If he really wants to go in, then put in down in the selection. There is a good chance that many of them applied for both sst and nush, since they attract students who are strong in math and science. So thise who got co for both may likely opt for nush, thus giving a spot to wl.

Hi
Trying to find out in details what SST is looking for
for those who received CO from SST
Kindly share the portfolios of your child
Greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Both my children got CO for SST
My older son, joined in 2016. During primary school, good in math usually A* while science is hover between B and A. Langauge wise is just B. Particiapted in a few math olypiad, but didn't get any medal.

My daugther got a CO this year. Math is AL1, Science hover between AL3 and AL4. For both language also hover around AL3 and 4.
Joined Math olympaid since P3. Got bronze, silver, bronze since P4. She is a very quiet and shy girl, I didn't expect her to do well in the phase 2 which may require the student to speak up. Glad that she did.

What is the latest girls to boys ratio in this school? Is it still 1: 5?

Number of applicants and competitiveness of the DSA process are two separate things.

That may not be the case because if more parents start to prep their DC for DSA, eg. sending their DCs for MO and SO enrichment and competition, then we can expect more applicants of similar credentials or porfolio vying for the limited DSA slots.

If psle enrichment/tuitions aren't enough..😓 Add on DSA enrichment.

6-year Programme to A Level? Won’t happen. Don’t wait for it. That’s not what the SST was designed for.

Notwithstanding, they have already launched a “through train programme” towards a STEM based diploma in NP end last year.[/quote]

SST and Ngee ann poly are working out on an IP programme. Still no finalization yet.

[quote=ResilienceLC post_id=2016543 time=1614782036 user_id=191449]SST is still an O level school.
Meaning the student will still be required to sit for O level at the end of Year 4

What is different is for upper secondary combo, they took out literature and replace with one of the applied subjects to make it to 8 or 9 subjects.
So those who are not strong in literature this would be an advantage.

How is that different? Most schools would offer various subject combinations that don’t include literature as part of their 8 or 9 subjects.[/quote]Applied subjects as a replacement that stem students are likely to have the aptitude in learning.. Like my eldest son took computing, it was a bliss for him. FOr other schools, it will likely to be replaced with another humanities subject, SST needs to do just one.
