Has anyone submitted DSA application already ? So far any feedback ?

Every school timing is different. You need to check with the school or note the website. Most of the form will be published in the school website.
Some will even state the list of talent that they need - likes netball, hockey, etc.

[quote=\"ningy\"]My DD1 came home & told us that RGS is inviting the girls in her class to a tea session. Seems like RGS is quite aggresive; wonder if they will talk abt DSA during the session and I guess many schools will receive this invitation too. But my DD1 not keen on RGS - she's eyeing the other girl school but don't know if NYGH is organising any tea session ??

Your daughter and her friends must have very strong qualifications to be invited for tea by RGS. Is it just for selected students only?

secondary schools road show starts after SA 1

know of another school started recruiting at P5 ... shhhhhhhh[/quote]well not surprising...schools also getting kiasu haaaaaaa...But I think they cannot offer a place to the p5 literally but 'try to market the school' to the p5 top students.. :roll:

DD1 mentioned only students are invited; anyway i find it’s quite strange that such a top sch needs to "sell" itself. I thought there will be a lot of students (especially the GEPers) who will apply for their DSA.


Just checked the NYGH website - DSA opens for online registration from 10 may onwards (until july i think). but i will only apply when i know DD1’s SA1 and math olympiad results; so guess have to wait till mid or end May. they only requested for P5 and P6 results + achievements; no need testimonial.

Oh yes, DD1 said only 3 or 4 girls can attend the tea session; don’t know whether ft will choose or draw lots or who are interested. got another BICEP 1day camp at Hwa Chong during june hols (organised by HCI and NYGH) - also a few vacancies available - "advertisement" time i think. nowadays the principals must think of marketing strategies too - quite aggressive in trying to get the "best" students. that’s why the debate at Victoria whether to be true IP sch.

ya I think hci pretty agressive in attracting top students nowadays...last sat there is an event organised by them also for selected p5 students( abt 54 of them)...so they also do 30mins of 'advertisement' there...

There is also a 30 mins 'school promotion talk' by NYGH (for female participants) and HCI (for male participants) during the forthcoming Preliminary Round of Schools Bilingual Olympiad.
