Any one know how many will eventually get in per subject domain? My boy is going for the science.

The email said parents can wait at the canteen & the guard will let us know where to park, but I am wondering if there are going to be allocated parking us as we are very far from RI, don't think I am driving home & back again.

Any parents with experience to share?

NO allocated parking.

A few hundreds of \"short-listed\" P6 boys, will attend the Science academic test.

For RI (Science domain),
around 10 to 20+ boys, will be offered DSA \"Science\" domain.

Every batch, differs.
No fixed number of DSA offer, to Science. This number is NOT fixated by the DSA selection panel.

Example

If that year, the P6 batch happen to have more boys talented in Science,
then
more DSA offer(s) will be issued. Otherwise, No.

You can choose not to wait at the canteen. After you drop your son, you can drive to somewhere where you can wait in the car and wait for him finish his interview and contact you to pick him up.

Maybe some boys don’t have HP yet at P6 age. And the other parent is not free to help out. Alternative is to take taxi/private hire vehicle.

Yes. Another way is to agree on a specific time to pick up your kid as there is a fixed time range for the interview/trial stated in the email from the school. It all depends on your kid. Some kids really need parents to be around as confidence booster while others may feel the added pressure of parents around.

for the 2022 academics (incl science) dsa students, there were no mandatory ccas. however, these students are \"strongly encouraged\" to join their affiliated ccas.

fyi - the kid (y1 2023) says only 1 of his academic dsa classmates in his class joined their affilated cca.

best of luck
