How do we receive the DSA letter? By post or need to collect from school?


Thanks

MOE wil send it to the school.[/quote]

My son came back from school today. I thought the school will give the letter to him, but they didn't. Either the school didn't receive it from MOE or they will not be giving it directly to the students.

Anyone received the DSA letter so far?[/quote]

Mine didn't receive too.

The school called to collect the form during the PSLE marking week.


Submission is to be done between 26 Oct and 30 Oct. It can be done online.

My son received his DSA Preference Form today from the school. Application to be made online starting 9am on 26 Oct until 3 pm on 30 Oct. Hardcopy can also be submitted via the primary school.


If you do not submit the preference of the school by 3 pm on 30 Oct, your child is deemed to have withdrawn from the DSA-Sec Exercise. Then, your child will need to participate in the S1 Posting Exercise upon the release of PSLE results.

Hope this helps for those who have yet to receive the form.

Yes, received & submitted.

If your child has been offered confirmed places in more than one school, do you put down only one school in your option form, or more than one, in order of preference? I’m thinking just putting one is enough because you have a confirmed place in that school already so no point putting a second choice, right? Can someone please confirm? Thanks.

My son didn't receive the letter either. He called up another friend who confirmed that he also did not receive it. Maybe they will get the letter today; I told my son to ask his teacher.

I don't think it really matters either way. But in my older son's case, we just put down all three confirmed choices anyway in order of preference.

If your son is being offered DSA by 3 schools, RI, HCI and ACS(I), which one will you choose?
