Now that the portal is open, I'm sure this thread is going to become busy so I will get my question in fast. This is more for people who've been through DSA before or have some experience of the schools in question.

My son wants to enter through Science academic but he is currently failing Chinese so we need to be strategic. The R & H schools were never on our radar anyway. SST will be our first choice then we may have to use up his 3rd choice with a safe bet of Robotics into his affiliated school in case he misses the cut-off.

So we are left with one more choice - Tanjong Katong Sec or ASCI. Very different schools but we've heard good things about both. We are thinking that ACSI may view his Chinese as less of an issue but we have concerns around the \"rich boy\" environment. His younger brother will have Tanjong Katong as a choice next year through football.

Any thoughts?

I think it is good that your child has an affiliated secondary school provided he meets the affiliation cut off and puts it as his first choice.

“The “rich boy” environment of ACSI” should not be a big concern for you as the rich poor divide issue exists more in the adults’ minds than the boys. In fact, if one has less wealth, they can look at it as a good thing to enrol in perceived higher social economic status schools as they are adding to the diversity of the student population. If everyone is put off applying for these schools, then the schools may become more enclosed and that is not good. RI/ HCI also have their fair share of rich boys. They are everywhere!

It is important to build confidence in your children and that we should not let social class issues put us off choosing the most suitable school for our children. In the real world, inequality exists, so it is best to cultivate in our children good and healthy coping mechanism. There are programs in place currently to increase the student diversity in so called elite schools such as Edusave Independent Schools Scholarship, Uplift Scholarships and MOE independent school bursary as well as Financial assistance programme.

Hi

Hi all


My DD will be registering for Primary1 next year(2020) for starting P1 in year 2021. She is on DP. We are here in Sg since last 9 yrs. My elder son will be in sec 1 in 2020. Currently P 6 in local school. He was lucky enough to get through in a neighbourhood school although we had to move from East to North accepting the MOE’s allocated school. We are happy with the current school.

Now my question is -
1) can my DD be considered under as a sibling of an alumini ( also under phase 3 ) in same school ? Does MOE consider this point while we apply for indication of interest ? Pls share any reviews

2) if not (1) , what are the chances of being allocated a place in any local school kinda any advantage of the older sibling ?
3) even if lucky enough to be allocated a place, does MOE consider the distance of siblings sec school … can we mention the sibling’a details in the “indication of interest” while applying in June ? Thus in order to consider the entire family’s commute time to minimal.

Your replies will help us prepare for the upcoming tasks next year . Thanks
