Hi parents, woukd like to have some advices.
DD is in sports CCA, sch clinched 4th in NSG this yr, 1st for Zonal NSG last yr. Took a couple of competitons for nothing fantastic in her personal ranking.

She has been learning ballet for many years (since 2 yrs old), received grade 4 RAD cert and will not be in time to receive grade 5 by the time of submission of DSA. She truly loves dance and wants to pursue further in sec sch and she is aiming for DHS. however, other than RAD certification, she does not has any further competitions or performances achievements. She is working on her 1 min dance video for application.

Her p5 results ain't great as she was too busy with CCA and external trainings & competitions for her sports, and was around AL15. This year her results improved greatly, but there is no WA nor mid year..

A few qns here:
1) based on the above, should she try for sports DSA as 1st option, or dance?

2) without performances or competition achievements, what are her chances to DSA into DHS dance? I had gone thru the entire chat but seems like only 1 parent brought up on dance DSA for DHS- is it a less popular choice so higher chances of being shortlisted?

3) read in this thread that DHS will first filter students out based on P5 grades. Does that mean she stands almost no chance as she scored AL15 last yr?

Thanks for all advices!

Couple of years ago, my daughter's classmate was offered a CO by DHS dance domain. Her results were average for P5, in her 70s each subject. Never try never know

I always hold the view that DSA can be a dangerous thing. If a student DSA into a school base on CCA alone, there is a pretty high chance that he/she will spend alot of time on the CCA, and neglect their studies. I have seen too many such cases already. The school brings the child in to win awards of the school. But at the end of the day, the student does not do well for their national exams, and wasted many years of their life.

Depends on school... my daughter did not went into her sch with dsa but they all had the same amount of training sessions with those dsa students...
And if I am not wrong schools these days still do look into the academics of the kid to make sure they are not too far off from their AL to make sure they eventually can manage both cca and academics..

I heard news that Anglican High is accepting G2 (normal academic) students from 2024. Is it true?

I paid for a review - the vice principal told me its a re-mark of the papers. Not just counting the marks. Not sure how true. But the results will only be successful or unsuccessful with no details given.

Hi can elaborate more? Unexpectedly good or bad as compared to their school prelims?

Most I heard gets an AL much lower. Some students who consistently has AL1 gets a 3 or more.
I still believe there is moderation to some extend even in this new AL system.
Having said that I think I will make an appeal. Though highly likely not going to change anything but just for some closure and move on 😀

I read on fb a lot kids actually have a score for math which was unexpected. Anyone here has heard about it too?

Can I ask if anyone here has feedback on Holy innocents high?

There was one Chinese LC question that split the class in half. Surprising really cos most of those kids were top scorers in Prelim. English was slightly easier.

Was it question 6?
