Hi, I 've been following this DSA 2023 from pg 1 til now, and not much parents share about their kids DSA application.

Kindly allow me to ask your opinions & thoughts, which IP schools shd my DS aims for his DSA Leadership ? RI, HCI, CHS, DHS or RVHS ? And what are the chances to get CO from these schools ?
Not sure if these schools also looking for others such as character, behavior, academics or sports as overall in term of selection?
3rdly, heard that the interview is very difficult as most of shortlisted failed at this stage, really ?

He studies neighborhood school, Vice Head Prefect & CCA Badminton Capt.(since P5).
Received school model pupil awards since P3, as well as MOE awards like Eagles, Character & Good Progress.
Last yr P5 scored overall AL8 (HCL=UG, both languages at border line of AL3). If not applying DSA and solely depending on his PSLE results, high risk to maintain AL8.

Last yr sch. picked to participate Innovation Program (2022 1st time opened to Pri level), Science Competitions (SPSO/RSO/VANDA/Science Busker), Math Competitions (SMO/PSMathlympics/MNOS) and Chinese (NCC).
But just won Bronze from SPSO. This yr so far PSMathlympics.

For CCA Badminton, Practicing his skills trained by his coach since P1. not much Badminton competitions due to
Covid (sad....). Last yr won 1st Team Placing (Tier-2 Doubles) at local event Junior Div Boy NSG. This yr, sch. team he played lost in Prelim. Rd Senior Div Boy NSG eventhough his doubles won throughout the games. Btw, his height now likes Sec student.

As I observed, applying DSA Leadership got better chance compared to DSA Badminton coz Badminton is a famous sport & expecting alot of kids who played better than him applying DSA Badminton so his chance to get CO very slim.

So far didn't discuss much with him about DSA as wanted him to stay focus on his study+exam on Term 1 & mid-yr exam.

Appreciated your advices for this un-decisive dad.
Thanks.

Finally received email from HCI for DSA Leadership interview. I talked to my kid don't put high hope on it. No matter what, let's focus on PSLE...

I think for your child to get shortlisted (Vice Head Prefect) isn’t difficult. The challenge is to display the qualities beyond what’s being presented.

if you read the criteria for Leadership talent area, most schools (especially IP and popular schools) are going beyond profile and asking for concrete evidences / actual display of leadership in action. Those are the questions that will trip over most students because beyond this title and that title, a lot of them don’t have the experience of organizing community / school based activities that impact a sizable group of people.

Agree.
Probably need to prepare the interview portion as how to showcase himself to the school.
Thanks, floppy.
