Hi tt
Thanks, didn't know the tea session has been changed earlier, tried calling Mr Shahfiq but he was on leave on Friday.

Hallelujah:

I just received Rejection letter from RV by post today. Those had not received, might be CO...

No. I don't think so. I still haven't received any news since now. But my DS hasn't been invited to interview and no noticification yet so far although I know he was being kicked out from successful application.
Anyway, still got psle going on. Work hard![/quote]

I was informed that CO was only sent out yesterday. Looking forward to Monday's mail.[/quote]



Were you informed by RV of that? Does it mean that letters received on Monday will all be COs? RV's DSA process is tedious and is the last school to give out results. I am waiting too. [/quote]

Yes, I was told: CO will be sent out today(Friday).

Hi MMM


My son DSA via badminton. Not too sure if there is an academic requirement but he is averaging at 80% for P4 and P5. Yes they do consider the P6 SA1 result and CO is subject to passing as express student for PSLE

Badminton DSA was tough- it was round robin for about 4 hours. There were about 40 DSA students and a knocked out system till the final 12. We were told that MSHS would offer to 7 students for badminton. I had been to a few schools for DSA, MSHS was one of the thoughest!

Sorry, can't help much with the band; my nephew graduated yr 2011 with good 'O' level score. He was from the band, I understand this CCA took up quite a fair bit of his time but he enjoyed it. He took it as his CCA and not via DSA but it did help him with his admission to a good JC though as the band won quite a few awards.

Hi QLL,

Thanks so much for sharing. Did he have to go through any face to face interviews with teachers/ principal, etc...?

Actually, I am also planning for DSA for my P5 dd. TKGS is one of the targetted schools and they specified overall 70% in their form. However, in MSHS, nothing was written. I am trying to drive him to work hard towards a MSHS DSA. I can't tell his standard for now as P5 is another big jump as seen in my dd's case. But I told him that he must be at least meet the TKGS standard. If his results is poor, no point thinking about band or DSA.... as the minimum score is eligibility to be in express stream.

Yes band is always very time consuming especially near competition/ performance. But I rather he spend time in the band than idling in Nex It's always good for kids to have a passion. At this moment, he does 1.5 days of band per week as he is into some other MOE program as well. Alot of his seniors went to MSHS. His pri school has a very good band and he has the passion. So MSHS appears to be the perfect place for him to pursue his passion since he heard good feedback from his seniors and MSHS also has a very good band too. Trying to work towards that and hopefully he make it in 2 years time. :xedfingers:

BTW, do you know if most of the primary boys from Marists ended up in MSHS? As in no/ very low COP for them? Are there any normal stream in Marists? I raised this as was just reading about bullying cases in the primary section. I always see the MSHS boys in Nex and they seem well behaved so just trying to gauge the behavioural aspect.

HI MMM

There was no interview for DSA sport.

If your DS has passion in band, encourage him to try for MSHS. As long as he is discipline and has good attitude, he should be successful there. I saw the band's performance at the Botanical Garden and Esplanade, was indeed impressed by their performances.

My eldest son is in MSHS now. He was from a methodist primary school and had abit of a culture shock initially as MS is a SAP school. He is getting along fine now but boy being boy, needs kicking at times. Attitude is the most important for one to do well eventually.

I understand the COP for MS primary is lower to join MSHS, around 225. Correct me if I'm wrong, 225 should be slightly higher than average score for most primary schools. There were quite a few from the MS primary school when my son was in Sec one. Generally the school discipline is strict and I think the boys are rather well behaved within. Junction 8 used to be their favourite \" playground\" but with the opening of NEx which is one or two stations from Bartley circle line, it's not surprising to see a whole bunch there for lunch.

I see that the overally passing for 'O' level is high where almost 99% of the student getting into JC and Poly. Hopefully my son will be as successful; I won't worry much about the school's discipline as the discipline master is strict and will not hesitate to give a \"whip\" when the boys are not behaving. MSHS only accept students eligible for express stream. Hope this will help in your decision making.
