You raised a very good point that the schools do stream S1 based on PSLE results. Not sure if they all do but I'll definitely remind my DS that the PSLE results are still crucial for this purpose. Thank you
I think the one of the intended aims of DSA is to ease the pressure off the PSLE for those that secure a spot based on a talent the school values. Hence the timing.
As for telling the child result of CO? My child felt that knowing CO made for complacency in PSLE. Totally lost interest and enjoyed the ride too much. DC ignored the warning that classes are streamed in S1 based on PSLE results.
DC actually really regretted slacking off to that extent. Ultimately felt the stigma of disappointing results especially when was expected to do well. Interestingly, DC felt the streaming affected types of ppl and friends made over next two years. In some ways it drove DC determination to work harder in early sec years. Like trying to get the monkey off the back
So this time, on the advice of DC1, we learnt lesson. Didn’t share results of first school. But for some schools you need to go and personally collect. So had to share second school. DC2 just told friends when asked about results of dsa, that parents are not sharing results till after PSLE.

Congrats!

On complacency after getting CO, does anyone have a feel based on past years cohorts, whether the kids who got DSA, do worse, better or as expected?

Today’s Update (5 September, 9:50am)
TJC gets us going for this week!
This will likely be a busy week with many key schools expected to announce their DSA results in the days ahead, just shy of 12 September which is MOE's deadline for DSA results. All the best to those students who are eagerly awaiting the good news.
Congrats to all who received COs & WLs. And, GOOD LUCK to all students and parents regardless!

DSA kids will be grouped into similar Sec 1 classes,
Will DSA academics kids be streamed based on PSLE results as well?
based on your DSA \"domain\",
in some Secondary schools.
But, not all Secondary schools practised this, though. You can proceed to find out, if the school that offers your kid the DSA CO, practised this ?
Eg
1)
If u DSA in by Sports (eg. play badminton), some schools will put those Sec 1s together, into the same Sec 1 class.
Why ?
So that sometimes, when they go training for say some badminton inter-schools competition, because of the intensive \"geared up\" training they need to attend especially closer owards the competition time , they may miss certain school lessons. So, teachers will find it easier to \"lump\" or group them together, going by individual Sec 1 class make it easier, to give or provide these \"badminton\" Sports students extra coaching, to make up and to catch up, for the frequent missed class lessons
Or
2)
If u DSA in by Maths (Academic), again, some schools will put these students into the same Sec 1 class.
3)
In some IP schools -
in the past,
those Mainstream (Non-GEP) students who have scored good Tscore
(eg. 27x onwards),
for the 4 PSLE subjects,
some Mainstream kids may be placed into certain Sec 1 GEP classes, during Sec 1 class allocation.
But now,
under the new PSLE AL score allocation, not sure if they still practise this, for those Mainstream kids who have scored Total AL 4. Not sure if they still place some of these Mainstream kids, to join some Sec 1 GEP class.
4) for O-level track (Non-IP) schools
Yes,
in some Secondary schools -
they do allocate students into certain Sec 1 classes, that is, go by individual subject.
Example
If u scored A* in PSLE (English / Maths / Science),
under the old past Tscore (dinossaur) system,
they will be streamed accordingly, by individual subject. Later on, lower Secondary students in these classes will be encouraged to join certain grooming \"Talent\" opportunities, by individual subject.
But now,
under the new PSLE AL score system, not sure if some schools still \"round up\" those Sec 1 students, who have scored \" AL 1 \", in their respective PSLE (English, Maths, Science). Parents, if keen, feel free to call up your kid's DSA school, clarify with the VP (Academic), in charge. -

I'll let him know that his PSLE scores will be considered for some form of stack-ranking in S1 so hopefully, he's incentivized to keep pace. -
One of the reason i was considering holding back the news also because i feel that I myself become \"complacent\" as well. After knowing his CO result, i have been thinking if I can bring them somewhere to relax this Sept holiday.... :nailbite: Anyway, parents are still adult after all, with self control and as hubby also having business trip now, all of us are grounded at home this week. Since he has not known about this CO, he has been doing well with his revision because he still wanted to go into RI thru PSLE result if not DSA. Anyway, I am expecting him to start reminding me to check my email from tomorrow onwards. :roll:

Personal belief is the vast majority do about as expected with some in both directions. My gut reaction is on the margin slightly more do better, as they are more relaxed on the exam days (but still want to do well). However, there is an inherent reporting bias here; those that do well are usually happy to tell others about it, the other way not so much...

I think the reality is that the AL System's Total Score is also more volatile than the prior system (t-score). A handful of marks can move you up or down 2-3 total AL levels. The final result looks a lot different but the underlying performance was not really that different.
