DSA 2017

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?

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?

keke… realized that I have post wrongly. Its my DD instead.


Junemum72,
with regards to testimonials, for my girl’s case, her teachers volunteer to write it for her. Perhaps u can try asking u’r child’s teachers?

My DD's form teacher distributed a form to document achievements/certificates and personally wrote testimonials for all the students applying DSA. As all well deserving \"Kiasu-ians\", we also very thick skin requested the testimonial to be countersigned by the principal. :imanangel:

No testimonial. It is school policy that no testimonial would be given. At least that's the case for my kids' school.
Understandable. Imagine how many testimonials teachers would have to write every year during DSA application period.
