I understand that in Y5, term 1 in RI only starts in Feb. Can I check if students will need to return to school in January? Any parents can share the school schedule for Y5 for Jan. Thanks.

For GCE “O” level students trying to DSA into RI, via “Sports” domain at end of Sec 4 -

if your Sec 4 results are mediocre, not advisable to attempt entering RI, via the DSA " Sports " route.

Why ?

Because
A-level preparation, for O level students, is effectively a very short, intensive, stressful 1.5 years. If you DSA via Sports, your commitment to Sports Cca is intensive! End up leaving you no time, to prepare for your A-level prep. Unless you are an exceptional student in terms of grasping 4 H2 A level subjects’ concepts well, and excel in your time management coping.

But,
if you can’t manage your time well, end up struggling with H2 subjects, you may end up either repeat your JC (1), or don’t do well in your actual final A-level.
