      I think cca should be a passion and/or an interest of our kids more than just a tool to dsa. Maybe that's why moe is trying to adjust cca domain every year?


      I don't think the children train in order to DSA to a particular school. They definitely train in the sport cuz of interest and passion. Eventually, those who excel in any particular sport will become aware of the secondary choices available for them to DSA to and would have attended the open houses to select their choice school, only to find the DSA domain taken out at the commencement of the DSA Exercise in early May, during the midst of their SA1 exams.

        What is the date and time of your DS's audition?
        My son applied for SJI DSA IP - Art. Called the school this morning, the person said he is on the list of \"To be called\" but till now had not received any call or email. Based on the information on their website, audition day is only on 15 Jul. If that is the case, then need to make a hard choice as he has another audition to go on this Sat morning.

        The email states 'music audition and interview' on 15 July.
        All the best to your son as well.

        Finally received the email.
        Had to call the school, and the lady answering the call insisted the emails had been sent out to both parents, but neither of us received. Asked for her help to resend to other email address and finally received.
        Alas, as expected audition time clashes with another audition DS had to attend, and SJI made it clear in the notification that they would not accede to requests for alternative date for audition.
        When DS comes home tonight, he would have to make the tough decision on which one to attend.[/quote]
        Heard got cases where they manage to get alternative date from SJI

          Just curious.

          Are there cases of kids being awarded CO without any interviews?

                It should be the secondary school that proposes to MOE and then MOE will look at their plans and approve it.

                just to share since my older DD is in RGS. Nationally, since there are fewer and fewer students in each cohort, this also affects numbers each school can take. (I don't mean through DSA but overall). Her cohort had one less class than previous cohort.
                RGS just went through an exericse, including consultation with many groups, before deciding to trim/ merge some CCAs, including a couple of sports. I don't know if these sports had DSA route but i figure this is one example of how schools do have to tweak their DSA priorities from year to year.
