Students who receive at least one DSA-Sec offer (including from SOTA) will receive email and SMS notification via Postman.gov.sg on the School Preference Submission around mid-October 2024. Both parents are required to login to the DSA-Sec Portal using their Singpass to submit up to THREE school preferences. If parent(s) are unable to submit online, they can approach their child's primary school for assistance to submit the school preferences on their behalf. Some students may receive offers from DSA-Sec schools and SSP. Students who wish to accept the SSP offer should not submit their DSA-Sec school preferences. If they do so, their earlier SSP offer will be voided. Students who wish to accept the SSP offer will need to take part in the S1 Posting. DSA-Sec offers not taken up will be considered as lapsed at the end of the School Preference Submission period. |

Late November 2024 |
Students studying in MOE mainstream schools will receive their DSA-Sec results together with their PSLE results through their primary schools, by end-November 2024. Students who are not studying in MOE mainstream schools will receive their DSA-Sec results from PPSB via email. Secondary schools will be able to download the list of successful DSA-Sec students allocated to them using the Placement System for Secondary Schools (PSSS). |
Please note:
-
Parents and students are encouraged to choose schools wisely based on the student’s aptitudes and strengths, bearing in mind the schools’ academic and non-academic requirements, and the programmes available to develop the area of talent.
-
Students who are successfully admitted to the school via DSA are expected to honour their commitment to the school and participate in the activities related to the talent they are selected for from year 1-4.
