Does SOTA only select P6 potentials or they also interest in P5? Will they ask P5 to try TA when the students at P6?

If I'm not wrong, they mix P5 and P6 for JA and i have a P5 friend which was also selected to skip the audition next year but she needs to attend the JA again when she is P6 .

How will the student know?? SOTA gives them the letter immediately after JA or via school?

I always thought they would be told on the spot but as mentioned, my dd said no one in her JA class was told anything...which is quite hard to imagine coz none in a class of 20 were good enough? And besides, she knows that some were even CSTD summer school winners...surely they would be good enough to be called. :scratchhead:

SOTA JA invitation is via School recommendation…I am wondering how many Primary schools/NAFA arts school participate in this class. SOTA only conduct 1 to 2 Classes (size 20) each JA period?? Will SOTA consider student with 2 years of JA experiences for TA??

Hi, my DD (P6) is interested in Literary Arts (English) and she wants to take the audition for SOTA. She has a passion of creative writings and loves the literature. She is also one of the top scorers in her cohort (English) and got awards. But as a traditional minded parents, we are bit unsure what to do. As of now, we were thinking she should select her choice after completing secondary schools or later as this is too early. May be we are wrong..not sure... :scratchhead:


Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

What is the minimum grade to audition for SOTA for music (piano)?


Anyone can share what it is like there for those taking music?

Thanks!

Hello All,


My girl is in P6 from a neighbourhood school. She has been keen in Visual Arts for some years and would like to join SOTA. However, she is just an average student and I worry she won’t make it although she is confident with her artwork. I will go to the Open House tomorrow to find out more. Does anyone know the min aggregate for PSLE if any to join Visual Arts?

Thank you.

Farah23,hope you found out what you were looking for at the open house yesterday. SOTA requires that the child qualifies for express once they pass the Talent Academy. That said, I guess it would be best if our DC do as well as they can for the PSLE coz IB does sound rigorous.

You need to talk to your DD what she hopes to do after her 6 years of post-primary education. Students who know what they want to be will most likely do well in the school that can help them achieve their objective. Personally, I think most SOTA students have in mind what they want to be after 6 years of SOTA education...at least for my DD.

Most SOTA students go on to do degree courses related to the Arts. And most will go overseas to further their education. So if this is what your DD wants and it is her passion, she should be able to do well in SOTA. If the parents do not wish for their children to be in the Arts field, then parents and child should talk to each other.
