Hi am really new to this -> wondering if we're able to get a list of activities that pri sch submits to MOE so that we don't duplicate the same in the submission?

Does the school usually provide this list or we just have to guess?

TIA for advice!

Is the selection test also considered one of the 3 schools we apply for in DSA?

Yes, you need to apply for NUSH - Math or NUSH - Science with one of the three choices.

May I ask is there differences in selection camp activities for NUSH science and math domain ?

Anyone registered for CHS open house and gotten confirmation sms? Wondering if they have already sent out. So far have not received anything.

I am trying to search for answer and chance upon this. My DS received an invitation to apply DSA to RI today, the letter was sent directly to his school. He won medals in the recent NSG T&F which was just concluded on Wed. We are very surprise to receive the letter too, didnt know got such thing as invitation to apply.

We asked if he wants to continue doing T&F in sec school. He said he doesn’t mind to continue to do T&F but if given a choice, he would like to join the school debate team. He has AL score of 5 + Merit for HMT in his P5 SA2. He also has MO certs but not the gold type as he never attend any MO training. We are still in dilemma if we should apply DSA or to try to get in good schools via his own PSLE result….we are not sure if we want him to go thru Sports route. Anyone has similar experience can share?
I know invitation is not a confirm seat, but chances should be relatively high esp with his consistent school result.

Follow his heart desire.


Didn’t your son mention that if given a choice, he would prefer debate ?
See, debate is his first choice, not this track & field thing. He should be able to enter RI by PSLE score and attend debate audition when 2023 Sec 1 start.

Must stand firm, on what your son truly wants. Worse, if RI were to give your son track and field CO, and this not really what he wants, then end up he will be in dilemma : should he accept RI (CO) or not, in Track & field ? And If he were to accept the CO, will be miserable, if tied down to something he half hearted only, for the next 6 years ahead.

Frankly, if debate is what he wants, then just go for a good Secondary school that offers DSA (debate), regardless of RI or any other good Secondary school. Ask your son to answer this qn honestly :-
For the next 6 years ahead :-
If school were to offer him debate vs. Track and field, which one will he go for ?

Your son, cannot bluff himself
