Direct School Admission

RS may also seek admission to selected secondary schools at Secondary One by participating in the Direct School Admission (DSA) Exercise. The DSA Exercise provides schools with greater flexibility in selecting students at Secondary One by using criteria other than PSLE results to allow a more diverse range of pupil achievements and talents to be recognised. Applicants’ talents and achievements in both academic and non-academic areas will determine if they will be selected for direct admission into a secondary school.  Each school has its own merit-based academic and non-academic criteria for selection. These are based on the qualities, such as talent in science, music or sports, that the school would like to emphasize. To assess these qualities in applicants, schools may conduct tests, interviews or trials as necessary.

For the application procedure and/or more information, please refer to the DSA-Sec website.
