DSA 2017

fable:

It doesn't say no talent or experience required (tho that would be extremely enlightened) It says:
\"Only shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend the first round which comprise trials and auditions. Past experience in the talent category of choice is not a requirement.\"

--

If you are applying under a sport then you do need to show us that you are good at the sport. But we'll say that past experience is not a requirement coz you might be an awesome guitarist but have never been in a guitar ensemble, or singer but never been in a choir. Or even a volleyball player but a faster runner than the track kids. We are open to looking at your other types of evidence that show your skill. But I don't think it means you have never sat in a canoe before but you want to try out for canoeing.
:

Yes, must qualify that what we say here are wild speculations.

Fable,
Ah..see we interpret differently. That's the beauty of a miscommunication...lol. we read what we want to read

Past experience not required. Lol. Not no talent. But how we know we have talent if no experience? Means looking at inborn talent? I thought a better word for a\"experience\" could be \"achievement\". But hey, maybe they have their own reasons, I just being a kp.

How then to shortlist for trial based on an application form? Means more will be made know once the application opens, so don't need gan Cheong now.

Agree that basic requirements for sports CCA may hinge on napfa results/participation or member of a sports in current sch and music based CCA, on whether you have basic background or interest/current cca. Good guitarist not in an ensemble eg, I won't say is no experience. Knowing how to play guitar is experience, or have I misinterpreted again?. The past experience clause I feel only applies to certain ccas (not common pri sch ones) . My guesses again (so stressful to write nowadays).

Do note the DSA intake vacancies and divide by the number of ccas offered, one can see how ultra competitive it may actually be.

Hi,

Do they consider the past 5 year results and P6 SA1 results?any hope for those who get Bs?

Some sch need p4 but most ask for p5-6 results.
And hope for Bs depending on your application domain. And the school you applying for. Some olevel school DSA via sports only need 70% grades.

can someone pls advise if DSA to PLMGSS is difficult and competitive? I heard majority of the students are from affiliation so the COP is based on? the requirements stated for DSA don’t seem too high though… but that is normally the minimum right?

My DS is in a neighborhood school, her grades aren’t fantastic, however, she is around the top 10 in level for almost all subjects. She is also a band secretary as well as a assistant head prefect. She is very keen in trying for DSA under band, her teachers are very supportive too. Should we give it a try?

top 10 in level in a neighbourhood school can probably out her in the low 260s range. With this kind of score, can go almost anywhere even without DSA.

If your DS is really interested in Band and would like to take up Band as his CCA in his secondary school, give him your support and let him try.

Anyone knows do we need to get testimonials from teachers? Or do they give?
