[quote=sweetbaby post_id=1917866 time=1562307233 user_id=16633]HI

Anyone can share for Science DSA domain test, is one of the test a practical? Rather unfortunate timing, my boy hurt his arm (this morning :nailbite: ) and will have difficulties if the test is more hands on type. I think he'll be able to manage a written test, though he'll be a little uncomfortable. I just would like to manage his expectations and reassure him. He's . a little upset since its the only school he DSAed for. Thank you.

Edit:
RI's email stated that they wont be able to disclose type of test, so I'm unable to contact RI.

Pls PM, any help will be appreciated.

Sorry I don’t have any useful info to share with you. Just posting here to wish your boy all the best for his DSA exercise. Hope to hear good news from you in Aug. :xedfingers:

Thanks iRabbit,

We are not pining much hope as the boy was not in his best form and in discomfort. We actually preferred for him to stay and rest at home but he persuaded us to let him try. Looking at the sheer number of boys present at the selection test and the reality of the limited DSA slots was truly an eye opener and humbling experience. :salute:[/quote]So today was the selection test. No wonder RI was so packed when I went there to pick up my boy this morning.

Regardless of the DSA outcome, I hope the school managed to give your boy a positive impression. My boy, who is lukewarm about most things , likes the school very much. For that I'm thankful.

Someone mentioned that the probability of enrolling in RI is higher via PSLE than DSA. So all the best to your boy's DSA, as well as PSLE in less than 3 months' time.

I'll pass the message along to my boy. It was a great opportunity for him to be able to set foot at the Yr 5 and Yr 6 grounds. I thought the Yr1-4 campus was already quite a distance to walk around.... now seeing the other half.... :scared: Overall, RI was very understanding and accommodating.

Dear parents,

Anyone applied for DSA through Violin? What is the expectation from RI? My DS is in P5 this year and planning to try DSA through Violin. He is in ABRSM Grade 4. Any advise or suggestions?

Hi RI parents,


I’m posting here to say thanks for all the supportive parents like iRabbit as well as the useful info in this thread. DS managed to get a spot for the interview phase. Hopefully he clears the interview stage although I’ve reminded him how fierce the competition will be. More importantly, he’s very motivated to continue to work hard after reading some of the posts here.

If I'm not wrong , I think you will stand a much higher chance with dip

Are there any parents with sons in the MEP or Band CCA who can share their experiences on the programme/CCA? Are the teachers nurturing and creative? What does your son enjoy/dislike about it? Thank you.

You can find information for dsa music 2019 here

The requirement for dsa music was ABRSM grade 7 distinction and above a few years ago. For the past few yrs, Ri only accepted 1 music dsa students and it may not be violinist. It's really competitive!
