        Ahem. Parents planning to DSA via sports would have started as early as P1 or earlier, need to source for coach, enroll in the \"right\" school to train for the sport etc. building up the sports talent takes time.


        DSA can also go via academics. So can still try even if you are not geppers. Just have to make sure P4 - P6 SA1 grades are good. There are some other requirements that you can chk out at the various school's website.

        Plus DSA route is applicable to non-branded schools too šŸ˜‰ There's a list on the MOE website plus their niche areas.
        Will let my DD1 join Chinese Dance next year, is it ok for DSA?
        Still thinking which CCA to choose 🤷

          So that students feel less stress during PSLE lor. Plus for geppers they start to revise for PSLE like 3 months before because of the GEP curriculum.

                hi, my kids also have the same problem. But you can try ask your daughter play some table tennis, tennis, badminton. It will help a little bit.

                      No matter what kind of pattern, our kids still need language and maths competencies plus doses of science and critical thinking skills, EQ, AQ and whatever Q to function. PSLE is a chkpt. It's easier to train \"survival skills\" in the first 12 yrs than later on.
