Happy New Year to all . Do we need to include the P4,P5,P6 projects done by the students in DSA Portfolio. Please advise

For my ds , he did not put any of his gep project in his portfolio. He only represented one which was asked to do so during RI interview.

Hi Vlim,
So, for Gep, what are the stuff that we should put into the portfolio that will help the dsa? Read sometime ago that some interviewers did not look at the portfolio file at all. And.....any idea if questions are impromptu or actually needs preparation? Thanks.

For RI, their interviewers did not look at the portfolio at all as those info which they needed we would have submitted the photostated copy within a week after the online DSA application. As for HCI, last yr on the DSA interview day, the boys were told to put whatever photocopy tt they want to show the interview later in their folder . Anyway the online DSA application have already requested the kids to key in their p4 to p6 results plus others results like maths olympaid etc.
In regards to the qns ask, please to the earlier posts as the 2010 parents had revealed many DSA asked interview qns ... Some of them can be prepared a bit la .. Like why u choose the school, if all school which u DSA offer co to u which one would u choose .,, if the kid is a prefect, they might ask u qns related to leadership likewise to other activity tt the kid took part and stated in the DSA application form ...

A lot of schools offer DSA via academics. Some ask for academic excellence in a particular subject, eg. English, Math, Science or MT. Others look for overall academic excellence. Just go to the websites of the schools you're interested in and look up their requirements.

Is it worth the effort to put the kids through the pressure of academic DSA ?


Afterall , if they are good enough for DSA , they should be able to perform as well during psle . May I know what’s the advantage of taking DSA ?

Like to have some opinions from other parents here ! Thanks !!

good enough for dsa means continuous & consistent performance

PSLE performance can be affected by the following :

1. traffic condition on exam days (bus/car break down, accidents along the way), flood, etc
2. students falling sick
3. students have injury prior to exam days that affect their ability to write and concentrate

with DSA confirmed offer from a desired school will ease the pressure

if the child is expected to perform at PSLE, then DSA process is no pressure at all
