DIRECT SCHOOL ADMISSION FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS (DSA – SEC)
CHIJ St. Theresa’s Convent invites current Primary Six students who seek to bring out the best in themselves through Sports as part of our distinctive programmes - our Learning for Life Programme (LLP), or our Performing Arts, to join the school through the 2026 Direct School Admission – Secondary (DSA-SEC) Exercise.
Parents and students are encouraged to choose schools wisely based on the student’s aptitudes and strengths, bearing in mind the school’s 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 during their secondary school years.
