Thank you...So I guess the best way is to really do the Open House next year and check it out...
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.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 -

Well, maybe, but it may not help. For example, for RGS, during their open house this year, nothing was said about the sports they intend to exclude from the DSA exercise. It was only when MOE announces the commencement of the DSA-Exercise (in May) that it was known (to public) that certain sports/domains were excluded (or included) in some schools.

I feel open house never give that exact info. It is only through dsa application the final details are given.
Hope this helps. -
It is MOE that allocates the no. of DSA places for each school, and the domains. The school has no say; they have to wait for MOE’s allocation every year.
This is what I was told by the teacher in charge of Shooting when we went for a top girls’ school’s DSA Open House in March. She said she didnt know if they would have any Shooting DSA places this year becos MOE had not decided on any quota yet. According to her, MOE wants talent to be more evenly distributed across Spore’s schools. That probably explains why some schools get 0 quota for certain domains this year. -
