So YumYum & Yukilei, is your boy going for HCI P6 leadership camp on 17 -18 Oct?

Yes, he's going. He's very excited about it. How about yours?

Hi Yukilei & Flowermonaster,

My DS is not invited. I am not sure about the selection criteria.

Hope that your sons enjoy it, I am sure it'll be fun and a good learning experience [/quote]Hi YumYum, thanks.
I think it's depend on the school & teacher. The general selection criteria for my DS's school is for those kids interested to go HCI then from there the teacher will select(don't know wat criteria) as limited vacancies.

For those who received only WL, assuming your choice school still has no place for you after posting result is out (the worst case eventuality), how are you going to strategize and fill in the option form on 22 Oct? E.g. How would you indicate your 6 choices in the option form? Do you have to place as No.1 the school that has granted you a WL? Welcome your advice. Thanks!

22Oct week is for those DC who hv received at least 1 CO or WL to make their selection. Unless there is a situation where a DC received 6 CO and/or WL, one won't be using 6 choices. In 1st choice put the school which yr DC absolutely one to go, even if it's WL. Tricky bit will be if yr DC received a WL for 1st choice and a CO for a school which the DC has second thoughts abt going. The dilemma will be to just put 1st choice WL and the rest blanks.

:thankyou: Hairyorange and emoh for your insights & advice!

My DS only has 1 WL, so pretty straight forward choice then. But what if we still want to try for his affiliated SAP secondary school based on his PSLE results ( because eligible for some discounts), would choosing the DSA WL school as 1st choice deprive him of consideration for his affiliated school during S1 posting? Or are we not eligible for S1 posting at all?

Uke, if your DS WL has been converted to CO then he is not eligible for S1 posting. He will know this when he receive his PSLE result.

Hi,


Can anyone tell me about RGS DSA? I heard must get a T score of 240 even they accept the child under DSA. Then how to opt for the school as the child’s T score is not out yet?

No need to wait until PSLE result out. Come 22 Oct your DD will receive the DSA option form for her to fill in her choice. If she has more than 1 CO/WL then she needs to put in her choice base on her preference, first being her 1st choice & so on.

Who did you hear it from? The only information you should accept as truth is from the school. If the school stated in a letter that there is a minimum acceptable T-score then that is true. If the school didn't state anything, it is just a rumour.

Hi,

Comparing VS and DHS
Anyone got information please advise
My DS is stronger in EL than MT but he seem keen of DHS.
DHS is further away then VS from the place we stay and scare we will struggle for the MT in DHS.
