      Well, my girl is only average jones in Guzheng, ballet, jazz, tap n violin. Not outstanding in any but she likes all. I will let her decide herself as she just came home and told me some of her friends of the similar caliber in dance are trying. As long as she is happy with the decision, I am happy...Thanks for your advice!

      Ha ha ....
      That's What My Gal did too! Join in the \"FUN\" of DSA-Dance with her other Classmates.

      As long as U Don't Overstretch yourself, and Manage the Expectation (Very Tough to Be selected via DSA-Dance!), it is a Good Experience 😂

              Do you mean international students who are studying P6 in local school or who are coming to Singapore for Sec One?

                possible, however the usual selection process, must produce existing school results, plus sit for entrance exams papers etc. for some schools… etc

                  Hi there, is anyone applying to Singapore Chinese Girl’s School or Cedar Girl’s School or River Valley High School?

                  Is there anyone of you who have applied to these schools via DSA? I would like to know more.
                  You see, I have 1 leadership role, have won an award in a science competition, got plenty of "participation"s for maths olympiad… Do I stand a chance?

                    Hi, suggest you call the school to find out what core areas they are looking for. Not sure if these are areas they are looking for. For example, for CCA, SCGS will be looking for dance, swimming, badminton, choir, etc etc. Ask them specifically. I am not sure what Cedar and RV are looking for, you can either check their website or ask them directly.

                    Can't really tell if you have a good chance, hate to tell you this, but the credentials you presented doesn't sound very convincing to me for DSA for academic, but who knows, you might just get lucky.

                    All the best!

                        Yes you can. But I think you'll still have to check MOE's website on this, the usual compliance for foreign students or returning Singaporeans apply.
