Hi,

Q:Does anyone know if DSA for dance need GAT test?
A: Generally yes. Though different schools may have different policies. It all depends on the individual schools. You can call the schools to confirm.

Q: And what would be the average results for p5 and SA1 p6 before it is worth to try for DSA?
A: Hmmm... I know RI and RGS will look at the P5 and P6 results.

Good luck to your child!!

Based on my understanding, the need for GAT is dependent on schools. Some schools require GAT, others do not. So if the school you applied DSA needs GAT, it doesn't matter whether it is sports, academics, dance or whatsoever. Only exception is GEP students or mainstream students with very excellent results which will be informed by the schools that they are exempted from GAT.

Usually, average results for DSA sports is 75% and that of practising arts (e.g. choir, dance, orchestra) is 80% but it really depends on the competition you are up against.

Thank you for your feedback and comments. I guess it will be the school to decide on GAT or none. The DSA programs seem very competitive and we as parents need to do much homework ourselves. Going to a few open house this sat. Looks like a lot of school holding their open houses in Nov.

Hello.

Anyone has any info on DSA (CCAs) to SCGS? What are the CCAs that is on their selection list?
I went to their website but there is nothing there anymore.

Hi all

I notice MOE website doesn’t categorise the schools offering what type of DSA. I’m considering schools that offer dance as a DSA. Any idea if any other websites have such info?
