What happens to those GEPpers who DSA into schools like RI or HCI but do not score well in PSLE? Will they still be assigned to \"GEP\" or \"good\" classes or will they be grouped with others with similar score? Is PSLE score important for those who have secured DSA offer to their dream school?

they are still grouped with the rest of the GEP boys

t-score is not important to anyone once entered into Sec 1. everyone starts from the same starting line

for non-DSA students, the t-score is merely an entrance ticket and nothing more

Thanks. So, how do they allocate classes for Sec 1?

But if the kid intend to continue the same CCA, then why not?

If the child is certain that his interest would be sustained for all four years and is happy to train intensively and represent the school, certainly go for Sports DSA. But if the kid is just good at the sport or is forced into it by the parents and has no passion for it, and think he might be interested in another sport in secondary school then the DSA sport can get tedious in the long run.

Right now, my dd still intends to continue with the sport, but I prefer that she keeps her options open. I don't want her to eat, live and breathe that sport which she'd have to do to remain competitive in the years to come. Not only that, her physique will also be affected if she has to train even harder. Bulky like Joscelin Yeo!

I prefer that she has time for other activities eg. music or art to be well-rounded. It's my secret wish that she will join the String Ensemble.

Not sure if she can join other CCA and then still take part in the sport competition if the school needs her.[/quote]Sounds like your DD is in swimming. Not every one in competitive swimming will be like Joscelin Yeo! See Quah Ting Wen, she is slim and elegant. But if dd does not want to go on training, it is certainly fair not to go DSA sport, Otherwise, it is no harm to try, especially for her dream school.

RGS and NYGH do not have waitlists. Not in the past anyway.
