      :thankyou for the info. So if given a CO for school A and subsequently placed school A CO as second choice, there may be a chance that the kid may not get school A in the event that 1st choice is not successful too?

      A CO is a CO. Schools cannot back out unless you reject them during the preference ranking.
      So in my case if the WL did not convert, my DD will be moved to school #2 which she already got CO.

      This was also clearly explained to me by School #1 to put them as WL and even if not successful, DD will be moved to school #2 with CO.

      For everyone’s reference if it may be helpful…

      Timelines based on DD’s DSA 2022:

      9th Sept: Received the last of the 3 schools sent out email on offers (MOE dateline was by 12th Sept)
      4th Oct: Finished last PSLE paper (Science- no she did not take HMTL)
      27th Oct: Email by “postman.gov.sg” to inform for school preference submission. (31st Oct - 4th Nov) This must be done even if you only have one school with CO or WL else you want to forgo the offers, you can choose to ignore and not submit.
      31st Oct: Submitted school preference:
      1st school- WL
      2nd school- CO
      23rd Nov: received PSLE results + confirmed school allocation (another piece of paper from MOE) to 1st ranked school. DD’s WL was converted to CO.

      Hi parents, woukd like to have some advices.
      DD is in sports CCA, sch clinched 4th in NSG this yr, 1st for Zonal NSG last yr. Took a couple of competitons for nothing fantastic in her personal ranking.

      She has been learning ballet for many years (since 2 yrs old), received grade 4 RAD cert and will not be in time to receive grade 5 by the time of submission of DSA. She truly loves dance and wants to pursue further in sec sch and she is aiming for DHS. however, other than RAD certification, she does not has any further competitions or performances achievements. She is working on her 1 min dance video for application.

      Her p5 results ain't great as she was too busy with CCA and external trainings & competitions for her sports, and was around AL15. This year her results improved greatly, but there is no WA nor mid year..

      A few qns here:
      1) based on the above, should she try for sports DSA as 1st option, or dance?

      2) without performances or competition achievements, what are her chances to DSA into DHS dance? I had gone thru the entire chat but seems like only 1 parent brought up on dance DSA for DHS- is it a less popular choice so higher chances of being shortlisted?

      3) read in this thread that DHS will first filter students out based on P5 grades. Does that mean she stands almost no chance as she scored AL15 last yr?

      Thanks for all advices!

      Hihi,
      If it is a school she wants, then suggest to put both domains for one school. Example: Sports + Dance in DHS.

      However, she really needs to commit to 4 years of what she chooses. So decide carefully.

      We wanted to put in leadership + sport back then, but end up just sport because she cant bear doing other things other than sports for the 4 years of sec school. (Sports: school was 1st in zonal. Last year there was no nationals for her sport)

      Also, my daughter’s acad results were similar to yours at P5, and it got even worse for prelims (AL16) but she managed to pull through close to the school’s COP which is similar to DHS.

      Dont lose hope. 💪🏻

      Hi,

      My son P4 got selected for Math Olympiad and E2K Math in school. I can’t seem to find any discussion thread on E2K math, anyone knows what is this? As for Science, I saw in the thread it is more like experiments outside of classroom scope. But what about E2K math? Anyone can shed some light?

      Congrats 😄

      Hmm.....is your DSA netball? I wonder if this has got to do with @Tick16 giving up SCGS CO which allows your WL converted to CO :idea:

      Great observation. Would like to know too. 🙂 and Congrats!
