Anyone rec'd email for interview from DHS under Performing Art (Chinese Orchestra)?

From my conversation with the 3 persons (at least a teacher from DHS and a teacher from Shangyin Music School) during the DHS-Performing Arts (CO) audition, the indication given to me is that there will be no call-up for interview. Results of DSA will be released at end of Aug.

I was also told that this year, there are many students who DSA through CO, perhaps due to the removal of GAT.

...

If just audition for Chinese Orchestra DSA, no need any interview, does it mean ... easier now to DSA into Dunman High ?

Person in charge
said if P6 students DSA by Sports category : after student attend interview (for short-listed candidates only), just wait for final outcome.
She didn't say by when will receive outcome. She said \"Wait for outcome, after attend interview\".

She said for P6 students who DSA not by Sports category :-
this Half-day-programme is not for everybody, but for selected candidates only, which RGS feel they need to assess further.

When question her : how they select students to attend Half-day programme, she replied she has no info on this.

Someone wrote earlier that this year MOE requires all applicants to go through same selection process, so is RGS allowed to exempt some applicants from HDP? Or there is no such MOE requirement?

Anyway some RGS interviewees, who were not called up for HDP, have received rejection emails.

I interpret the alleged MOE guideline is that all students under same domain of a school has to undergo same selection process. In past years, there were some unhappiness that GEP students get a free pass for DSA by skipping tests and go straight to interview, hence the possibility that MOE would want to ensure a more level playing field.[/quote]Sorry, I didn't take your post in context to the one you replied to. You are right.

And by this stage, do they still elminate many applicants?

If what the rgs staff said is true, there is still hope for those that attend interview but not HDP.

But if you are following this threads, some parents commented that they had (or their friends had) received email notification. Last email sent was supposed to be on 30/7/17, Sunday.

I'm not sure if we can assume that what my understanding is correct or no email means no chance. We'll just take it as 'no chance'. Who knows we may receive a pleasant surprise on 31/8/17 (for those still wishing for a glimpse of hope).

We should now concentrate on the coming PSLE oral exam and school's prelim if we do not receive notification for interviews.

All the best to those who are selected for interview in whichever schools or domains!

Meaning that from what you heard, the process for CO dsa is just audition, followed by offer of CO or rejection email?
Do you happen to know the number of vacancy offered for Chinese Orchestra?
Thanks.[/quote]A friend's child going for DHS interview, under CO tomorrow. Indeed, heard many submitted DSA using CO.

My child is a boy and yes he has shooting experience. He started in P5 and had been to about 3 competitions so far.

phtthp, thank you. No his primary school does not have shooting CCA. He started learning privately only late last year. I must say his coach is extremely good and very experience in this field. All thanks to him, my DS manages to grasp the technique pretty fast.

For those who likes to know the club, can PM me separately.
