      In our case, we have told NJC not going for the interview. Hopefully, that helps and hope this gives next person in line a better chance …

            impressive portfolio! @kshroom, would like to know about your dsa strategies if you don't mind. 😊
            :thankyou:

            Hmm I think we also got lucky cos Infocomm is still not as popular as other domains eg sports or Math. So am really thankful for the outcome.

            If I were to summarise

            1) supporting our child's passion and capitalising on his aptitude (eg encouraging self-exploration outside formal lessons, sending for appropriate skills training)

            2) doing research to find out what our school of choice is looking out for in their DSA candidate (eg the relevant skills, competitions, projects)

            3) reading up on the nuances of the DSA process itself (eg HCI requires portfolio submission so prepare one early, hearing from other parents how interviews are conducted)

            4) understanding more about the school / CCA (going for the school openhouse, speaking to teachers and students at the CCA booth, scouring the school / CCA website)

            5) prepping the child for the interview as it can be nerve wracking for a 12 year old but yet it can make or break the deal

            Lastly but most importantly - the child must want it for himself and work together with us to support his endeavour. 100%.
            Cos it determines the next 4-6 years of his life.

            Hope this helps 🙏🏻

                Congratulations to those who have received the CO! Can I check, does anyone know was it just track and field or all sports domain that VS has given the verbal offer? Thanks

                        It's ok. It means your kid just have to ace the PSLEs and then they can go anywhere they want. :nunchuk:
