DSA 2012
-
My son is P6 this year, his results are not good. Thus I am thinking of DSA. He is currently member of CO in is school and they are going for SYF competition this year. He played Cello and will be going taking his grade 4 in June.
Please advise the chances of DSA and also what school can he try for DSA? When shall we proceed wit DSA?
Thanks! -

Are you talking about this? The EW Barker Institute of Sports? http://www.ri.edu.sg/main/EWBISConfmum42:
The programme is called E W Barker Scholar Programme for those who have COP below 240. Those 240 n above will do IP route. But if they do well in sec 2 they will be transfer to IP so some boys will still go thru this DSA sport route even if they have to go for the 4 yr programme first. This programme will be v good for those real sport talents as it cater to their trainning n learning needs.
From the New Paper write up it appears to be a sports school of sorts with sports-related disciplines. I remember being confused by the article when I read it last year bec it seemed to be a separate school with different curriculum and emphasis.
Yes. Now RI will not loose any academic or sport talents. -

Now RI will not loose any academic or sport talents.[/quote]Do you know if it is a separate Sports Institute as described in the article, where the sports DSA boys learn more sports-related disciplines and hence a somewhat different syllabus from the rest of the mainstream boys? Or is it just a grouping of sports DSA boys in the same class learning at a different pace catered to the tight schedules of the boys but essentially the same syllabus? From the article it appears to be the former. Do you have more insight? -

It is in RI compound, sorry not sure about how the programme runs. I only know if they can't hit the IP requirement during the four years they will do the O level , do not know RI will put them in any special programme after the O level. -

For eg, GEP student go thru DSA to RI but somehow, didn't manage to score > 240. Will this student be in IP track?
Interesting Info ....Funx3:

I was told by the center which my DS is trying to do DSA with, I was told only those DSA sport who do not hit the basic DSA sport COP will be posted to the 4yr programme. Must be told in the first place right ? Think the sch do not want to loose the sport talents just because they may missed the COP just by a mark or two.
Do U Happen to Know what is the \"basic DSA sport COP\"?
240? -

Should only be for sports DSA students, esp as the programme is called the EW Barker Institute of Sports.
