For all 6 years?[/quote]

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.

Oh I see, thank you for sharing this information. P3-6 is quite reasonable. However, is it bescaise your kid was transferred in at p2, or was it p3-6 for everyone?

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.[/quote]

P4 onwards sounds reasonable! Wonder why all the schools here are giving different years?! Some says all the years, some p3-6 and some p4-6. Personally I think only p5-6 makes a difference.

For DSA 2022 batch, it was the first batch where MOE removed the P5 SA1 (the SA2 turned out to be a big shocker to many). So it seems reasonable for DSA panels to look at P4 upwards.

Oh yes, I recall that and so it seems reasonable.

Hi, anybody can share what is the audition like for DSA Choir for Nan Hua? Thanks!

[Daddy with one son]

Hi fellow parents,


My son has pretty decent results but might be a little inconsistent. He has E2K, some Math Olympiad medals and has AL9 during his P5 overall and AL8 for his P5 final year exam. He has strong interest in Science and Math (especially Science).

He is keen on the TJC IP program as he participated in TJC’s e-Think Challenge last year and learned something about that school and has very favorable impression of the school.

He is also keen on the Victoria School IP program due to chatter between this classmates and their parents.

I am very keen on try for the DSA-Sec for these two schools for him. Based on an earlier post, it appears that about 1 in 3 P6 kids applied for one.

Also these schools have programs relating to Science and/or Math based on an earlier Tableau report prepared by another parent.

I would like to know what can I do to ‘prepare’ him for the DSA application. It seems that the ‘interview’ is very important and there might be some selection test(s). Anything I can prepare him since the March holidays is approaching?

Also, what are the ‘odds’ of success for him? I would like to set his expectation so that he does not get too disappointed.
