Dunman High School (Junior High)

[HappieNewbie123]

To all 2015 Year Ones:

Welcome to the Dunmanian family! I know many of you are excited to start your secondary one life so there's a few things to start you off. School starts on 5 January 2015, 8am. Remember to wear your tie! There will be student facilitators at the foyer and the library area, I believe to lead you guys to your respective classrooms. I believe you guys will be asked to reach the school at 7.30am but no worries, it's just to facilitate the process of bringing you ppl fo the classroom. If you are early, just wait at the foyer, do not try and explore the school because you will definitely get lost. Flag Raising will be held in the school hall, and school song will be played but no worries if you can't sing along Next up will be the badge pinning ceremony, the first and only badge pinning ceremony in DHS! Relax, enjoy and follow instructions. Parents may want to consider giving your child $25 as allowance on the first week of school as they might want to try out all 16 stores in canteen and also the cafe food. However, I feel that $15-$20 per week is enough to survive two meals per day.I will recommend stall 13 as the ahma is really nice after buying food from her for 3 years. I think that year one students will not need to buy any assessment books or require any tuition s looking for teachers for consultation is normal for Dunmanians. Study hard, always do your homework and clarify doubts. Emailing teachers or approaching them to book consultation slots will be the best way a student can get help with his academics. If parents feel that your child requires more practice, email the respective subject teachers to get information and recommendations of what assessment books to buy, etc. Textbooks are rarely used in Dunman High as most will be used as self studying so there's really no need to bring all the books you have bought to school when lessons start officially like how students used to do in primary school. Teachers may require notebooks and files to be bought and varies from teacher to teacher. So don't panic if kids from other classes use different files, have different ways of teaching and of the different speed. Of course it will be good to check from time to time what are students from other classes taught and share information with one another. Pick a cca that you like and be committed to it. I will advice you guys to just follow what you want and if at any point of the time you feel that tou have lose passion in it, it is okay to transfer. However, please do not follow the transfer trend without considering what you really want from a CCA. To be honest, I was super passionate with my CCA at the start and was so happy that I was accepted. However, things did not go the way I want it to be. I didnt make any friend from my CCA, trust me, friends are important in CCA and I didn't get what I initially wanted which resulted in me having a hard time trying to accept and make do. It was hard especially when I have no friends, less passion and result in less commitment. Things did change for the better from encouragements given by seniors and teachers but it didn't make me fee any happier. But, all these are really up to you! Most of my friends really love their CCAs and some who had transferred were happier after doing so. Third Language is also the same thing. Friends, commitment, passion. If you realised that keeping awake in lessons is a problem, you are too tired. Try adjusting your schedule but if you really can't, you have to do something to it. I don't mean giving up but to see if there are ways that you can find to help you. Sometimes it is not really about managing your time but the approach you use towards certain things may be time consuming. Of course, going to the teachers or counselor will be the best way. Last but not least, enjoy and work hard!

Since tomorrow is a public holiday, the newbies can start learning to sing the school song first :siam: :

Really very easy to learn, and will never forget one! :rotflmao:
After 20+ years, many of us can still sing it 一字不漏， but may not be the case for our JC's school song. For my generation, you cannot imagine how much we wished that there was 6 years IP program back then so that we can stay in DHS for another 2 more years! 一日德明人，一生德明情！

Happy 2015 to all!
