Hi caramel_ and gleemom,

Thank you so much for your help. My DD's dream school is NYGH but she was posted to DHS, she's very disappointed because this year's COP went up and she couldn't went in. Hope everything goes well!

Good luck!

My DD was also called for interview to NYGH, and I was wondering if you could provide some pointers for the interview. Your help is appreciated.


Thank You

If she is getting through by CCA, she must be prepared to be asked about her CCA. But normally, they will ask her about general questions.

A parent must be there too. I heard that some parents are called in to join the interview.

Good tips.

But RI do not has an interview, do not know why.

My son's result: 263+3
Too bad, 3 points are excluded.

I have appealed for my son. And his sister is studying in RI year 6.

How much is the chance?

If she is getting through by CCA, she would have to go through a trial, an example being the child appealing through CCA for Track and Field would have to go through several assessments, evaluated then picked to take up the spot. However, do note that this would be the CCA she would be required to take. I am unsure if there is an interview or if you are able to appeal through a Performing Arts CCA.

An official reply from Ministry of Education on DSA appeals. This new policy was introduced by new Education Minister Heng Swee Keat, an old Rafflesian. A parent passed us this email which I have edited for brevity and privacy.



Dear Parent,

I refer to your email in which you requested for your daughter to be transferred to Raffles Girls’ Secondary School.

We have given careful consideration to your request and regret to inform you that your request for a transfer is unsuccessful.

We have received many similar requests for transfers from students who accepted DSA offers from other schools. The MOE policy on DSA transfers is clear. Once a student has accepted a DSA place offered to her by a school, she must remain committed to that school, in the same way that the school must honour the offers it makes to the students. Transfers are only permitted in cases where there are extenuating circumstances such that the student can no longer fulfill the commitment which forms the basis of the DSA offer.

We understand that as parents, you wish the best for your daughter. We also appreciate that you would also want your daughter to experience the Raffles education.

We wish her all the very best and have confidence that she will continue to learn and thrive in her assigned school.
