      I know a case from DHS, repeat or leave quietly. It's quite common esp IP schools w/o O level track.


      There is an O level class in DHS. Know 3 kids who Dsa-ed in via Cca ended up in that class at yr 2 / 3. Poor kids, told me its not a v friendly environment. They didnt do well for o and are now in a less popular jc.

      Not sure how those IP teachers at Dunman High, teaching O-level-on-demand class, are like. After all, a few students are inside this class, as majority are in IP classes.

      Maybe, they teach differently from those O-level-Regular-class, in dual track sec schools.

        Just to alert those who had been awaiting anxiously (& patiently) for ACSI’s DSA results will likely to either receive a call next week if successful (both academically & Sports). If applicants did not receive any calls, all rejection letters will go out after Prelims.


        ACSI academic provides very limited places & they had received overwhelming applications. Only 48 Express places & 82 IP vacancies for >1000 applicants.

        All the best & hope your D.C. will be rewarded for your patience. Meantime, work hard at Prelims & the coming PSLE. PSLE Orals starts tomorrow.

        ACSI website indicates :-

        "Successful applicants will be contacted via telephone from the 3rd week of August 2017. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified via email by 31 August 2017.

        Parents, do note that the number of vacancies available through the DSA exercise is limited. In view of the large number of applicants received, it is advisable that you support and counsel your child to manage his expectations regarding the DSA outcome."

              TOTAL offered by ACSI. Guess internally they'll adjust base on competencies.

                [quote=\"TigerPanda\"]Has anyone heard RGS giving out few COs already?


                Dear all, just heard from dd, her classmate received CO(Academic) from RGS already. My dd never asked which domain but confirmed not from Maths domain(cos my dd never saw this classmate in the maths Q during the HDP).
                So may be is truth that some got offer liao.... 🤷 :?

                Anyone can confirm the above ? Tks.[/quote]Just to update everyone, my DD checked with her classmate in school today again and was told byt the classmate, she DSA thru English domain received CO.

                Then, another 2 of my DD's classmates DSA- Maths domain also received emails from RGS already but both of them- DSA thru Maths were unsuccessful! So may be those never received any news still got hope (at least for maths domain) :xedfingers:

                    By the way, hearsay that for CHIJ St Nicholas (IP) programme : those IP Teachers don't teach much. They gave out brief Lecture notes.


                    Any St Nick IP (parent or student), can help verify this, is this True or False ?
                    Same case as what I heard about NJC. 😓
