Some schools mix both DSA (non-academic) and t-score students, however there are schools which allocate DSA (non-academic) students to separate classes than t-score and DSA (academic) students (openly or quietly). You may ask your target school during Open House or check with existing seniors school mate / club mate that has DSAed into the school.
If you DSA sports to the school, most likely you will be in the school team (and follow full training session) and will be expected to participate / contribute in the inter school competition starts from Secondary 1 (Div C).

Just a note to add on...

DSA just means the student has signed a commitment to stick with the school/ domain for their years in the school. However, even if a non-DSA student subsequently joins any CCA, he/ she is also expected to participate in all the full trainings/ practices and contribute like any DSA student. The sports teams and performing groups are not made up of just DSA students. So there is little or no difference in the training schedules or intensity.

The only difference is that the non-DSA students can appeal to change CCA since they have not signed any commitment. There will be, of course, peer pressure, school spirit, pride and other aspects of secondary school life to consider if they leave the CCA.

Helpful! Thanks!

Hi hi, grateful for those who shared all the valuable information. I really learnt a lot from here.
Does anyone here knows after successfully enter Secondary school through DSA (sports), how would the school allocate the class of DSA students? Are they classed separately from the those using T score? Does the school really have a special program / topic in their curriculum for the DSA sports students which the rest doesn't attend?

Thanks!
