Homework Policy
Important Dates to note
What are the examination dates?
The school will register our P6 students for PSLE from 9 March to 27 March 2015
• Students’ subject combinations (Foundation and/or Standard) take into consideration their respective levels of mastery of content knowledge and skills
• Students are therefore strongly discouraged from changing their subject combinations after PSLE registration

Direct School Admission• Participating secondary schools have
flexibility to select a percentage of their students for admission via their own selection criteria
• Selection criteria can include diverse academic and non-academic achievements and talents
• DSA schools to publish selection criteria (deadlines differ from school to school)
Direct School Admission
• Specialised independent schools that admit students entirely or almost entirely through DSA
– NUS High School of Maths and Science–School of the Arts (SOTA)–School of Science and Technology–Singapore Sports School
The 3 stages of DSA-Sec are:• Selection Stage (May to August)Tests /camps /interviews and outcome of selection
• Exercise School Preference Stage (October)If selected, student submits preference for up to 3 DSA schools• Results Release Stage (November)Student collects result of DSA school allocated together with PSLE results
