DSA Information Sheet
Considerations :
1) Know your child :
-Does she want to continue in that CCA in the secondary school?
-Manage her expectations, stress level and morale in applying for DSA
- Can she cope with the academic rigour in the school?
2) Understand the school
- Culture, vision, mission and values
-CCAs / Special Programmes
-Match between the school’s strengths / niche and your child’s talents
Do note
P6 students have a choice whether or not to participate in the DSA-Sec. If they choose not to participate in the DSA-Sec, they will participate in the Secondary One Posting Exercise after the release of the PSLE results.
Students who opt for a school under DSA-Sec must achieve PSLE results that would enable them to be eligible for admission to the course being offered by their opted DSA-Sec schools.
Applicants admitted to a school through DSA-Sec will not be allowed to participate in the annual Secondary One Posting Exercise. They will also not be allowed to appeal to other secondary
schools
Applicants who are admitted to the secondary schools because of their CCA achievements will be obliged to continue in that CCA

FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN CHOOSING THE 6 SCHOOLS
Learning … Creativity … Graciousness … Responsibility … Integrity
1) Choose schools that are comparable to your child’s academic ability
Reference
- Child’s academic performance in school - Secondary schools’ cut-off scores in previous year
Include a range of schools in the selection
Rank order of choices School
1st & 2nd choices Cut-off above her T-score (no more than 5 points)
3rd – 4th choices Cut-off within her T-score
5th – 6th choices Cut-off below her T-score (5 – 10 points below)
Learning … Creativity … Graciousness … Responsibility … Integrity
Note the cut-off points will change depending on demand for places & vacancies
If your child’s PSLE T-score is near the school’s 2015 cut-off, her chance in being admitted to the school is slimmer compared to those whose T-score is much higher
Learning … Creativity … Graciousness … Responsibility … Integrity
2) Child’s personality / character 3) Distance 4) School programmes & school culture 5) Affiliated schools

• Set realistic targets and work out a schedule / time-table with your child
• Moderate the work given by outside sources eg tutor, enrichment centre, etc. Work from school takes priority
• Provide ‘spaces’
