Hi all... just giving my 2 cents...
I'm an ex-student of dhs and here's my observations... Saw some people saying many ppl transfer out of dhs in JH... Quite a number in my cohort did transfer out too... I suspect if it's the student themselves that want to transfer out, they find that the school culture in other JCs (esp VJC) is more vibrant, more \"rah-rah\", if you know what I mean... If it's the parents, then most likely concerned about the SH being not good enough.
I think it's true that dhs may not be as \"happening\" as other JCs, but it gives a more homely feeling, like the principal always says our second home is 10 Tanjong Rhu Road. I personally like it a lot, but some of my friends do įžĄæ other JCs... Every individual is different.
I also find that dhs teachers are very friendly... Teachers don't mind giving consultation to students not from their classes... I also keep close contact with my teachers, they are like my korkor and zehzeh, and some even like a mum or grandma haha... I even had teachers from JH who personally whatsapp me to wish me all the best for my A levels.
That's all, I think... hope your children enjoy their journey in dhs like I did

I just want to know how is the learning environment in DHS. I do understand there are many teachers left DHS for JC. Can any current DHS student advise us? DHS students usually stay in school long hours due to CCA.
Can share as my DS trying to check detail before submitting the S1 posting for Sec 1 next year? -
Super Alice:
Is your DS eligible for other IP school with a JC? Personally, I prefer I would prefer my kid to be in a real JC with infusion of sister school and O level student from JC level. In DHS/RV, you are stuck with the same people for 6 years....more interesting and vibrant college life although all are working towards A level...just my opinion.I just want to know how is the learning environment in DHS.

Can i know how many is \" many\" ?
Not sure of other subj teachers...what i know based on my gal's subj combination...there was a very good Econs Teacher who had returned to her hometown...
Another Bio teacher, heard that she quitted ...after on maternity leave ?? something liddat...
Most IP ( even non Ip) students stay bk in sec sch for long hrs...
CCA hrs would very much depend on which CCA one is in...demanding CCA like CO, def need to stay back for long hrs... -

Becos u will be in different class with diff classmates n subj teachers in Yr 3 n in Yr 5....
Well...think it all depends whether u like the sch or not...
As for my gal...as well as her peers...
She said tt she is sad... that she has to leave DHS after spending 6 solid yrs here...
DHS is kinda like their 2nd home, afterall they spent so many hrs in sch ...
When chat with some ex- dunmanian frens... They told me that they were so envy of their juniors who could spend another 2 yrs here ...( after IP was implemented)... -

I can't help but find this a strange comment. Aren't all Primary School kids stuck with the same people for 6 years? So what is wrong with doing the same for IP school? -
zbear:
haha... one is stuck with the same spouse ...

I guess the students would be posted to diff classes to get to know more students, depending on the subject combi fr sec 3 onwards.
In addition, thru cca and other activities, getting to know more pple is never an issue at all. -

Wah.....stuck (is it a correct way to say) with the same spouse different lah....what I meant is that in a JC, the student population is abt 1200 vs 400 for IP school...more people so more lively and interesting...but no doubt DHS is a very good school academically... -
starlight1968sg:
LOL...
haha... one is stuck with the same spouse ...
I appreciate this kinda of \" stuck\" becos if \"no stuck\" means hmmm ???
