But their Cut Off for the Past Few years has been 260 and Above ....

Considering that, If Your Child Score 200, Would You Want them to Be in the School?
So To Ease Tension ALL Round (Our Kid, T, Parents, School), Advisable to Assess our Kids Results First Before Trying for DSA in These schools ....
If Not Mistaken, Heard got Kid in the Range of 240 Plus / Minus Accepted ....
If Not There R still Other Reputable Sec Schools with Lower Cut Off to Consider for DSA ....

In the Application, still have to submit our kids Academic results for P5 and P6.

So the school Already got 1st sieving process internally.
But if got Confirmed Letter. The School will Honour their Offer even when PSLE results below their cut-Off (but must be above 200 points Express Stream cut off).

But ....
Like I Mentioned B4, If the Kid Got Results in the 200 points region, would U wish to Stressed them, to place them in a School with the 250 to 260 points kids?

Even for DSA under academic Results, Schools Not Necessary will offer every kid who meet their Cut-off, as well.
Know of GEP school Kids who R Not Offered in DSA. But they Get in Later with their PSLE results. Becoz in Join Admission Exercise, as long as PSLE Score is above the school cut off for that year, they will be offered a place in the school.

Hi EveryOne,



My Gal is in P6 this Year and Doing Well in Both Her Chinese Dance and Gym. Have discussed with her to try for DSA using both Chinese Dance (NYGH) and Gym (RGS) later this year ....

:celebrate: :celebrate:

Hi, what kind of achievement must they have in Chinese dance before being accepted into NYGH via dance DSA ?

Also for gym, altho my girl is also doing gym, but I do not have intention for her to be very good in it because I am worry of injuries. So my intention is only for her to do it at a recreational level. What is your thought and experience on that.

Regards,

Depends on School.
But DSA thru dance is Very Tough.

2 years ago, one of my Gal's Senior try DSA at NYGH. Her Mum Say that year 200+ Gals try and Only 2 were selected.
Unfortunately, Not Her Gal. Her Gal is in Grade 9 in NAFA and has been in school Chinese dance Team. Her school has won numerous awards in SYF.
But So Does Many Other Schools in Spore.

Last Year, Heard from My Gal's Dance T one of her students Selected for DSA to NYGH. Heard She impressed the school selection Panel with her \"Very Expressive\" dance items during Audition.
She's in Grade 9 Chinese Dance.

Don't know the numbers trying, since have not met the kid's mum. but imagine should be about the same applicants.
My Gal says Many of her school mates in Chinese Dance R trying for DSA this year in NYGH, and She wanted to Join them. That's Why Giving it a try.
Did Reminded her that she need to prepare for the Audition, etc. But she says it'll be fun to go Audition, etc with ALL her friends ....

Yes Gym is Prone to Injury.

My Gal has Numerous Injuries, Big and Small, since she started training for Competitive Gym.
The Most Serious one is when she Fell and have a >4\" Lacerations below her Lips when she's in P2.
During those Days, she started crying before Gym sessions. But Like what the Gym Coach says, she has to pick up at where she's fallen. When she's started training, albeit at a slower pace, she's OK.
It's just a psychological Barrier she has to overcome.
And in that year, Her Team came in Second for the Inter-school.

Others R mostly sprains and over-worked Muscle Pains to her Knees, her Ankles, Her Back, Her Wrist, Her Bloody Palms (due to Constant friction while working out on the Uneven Bars) ....

Now, I've Become more proficient in Massages with the constant practice ....
