Does being in Robotics CCA help in SST’s DSA?


DS wants to switch to Robotics for this year previously he was with the Science club.

Any advise?

Anyone know the open house date and DSA application date start for SST?

Yes but I think in order to make an impact, need to win competitions.

Robotics is very popular in SST. My boy tried to get in in Sec 1 but there is only about 40 vacancies with about 100 applications (ie half the cohort).

During the selection process, the school takes into consideration the potential ability of students to do well in and benefit from the programme. SST selects students based on their cognitive ability, aptitude for applied learning, interests and motivation. The selection process is carried out via a variety of assessment methods such as tests and activities.
