Sure. Vice-head prefect. Chairperson Art club. Community service activities only those done within school period. For P5 and mid-year, both AL7. In the DSA submission (RGS Leadership and RGS Visual Art), kiasufully filled up the max 10 “non-school achievements”. Intent was to exhibit being an all-rounder, so all her arts, music, sports, debate, etc, we just laid it out on the table 😂 also the ECHAs and EAGLEs awards should count for something too
My daughter had a very similar profile to AHsDad's kid. The one exception was that she only scored AL10 for her P5 SA2 (which was below the norm for her). She didn't get an interview at RGS and we suspected it's because her P5 score fell below some sort of cut off they had.
We had a similar experience at NYGH where she was interviewed but did not get an offer, while a classmate with a weaker leadership portfolio did get a CO. The other girl just so happened to be the school's top scorer at P5.
All ended well for us because she later scored AL5 at PSLE and had the pick of the schools. But we definitely took away that leadership DSA at the top schools isn't just about leadership.
