At Fun splash swim school we have a pathway for every of our student, developing them with proper swim skills required for competitive swimming which they may use this skill for direct school admission.
However, as what the article says, students who gain entry to the preferred school via DSA will need to continue to do the sport and manage their academic requirements at the same time. This may result in added stress given the physical and mental load.
If we look beyond DSA, letting your child picking up a sport that they like have many benefits, the foremost is spending less time on electronic gadgets, and the skill that they learned in the early years will be useful during their tertiary years where they can join a school team, have a social group and lead a healthy lifestyle. At Funsplash, we teach vital skills starting from our beginners’ classes and giving a platform for every student to showcase their talent such as participation in various competitions and presenting their schools. These experiences goes beyond DSA as it builds character such as confidence, resilience and determination. It also teaches them to embrace hardwork. These attributes mould them that last for a lifetime.
As the Direct School Admission (DSA) scheme marks its 20th anniversary, NIE’s Jason Tan looks at its growing influence in the primary to secondary school transition.
