Hello, May I know if sec schools look at primary 5 SA2 results alone, or cumulatively total score the whole p5 year including SA2 and WAs through the p5?

I always hear primary 5 results are important but wonder if it’s SA2 or whole year overall score.

To check on \" Consistency \" -

school Principal(s) will look at your kid's P5 results, the entire whole year round !

Never just look at a tiny, narrow microscopic snapshot time frame of only P5 year end results SA2, to draw conclusion(s) about the pupil (student) concerned.

No it isn't needed to DSA, but they will need to take HCL if they get into SAP schools like HCI and NYGH. Other IP schools offer both Higher and normal Chinese.

Hello, we are looking at applying for DSA in 2024. We understand that it’s now done through MOE online system. Does this mean that a physical portfolio is not needed? The school will retrieve necessary details from MOE cockpit and all relevant photos, certificates etc will uploaded onto the online platform by us?

A lot of info u requesting for, has been discussed before. Your question is not new.

Thus, either
u can go back to the beginning of this thread,

OR

go to read several more than 10 years of DSA thread, with all the info there. You can find the answers over there.

By the way,
DSA 2023 is already over and done with. What you are asking for is DSA 2024 thread.
As such,


Moderator,

can u please proceed to lock this year 2023 DSA thread ? Otherwise, a flood gate of people will come in here, to start posing questions.

Thank you.

It's impossible to happen
The school cannot confirm in advance how many people will give up their CO, so it is not possible to notify the WL in advance to convert to CO.

Compared to the previous years, the DSA 2023 topic seems somewhat ‘quiet.’ As of now, there are only 200+ pages.

Hi all, do those students from non-mainstream school receive an email to confirm about their school offer on 22/11/23 (DSA -CO)? Can returning Singaporeans qualified for the various scholarships or bursary? (Usually PSLE students’ letter will state the information) TIA!
