Hi, may I ask

does the individual schools know what other schools the child has placed her/his dsa school choices?

They can ask u these qns, during the process interview itself.

Be mentally prepared,
especially
if is those \"one to one\" interview kind.

Even in a \" group \" interview setting, with about 4 students, per group, they can also ask u same qns, going round each student inside the group patiently, one by one. That means, everybody will hear one another answers. And as each candidate talk, amongst them, one of the interviewers will observe quietly & jot down what & how the candidates have replied (answered), while the other interviewer keep asking qns. The scenario is like (equivalent to) attending PSLE Chinese Oral session. One invigilator is a keen listener
(quiet observer ) while the other keep asking candidates Oral questions.

During the \"interview\" itself, some interviewers can ask you directly, towards the end of the interview :-

1) so, can tell us, besides our school, which other DSA schools, did u also concurrently apply for,
And
for which domain ?

Just tell them the truth.
Cannot tell lie,
because
they can easily verify the info, if need be. After all, All Secondary schools are inter- connected, via Moe centralised database system. At the mere click of a keyboard button, all assesible info can be readily retrieved out (extracted out), and verified upon.

If u think your P6 child going to fumble when asked such questions during the interview, then safer to rehearse at home your own model answer(s) a few times first, before attending the actual interview.

2) if these other DSA schools were to offer CO, besides our school also offer u CO, what is your \" preferred \" choice, and why ?

Example

say, u have applied for (RI + Hwa Chong + NUS High), which quite a number of students did. Then, must prepare your own model answer script first, for this.


3) Do you have any questions, for us ?

==========≈=============

In \"group\" interview setting, usually they put 4 students, from different primary schools together in one group. Unlikely that, they put students from the same primary school together, in the same group

Anyway, 1 qn on personal experience of community programme u have been in. Same question asked to each girl (group of 4)

Then, given a question for all 4 to discuss. Can’t remember I think to do with stress or something. My daughter also forgot. Recall she had some contribution on mental health somewhere

Everything done in a rushed 30min

Hi, anyone can share what to expect during a dance audition?

Will they have space and time to warm up?
Seems that may take about 1-2h.
Thanks!

Thank you !

My child went for last year DSA interview, during the interview, some school did ask which other schools she applied DSA and which school she got shortlisted. Few days after interview, the school teacher called me and asked if I've gotten any confirm offer from other schools. So I believed not all info shared within MOE portal.

[Mr.025413Clumsy]

For the DSA interviews which my child has attended, I don’t think they asked which other schools he had applied for. They were more keen to know about his experience in the domain, interests, what he sees himself doing in school and why he chose that particular school.

I plan to wait till NUSH test results out first. If cleared, then likely I will email NUSH to ask if there’s alternative timings. If don’t clear, then no issues.
I think the schools know there’s clashes.
Like for RI the other day, they knew some kids need to rush off to NUSH, so they asked those kids to leave the hall first, ahead of the rest.
