@rosm We need to confirm our attendance for the Aug 3 interview, and in that link there is a drop-down menu to indicate which domain you are for: Artistic gymnastics, badminton, basketball, chinese dance, chinese orchestra, concert band, netball, service leadership, string ensemble, table tennis, tennis, wushu. So I GUESS (really just GUESS, not confirmed) that these are the domains that will be having interview for Aug 3.

Hi has anyone received email for interview for NYGH Chinese Dance? Thank you!

@Isabel-Liu-Shixiang Maybe still sending out… my friend is waiting for RGS VA also

@Yehyeh00 RGS Chinese not out yet

May I ask if you happen to know roughly how many students will RGS take for Leadership DSA? Thank you!

putting 2 talent for the same identical school, can be common, for some girls. But not for all girls, though.

Example
=======

Some P6 girls are only interested in getting into one Secondary school : RGS, nothing else. Apart from RGS, they simply not interested in any other Secondary schools.
Why ?

Because they are confident that they can do well in PSLE, to enter RGS.
Eg.
They are confident of achieving
above 261 Tscore back then, under the old Tscore system.

For them, is RGS or nothing else. They not interested in adding in one more school for DSA, just to fill up the space given for maximum 3 DSA slots,
then
later towards the end of August when received CO news from the other Secondary school, end up in a dilemma situation :-
don't know what to do with this half hearted CO, to accept or turn down this CO ?
They don't want to waste time, applying for another DSA school. Is RGS, or nothing. Nothing meaning that,
if they failed at DSA (RGS),
then so be it.
They will still enter RGS, by PSLE route (Main door), through Tscore back then.

So, what they did was
applied for 2 different domain, inside RGS : Leadership + Mathematics

In the end,
this girl who is my friend's daughter back then in DSA 2019, from a popular SAP primary school :-

she wasn't successful for RGS (Maths), but RGS offered her Leadership CO, instead.
Out of the two domain which she applied for, RGS offered her only the one that they deem she is stronger, a better fit in, after evaluation & attending interview. She accepted the CO. Today, this girl is in IP (RGS), year 4 (2023).

=======================

To answer your question, u should ask your child,
because
your kid is the one, who is able to answer your qn -

How keen,
is your child, interested to enter whichever Secondary school she (he) is applying DSA for ?

1)
if your child is very keen, like in the above RGS illustration,
then
apply for 2 different domain, inside the same Secondary school.

OR

2)
if your child is only half hearted in that DSA school,
then
just apply for one domain, in each of the maximum 3 allocated DSA slots. Then see in the end, which Secondary school offer your child CO or Wait-list.

I have tried many times, create account, login, then place the order... but never able to get to the payment page... and the \"Contact Us\" doesnt work also... so i wonder if I can buy from the General Office. Really desperate to get one... looked at carousell and gumtree but cant find any seller also

Hi Parents


My girls keep losing their belts and the uniform shop refuses to sell just the belts alone. Any one has any idea where I can purchase similar belts?
:?:

Sorry i can’t help with where to buy new belts.

But I have a tip for not losing them again in future...and several other girls schools with pinafores do this:

Use a sewing machine to sew the belts onto the pinafore, permanently, on the left side. Then they will never again get detached.

P/S: Have u tried asking the General Office whether they have any spare belts in their Lost & Found Box? That could be a good source of unclaimed belts.

Good hack! thank you Zac's mum.
