Hello,
May I check the feedback on Cedar Girls school from parents who have kids in Sec 1 or Sec2.

Is there anyone who has joined via the DSA Social Innovation ? Can I know how was the selection Interview process.
How is it helping the child? Is it also the CCA the child will do under this DSA?

Thanks for all the help.

From the school website, SI is not a CCA. So that means other than commitment to SI, the student has to pick a CCA. As for the selection process, as in any non-sports DSA, and depending on demand, they will shortlist students who match their criteria while also looking at the academic results. The academic result cannot be too far off the COP. Eg school COP 8, student's AL is 10 to 12. So criteria first then follow by academic result. As for interview, it could be individual or as a group. There could be task for students to work together or individually.

Hello,


Any parents whose kid has taken Social Innovation (SI) via DSA?
How many hours, do they have to commit for SI every week?
How are your kids enjoying the school and the SI?
Non-sports CCAs are quite limited in the school, and I hear it is bit difficult to get into other CCAs as well ( few options and many students)

Hi…my daughter got AL 9, and she hopes to apply for Cedar. She is good in her presentation skills - both English and Chinese (her mom is Chinese but she is Singaporean). She is quite well-rounded. Do you think I should contact Cedar’s Principal to highlight my daughter’s talent in the hope that he considers her application favorably? Her second choice is Crescent. Thanks, Tony.

Don't think they will entertain, purely base on point
