      Hi,


      Sorry for the late update as we were busy during the last few days.

      DD recd an unsuccessful letter from DHS last week!

      Have jokingly told her that perhaps there are too many 舞林高手 lah! :evil:

      Therefore she is still a 自由身 that can sign her contract with different tier of school base on her PSLE result!

      BTW, we found the DSA process is a great experience and DD had learnt and experience how competitive that she will be facing when she move to Secondary school.

        塞翁失马,焉知非福。All the best to your DD PSLE! With supportive parents and good attitude, I am sure she will enjoy her Secondary school life and benefit from it no matter which school she eventually goes to.

          Blur Dad:



          Hi Interested

          I totally understand how you feel. I and DW did not set the right expectation to DS. I told my DS that \"Son, you are only a few marks different from your classmates, as long as you do well in the Hast, GAT, short written test, personal statement and interview, there is still good chance to be awarded a CO for RI/HCI/ACSI\". I was than bloody naïve.

          I think it is better for those schools to set the expectation right in the beginning. Suggest to mention that to the DSA applicants that “For GEP students, if your SA1 result is <80%, need not apply.” Or “The COP for DSA is 80%”.
          Hi blur dad I can understand how you feel. My DS also only with a WL so far.
          From what other forumers posted here, the chances for WL is high as long as you put it as first choice.
          So cheer up since you DS at least has a WL from ACSI and encourage him to chiong for PSLE.

                  soka:

                  From these advices, most probably will take public bus from north then circle line to DHS. (School bus only one way)

                  A happy news to at least a NYGH WLer too.

                  Hi Soka,

                  Is there MRT near DHS? Which station is that?

                  Isn't it easier to just take the school bus service in the morning instead of joining the morning rush and making all those transport changes? Sounds like a really long journey! Of course it's one-way. RI & HCI also have school bus service that is one-way. The kids just make their way back after school lah. At least not in a rush at that time.

                    My ds also received unsuccessful letter from DHS. But oh well, actually he didn't really want to go there at all. Then he blamed me that I *encouraged* him to apply for that school. 😓 At least he has CO from the school he wants to go to. Just hope he does well for PSLE. 23 days MORE to go!!!!!!
