Grade 5 ballet cert and Pri 5 & 6(CA1 & SA1) has to be submitted during the application, school will select some for audition about 2 weeks after the application dateline. Some of my friends told me that distinction is required from grade 1-5 but my dd scored Grade 1,2,4 in distinction but only 73 for G3 and 70 for G5, and she didn't take up jazz and Chinese dance lesson before.

I'm Sure Your Gal Has Good Dancing Skill that Impress the Panel of Teachers during the Audition.
Sometimes During Graded Exam, Kids can B Nervous and Miss a Step or Two, Or Turn in the Wrong Direction .... And That Caused them the Near Miss to Distinction ....

By the Way, How Many Schools your Gal DSA for? and How's the Success Rate?

She applied DSA for Mxx and SCGS and got confirmed offer from SCGS and waitlisted at Mxx. Friends told me that waitlist also stands a very high chance if you put them as first choice. At first, still hesitating which school to place at 1st choice, we went for SCGS dance performances and really impressed by the SCGS dancers with their dance skills and technique, think the performance really boosted the confidence and self-esteem of those taking part. My ds have decided to accept the offer given by SCGS and now she came home with a smiling face daily since first day of school. I am sure she got herself a right choice…..[/quote]

Thanks, funx3, for your tips. Are you a coach or teacher, as you sounds very familiar with school system.

laifeeling, congrats to your girl.

May I know what school is Mxx? SCGS is singapore chinese girl school? everyone use abbreviation for school name. is there any list of school abbreviation for me to check out in our forum?

Do you have any idea which secondary school accept DSA by ballet, except above two school you mentioned?

Hi,


My girl is currently in p3. she start the chinese dance cca since p2 and recently take another cca -badminton. she likes both cca, but two cca timing is conflicting with each other. so we have to chose 1. outside of school she also have ballet.

The fact is that school chinese dance win gold every year while badminton team is 2nd runner up.

I am wondering which cca to chose in order to have higher chance (benefit) to apply DSA in p5. Any suggestion?

Gal Hmmmmmm ....
Heard from My Friend whose dd try for NYGH Chinese Dance a Couple of years ago,
Found out that only select 2 out of 200+ applicants ....
Very Tough Selection Criteria, Or MayB Quota very Few that Year ....
Using Dance for DSA is Quite Tough ....

For Badminton, is She in the School Team?
Good Chance of DSA IF Got Win Medals in Inter-school, etc ....
Also U Got to See if School U May B interested in with DSA-Sports have Badminton or Not ....

By the Way, DSA is For P6 only ....
U Still Got 2 years, P3 & P4, to Decide (P5, P6 Don't Count - Coz Got to Get Results for These 2 years to Show to DSA Panel) ....

U R One Forward Thinking Mummy ....
:celebrate: :celebrate:

Thanks for replying my post.

nope, she just started badminton, not been chosen to be in the school team yet.

I heard that DSA only consider if the child alone win medal. if whole team win medal, it doesn't count. Is that true?
so, what kind of medal must win to consider good? gold/silver/bronze or 1st/2nd runner up?

CHC123:

My daughter was on ortho k lens for two weeks. She always complained that her eyes were pain after i put in the eye drop for her in the morning before i took out the lens. Her eyes were always red when she wakes out every morning and she cannot open her eyes. Even i the evening after i put in the lens for her the moment the eyes turned red also. Can anyone advise? I was worried because i do not want anything happened to her eyes and i already paid in full for the lens of more thank 1k. :?:

what's your optometrist say?

in the beginning stage, eye discharge or redness is normal. after a while, the eye will get better. If situation prolong, you may need to check with your optometrist

thanks a lot

Below is extracted from my blog:


I did some research on major orthor-k providers in Singapore. Here is their service and price comparison. Hope can benefit other parents as well.

The Point Optical group
------------------------------
Price range: $1500-2200 for two years
The full package include:
- every 2 month eye checkup
- lense cleaning service
- 1 pair of spectacle for backup
- Free change of the lenses if eyes grow within 2 years

Replacement of the lenses: $800-1100 per pairs

I negotiate with the boss for 1 month trial for $200. If not suitable to wear, can change to other product.
As my child's myopia is consider low, I am not sure about other degree. You may mention my case to see if can get the same rate for the trial.

St Issac
----------
- Price range is $1800-$2400 for 1st year
- consultation fee: 1st time $55 for a year
- Subsequent year at $45 yearly registration.
- replacement lens at $650/pair

- price range: $1950 for 1st year
- subsequent follow-up $250 every year

- price range $1600-$1800, including 2 pairs of FOC myopia lens (no frame). Check up every 3 month.
- replacement lens at $800/pair
- do not provide cleaning of lens

Good luck with your myopia prevention.

I was searching through the forum and very happy to find this posting, it's very useful as my girl is in the same situation.

I do have a few questions:

1. which branch of The Point Optics Group did you go to? can you please also share with me the detail of your optometrist.

I check on the web they have a few branches. I am staying in the west so likely to try the CCK branch. The other choice is Mee Mee Optics @BT Plaza but they don't have trial period

(anyone try Ortho-K with Mee Mee Optics before? any feedbacks please?)

2. you mentioned about free lens cleaning service, is that a regular service required and for those shop that does not provide free cleaning, do we just pay a fee or we can do it ourself at home?

3. On average, how much extra time is needed to finish this rountine ? 10 mins at night and 10 min in the morning? My girl is in the morning session so guess that means she got to wake up even earlier for this

many thanks.

I will try to answer your question to my best knowledge.
1. It doesn't matter which branch. The boss himself only do ortho-k, nothing else. he will travel around the branches. Just make a appointment at branch which is near to you. e.g. I first meet him at marina, sebsequently I asked him to meet me at tampines branch which more convenient for me. I will go and find the name card and pm you.

For MeeMee, I called before. They seems quite busy with other spectacle business. If you just check for the suitability without commit, you will need to bear the checkup cost.

2. some provide cleaning service, some don't.
my optometrist provide checking and cleaning of lense free every 2 months.

3. just put on the lense, take less than 3 min if the child get use to the procedure. if take out, it is even faster.
you can help with the cleaning if morning time is too rush.

Hope it useful to you.

poi ching has higher chance of getting in.
