DSA 2022

I do agree that it does take a while for someone to do DSA. The process can be quite involved. However, the task is still easier than to do than \"study\" to excel in PSLE. Success in DSA means less stress on the student when preparing for PSLE, while may actually lead to the the student doing better in PSLE :xedfingers: . Of course there's the small chance that the student might become so complacent that he/she scores less than the score required for Express students.

Oh yes it’s really a tremendous effort to get a successful DSA. Both child and parents have to be committed.. it is not easier than studying as studying is pretty much expected. It’s extra work and there’s no guarantee that you will be successful.

Less stressed during psle, perhaps. However it may not be a good thing.. the children I know whom already gotten a CO, so far all of them had performed less than expected. Not so bad that they miss the express cut off points, but definitely less than what was projected from their prelims. -

Lol. Well, that's not my experience, but then again, on the flip side, getting that DSA is a thing of relief for them then, given their dismal PSLE performance

Excelling in PSLE becomes more of a matter of personal achievement goal, rather than a do-or-die objective. If someone does very well for PSLE while holding on to successful pending DSAs, we know that this person is truly talented and devoted to his/her personal goals. -
Dear parents,
MY DD is going through DSA this year and I have read through the DSA 2021/2020 and is halfway thru the DSA 2019 thread. I have learnt many useful information through the generous sharing of active parents and is most grateful. I do have a question i would like to ask as I cannot seem to find the answer to it in the past threads and MOE DSA information website.
May I ask if it is possible to try to DSA to the same secondary school to the same domain (Performing arts) two times? My DD is competent in 2 music instruments that her preferred secondary school offers under the performing art domain. All answers are very much appreciated and thankful in advance -

The category is Performing Arts; and
The talent area is Concert Band, Guzheng etc.
Hence, it’s possible to apply to the same secondary school using Performing Arts twice. Example:
Choice 1 - Performing Arts - Concert Band
Choice 2 - Performing Arts - Chinese Orchestra -
Dear all, looking for DSA for my DD. My daughter has been a class monitor in p5 as well as in p6. Is it ok to apply for her under ‘leadership’ ? She’s also good at visual arts. Not trained but has been advised by her art teacher to go for DSA visual arts. Please advise about schools towards west side. We are not that much serious about DSA but want to give a try under the above fields. Please help.

If you are not asking exactly which schools are good but want to check out which schools offers those DSA domains, you may go to this link, and open the “DSA” workbook. It will not display correctly if viewed from phone. View it from a computer instead

Dear Floppy,
Many thanks for your swift and clear answer. -

I would follow her Teacher’s recommendation to do visual arts! There’s probably a lot of head prefects and vice Head prefects eyeing leadership DSA.

Perhaps you can get a good idea which AL band your dd is going to be in using p5 results. Then pick the schools? There’s SOTA too, although not along the west. -
Dear parents,
Sorry I have another burning question to ask all of you. Once the MOE DSA online portal is closed and secondary schools done their own internal selection, the next step is to reach out to the primary schools to ask them for the report books (I presume).
So for this request, is this like a ‘live link’ that the primary school sent to the secondary school? As in every time the primary school administrators update via the cockpit, the secondary schools will ‘see’? Or it is a 1-time ‘dead’ upload of P1-July 2022 report book information and prelim results must be requested again?
Why I post such a weird question is that my friend told me that some secondary schools will wait until after Prelim results is out then decide the final
CO list.
Sorry this is such a technical and weird question to ask, pardon me if this isn’t the right forum page to post.
