DSA 2023

[Sloth]

Although my child not in sport. But to give a fair judgement, not all dive into IP becoz of IP stream. It might be due to the coach the particular school is having.

Hi Parents,


Anyone know of any recent updates or anyone received NUSH round 2 email ?

Got to rem CCA is only one aspect of sch life. If the child cannot cope with the daily academic rigour, it’s gg to be very painful. I speak from experience as I did sports my whole life (but got in by results) and though there was no DSA during our time, there was “back door” and saw a few sports ppl suffer, repeat or even drop out of school.

The notification came quite late this year. In comparison, last year we received the notification on July 8th, and the camp took place on July 16th.

Could you please help to clarify if you have received notification for round 2 this year already ?

My DD says must atleast try for DSA in 3-4 points higher school…else what is the point.


I kind of agree.

If you get 84x4 you get 12 points. If you get 85x4, you get 8.

In my opinion, not much difference between the two students.

I shared with the group earlier that i called NUS High this morning and was informed that the results were not out yet. (See earlier post). Not sure if they released anything since then though. Thanks.

Yea ofcourse. If not, just get in by PSLE. 3-4 points are okay but not like 10 points different. But I think the schools also do their screening, can’t accept students who are too far off?
My elder child who is in dual track school also shared that some sports DSA students do very well, cos they study well to begin with, PSLE around cut off point. But some entered purely based on sports merits, those really struggle and teachers also cannot care much all the time.

The school you applied to will receive your P5 raw marks, so they will be well aware of whether your AL12 is 84x4 or 80x4.

Does this mean if the coach is in that school then there is a higher success rate of DSA-ing into that school?
