At Outram Secondary School, we welcome passionate and purpose-driven students through the Direct School Admission (DSA) exercise. Whether you're a sports talent or an aspiring leader, DSA offers you a chance to grow and shine with us!
The DSA-Sec Exercise seeks to broaden the recognition of students’ talents and achievements beyond academic grades. It allows Primary 6 students to gain direct entry into secondary schools based on their strengths in areas such as sports and Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs), before taking the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
Outram Secondary School (OSS) invites Primary 6 students to apply for admission through the DSA-Sec Exercise. Successful applicants will secure a place in OSS (Seng Kang campus) for the academic year beginning in January 2026.
We are offering these DSA talent areas for our Primary 6 students
