AFter the Hast test, there is a waiting time for results. If do well, will be shortlisted for phase 2 which is an interview. The interview came as late as 24 Aug last year and by then some schools already make their dsa offer. The DSA offer used to come around PSLE oral days and many parents last years were praying that they could delay in order not to affect the emotion of the kids during PSLE oral. My ds received his just the day before PSLE oral and guess what, they just can't help not to talk about it on their oral days. Not sure whether this will happen again this year.

Overall, this year PSLE is about a week earlier. Oral is on 18 - 19 Aug, so most likely DSA results not out yet. I believe the results will be out most probably during their sch prelim period. Expect the kids to be discussing then.

News, news! Finally hear from RGS!


Received email from RGS asking DD to attend an interview on 5 Jul (Tues)... According to the email, supposed to be 3 girls to 2 interviewers.

Also, RGS is conducting a round of GAT on the same day.

Hi

Please share how the interview session goes and what type of questions asked will be good, if you don't mind. Also good to find out the other 2 girls in the same interview do they need to take GAT or not.

Thank you
BD

So how much time is given to parents/kids to make firm decision to accept CO ?
Esp those with multiple COs, will surely be too happy with this Happy problem.

Understand you only need to submit your choice by mid or end October, after taking the PSLE paper. So, in fact, there is quite a period for you to dream and think about it

[quote=\"parentof3\"]Hi need some advice here. My dd is currently taking advance shooting cse in the sports school. They are setting up a new shooting academy and invited my dd to DSA. I'm worried about her future if she did not shine in either the sports or her O level. But she likes the shooting very much and has no confidence to get into RGS to join their shooting CCA. What should I do?

How serious is your dd about shooting and is she sure that she wants to pursue it for the next 4-6 years? If she is, then perhaps she could try out for the Sports School. I don't know how strong SSS is academically, but they do offer IB as well don't they?

If she just intends to pursue shooting as a CCA and represent the school, then maybe a mainstream school may be better. There are several other schools which offer DSA through Shooting. You might want to try out for these as well although applications may have closed already.

Those school with shooting CCA DSA like Ahmad Ibrahim which she donn't like and RGS has no DSA for shooting. Furthermore she only pickup shooting this year at SSS not as a CCA in her current school.
d[/quote]RGS has shooting as DSA this year.
