2019 DSA interview
For DSA interview conducted yesterday Friday (on 2 August 2019) , several candidates were awaiting outside interview room.
Inside the interview room, once the interviewers started communicating to candidate(s) in Mandarin, continue to reply them in Mandarin, because Dunman High being a SAP school, they trying to assess whether you are proficient in Mandarin
Interviewers asking interviewees questions in Mandarin, applied to any domain, not merely confined / restricted / limited to "Bilingualism" DSA domain only -

Yes, you are correct
Just finished ours 430pm, very fast as they just asked how long have you been playing, never ask what Grade are you at etc.. Spoke to one of the student in Band who helping the teachers outside bandroom.
Was told that actually the cca doesnt require any music background. So it doesnt matter if you are high qualification or not. However the chance of getting in quite competitive.
Heard only 3 out of 20 (shorlisted) will get CO. [/quote]
Out of hundreds of applicants who have applied for Dunman High (music) domain, only 21 candidates were short-listed, for audition. And these 21 candidates are very good musician, a few have already passed Grade 8 (Practical & Theory), while some possess Diploma in music. These 21 candidates, out of hundreds of DSA applicants, got short-listed by Dunman High for audition, is no mean feat
And out of Total 21 short-listed Western music candidates who attended audition last time, in the end, only 3 candidates were short-listed for interview, yesterday Friday afternoon (2 August 2019).
This is how competitive DSA (music) domain is, @Dunman High
Amongst the 3 candidates who attended interview, 2 are from SAP primary schools, one is from Non-SAP school. They were interviewed, in Mandarin -
Is yesterday an interview day for all domains? As my boy classmates from different domains were all there for interview.
Yes they tested chinese on the spot and my boy was stunned. First time intro in mandarin. 3 interviewers to 1 student. -
Yesterday, a lot of p6 students from various different domain, attended interview.
Even if they not aware that u have earlier on requested for a change of interview date before, the panel of interviewers can still ask candidate, "besides us, which other schools did you also apply DSA ? And amongst these, which is your first choice school preference ?"
Candidate cannot tell lie, must speak the truth as to which other schools he ( she) had also applied for, because they can easily find out, if they want to. As to whether which is your first choice school, parents should prepare child before hand first, how to answer (reply) diplomatically, in both English and Mandarin, esp. If Mandarin not fluent. Is like preparing another Oral question, since students already preparing for PSLE Oral on coming (15, 16 August), because under PSLE Oral, examiners can ask about "choosing Secondary schools" topic
Some of you, due to p6 prelim oral exam Day 2 clashed with yesterday interview : Dunman High is very nice and kind, she had helped u re-schedule your interview, to next week. Do prepare how to answer some of above interview questions, just shared (above). All the best ! -
does it mean reject if have not received the 2nd interview invitation?
-
is best that u call up Dunman High next Monday, clarify DSA status.
However, if i am not wrong, at yesterday Friday (2 August) interview -
out of 3 short-listed interviewees, 2 play Western instrument, one play Chinese instrument ( guzheng )
the 3 interviewees for Music, include (2 girls, 1 boy)
two girls : one from SAP primary school, another girl from Non-SAP primary school
boy : is from SAP primary school
