Hi,

for DSA sports, child usually is AL10. Wants to apply to IP under 2 schools with cutoff for IP is 8 points, and O level track cutoff is 9M/10.

1)During DSA application, shld we put \"No Preference\", will \"No Preference\" increase the chance of getting an offer?

2)Or if put under \"IP Track\", will they just reject if they think he is not suited for IP and won't offer the O level track?

4)Should there be an offer for O level track, after PSLE results if child gets 8/7/6/5 are we able to appeal to go to IP Track?

MotherHere,

You refering to Catholic High,
DSA Sports domain ?

Under the option,
ask your son to click <No Preference>.

1)

if your son has been short-listed, after attended CHS interview, the panel of DSA decision makers will then make a decision.

Assuming that your son is offered either a CO or Wait-list, CHS will decide whether to put him into IP or O-level track, after careful evaluation.

2)
Don't worry about your P6 son's school exam AL 10.

During interview,
the panel of DSA interviewers will look at the name of his primary school. From there, they will know the standard of his primary school, and where his AL 10, actually stand.


3)
In the event if your son is offered O-level track DSA instead of IP, your question was :-

can your son then request for a transfer into IP, assuming that his PSLE results released in Nov 2023, actually qualify him for Catholic High (IP) admission ?

The answer is,
If this incident were to happen, and if you have already accepted the DSA offer (for O-level track), u can proceed to appeal.

But, whether there still exist vacancies for your son to transfer into IP, or not, that will depend on

who else (other P6 students), apart from your son, are also appealing concurrently for the same thing. Hence, No guarantee.

However,
at end of Sec 2,
CHS definitely welcome O-level track students to switch over, transfer into IP, if they are still interested in IP, two years' later.

Thanks for sharing.

May I check should we put IP only, will there still be chance where they will inform that they reject IP but will offer O level?

MotherHere,

When u submit DSA form, choose the option \"No preference\". Do not choose the option, \"IP only\".

Let the DSA panel decide, what to offer to your son.

When u choose \"No preference\" -

If CHS DSA panel feel that your son is suitable for IP, they will offer him IP. Otherwise, they will offer him O-level track instead. They will offer your son one and only one option, assuming he is successful for DSA.

When they offer him that time, inside the CO or Waitlist,

they will inform u very clearly, outfront :-

Is it IP or O-level track, that CHS school is offering your son.
