Hello all parents. Would like to know if SST sends out emails only for those who got CO and WL or are they still sending out emails currently? Thanks!

No, they sent out all, including for unsuccessful DSA, but in batches across yesterday. Not sure when they completed all emails. Suggest to check your junk/spam, just in case if still have not received.

Thank you stevensim. Turns out there was a technical issue. Received CO a few minutes ago.

Hi may i know any of your DD/DS is going to SST next year and stay at Tampines? would like to know how your DD/DS go or can share transport? Thanks.

hi boon5548, my DS got CO for SST - would you like to message me? let’s see if we can work out something.

Got the CO for SST as well.


Any parents using private bus transport for the morning trip from Yishun/north area to SST?

The morning trips are probably fixed in timing. For the return trips, perhaps my son will take the public transport back or get mummy to pick him up.

Got CO as well. Any WhatsApp/Telegraph group? Thanks.

Congrats to all who has received a CO for SST.

My son is in P5 and he is very keen to apply for this school next year. May I ask - with the new DSA portal in place, did you still need to submit a very extensive portfolio? Is SST looking for a personal statement? Thanks in advance.

My son only submitted his certificate for the Math and Science Olympiad participation, he did not win any medal except for the p6 math olympiad (Bronze), but the p6 math olympiad result was only released after the portfolio submission. Other than that, his Math is AL1 consistently through the years, whereas his science hovers between AL 2-3 in p5/p6. His school science teacher in p5/p6 was always on leave/mc, so he have some difficulties catching up on science. The extended HBL due to COVID also didnt help much.

I do think that SST probably place more emphasis on the phase 1 and 2 e-quiz/challenge, especially the phase 2 , where the applicant participate in grp discussion to solve a grp task etc. So it's important that the applicant is confident enough to speak up and also take into consideration other participants' input.

As parents, we didnt prep my son for any DSA, we just seek his opinion if he would like to try for SST DST, since he have interests in Math/Science, solving math prob and he's always asking question about science and strong interests in reading up science magazine. He have no tuitions since pri 1, so it's all his personal effort that he was able to get the SST CO.

Thanks for your comprehensive answer Wilscrub! Remarkable results without tuition is really something.

Good luck for his coming PSLE!
Stay safe everyone!
