Direct School Admission (DSA-Sec): Attend interviews, auditions or trials

2. Selection outcomes

Your child will find out whether they have been selected by Monday, 9 September 2024. There are 3 possible outcomes and some students may receive offers from multiple schools:

Confirmed Offer

Your child has a reserved place in the secondary school.

To gain admission, your child will still need to:

  • Opt for the school during the school preference submission period in October.
  • Achieve a PSLE score that qualifies them for a Posting Group offered by the school.
Wait List

Your child will be given a reserved place in the school if other students turn down their confirmed offers.

Your child will still need to:

  • Opt for the school during the school preference submission period in October.
  • Achieve a PSLE score that qualifies them for a Posting Group offered by the school.

In previous years, about half the students on the schools’ wait lists were eventually given a place.
Unsuccessful
 Your child has not been given a place through the DSA-Sec, and must take part in S1 Posting, if eligible.

Students with a confirmed offer or on a wait list will be able to submit up to 3 school preferences from 9am on Monday, 21 October 2024 to 3pm on Friday, 25 October 2024.
