This thread is considered \"alive\" compared to others eg NYGH; i've posted a ques there but no ans so far. My DD in p6; can't decide bet DHS or NYGH. My DH's worried abt bgr problems in co-ed school. any idea if bgr or couples are common in DHS ? my friend's DD in sec 2 this yr and last yr already got \"admirers\" when she discovered \"special\" birthday presents that her DD brought home.

hi ningy.

actually i hv heard of other gals sch and boy sch, after sch they also got chance to meet at bus stop. hahaha. so everywhere u go, i'm sure will hv BGR. We parent just hv to keep watching and talking to the kids lor.

Bus 158B is between 1 plus to 4 plus in the afternoon according to SBS transit’s website but SBS do not post the timing on the website so very hard to guage the time the buses arrive outside the school. In fact, my gal has only taken it once or twice so far. Never seem to be fated to meet it.


Dear ningy,

don’t be too worried about BGR matters. Even if they are in single sex schools they get many opportunities to know boys. Via combined school activities, facebook, thru friends? Personally i think DHS is a good school so even if boys like girls and girls like the boys, they will not do it very openly. Very much 暗恋 type of relationship i think. The kids are mature, they know what the priorities are and will be too busy with school work, CCA to be very involved in relationships. I know a few Dunmanians who are in their forties now and when they were in DHS many many years ago, they also have girlfriends and boyfriends from the same school but all got their degrees in singapore universities and are successful in life now. As parents, we need to guide them and tell them it’s ok to like someone but must know the dos and don’ts and also don’t let this BG problems affect them.

If you are staying in the east like me, then distance is an issue which is why i did not send her to NYGH. easier for her to come back by bus even if daddy does not pick her. 6 years is no joke…besides DHS starts school at 9 am on monday and 8 am on tues to fri. RGS and NYGH start at 7.30 am if i am not wrong. your child will have to get up very early to go to school daily…

Do consider carefully. Go to the open house (hope they will have one this year again) and see for yourself the environment, the people and the mood there.

kids do have crushes and infatuations. We have gone thru that, didn’t we? Only thing was we were not too open about it but these days i know the kids are very daring. However, I believe the culture of this school will be able to 感染 the kids and they will turn out fine.

hi ningy
what parents like nothing2do and lovingmum have said are just what i wanna to tell u.....
in any sch, all girls, boys or co-ed if the child wanna to get into a relationship, they have means to do it,
what i can tell u is that we, as parents, must able to spot any tell-tales sign in the begining and monitoring it closely shd there be one...

i feel that my gal shd able to place her priorities right

DHS is a gd sch, the boys there are very \"kwai kwai\" type
(i have been there not only on the registration day to see how the pupils behaved)
and not to forget, the prents of the boys are also there monitoring their sons as not to let them get into a BGR
besides the culture and environment in DHS also play a part......

my gal was fr a all girls pri sch,
ever since in DHS, she begins to like a mixed gender......
as the boys are more active in class, adding enjoyment during lessons time
and the girls would like to \"compete with the boys\" to make lessons interesting
fyi, there are 24 girls and 12 boys in her class.....the ratio is exactly 2:1

From my own experience those who come from mix sch in pri most do not like to flirt n go into relationship but for those who are in boy/girl sch in pri likes to mix with boys n flirt like siao n trys to attract attention. Well this is because they r new to this 'mix' sch. No offence...

during 23/12, a senior approached us and we had a chat,
she told us no need to buy the maths textbk and the chinese compo writing bk......
so we din buy....she din mention abt the apron.

but later was told that to use the apron for home economics.......??? :?
