DSA 2022

[iRabbit]

Personally, I feel that there’s no issue applying for 2-3 sch. The DSA experience is a good way for the kid to learn more about a school. If the vibes were negative during the DSA experience, then by all means decline the CO, even if it’s the only one.


Open Houses are mass events while the DSA exercise may offer a more personal experience from a kid’s perspective. Let the kid decide after his DSA experience. I feel that the world is grey and not everything can or should be defined by hard-and-fast rules beforehand.

I believe that much depends on the school but I suspect that most will consider P5 SA2 and P6 MYE results.

Next year there is no P6 SA1, only Prelim? If so, schools only have one "full exam" (P5 SA2) to consider. All the rest will be WAs, CAs, etc.

All academic results, as long as recorded in the report book, can be viewed by the school the child has applied to. I believe all p5 and 6 results are fair game.

once your primary school Admin staff uploaded all Report card results, ranging from P1 to P6 mid year exam in May, for DSA purpose -

all Secondary school officers in charge of those maximum allowed attempt,
ie.

three DSA schools which your child had applied for,
are able to see everything, in great lengthy detail.
There is absolutely NO way to hide from them, once everything (info) has been uploaded, into the database server,
regardless whether your kid's results are good, or no good.

A parent has earlier shared in this thread that her DD received a CO for RGS Leadership this year. She is a head prefect with some involvement in the community work.

All the best.

This is a common FAQ (Frequently asked qn), regarding RGS DSA,
Because

many parents always very keen for their P6 daughters, to get into RGS.


One parent already shared this answer, in this thread. You may go back, to refer.

Best guess is that RGS Chinese is low (maybe mid?) single digits number of spots, and that the standard to be shortlisted is very high. I'd say even among the AL1s and Distinctions in CL and HCL, there will be some clear separation as it applies to this domain. If placing very high in some of the competitions, probably a reasonable chance to get shortlisted. But competition for the COs/WLs will be very strong.

Good luck!
