Thank you for sharing. My DD is very shy and quiet. I'm very worried that she may not look confident and well spoken during the audition for dance in June.

Before going for her TA, I brainstormed with DD some of the possible questions that might be asked during the interview. Then I asked her to think about how she would answer these questions. She typed out the questions and her answers and we went through together. I gave some suggestions and we rehearsed abit. Maybe you would like to try with your DD at home prior to her TA.

During the TA, kids would be nervous and it would be challenging for them to think of responses to questions on the spot and some may be tongue-tied. Since your DD is the shy type, maybe you would want to role-play the interview session at home? Try to rope in other family members and/or friends to form the panel.

I also asked her to think of how she would introduce herself to the panel.

For the RGPS girls, they just need to walk up from their school to NJC. That's what they did in previous years. No need for the parents to get involved.

My ds1 is in year 2 already. He applied under DSA after the Open House. He is enjoying his time in the school.
