Just confirmed with DHS HOD for science that triple science combination is still available for Year 3 and 4, but not for Year 5 and 6. Also confirmed that for the 2014 Year 3 cohort this year, there are 7 classes of triple science.

Only 7 classes for 2014?
What is the total number of classes for this yr ? So there is an increase in double double or increase in 7 units classes ?

Not sure as I only specifically ask about the number of triple science classes in year 3. But I do see there is a decreasing trend of triple science class from around 10 classes in previous years to 7 classes in 2014 it seems, for year 3. My own guess is double science is more encouraged in schools nowadays perhaps.

But if a student is more of a science person....
Triple sciences give them the best option to try out all 3 sciences to decide which to drop in yr5...
N also no need to take up 2 humanities subj...

Can i know what is the school hours for DHS? I heard DHS start their term 1 week later as compared to other sec sch as well?

I am very out of touch with the secondary school admissions, now that there are so many different options and routes to apply through.


My purpose here is to seek some clarifications and advice on behalf of my neighbour, whose daughter will be taking her PSLE next year. Although DHS is one of their top preferences, the mother admits that she is not sure about many things.

1) Is DHS DSA exercise for the IP only?
2) Her daughter is learning piano, going to take ABRSM grade 7 next March. Daughter’s CCA in school is Wushu. Which has a better chance for success in DSA - CCA Wushu or DSA MEP?
3) If accepted through Wushu, she is bonded to the CCA for 6 yrs? Can she have a 2nd CCA? Is Wushu training demanding?
4) If accepted through MEP, what obligation will she have to fulfil in DHS? Do IP MEP students take the same MEP lessons as the non IP MEP students?
5) Does DHS have a separate class ( or classes ) for Sports DSA students?
