2010 DSA(Direct School Admission)

[MdmKS]

In the NJC email they mentioned, an optional reference form to get a referee to fill-in. Is it OK to choose not to submit? Time is running up with PSLE oral this week . Thinking of getting the teachers to fill-up but they are so busy now …

Need not be a P6 teacher...can also be his CCA teacher i/c or even P4 / P5 teacher whom he has left a good impression with.

Main thing is just get it done and NOT live to regret later!! :celebrate:

No news for us too. Juz told DD not to feel disheartened as opportunities are everywhere, if you work hard enough & DSA or not....

Scoobybdoo and Cascada,


Agree with both of you that it is sure not easy to be a parent nowadays. We worry over our kids much more than our parents did over us, given the school environment is so much more complicated now.

Hey, you guys are not alone. I am sure that there are many more parents out there who share your sentiments.

All the best to you and your kids!

called NJC just now…was told that the DAY activity is just like some team games, not difficult one.


BTW, anyone can email me the reference form? failed to download it from their webpage

Thanks

Cascado and Scoobydoo,

As parents, we will have to put up a brave front cos we do not want them to be discouraged or upset especially at this stage when they need to be at their personal best.

I wld agree with Srtparent that the DSA process is a good exposure for the kids but for most parents, it is also hell to pay when you hv to prepare your child for the tests and interviews and also manage their expectations. It certainly is not an easy thing to do.

We all know there’s many other opportunities out there for them. This is a fact! But we are all worried for their hearts cos u don’t want them to be overly disappointed over this if it doesn’t work out. That’s just part and parcel of being a parent.

I wish these bright 11-12 year olds don’t have to face such challenges so early in life but that the way it is here so we don’t hv a choice but to guide them along.

I wish everyone good luck and all the best.

Do you know how many students got selected for the 2nd round at NJC out of 690 that applied? Also, those selected will go through both day activity and interview, right?
