Hi SS66,


My boy is in the school volleyball team and also keen to use DSA via volleyball.

Some schools we are considering are: St. Hilda's, Dunman Sec, Victoria, Catholic High.... you can check out past years school volleyball results at http://vas.org.sg/result_school.php

Hope this helps

[SS66]

Thanks !

unfortunately my boy's school did not made it to the national level.
Does tt means DSA via volleyball is not a viable option for me

Hi. I’m new to the DSA system so this is probably a silly question. All the experienced daddies and mommies, pls bear with me.


This is with regards to applying for RI thru DSA - academic track.
If the child has high distinction in ICAS for English and Science but for school results, only gets about 70+, will he even be considered?

Will he be called up to go for the General Ability Test at all?

Many thanks in advance.

Is he is from the GEP stream? If from mainstream, I am afraid chance not high. He will probably have higher chance using his PSLE score.

How about say RI for academic domain? Usually what is the % of seats of the school vacancy is meant for DSA. And what is the % of such seats given to GEP students versus non-GEP?
