DSA 2012

Damn the letter in the mail box smelt real real good!

[Worriedpapa]

Congrats to all the happy papa, mamas, ds and DDs who had good news this week. For those who have been less fortunate, there is the PSLE! Ur DS and DDs are much more capable than we give them credit so m sure they will have their dreams fulfilled post psle.


Snail Mail from MGS finally arrived.... DD and I had given up that dsa as a lost cause. But surprisingly... She has a CO. :hi5:

However... Need your help to decipher MGS dsa offer. She had rejected the Sports School CO, received CO from RGS. The MGS offer is Dsa Sports O levels... Guess she did not make the cut for the IB as we ticked both dsa options. DD thinks that if her psle marks are good, she may still be able to get into MGS IB program through the psle posting. I thought they only had 2 IB classes next year and all of the slots would be filled through dsa? Does anyone know if MGS has set aside any IB slots for psle posting?
:?

Thanks

Moonee : the letter from NJC stated that you must still be eligible to attend a course offered in our school based on PSLE . What does this sentence means ? Certain COP？

At the MGS open day, they said there are 60 IB places with up to half going to DSA so there will be at least 50% available at psle posting.

Anyone heard from RV?

I just received Rejection letter from RV by post today. Those had not received, might be CO...

No. I don't think so. I still haven't received any news since now. But my DS hasn't been invited to interview and no noticification yet so far although I know he was being kicked out from successful application.
Anyway, still got psle going on. Work hard!

Dear parents, may I ask how u think of ACSI? This is the first and only time my child takes part in PSLE. a few days ago, my DS teacher suggested him trying to apply for ACSI or SJI. I really has no idea of these two school as I was not studying in Singapore in my secondary education. Thanks for any sharing.

Dear WorriedDad, once you accept MGS \"O\" level CO, you will not be allowed to take part in S1 posting. So I suggest that you accept RGS CO. Congrats!

Is your son P5 or P4? If he is P6, DSA application had closed a long ago. Maybe he can put his choice for S1 posting.

In term of ACSI and SJI, both are very good schools, with different religion and culture. you may find more at parent network thread on this forum.

Rgs co - ip
Mgs co - o level
S1 posting to mgs ip?

I feel that your dd’s choice is I pretty obvious.

Which school does your dd personally prefer? MGS or RGS?

If MGS, give the school a call and check with them if your dd were to accept the MGS CO for O level, and her PSLE results are good enough for IP, will they consider putting her into IP track then? That way she's secured a place in MGS plus has the opportunity to go IP if her PSLE results are excellent. Even if MGS says no transfer to IP is allowed after PSLE results, your dd can always apply for the IP track at the end of Sec 2 while in MGS. Lots of opportunities to go into IP.

If your dd prefers RGS. Easy. But bear in mind that RGS is academically very rigorous. But your dd seems confident in her academic ability.

Another thing to consider - IB Diploma or A Level Cert?
