      Hi, I just received the SMS and gmail regarding the DSA-Sec preferences. However, I am unsure how to submit the preferences online. My wife and I divorced and she isn't Singaporean or PR anymore and she is not a Passholder. So she does not have Singpass. It requires both parents to sign in to submit the preferences. What should I do?

      Hi, you can contact the General Office of your child's primary school. They should be able to help or direct you to the DSA teacher-in-charge.

      All the best.

      This is the answer. More specifically:

      https://www.moe.gov.sg/secondary/dsa/preferences/submit-preference-form-mainstream-primary-school-child

      https://www.moe.gov.sg/secondary/dsa/preferences/submit-preference-form-mainstream-primary-school-child?pt=Through%20school

      No need to call MOE or the secondary schools. Congrats and good luck!

        Dear All, able to have up to date info between both school, as we are deciding between VS or SJI.

        Both are "O" level program.

        DSA via Track & Field.

        Proximity will not be an direct issue, hence please advise.

          What is \"up to date\" info? All info should be up to date (probably has stayed the same for a number of years).

          Both are boys' schools. Both wear white / white (except for the lower sec).
          VS school fee is much lower than SJI as it's an autonomous school while SJI is an independent school (Singapore Citizen: VS - $23 per month, SJI - $340 per month).
          Both schools are also very old: SJI was founded in 1852 while VS was founded in 1876. Hence, there are generations and generations of SJI and VS old boys around. Both schools have produced numerous notable alumni.
          In terms of results, both schools' O Level programme are of comparable standards, although it's impossible to verify such info these days.
          For O Level students, VS is affiliated to VJC, while SJI is affiliated to CJC but not to SJI IB programme.
          In Track & Field, as a team, VS has always been much more competitive than SJI. Although for individual disciplines, it depends on the respective talent that the schools might have.

            Might also want to consider religious background if any and also SJI takes in slightly weaker students due to their affiliation COP allowance for S1 posting

              Does it means SJI is less demanding Academics compare to VS?

                Probably just means SJI O Level Median AL score might be slightly weaker compared to VS O Level Median AL score

                  To add on what others have said, my impression is SJI seem more prestigious. I feel if your boy is really into track and field, VS is the choice.

                    Your son plan to go overseas uni to study, next time? If Yes, then go SJI.

                    Why ?

                    At end of Sec 2, your son can transfer into IB (Sec 3). If he choose Victoria school, then IB (Sec 3) opportunity is gone.
