You meant your child has gone for the 1st interview and waiting for 2nd interview?
Or he went for the trial and waiting for interview?
If if it the second case, I am afraid SJI has already called up all successful candidates by Tuesday last week.
Cos my son’s friends received interview letter last week. My friend didn’t receive for her son so she called SJI, and was told that all letters have been sent out for successful candidates from all domains.
You may want to call SJI to confirm.

Hi any idea which domain was that? Cos there were still ongoing trials only last Sat 15 Jul.

Did anyone receive any update from TJC following MEP selection trial ? I’m asking because kid attended the selection trial and I wonder if there’s another round of interview because there was a short interview conducted during the day of audition.

I see...then yours still has chance since it took place later Do keep us updated in case you are called for 2nd round :rahrah:

Please don’t assume anything. The staff are doing things manually with tables and probably excel files. So it will take time.

During the selection trial at Temasek Junior College, ask your son or daughter : who actually interviewed him (her), that day ?

Was it those Senior students, who interviewed him (her) ? Was the school Principal or VP around, when they interviewed him (her), that day ?

If is only those few Senior students who interviewed him (her) during the selection trial that day, without the presence of neither VP nor P around,
then

Yes, definitely there will be Round (2) formal interview, together with the DSA Teacher present, overall in charge of selecting / picking students for the Music DSA domain talent, together with either the P or VP present, provided

your child gets short-listed, for Round (2) interview.

Sometimes, if P is busy, then VP will attend & take over or vice versa.

P : Principal

Why ?

Because

only the P or VP, together with the DSA Music Teacher overall in charge, have the authority to decide : whether to give CO or Wait list or rejection, to short-listed applicants. Those few Senior students cannot, they don't have this authority to. They are merely students, though they may be Senior(s) in school, either in Sec 2 or in Upper Sec.

The staff referred to those sports trials on 8 July, a number of sports on that day such as track and field, Taekwondo (I guess based on the uniform), badminton etc. as well as Visual Arts. The staff could have referred to those trials / tests happening before the day of the call (12 July).

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure the the P or VP is around but pretty sure the there were 2 or more teachers in charge of DSA for music specifically around during the interview and audition. It's seemed to me like a panel (Def no students around) but I merely waited at one side and did not enter so I couldn't be sure.

Also from the kid's explanation, the questions posed were similar to what we would have expected for the supposed interview. And there were pretty clear explanation given on what to expect when selected specifically to the CCA that kid could pick from. Hence I wonder if there would be another interview if it's to answer the same set of qns.
