      For NJC, please call the admin to ask for your DC' CCA domain' s status. According to the admin, they are still in the midst of shortlisting for different domains. For Basketball (girls), notification will be release by Friday tomorow. For Shooting (girls), will be next week, not this week, but still need to call and check their status every now & then. Other sports domain you might have to ask individually.

      Ganjiongspider, is this notification for Phrase 2 you are referring to?


      Yes yes. Sorry my message not clear. It's the notification for Phase 2 Interview.

          oh man but RGS is really a tough school to get in. Hope you have applied to other schools as well. I did only for SOTA and MGS and SOTA alr no hope. So a single chance left can b super demoralizing for my DD.

          SOTA results out so soon?


          no, mine did not went pass after the video submission thing. haizz. SOTA not so grades oriented but skill oriented and MGS is more grades oriented according to a parent there whose DD got in so since mine had good grades we try MGS since the SOTA dream was :gloomy: 😉

              Today at my dd school, overheard a GEP girl telling her classmates that she received rejection email from RGS already.

              She even recited the email aloud. :yikes:
              Probably she attended interview, didn't perform well, Or attended HDP but didn't do well in the subject tests, or some other reasons.

                Congrats Lokpry and S_Mummy on getting called for interview for SJI. Did anyone get an invitation for interview for DSA Sports?[/quote]

                DSA Sports has no interview maybe? It seems like everyone here has children who went for Leadership, Innovation and Arts interview at SJI.
                Btw, anyone knows what is the IP and O Level intake for DSA for SJI?[/quote][/quote]

                Not sure for this year, But last year, DSA Sports boys had to attend interviews.[/quote]
                Dropped sji an email to check on status. They replied with the standard reply indicating dates for interviews. Not helpful at all. Sigh.

                  The gepper mentioned that she only went for interview but wasn't invited for HDP. I'm just surprised that RGS sent out rejection email so fast this year. So for this year RGS DSA, no news is good news

                    I think I have to say something but not to keep quiet when I see the comparison between grades and skills, and ms to ge, etc etc. Pls do not kill me, please.

                    Hey parents, all the schools like to choose the best they can get from their DSA. There’s actually no clear lines between grades or skills or ms or ge. The only thing that super clear is the kids’ talents and abilities that they shown to the school during dsa (information submission or HDP or interview).
                    How the school choose their students? Sure not only base on some certs but the overall turnouts of the child from p4 to p6 which includes talents, academic, cca, personality, kindness, leadership, team works, sports, arts, etc etc (pls add more because I know there must be so much more than these). There’s no such thing that: "oh! Because she/he has higher grades so was taken by the school" or "oh! Because she/he is ge so she/he win" or "oh because the interviewers liked them so they win larh".
                    The schools are not idiots, the panel are not idiots. On the other hand, they are experienced and saw too many special cases than us.
                    Please do not reserve the cause and effect.
                    DSA are opened for talented kids who might be good at everything but talented/passionate with one/more thing(s) or who talented/passionate/Super good with one thing but ok/not ok with other things.

                    In the end, all our dear kids have to do PSLE.

                    P.s. Please do not laugh at the child who is willing to share his/her status openly with his/her friends/classmate. His/her simplicity is lovely.

                      yup agree with you on this, my DD is so candid about revealing that her mom paid for video submission prep for SOTA and not getting in to TA :rotflmao: but hey her SA1 results of 3A* and A with HCL merits got us smiling too. In any case get dun get is secondary still nid study hard for PSLE. Just the Kiasu element of chopping a place first would be great hahaha!
