Is it only some schools will send acknowledgement email?

Yes only some schools will send acknowledgement.


However you should have received acknowledgement from the main MOE DSA portal during application which will state your preferences.

Yes, this is not a common practice across all schools. Some schools don't sent anything out unless necessary.

I don't see any updates on RGS or NYGH DSA notifications on this forum or other parents chat groups on FB. Does anyone know if this means the notifications have not been sent or we just don't hear from parents who have received notifications on it?

I think this is normal as these 2 schools haven't been the forerunners in the DSA if u look at the DSA threads from the past few years . In fact, they are usually amongst the last few schools to issue CO/WL/rejections. I would suggest keeping an open mind and give them another 2 weeks to \"react\". All the best in the mean time!

Hi all. I wanted to send my query to the JSA thread but that thread has been dead for two years now. So I’m posting here as DSA is of secondary relevance to my query.


My son is currently in P5. Studying in Keming and that’s because of travel convenience. At Keming he’s in the Boys Brigade. He loves sports - been training and playing competitive rugby union with an external club for 6 years since he was 4 and been training and playing competitive tennis since 7. On top of that he has done one year of JSA (two terms - softball and track and field). Now we received a strange and unexpected email from the good JSA folks a few days ago. The email is an “Invitation to join the JSA One-year Track and Field programme in the 2nd JSA year” (actual subject of email) asking whether he’d like to forgo two terms of rotational sports and focus on Track and Field for the remainder (one year / two terms) of his JSA programme. Training is at Singapore Sports School which is a bummer due to distance (school in Woodlands). We don’t know how to approach this because TnF has never been in our radar (plan was trial for rugby and tennis at one school, and then rugby for another school; but both comes with own risks/issues: tennis is incredibly competitive and rugby has high injury risk especially in secondary school) and would like to seek opinions/advise especially those with similar experience.

Sooo… has someone been through this ie sports specialisation via JSA before? How does DSA for Track & Field work? There is a call this weekend with the JSA folks (apparently specialisation only for track and field, water polo/flippaball and fencing) but wanted to get perspectives apart from JSA.

Hearsay JSA program is like an unofficial recruitment drive for Singapore Sports School. Fine if he is completely interested in specializing in TnF for the remainder (and commit to the commute), but if he has no interest in DSA to SSP then i would just let it go (probably choose the rotational sports option).

I doubt the specialized TnF program will even be good enough to DSA to other schools with. Usually need some medals and unless the program sends them to some high level comps, nah…
