DSA 2024

[Anxious irene]

Hi parents,


DS is super interested in Maths/Science. Looking at DSA into NUSH. He says he wants to give it a try.

Looked through the website, it mention something like submit portfolio, may i know what is this portfolio that NUSH is looking for?

Also DS is a prefect and Vice-captain for his track and field. Looking at DSA leadership as well. Can any parents enlighten us, is DSA through leadership tough? DS looking at VS. Any idea what VS is looking at for leadership?

Thanks all in advance.

Isn’t NUSH open house tomorrow? Try asking the teachers and students in person there.

Any instances of schools making offers of a different domain from the one applied? Eg apply under leadership but offered academic instead?

Of course Not !

If you never apply for that domain in the first case, why would a Secondary school out of the blue, suddenly offer you something, when u never even apply in the first case ?

You are mistaken

However, below case CAN happen.

Example

Apply to RGS, one same Secondary school, but under 2 different domain.

1) apply for Academic (example English)

2) apply for Leadership, concurrently.

After attending all academic tests, after attending all the interview, in the end, RGS offered this P6 .... Leadership, not Academic (English).

Yes ! This can happen.
However, note that this happen because this pupil did & have applied for 2 different, separate domain. And turn out that, she is successful for one, but not the other. Clear ?

Hi parents, can share experience on DSA art application for NJC (art elective), SJI (visual art) and VS (art elective)?

1) What credentials each school is looking at for P5/P6 results? My son’s school dont have WA1 for P6 but non-weighted test - will this count as well?
2) What to take note of application submission for each school? Any specific area we shall make sure we highlight in the submission?
3) For those shortlisted for interviews, what AL were in P5? What questions and art works required during interview for each school
Thanks

For SJI Visual Art DSA, after MOE portal closes, school will send follow-up email to all the applicants (regardless of grades), to request submission of portfolio:

1) Folder A: 10 artworks showing observational strengths (applicant may submit artworks achieving realism and details of varying mediums such as 2D pencil drawings or digital illustration, 3D sculptures, etc)

2) Folder B: 5-10 artworks showing creativity and imagination (applicant may submit artworks that show original ideas developed in varying mediums such as short animations, 2D storyboards, etc)

After they evaluate the portfolio, they will invite their selected ones for a drawing test. Not sure whether got interview or not.

Hi Parents,

Am wondering whether NYGH need the student to have academic test for Arts domain DSA except report book result?

[TC_Parents]

Thanks so much for the inputs to my questions. So for SJI, need to submit a total of minimal 15 art pieces as such?
