Direct School Admission
Under this DSA-SEC Exercise, participating schools will be able to select some Primary Six (P6) students for admission to Secondary One. The selection will be based on their achievements and talents before the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) results are released. In March 2017, MOE approved Guangyang Secondary School as one of the schools under the DSA-SEC Exercise to build on our niche area – basketball.

b) Video Conferencing Selection Exercise:
i) Performance Task: Applicant can showcase his/her basketball skills like ball handling and dribbling skills to the panel of interviewers.
