Thank you K-Mum. Can you share the profile of students that these school look for for Leadership DSA? My DD is Chairman of her CCA and Exco prefect lead for School Welfare. Done community services and volunteer at several charities. But some no certs given. Wondering if these are enough?

Err, I do not really know since I do not know the profiles of others that got in.
My DD’s profile quite similar - Student Council EXCO member, leadership position in a uniform group and other stuff.
My view (may not be true) is that the profile is only used to shortlist the candidates for interview. Performance in the interview is prob the most important criteria for selection cos I presume most of those they shortlist hv quite similar profiles.
Leadership assessment is more holistic, unlike sports or academic where u gets medals, certs and rankings.

Thanks K-Mum. I suppose no harm trying. So the interview could be the deciding factor here. Thanks again for your views. Much appreciated.

Hello! Would like to ask about leadership DSA into Junior College. My girl is considering DSA, but we are unsure if she can be shortlisted and there is not much information on the leadership aspect. She holds a leadership position, but not student council/ prefect. Will Jcs still consider? If she is in exco for the other leadership group, is there a chance?


Also is there any information on leadership dsa? Are there any other things to add into the portfolio. Thanks! :imcool:

Which are the JCs stronger in girls’ hockey and can someone share their experience in hockey DSA? Thanks!

There isn’t a lot of info about the leadership aspect because JC are generally not short of leadership candidates. For the IP JCs and popular JCs, they already have their regular feed. You can try, but best not to put in too much hope. It’s better to depend on the O Level results and -4 points bonus.

For both boys and girls, generally RJ and VJ (although EJC was a finalist in A Div girls last year comp and ACJC girls has been consistently very good as well).

DSA sports from secondary to JC relatively straightforward since there are fewer, likely none, unknown entities. The seniors and coaches will likely point the way.
