Yeah, i tried to read old posts in this thread to get a rough idea. Just to prep my son so he knows roughly what is expected of him.

Enquiring on behalf of another mum. Do anyone know whether all email been sent? If by today did not receive any, can it be confirmed is not successful?

Called just now and was told they are still in process of sending out emails. Only successful applicants will be informed by 25 July (Wed). Totally understand the agony in the meantime!

Any parents know what they will be doing during this selection camp?

Hello!

I'm a student is currently studying in SST, while the teachers do look for prospective students, they look out for those with the ability to think on the spot, work well with others and conquer unexpected challenges. The school wants those with the passion for science and technology, but also those who have the desire to do well. In my personal experience, just be yourself, do not try to \"fake\" your way through, because our teachers can see through the smoke... Erm, let's say, they deal with it a lot, especially during humanities. Be yourself; the teachers do look for one thing, the most important thing, which is respect and honesty.

The DSA Phase II for our school will have the students split up into groups of 4/5, in which group interviews are carried out, but do note, in these interviews, respect your other interviewees, or they usually won't accept you. After the group interviews, they would have you go through a challenge. In 2015 they had my team design and built a parachute, which had various requirements and restrictions, which will hinder prospective students, in a right way. This is a part of the process to see what prospective students can achieve via creative and critical thinking.

For those going for the Phase 2 next week, CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK!
I hope to see you for the \"A Day @ SST\" and/or in school next year!

Regards,
An SST Student

Hi, anyone here, or who knows of anyone, who received the acceptance for camp these few days? Seems like most selected candidates were notified over the weekend (21-22/7). However, they claim that they are still in the process of sending out emails to successful candidates.

I called this morning and they said selected applicants can still expect to receive the email these few days to next week. Have any of your kid’s classmates/friends from school received anything?

My boy’s tuition classmate has received the notification, however he and his school mate didn’t get any. I told him to be mentally prepared that he might not be selected.
