Direct School Admission (DSA)
DIRECT SCHOOL ADMISSION (DSA)
St Hilda’s Secondary - Direct School Admission (DSA-Sec) for 2025 Secondary One Students
St Hilda’s Secondary School (SHSS) would like to invite Primary 6 students to apply for admission to Year 1 in 2025 under the Direct School Admission into secondary schools (DSA-Sec) scheme.
Direct School Admission (DSA) scheme provides students with the opportunity to seek admission to a secondary school, based on a diverse range of specific academic and non-academic achievements and talents that they can demonstrate beyond the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). Primary 6 (P6) students who do not participate in the DSA-Sec will continue to seek admission based on their PSLE score through the Secondary 1 (S1) Posting.
