Dear Parents,

He is a president of student board, received academic achievement award P1-P4.

To the best of my knowledge:
1. Correct.
2. Correct.
3. Correct. However, for academic domains (math, science, english), there isn't really a CCA associated. We were told that if there is a competition like olympiad, debate, etc. then those who DSA-ed via the particular subject will have to join.

Hi parents

I have compiled a workbook to facilitate searching for secondary schools by DSA domains. Since COP and to a large extent, CCA, do not determine DSA matter much, have omitted them. Parents/ students may also do short listing of schools by area, and subjects keen in, etc

I have also created another workbook to facilitate short listing of secondary via COP. But this workbook is still using 2020 indicative COP.

Both workbooks best view on computer, not on phone

My DS got shortlisted for MEP for TJC. We are asked to submit his video recording of his pieces by 9 July.

Hi Notzemum,
do you mind sharing the details about the audition? like how many minutes max? how many pieces? any aural or SR test? Any info would be usefull.
Thank you.
