          Hi everyone. It's me again :). I bought assessment books for my DD as a form of revision in Primary school. Is this necessary when she goes to Sec school ? I remember I used to do a lot of 10 years series and I must say they helped. If there is a need to get, what assessment books are suitable for IP ?


          Thanks In advance for sharing šŸ™‚
          No need for assessment books lah....may not be appropriate either....
          Esp for subj like Maths....they have their own DHP Maths workbks...
          There are more than enuff practices given to the pupils....
          Moreover, u wont have time to do additional assessment bks...

                Hello! I'm a Y3 student in Dunman High and I happened to come across this page.

                there actually isn't any sort of official ranking in the Y3 classes but general rule of thumb is that upper level classes= better, although there are exceptions.

                However, there is subject enrichment in Y3 and the syllabus is only very slightly different and is not tested in EOY, more for general knowledge, and sometimes the teachers would 'sneak in' some of enrich syllabus for the non-enrich classes. (I'm a triple science+ geog student with no enrich).

                I have also seen some discussion as to how students are selected for the various subject enrichment. There are a few methods from the school that are circulating but the most popular method is that it is based on what subject enrich the SBGE people in Y2 choose, and they will try to allocate according to what the SBGE people opt for, and then sort in the non-SBGE students. So for eg for my year there was no demand for science+hist enrich so there was no class at all for sci+history enrich.

                Hope this clarifies!

                    DHS is not an independent sch, the sch fees is the same as other non- independent sec schs.....
                    It is ard $23 includes of misc fees ( not sure if there is any slight increase, as it is paid by Giro, i dont track )...

                      Yes....officially, there is no ranking in yr 3...
                      But if u' re a student there, u' ll know which are the better classes....that's why i said \" some sort of ranking\"... šŸ˜‰

                        Hi, Met some parents who are deciding the sec 1 school for next year. A few shared that their children who are in dhs felt that the standard at higher level ie JC1n JC 2 equivalent has dropped or not comparable to perhaps what they are expecting of DHS (e.g lack of good teachers) though a few felt that the std at lower level is ok.


                        Do parents with children in higher levels have any feedbk? Thks.
