Dunman High School (Junior High)

sunnydaysingapore:

so you are saying that in dunman high, the IP students are worse than normal O-level students?


then what's the point of having IP program ah? :?

The point of IP isn't so much as mainintaining \"the standing\" of the IP students in A level as to allow them to the chance to use their time in sec4 more effectively to pursue their talents, etc. When those bright students apply to overseas universities and scholarships, the extra achievements they racked up because of IP might plays a factor.

Having read all your recent posts on DHS "A" level results, I have always wondered just how strong is DHS’s post-sec (Year 5 & 6) education? Afterall, it is still relatively new as compared to the top few JCs. This was one of our considerations when my DD was deliberating on her choices 2 years ago.


I have no doubt on its sec school achievements.

Anyone has the number of students of NJC for this cohort that received their A level results?


If they have same number like RJC and HCI (i.e. over 1000 students). Then, in term of percentage, DHS has done better. DHS is probably third in position after RI and HCI.

hi WeiHan

based on the data copied from DHS noticeboard, i calculated the cohort for 2009 A level pupils to be 290.

with 4 or more distinctions ---> 138 candidates-----> 47.6%

[Augmum]

anyway, academic achievements is not the ONLY thing that we, parents, look for when selecting a suitable school for our kids,

there are still other factors,
character molding is of importance too........(i don't mean other schools have \"no character molding\" ok........don't hammer me)

[ezmum]

Totally agree with Augmum (no, I'm not gonna hammer u, dont worry) . As parents, we all try to look for a good balance for our children. A bigger cohort also provides good networking & wider exposure for the kids too.

[Augmum]

oh yes, definitely good for networking…esp after completion of school…

[quote=\"sunnydaysingapore\"]9 distinctions: 0 student


number of subjects with the rate of distinction score that doubles the National Average: 0

number of olympiad winnings: 0

dunman high is far far far behind from hci and ri :roll:

Do not consider 9A1,top student only one or two.

Compare with the students with good result like 7A1.
In RI 362 out of 1200+ students.
HCI 200+ out of 1000 students.

If in Dunman 19 out of 400+.
......................
:?

hmm...............

compared with RI, we then have 57 out of 1200+ students

compared with HCI, we then have 48 out of 1000 students

in an ideal world, where IP students are supposed to be better than normal O-level students, dunman high should be able to beat both RI and HCI though.

:stupid: what went wrong?[/quote]Your assumption of HCI's number of students is wrong. HCI takes in 500 from HCI (high school) and 500 from Nanyang girls, and with an extra intake from outside, that makes the enrollment higher than 1000.

Yea, and extra note, HCI is highest in Science stream this year.

wonderm:

2 or 4 scored 8 distinctions? Do you know out of how many students?


HCI has 50 scored 8 distinction out of 1100 students.
RI has 84 scored 8 distinction out of 1200+ students. (both according to their published news)

I will take a photo of the notice board on Monday evening when I fetch my DD after her CCA and will update

These are from the notice boards:

3 H2 pass + GP/KI Pass = 272 or 93.8%
>= 3 H2 Distinctions = 102 or 35.2%
4 H2 Distinctions = 46 or 27.9%
>= 4 Distinctions = 138 or 47.6%
>= 7 Distinctions = 19 or 6.6%
