Dunman High

A few years back (ago),
3 candidates turned up for interview (at Dunman High), at the final round :-

one P6 candidate from string ensemble,
another from guzheng,
third candidate from Chinese orchestra. These 3 candidates waited for their turn, one by one, to enter the Interview room.


1) Round 1 was
(Audition + a very fast, rapid Interview, by the Seniors who are students). More than 20+ candidates attended Round 1.


2) Round 2 was an interview, with
(Principal + VP (Academic) + music maestro) + another Officer present who never asked any question but was a quiet observer, keep jotting down notes as the candidate talked during the interview )

The music maestro will ask questions, in that area (specialization) u are musically strong in.

VP (Academic) will ask u other qns, non music related.

Dunman High is a SAP school.

During the interview, whoever asked u question in Chinese, then reply this Officer in Chinese. They want to hear your proficiency in Mandarin.
Otherwise, if the interviewer ask you questions in English, then just reply them in English.

At the end, they will ask you, \"Do you have any question, for us ?\" So, u may prepare this, in advance.

Thank you so much! This is very valuable experience!

Received email from DHS for interview on 3rd Aug (string ensemble). Curious about the take-up rate. Round 1 is to test DSA talent. Round 2 (interview) may check characters, whether fit to the school… seems different DSA applications will mixed for interview?

Got String Ensembles audition for NJC, Dunman High and SCG. NJC audition was very short with no conversation. I guess there will be 2nd round for interview for shortlisted students. Dunman High is next week and SCG is next Mon.

tx. he was invited bcoz he earned a spot in the SOTA P6 Creative Writing competition. https://www.sota.edu.sg/p6cwcom2022

Congrats! We got invitation too for violin because of attendance of Master Class. Just wondering any advantage of student got an invitation letter to TA versus normal application…

My daughter has demonstrated some talent in music (violin grade 8 with 2nd instrument of piano started 1 yr ago) and virtual art. She was shortlisted by Sota for violin after attending Sota master class, but I understand she still need to attend audition and interviews. Hence, we have submitted VA for Sota as the 2nd art form too. Would any parent share the experience of Sota DSA application?
