urge all who wants to come to SOTA, join them immediately after PSLE, that's the best time. Latest by Sec 3.

Yes, agree that it's best to join after PSLE but not my child to decide. The parents want the child to have O levels first.

Just curious, are there SOTA first-year students who quit SOTA and leave for mainstream schools shortly after school started? If they do, what is the process of going to mainstream school? Approach individual school principals?


Thanks!

Hi MMM,

Did not ask that... I know the feeling. Even after shortlisted, more to come. What discipline are you going for?

They say will send in batches from afternoon.

Wonder how they send out such mass emails..

Hi,

Thanks for sharing. I will be on flight so will probably able to share the good/ bad news with ds when I arrived saturday mid-night.

He is trying under music. What about your dc?

Yes, getting shortlist is just the beginning. I went through DSA for my dd last year (but not SOTA). If they are shortlisted, at least they have the opportunity to be expose. For SOTA, we are facing it with a open mind. But yes... DSA is full of anxiety, excitement and hopefully happiness.
