      Hi parents, my gal is in waiting list under her favourite sports CCA and no other offers/waiting list. So when she submits her 4 choices, can she still apply CCAs that she tried out but got no offers or in waiting list? Any insights?Understand that one Uniformed group is compulsory. Thanks

        Hi TiaUrch, think can based on one of the scenarios in the CCA selection briefing slides. U can access the slides from iNet portal .

          Hi,

          My girl is just lost the second last one of her name tags in yr 4, and I don’t want to bother her too much and make things essier as she is very stressed with studies. Does anyone know where to buy the name tags that rgs will allow, do you buy in the school or somewhere outside as well? Hers has to be red i think,
          thank you very much everyone

                    The selection and interview process this year is likely to be very different from past years given the current situation we are in. In the past, its a short group interview of 10-15min (each student does not really have much time to talk!). Some will go for the 1/2 day program later which include written test (essay writing etc). Some actually go direct for 1/2 day program without going through the interview.


                    Doubt they will conduct group interview or 1/2 day program this year. Its best you check out the new format.

                      This covid year 2020 caused the new DSA Selection criteria to be different, from past years. Check with RGS DSA officer-in-charge, what is the new format going to be like.

                      In the event,
                      RGS do away with these DSA subject tests, for those who have applied under \"Academic\" domain, as that would imply

                      Several hundreds of P6 girls going to turn up at their respective primary schools to take academic subject tests, which will cause a big headache to the huge amount of co-ordination work involved, between RGS Admin department with more than 100 primary schools admin department in Singapore,

                      sometimes even more un-necessary burden involved, as some P6 students may call up RGS admin, request to change RGS subject test date to another date, because timing clashed with another Secondary school's DSA test, etc.


                      that means

                      the virtual online e-interview conducted at your own primary school premises, is the most important determinant factor, as to whether get CO / Wait list or otherwise (rejection).

                      As covid-19 is asymtomatic, even though outwardly display no sympton whatsoever yet still can be a contagious virus transmitter, unlikely that RGS will conduct any Face-to-Face Round 2 mini small group discussion anymore, as been done previously last year 2019

                        And some very good ones go to the interview in the beginning of the season, and then nothing, until the CO at the end of the season.
