DSA 2012

Hi Soka, Good Post!

A non prestigious school does not necessarily mean a happy 4-6 years ahead too. Listen to the child and respect his decision.

Proudly mum,


I am curious in the way ur DD made her choice. Can I trouble you to disclose her decision making process? My DD also went through the process however the final decider was actually a non school related factor…

Thanks

[quote=\"PiggyLalala\"]Yup... GE pupils will be in Isparks. Heard tt those mainstream pupils who did very well in the psle will also be placed in Isparks.

What I heard not necessary leh. Know of someone in the past got 257 given ispark and many who score way above 260 in non-ispark.

Opps... Then my infor fr friends are not tt accurate. Sorry abt tt.
But all GE pupils will be in Isparks, right?[/quote]Hi, in the recent Parent Symposium, it was mention that mainstreamers who have perform well in the DSA Tests will be considered and offered admission to iSparks, NOT dependent on their PSLE scores.

Hi Foreverfriends, there's no fixed schedule of when you should start looking around. It's really all up to you and your child. In my case, I think I started in P5 - making him/her be aware that every school has varying strength(s) and also have the kid to start thinking what he/she wants to have in his/her dream school.

The list of schools participating in DSA can be found in http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/dsa-sec/participating-schools/. This list varies by the year.

It’s a long list of schools. Which are the good ones in the East side? I only know Dunman High school.
