Besides ACSI, which other Secondary schools also conduct on-site OH, this year (2022) ?

Catholic High 21st May 9am-12nn (more details at their website).

NUS High 21st May (mentioned by Wonderment at KSP’s NUS High thread).

There are only a few Saturdays from now until June (which is when the DSA portal will close, I believe):
9th April - ACSI
16th April - ?
23rd April - ?
30th April - ?
(Early May - DSA portal opens?)
7th May - ? (Unlikely P6s free to attend, cos cramming for SA1s following week)
14th May - ? (Most schools’ P6 SA1s over, very hot date #1)
21st May - Catholic High, NUS High, ……(very hot date #2)
28th May - ? (June holidays start. Not sure if secondary school staff still working then)

Not exactly what you are asking for but here's what I have down as of now. For those schools in the third bucket, I have seen some info claiming e-open house (for many of them) on 30 April, 21 May, or 28 May, but I'm not sure where the dates came from or if they are verified (I guess someone may have called up the schools).

I guess people can copy/update as the info comes out...


Confirmed in-person Open House:
9 April - ACS(I)
16 April - ?
23 April - ?
30 April - ?
7 May - ?
14 May - ?
21 May - CHS, NUSH
28 May - ?


Confirmed e-open house:
9 April - SOTA
23 April - RVHS, TJC
30 April - SNGS
21 May - RGS


Didn't see info on website:
Cedar Girls
Dunman High
HCI
MGS
NYGH
NJC
RI
SCGS
SJI
VS

Looks like RI added Malay Language as a DSA domain this year. A few talented and interested 12-year old boys may have just struck gold...

Thanks! It’s a good compilation.


I think I was just wanting to point out that, if any parents are hoping for physical open houses by other schools in the next few Saturdays in April, very unlikely. Firstly, very little time left to plan it. Secondly, the secondary school kids who help to run the booths/tours are probably having their own mid-year exams in April?

So it is more likely that the physical open houses will all be clustered in those 2 Saturdays of May. Good luck if you are considering several schools as you will have to run to several sites in those 2 weekend mornings. That was probably my point/headsup. Best reschedule those enrichment/tuition lessons lah.

RGS you mean?

I think it is still early and schools are rushing to set up physical open houses. There will definitely be a lot more in a couple of weeks time.

No, the link is for RI and it lists the 2022 DSA domains. Historically, RI has only had EL and no MTLs. This year, they have added ML.

The information in the MOE School Finder is still showing the 2021 DSA domains. Sometimes domains are added or removed so people need to check the actual domains offered on the school website and/or once the portal opens/MOE School Finder is updated.

For RGS Maths - website says

Shortlisted candidates - Carry out a hands-on activity in a collaborative setting.

Any idea what do they do?

Thanks

Typically, MOE School Finder will be updated about a month before DSA application starts.
By now, some schools may have already finalised their talent areas, while others might not.
Academic talent areas are typically more 'stable' while sports / performing arts tend to be more volatile. Some could be available last year, but not this.
