I think I saw in the ST article recently that the percentage of DSA-JC places goes up this year to 20% (from 10% previously) - hence their obligatory “marketing” feature on DSA-JC.

Leadership in secondary school would usually be reflected best if the student holds a core CCA (or prefectorial board CCA) leadership position. That’s what I think lah.[/quote]

Yes, 10% to 20% sounds like a big jump but is it, really? For JC that purely take in via O Level results, the 10% increase would probably be significant but for RI / HCI? Meh.

Let’s say HCI (JC) takes in 1,000 a year with HCI and NYGH contributing 400 each. That leaves 200 places for everyone else. An increase of 10% places only resulted in a net increase of 20 places. Hardly makes a big difference.

If there is Singaporean like this Swedish girl, I think will be accepted by any school through DSA leadership

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greta_Thunberg

Not a big fan of her but her list of personal achievements and recognitions is more than the 10 places given by MOE to fill leh. Furthermore, they are mainly at an international and national level, not at the prefectorial board and school level. Of cos will be accepted by any school lah

Her style of vehement & outspoken protest may not be valued by a traditional school like HCI.

Dear All,


As the original intent of this \"DSA 2022\" set up (created) is meant for P6 students applying DSA to Secondary schools,

Kindly discuss \"DSA, into Junior Colleges\" in another thread, that has been newly created, here

https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=102582

Thank you for cooperation,

Because

We do Not want to confuse P6 parents with Sec 4 parents, wondering which DSA Age group people here are discussing about. Thank you

=====================

Hi bbbay,

Since you are the one that started talking about DSA into JCs, kindly continue your conversation over there ( newly created thread ), so that we do not disturb P6 parents here. Thank you, for co operation


Hi zac mom,

I’m sure she will have her audiences and supporters.

That said, if they truly goes back to their “traditional” roots, there is no more “vehement & outspoken protest” school in Singapore compared to HCI leh. No other schools in Singapore took part or led more protests (as well as riots) compared to HCI (under its predecessor)

I didn't even know there's such a thing as \"JC DSA\"


Need to broaden my scope a little. :nunchuk:

The discussion here, apart from one question, is the “quality” required for JC DSA, which I’m sure is as applicable to secondary school DSA as JC DSA, albeit at a different level of expectations.

From DSA leadership quality perspective, if I may continue the discussion of the Swedish girl here. Maybe someone will see something special in her: she is still raw due to her young age. It is precisely she is so young yet she willing to go that far and speak up. She possesses some rare quality and also some rough edges , to be polished and shine later when she become older. Under proper mentorship she may contribute in a large scale

There was another school. Those were turbulent times during the colonial era

My dad came from the other Chinese school and during those turbulent times he was a student in that school....
