There are DSAs via Guzheng itself. these are the schools that offer Guzheng DSA:

For Guzheng or Chinese orchestral, these are the list of schools offering DSAs:

You may also go to this online short listing workbook (view it on computer, not mobile device) to further shortlist other criteria, among them location, co ed or single sex school and more:

Thank you for replying. Cuz my niece is keen on a secondary school but the DSA option is \"chinese orchestra\". She's in her primary school's guzheng cca team, so we are wondering if she may dsa to the secondary via Chinese orchestra based on her cca, guzheng. Not sure if \"Chinese Orchestra\" = \"guzheng\"..

Hi Trooper, i think it depends on the school you are applying for, and you would need to check the website of your desired school for the information.
Hi,

As an example from google search in 2022 SCGS did require submission of video during the initial moe portal application by including the link to uploaded video

Kid was at the NSG these few days and she said that NJC gave out DSA offers via letters to some students? That’s fast? I thought applications start next week.

Hi
I understand that we can select 3 schools for DSA.
Will it be possible to receive acceptance letters from all 3 schools? -

Technically possible to receive 3 Confirmed Offers, but the system only permits you to accept 1.

Thanks @Coffee_Cat for your answer.

For SOTA, my DD had to make a video of her submission. I still remembered her getting the maid to film her -

whether your child receives 3 DSA COs or 3 Wait-lists (WL), at the end of the day, your P6 son / daughter can only study in one Secondary school.
Hi
I understand that we can select 3 schools for DSA.

Therefore, apply for DSA only if your child is very interested in that particular school. Otherwise, if end up being offered \"half hearted\" COs / WLs, later on, you will face a dilemma of which school to give up, since u are only half hearted, right from the beginning.
Don't forget.
Attending DSA trials / audition tests / Academic subject tests ... is time consuming. This will eat into your precious PSLE preparation time.
Therfore, if u are half hearted, not really keen in that Secondary school, advise is : do not even waste time, applying.
However, if u are truly zealous for a particular school, then go ahead & apply.
Example
In previous DSA batches, there are students who applied for that only one particular school, they truly desired. Because they know that if they cannot enter by DSA, they are confident that they will still be able to enter, by their PSLE AL score, in November 2024. Other than this particular school, they not interested in any other Secondary schools. So, end up, they submitted Total 2 choices, under the same Secondary school name, during DSA. But under 2 different, separate domain. Eg.
1) X name (Sports / Performance Arts / Academic subject) domain
2) the same X name Secondary school (Leadership domain, another domain) -

Better to reconfirm before posting such claims. DSA is centralised so they could not have given out any offer yet. What likely happened is they are trying to invite the kid to apply, assuring they will be favourably considered? This is presuming the academics are acceptable

It's not an offer letter, could be some form of invitation letter to the kids to consider applying to NJC.

But formal selection like trials and interviews will still take place. -

Sorry but I highly doubt this. The furthest a school would go is to invite the student to trial at this point. Offering CO before the DSA application starts is unheard of

Y can apply to 3 schools and it's possible to receive 3 COs but you can ultimately choose only 1 school.

As of today, I know at least two p6 kids with a confirmed place each - when the dsa application for the rest of us starts next Tuesday.
It’s just like that. -

They would still have to apply through the official portal, even if their application will be immediately processed into a CO.

MOE portal deadline is all the same. Unless u talking about specialized schools like SOTA or Sports School.

Yes (for MOE schools) but you will be given ample timing to make your choice.

Fyi We received 3 COs last year. All diff timing. We had sufficient time to discuss and make our choice. So no issues there.
