DSA 2024

. Is there a cut off points for DSA? I googled and some schools are silent on the this while some say so long as you make it for express cut off (ie posting group 3 I think or AL22?)
For this qns, It will be AL22 if you have been awarded the Confirm offered.
Being said that, Top IP school will look at your P5 results to determine if they will offer you the CO. -
Hi Parents,
What’s the criteria to DSA for Chinese dance?
My DD has ballet background and sport CCA .
She wants to pursue Chinese dance in sec school.
Thanks -
DD is very tall. Academic is normal. Good & CCA @ Netball.
Any chances if DD through Netball DSA to RGS if her academic is just normal?
Know that RGS COP 4-6 (IP only). -

perhaps,
3 or 4 points away from AL 6 (the official Cut off point, for RGS), still ok (acceptable). But, cannot exceed beyond 10 points.
Why ?
Because
1) managing RGS rigorous IP curriculum, is Top most priority.
Not ask you to come in, play Sports, play until ... cannot even cope nor manage RGS curriculum anymore.
If like that, to be honest, then u are better off taking O-level track instead, in some other O-level Secondary school. You also don't want to see your own daughter struggling inside RGS. -
If a child’s grades are only considered normal, it is strongly advised not to rely on DSA through arts and sports to enter a top-tier school. Even if they manage to get in, it could be overwhelming.
DSA has never been a shortcut. -
Thanks for Phtthp & Koudayao27 reply

Hi. Have to check with respective schools. In general should not be. For RgS, no cca commitments for DSA community leadership. They just have extra roles on values-in-action project. Also will be allocated “Community problem-solving” during research modules. (something like that)

Depends on the school. Some schools require the students to join Uniformed Group CCA (e.g., IIRC Dunman High) while there is no such commitment required for some other schools (e.g., IIRC RI).

Can I check to DSA Leadership, will being a CCA Exco, class chairperson be enough to qualify? Not a prefect like other. What do they look for for leadership?

It depends on the school and the profile of the students who apply for Leadership in that school.
Can I check to DSA Leadership, will being a CCA Exco, class chairperson be enough to qualify? Not a prefect like other. What do they look for for leadership?
Some examples:-
Dunman High

RI

River Valley High
https://www.rivervalleyhigh.moe.edu.sg/information/faqs/
Schools will usually look at various factors other than the Leadership portfolio, e.g., academic, performance during interviews, personal statement (if required).
If it is the child's dream school, go for it.
All the best. -

Hi all
Wonder what type of profile will stand a better chance for RGS or NYGS Maths DSA? Thanks in advance! -
Hi I’m looking at the MOE DSA website to search for which school can my daughter apply for concert band.
https://www.moe.gov.sg/secondary/dsa/eligibility
Now I’m confused. Schools like NJC and TJC didn’t come out when I ticked for IP. But it came out as concert band without IP. I thought these schools only offer IP? The only school that came out when I ticked IP is SCGS. Please enlighten me, first time applying for DSA. -

Njc website shows concert band for both IP DSA and JC DSA on their website. Another way to check is using MOE school finder and filter by choice of DSA

Both NJC and TJC are Co-Ed, when you search the moe website, the selection limited to only Concert Band -Girls (IP) or Concert Band - Boys (IP), but not for \"Concert Band - Boys & Girls (IP)\"
