Hi, for those who were shortlisted for SCGS (leadership), could you share your DD's profile? My DD's from a neighbourhood school. Her overall AL in P5 and P6 are 4-6 and is a head prefect. She won the edusave scholarship and eagles awards but was not shortlisted. Need closure. Thanks!

Hi,
My daughter shortlisted for interview via leadership to SCGS.
She is CCA leader, won Edusave awards, eagles award last Yr. P5 result AL7.
Won many local and international awards for her school CCA. No community work outside school.

I'm really impressed with other children portfolio that some parents share for the leadership roles.

Best wishes to all.

Oh will send to husband’s also? When u applied whose email did u use? I don’t remember putting hubby’s email though.

My hubby submit the DSA application using his email. But in DSA portal we keyed in both parents information including email. Usually both of us will receive notifications for everything pertaining to DSA. Only RGS omit me out.
If we are offered CO we need to accept the offer using both parents Singpass. We did like that for our elder child.

No. She was not called for any interviews.

Hi all,

We received rejection email for RGS leadership today. It was only send to hubby email. Not both parents email.
RGS will sent rejection email to unsuccessful applicants. We received it last year too.

I'm a parent who has seen through my two kids undergone DSA.

My DD1 went through DSA with NUSH and RGS three years ago. She was offered CO by RGS and rejected by NUSH. She was in GEP, received gold award for MO, scored high 90s in Math and Science, good overall academic results throughout primary school obtaining high achiever awards in school. Her preferred choice was NUSH, but since she was rejected by NUSH, she accepted the CO for RGS.

My DD2 is taking PSLE and she went through DSA for NUSH and RGS this year. She is given CO by both schools. She is also from GEP, strong in Math and Science, qualified for Science Masterclass organised by MOE & NUSH, represented her school for the selection of IMSO(International Math & Science Olympiad), received Gold award for SPSO and Silver award for NMOS, good in her overall academic results throughout primary school obtaining high achiever awards in school. Her recent Prelim results is AL5.

Both my girls have pretty similar overall academic achievements. One possible reason I reckon why my DD2 clinched a CO from NUSH and not my DD1 is that DD2 has demonstrated greater aptitude and passion for Math and Science. DD2 always enjoys learning math and science and read beyond curriculum. She was over the moon when she received the CO from NUSH and has decided to accept the CO.

The reason I cited is in line with what NUSH has indicated during their open house and on their website ---that they are looking for kids who are not only strong in Math and Science but should possess passion and excellent aptitude in the subjects, which they have mentioned that they have their way to suss out.

IMO, for those kids who have not been granted CO from NUSH even though you may have excellent results, it could possibly be because they are not the \"student profile\" that NUSH is looking for. Since NUSH's Math and Science curriculum is highly accelerated (more than and beyond that of the top IP schools), they do need kids to have strong aptitude in the subjects in ensuring that the kids are able to keep up with the rigour of the curriculum.

Hi,

Thank you for taking time, sharing in detail your children profiles. 1st and foremost :congrats:

I am keen to know on the 1st filtration before the students are selected for the interview . I attended the NUSH virtual open house and was given the impression that, GEP or won any medals are not the main criteria. They are looking for interest in science/math base on participation on science/math activities.
How will they know that a student is passionate about science? NUSH said they will fish out the passionate and talented 1 during interview. But before that the student need to be granted opportunity for interview 1st right?

So academic and competition medals definitely plays the 1st important role before given chance for interview.
I am hoping to know if
-GEP having better chance getting the interview?
- Won medals at Math Science competition gives better chance for interview?

If yes for the above, maybe we just skip the school and save the DSA application spot for another school.

Dear Parents,


For those child who receive CO/WL from NUSH can you kindly share the profile of your child? It will be very helpful for parents like me who looking into future DSA. Wish to gauge are we in the range or should give the school a miss. TIA

Hi,
Got CO from SOTA thru LA.
I would like to know the school environment in SOTA. How's the students discipline there? Does the school emphasize on discipline and character development?
Do they segregate the class from Y1 base on the academic results?
Which way better into local university? IB or IP programme? Every input is valuable.
Hope to hear from all so we can make informed decision. Thank you.

Hi, my DD received CO for dance too. Wondering what's the uni course she can goes to after the IB program. By the way, there's an email invitation to SOTA e-Cohort and Parents Engagement Programme (e-CPEP) on Saturday, 16 October 2021, maybe you can find out more during this engagement programme.

Noted on that. Thank you.
