Compare Victoria IP vs DHS

[ChewingPencilLine]

I am DHS 2011 graduate. I know the above-mentioned brain-drain issue very well because I am from one of the earlier batches. I remember Mr Sng giving my entire cohort a talk at the end of year 4 to bolster our confidence in the school's JC curriculum / system; don't ask what the school can give to you but what you can give back to the school. It was time for us to show our love for and faith in Dunman High by staying on and doing the school proud in 'A's.


Once a Dunmanian, always a Dunmanian. I know some students who did not like Dunman too much because they found it \"cheena\" but some of us really did/do love our school. The brain-drain issue has gotten a lot better over the years, I believe. There were more students dropping off to other schools at the start when there was little or no basis for faith in DHS' JC system. This has gotten better with time with our track records, :).

VJC (Vict IP) and DHS are both equally good and excellent A-level results!!

Just to reactivate an old topic since it’s been 2-3 years already and should have more IP students from both schools since their launch in 2012. My son has been offered places in both DHS and VS IP via DSA Sports.

- He comes from a SAP primary school but does not really like higher Chinese. Yes, I understand that in IP programs, higher mother tongue is compulsory.
- Yes, he is into sports but once going into secondary school, academic and leadership priorities rank much higher than excel in sports

I would really appreciate your advise or opinion on which school is much better, since both of them are 6 year programs…

Thanks!

Although Rgs and cedar sec are both IP schools, but their IP curriculum standard may differ.

Due to difference in school fees ($300 vs $28 per month) Rgs have autonomy to hire Tr outside on their own, to teach the girls more things, so the girls learn more.
Between RGS and Cedar, definitely RGS IP curriculum stronger than that of Cedar

Sorry, posted in wrong thread (OT)
But since Cedar also part of VJC in Year 5 and 6, …

WeiHan:

DHS students stay in the same school from year 1 to 6.


VS and Cedar students have to transfer to VJC after year 4 to continue their year 5 and 6 education leading to A level.

I think there is a slight difference ( at least there is higher efficiency in term of administration in the first model) in the model here. Arguably, there is an advantage in the first model. Otherwise, RI would not have chosen to merge with RJC a few years ago.

which school is the First model ?

as a h2 math tutor, i think the h2 math JC1 promotion paper of VJC is much harder than DHS.

yet this year 2015, around 1 in 3 DHS students failed their JC1 h2 math promo paper, despite being a relatively easy paper. so i can’t help thinking that VJC has a better JC programme since they are so well established. however, because DHS don’t have to wait for O level students to come in before they start the JC syllabus, they have covered more topics in JC1 than HCI and far more than most JCs. DHS will have plenty of time to do revision in JC2
