Re: DSA 2024

Competition in DSA Sports is getting tougher and tougher by the year. We will soon see kids who are not just sports-inclined appearing at the DSA Sports trials and interviews. Very, very soon enough, u will find sports-talented kids who are also academically strong, n who also have good leadership roles showing up next to u at a sports DSA trial/interview. hahah… Really ironic - defeats the entire purpose of a Sports DSA avenue for kids. This situation has been brought about & exacerbated by some applicants who appear to be manipulating this DSA system just to get into the more sought-after schools. Can foresee that this situation is just going to get worse in the near future.

i don’t see the irony. everyone wants to get into top schools. and top schools will accept the best athlete through the sports trial as long they meet the cut off point

competition is getting tougher each year coz parents are spending more money on external training and kids are also starting to train at at earlier age. this is also good coz it pushes the level of our singapore young atheletes up

Hi all, do you know what sort of questions they will ask? and what are they looking for?

@randomblackore if DSA into schools that are not the top few, then its a lot easier. you represent school in NSG, you take part in some competitions, don’t mess up your interview and you should be ok.

@randomblackore if you want to DSA into top schools, then your son needs to be top 10 or top 20 in singapore for his year. Every parent in this catergory are pushing their kids really hard. So my opinion is that if you don’t push him, then he will not be as good as those that are being pushed.

@randomblackore
my son got into sec 1 this year through table tennis DSA. It was really intense. 2 times a week school training. 3-4 times a week private training. So he was literally training 5-6 days a week every month.

@Sonny7RG7 not heard anything so far. I wish RGS would inform parents and students soon, even if application was unsuccessful (especially if it’s a unsuccessful - then we can go out for ice-cream, close this chapter, and fully concentrate on upcoming exams without distraction).

i so agree with you. I don’t understand why they need to long to make a decision on this. the wait is killing me

@kylene is there a FB page where we can get latest info on DSA news?

any news from anyone? i am waiting for Cat High sports…

anyone has news on Cat High sports domain? when are they sending out CO/WL/rejection? and last year, did they send out late too?
