Hi, does anyone know the literature books VS is using for Sec 2? Kiasu as ever.....

It's not in DS3's book list. :? There is no English textbook or Science textbooks also. Assume they will be given notes instead.

Anyone's children entering VS via DSA for next year?

It seem that the standard has increased a lot for DSA, my younger brother who is a national champion was not even selected.

What did he take for DSA?

Hi,

I guess for science they will be using last year's textbooks. It's just that would like ds to do some lit reading during hols rather than playing xbox, switch to computer games, swtitch to tv, then back to xbox again...... :x
happymum8 mentioned macbeth. hope they don't change it.

Anyone appealed to this school, after S1 postings are out, before?

My dad's fren appeal for his son last year.
About 200-300 students appeal. Unless he got strong CCA (national champion or something like that), chances of the appeal quite slim.

but don't give up the chance to appeal...243 is quite close to this year's COP...
is your son good in football or other sports?
VS quite biased towards boys who are good in football
they have entered the National Finals 5 times in the last few years (B and C Div) and only lost to Sports School each time

Thanks ManU123. We will put VS as 1st choice and hope for the best. I'm afraid he's not into sports, but he's a leader for his Science Club CCA. Not sure if that will help. We're keeping our fingers crossed. :xedfingers:
His 2nd choice would be TKSS. Although he would very much love to be in a boys' school, I guess there's not much options with his aggregate.

for appeal cases, they look at wat stand out in the student compared to the rest...
TKSS is also a very good school...
