DSA 2017
-
We have been considering and made up our mind to DSA in P6 with DS’s school’s encouragement.
At first my kiasu cells made me want to apply for 3 schools and I convinced my DS and daddy with this idea. But after having attended these 3 schools’ open house, DS was motivated by 2 of them and showed his strong eagerness to join them. Because of this. we decided to DSA to only these 2 schools that our DS equally likes.
The DSA journey is challenging and fun. It’s not only a journey to know the school, to let the school to know our DS, but also a journey to let our DS to know about himself, who he is and what he wants. I still remember when first time I asked my son who he is, his answer includes his name, his school, which domain he applied. His father laughed out loudly and said,” Are you sure this is you? Then who is that boy who did the science experiment and messed our kitchen? Who is that boy built us a little garden? Who is that boy who loves sports, nature …” Now, after the DSA journey, if you let my DS to introduce himself, he will tell you who truly he is.
The two schools we applied are very different, both have their strong points and weakness. If the school can help us make the decision with one CO only which will be a bit loss (due to my kiasu cells) but also a big release. But if DS will have 2 COs, it will be a very difficult decision for us to make. Too many things we must compare because this will be a 6-year long journey that a teenager will go through.
The most important thing in 2017 to DS, is still PSLE. As his father said to him,” It’s your duty to close your primary school life with a beautiful full stop. “ -

Usually, will be released on Wed half-day 10.30 am Teacher day celebration (30 aug), one day before actual Teacher's day holiday (31 aug), no school.
Next Fri (1 Sep) : hari raya haji, public holiday
Next week is a short week (2.5 days of school), exciting for those awaiting news.
This Aug month : a lot of e-learning days -
Sorry may I ask a question that was already discussed before but it didn’t quite register with me.
1) If one gets a CO, puts 1st choice, means definitely will get into the school?
2) If one gets 1 CO and 1 WL, but prefers the second school, under the option form how should one indicate>?
1st choice WL school
2nd choice CO school
If in this instance, does it mean that the CO is no longer guaranteed as didn’t put first choice?
Thank you in advance. -

Thank you in advance.
2) if puts WL 1st choice and CO 2nd choice, if WL doesn't convert to CO, then you will definitely get your CO (2nd choice). If really like WL school, one way is to put WL as the only choice (and don't put CO at all) and in the event WL doesn't convert to CO, then still have a chance with WL school via PSLE results.
The only time that you don't get your CO is if you don't put that school at all in the Option form in end Oct. -

Can you elaborate on your pt 2 - if WL not convert to CO, still have a chance with WL school via PSLE results ... how that 'chance' works? Thanks. -

If WL not converted to CO, and you didn't put any other CO school in the Option Form, then you will be eligible to participate in S1 posting based on PSLE results. if your PSLE score meets the cut-off-point for WL school, then you will get posted to WL school if you put that as first choice during S1 posting.

It is a \"chance\" because if your PSLE results did not meet the COP of WL school, then you will not be posted to the school.
Just to clarify, for point 2, there is a risk if you put only WL school and do not put any CO school. If WL school did not convert, you will also not get your CO school (because you did not put it on the option form). If PSLE results meet WL cut off point, well and good, during S1 posting, put WL as first choice and you will end up with WL. If PSLE results below WL COP, then you don't get WL (and you may not get the earlier CO school if you also don't meet COP). So take this option only if you are very sure you really want to try for WL school and don't mind losing the CO school...
