DSA 2022

[PsMom]

So, based on the nice Tableau Dashboard, I arrived at these 2 schools for my boy: SOTA ( Visual Arts and English Drama) and ACS(Barker) - English Drama. I also looked at Fairfield Methodist, Mayflower and Kuo Chuan Presbytarian.

Anyone who has any experience of DSA with these can please advise? Specifically DSA in Arts (Performing/visual).
For Fairfield and Kuo Chuan, how is the balance in Extra curriculars and academics?
Many Thanks !!

Just wondering if anyone out there knows whether the [U]teachers’ comments[/u] in the school report book are automatically extracted into the DSA portal along with the child’s grades + school-based achievements?

For my kid's school, Yes, everything been intact.

Best to check (clarify) with the Admin team from your P6 son's primary school, in charge of uploading the Dsa info from Report card into Moe's database server.

Thank u phtthp! That’s good to know. I don’t think I’ll bother them to check, it’s just that the teachers were very kind to write non-standard template detailed comments that showcased my son’s personality very well, it would be good for us if this is duly communicated to the secondary school.

I would think only the p5/6 information will be transmitted? I’m actually not sure and am keen to find out too.

Does anyone have the guidelines on how to prepare DSA profile?

as far as i can understand from the answers i got from this forum, everything from the child's report book will be automatically uploaded into the portal. Additionally we will be able to showcase 10 items pertaining to the talent area, be it competitions etc outside school.

Hmm…based on past few years’ DSA threads, KSPs said report book grades & achievemnts from P4 onwards…so I suppose teachers’ comments, likewise?

Doesnt really bother me cos DS’ comments only got more favourable from P4 onwards lol.

Because my kid was transferred in at end of P2 from another primary school, Admin team confirmed that for my kid's ex P6 primary school -

all Report card info were uploaded from (P3 to P6), into Moe's DSA database server. Not just (P5 and P6) only. But, that's just for my kid's ex primary school. Not sure about yours.

Yes you’re perfectly right ! Wouldn’t say that one example represents the whole population . Just saying that it’s a possibility - as an encouragement to other parents trying …..[/quote]

Just hope they don’t get false hope.
