|
Stage 2 of the Direct School Admission
Exercise for students seeking admission to Secondary One in 2006 (DSA-Sec),
the Exercise School Preference Stage, will be conducted between 13 and
19 Oct 2005. |
|
The DSA-Sec exercise is being conducted in
three stages as follows: |
|
 |
|
Update on Completion of Stage 1 ¨C
Selection Stage |
|
The Selection Stage of the DSA-Sec Exercise
has been successfully completed. All 43 secondary schools participating
in the DSA-Sec Exercise completed their selection exercises by 31 Aug
05. |
|
During the Selection Stage, these schools
received a total of over 9,000 applications from more than 5,000
students1. The schools made a combined total of about 2,000
confirmed offers2 to prospective students with another almost
500 applications put on their respective waiting lists. |
|
Start of Stage 2 ¨C Exercise School
Preference Stage |
|
Students with confirmed offers or who are
placed on a school¡¯s waiting list will receive from their primary
schools on 12 Oct 2005, the DSA School Preference Form. Each form will
have a list of schools that student has a confirmed offer from or is on
the school¡¯s waiting list. |
|
The students will be asked to indicate their
school choices in the order of their preference during this Exercise
School Preference Stage. A student can decline any of the offers from
the school he/she has a confirmed offer from or is on the school¡¯s
waiting list, by not making any choice on the DSA School Preference
Form. All offers that are not taken up during this period will lapse. |
|
The results of the DSA-Sec Exercise will be
released together with the PSLE results in late Nov 2005. Students who
have been admitted to a secondary school through the DSA-Sec Exercise
will be posted to the secondary school. There is thus no need for them
to indicate any school choices during the centralised Secondary One
Posting Exercise. |
