Hi. Unfortunately, I don't think this question can be generically answered, and even if it can it still depends on the individual student.

For sports, it's really a question of how good the kid is. Some may be a near lock (i.e. highly ranked national player), others may have little to no shot. For leadership, the issue is there are 185 primary schools, all with prefects and CCA leaders. Of course, some will have more in their portfolio while others have less, so again it depends on the kid.

Also depends on the targeted school(s), as some will be flooded with applications while others won't receive quite as many.

I guess one more day to go until the application window closes. Good luck!

Thanks! Indeed this DSA is not easy to strategize when we only have 3 choices to fill.

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.

Hi Phtthp, sorry to ride on this chat, I have emailed the primary school.

This is what i got as a reply \"DSA Portal will only extract P5 and P6 data. Every child is allowed to submit an extra 10 entries when applying for DSA.\"

Does this mean that those awards my child had received from P1-P4, I need to key into the 10 entries? or all previous awards P1-P4 are not applicable for DSA application?

Thanks

Be careful of those scams...I have received a few calls claiming they are from the High Court of Singapore and I hang up immediately.

Er…i assume that since the portal has closed, the info has gone out to the secondary schools already…there are some schools conducting sports trials during this June hols, so I assume the panels are already sieving out the applicants? Or maybe they will wait for most teachers to come back from their overseas holidays?

Haha thx. Calling from “High Court” I will hang up. But this one said “I’m calling from [voice so soft cannot hear the name]…” I had to very politely ask her to repeat… :frustrated:

Thanks Floppy, ok so it seems like sports domain looks like it has a higher chance. Hopefully with the add on leadership roles the child has, it will make the DSA application stands out more.

All the best to all!

Unfortunately, no.

Add-on leadership roles won’t make the DSA sports application stands out. It’s the medals and trophies that will do the job. It’s the results that count.

Wow, you even listen long enough to reach \"high court\". I would pick up the phone, keep quiet, until the robocall kicks in and then the number gets banned without fuss. Didn't even hear them say high court

[Liew Nga Wing]

Banned the number is also no use as the scammer can always use a new number to reach us.
