DSA 2022

Just to correct my earlier post, Cedar calls this domain “social innovation”. I believe that’s a more accurate term of what they’re looking for than “leadership”.

Inspirational leadership? Like Gandhi and Greta Thunberg, who started a movement and inspire millions to follow?

Man management is another type of leadership.

Hi all


Can I check what are the questions that might be asked for DSA through STEAM? And if it is very difficult to get in to NJC (Secondary) for DSA STEAM?

Also, can anyone please also share their experience for RV High School’s DSA through Design & Technology Innovation?

Thanks for the advice!

As the candidate’s results will be forwarded to the sec school he/she applied to, does anyone knows whether teachers’ comments in report book will also be visible?

Yes, everything, including your Teachers' comments. Whatever content appeared inside your school report card, will be uploaded into the DSA server, for Secondary school to see.

Do you mean the entire student life records up to this point as found on the report card will be visible to the secondary school?

Our mid-year report book entry only contains the results + form teacher’s comments. Traditionally it has been so & P6 was no exception (though I had thought it might be).


Perhaps the P6 CCA achievements would be in the MOE Cockpit system available to the secondary school, I dont know, but I for one will be kiasu and using up 1 field for this in the list of 10 “external achievements” just in case it is not sent over somehow.

For this,

I cannot answer you,

because

it depends from which year onwards your own primary school's General office has uploaded the data for DSA. I dont even know your kid study in which primary school. Is up to individual school, how they want to upload their data. Is it from

- from (P1 to P6), all 6 years of data been uploaded or

- from (P3 to P6), or

- from (P4 to P6), or

- just (P5 & P6), last 2 years only ?

Suggest that u kindly go back to your own primary school, clarify with your General Office, find out how many years data have been uploaded. This way, you will be very clear.

What you see inside your Report card, is what they get.

This means that
besides score marks alone, each subject upon 100, whatever comments the Form Teacher has written about your kid , whether comments written are good or bad inside the Report card, for the number of past years' data thats been uploaded into server by General office staff, Yes, the Secondary school panel of interviewers all can see. Can't hide.

Getting some advise here.

Is it true that applying DSA via sports will have a higher chance instead of DSA leadership.
Child is a captain of cca sports and a prefect.
Which domain gives her a higher chance?

Also will the sport domain look at her leadership as prefect to add more brownie points to her DSA sport domain.

Hope to get some insights . Thanks
