DSA 2017

[Seheena]

i was wondering if there is any parent with daughters who used JUDO as DSA? Apologies if this is coming for the left field as my younger daughter is keen to take the sport up and whom better to ask but parents who have done it this year. Saw the MOE site and they had only boys school under judo…thank you

You need to check schools’ website, check which Girls Secondary school, accept Judo as DSA (if any)


Not sure about All Girls Sec schools.
maybe Co-ed Secondary schools may have.

Thank you...Just another follow-up question, do they change the sports from year to year?

[phtthp]

What’s your definition of "Change the Sports, from year to year "?


If you are asking whether Secondary schools via DSA, change their Sports from year to year :-
For existing ones : they won’t change

But for new ones, they may add new Sports in

Example

Say, X Secondary school last time don’t have Hockey, for DSA

But if school X today want to add in or include Hockey as a new Sports DSA, Yes, they can.

But think carefully, first.

Once you accept DSA :
the commitment is either 4 years or 6 years, depending on which Sec school offer

Actually this is not correct. There are a few changes this year, some schools did take away a few sports from their DSA list. For example, Judo, Gymnastics (Trampoline) and Shooting were one of the DSA sports for RGS (and probably NYGH too) last year, but this year, these sports were taken out.

Newbie parent here. DD invited for interview at NYGH next week. Anyone know the format of interview?
