[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.

Yes, yes, I knew some GEPers who scored >90% for SA1 and confirm going to RI and yet apply DSA for HCI, ACSI and NUSH.

But good for the ego and self esteem mah. Some see it as trophy for collection...never one too many! Someday they can tell others....been there, done that!

Just to a check, how many GE parents and GE students only apply DSA for one school? None, I think.[/quote]In my dd's year, at least two of her classmates applied for only ONE school. They were that sure that was the only school they wanted.

lew2105, is this insider info? GE students or those who applied via sports/academics?

If so, good. Otherwise all our necks are super long n tiring to check mail so many times a day. Not a nice feeling!

Sounds like you looking at the PAP members walking here and there!!! :laugh:

Actually I much prefer their \"non-white\" top with white pants. Was at RI the other day and saw their cricket team practising - those giys looked good with their black long sleeve T and white pants.

The white pants looks good, but the white shorts I really can't like lei....

Also I think RI is adding more colors to their school colors - other than white, they have black, green and gold.

RI school colours are black, white and green so their t-shirts are usually in those colours. Very nice!

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.

Great! All the best to your dd on her interview. Does she need to do GAT? No right?
