DSA 2011

[TREX8]

Tea session on 5 Aug - attended by about 100 girls (majority GEP, counted only 2 from mainstream).


Tea session on 12 Aug - attended by 104 mainstreamers

Therefore, confirmed offer given to about 204 girls (maybe some absentees or decided not to turn up since already have COs from other schools).

My impression was that most of the girls for the first tea session also have CO from rgs. Assuming equal split between NYGH and RGS, then maybe about 50 girls on WL would get a CO from NYGH eventually.

Hi Pinky88, at NYGH tea reception, Mdm Heng was saying that the sch received up to 1000 applications but only 210 places allocated to DSA. So again, she has urged the parents/dd to let her know early if they are not taking the offer so that the place can be given to WL.

In addition to the above, I hv counted abt 104 mainstreamers today (seated in 26x4 rows) NY pri sch has the most nbr allocated with at least 10 students. The sec ones were v busy impressing on my DD abt sch ccas & curriculum. It's a knowledgable visit for her. :boogie:

Hi Cestmoi, my dd applied thru academic.

Hi vanilla mum,
Did your DD DSA for RGS as well?

Wa! u are fast! no, only let her try NYGH bcos hv the impression that RGS girls are difficult to control sorry, no offense to DDs in RGS, just my personal view.[/quote]

Hi vanilla mum,
Just curious.....why do you have the impression that RGS girls are difficult to control? DD has a CO from RGS so would appreciate your input. Can PM me if you like :evil: .....Tks.[/quote]

Hi Vanilla mum,
Any more info on RGS girls? 3 years ago, i did not allow my older DD to go in cos this is precisely my impression of the girls there (NO OFFENSE - MY IMPRESSION). As both my girls are in RGPS, they wanted to go to RGS. Now my younger DD turn. I dont think she has any chance of getting into RGS through DSA. She is a lazy bum. Other than reasonably gd result (GEP), she doesnt have much achievement. I dont believe in forcing unfortunately.

But i believe, base on her PSLE result eventually, she might have a good chance of getting into RGS.

My older girl went into MGS SBC though qualify for RGS. I'm now in a dilemma.

Any one here goes through interview in MGS?

Hi Lynn2010

I worked in one of the top lawfirm and u can actually tell if those young lawyers were from RGS bcos they basically do not hv good EQ (sorry RGS girls). They are simply too proud to talk to you. In fact I was discussing with my boss (a senior partner) and she also felt that NYGH girls are both good in study and better character, she also mentioned that NYGH has given an impression that it is a chinese sch, but that was in the past. she feels that NYGH is better as in educated in all rounded.

My ds got waitlist as well.


Half of his class and the next class got CO from RI yesterday.

He is obviously upset and did't want to talk about it.

Cheer Up !! All is not lost ! WL is just as good. Put it as first choice, should be able to get it on posting date ...... I believe they do adjust the cut off point at S1 posting to take in the WL

You mean they took places meant for S1 posting by adjusting the cutoff point to accomodate the WL ?
Or could it be they never fill up the entire 225 DSA places with COs at first, leaving some on WL ?

Dear Vanilla mum,

I really appreciate this info!!!

Just to share. My older girl reluctantly went into the SBC program in MGS. Throughout these 3 years, she has been given a lot of opportunities to shine and excel. In addition, from a quiet shy girl who has problem speaking in public, she is now in 2 CCAs, one of them is debate and being a lawyer is one of her career options.

We always hope to make the correct choice for our kids. To me, life is not all about getting As (though she did); character and attitude are important too. This determines if we made it or not in life later.

That said, i must say that RGS program suit some children too. During the opening, i saw many girls who are kind and helpful.

The only thing about MGS is they start their IP in 2013. I’m worried about my lazy bum (younger dd) <sigh>
