That’s a valid point, about the need to consider subject combination. It is hard for us outsiders to know exactly what subject combi are available, but most grateful for sharing your thots, a13313!

Thank you for replying, a13313. On a separate issue, I know this has been discussed previously before by other parents, but would like to take this opportunity to find out if you/your friends plan to leave or stay in DHS after Y4?

As of what I know, my friends and I are all staying in Senior High for DHS.
It's more of, you are already very familiar with the environment here, most of your friends will be staying here too.
I don't see the point of leaving, unless you want to take subjects or programmes that are not offered in DHS. (i.e. H2 Knowledge and Inquiry is not offered in DHS SH)
(Even so most people just continue with H1 General Paper instead)

KI is Not a popular subject...
Not many pupils take KI in the whole A level cohort...
In the past, DHS did offer KI, BUT not in demand....thus, the sch had removed this subj, KI...

Not to worry abt Subj Combi at Yr 5...
DHS offers wide spectrum of JC subjs... so long pupils' Yr 4 GPA / Subj combi meet the sch requirements...

Hi Parents and Students


My DD was offered a CO DSA through CCA Basketball. Is there any students in Basketball CCA? Would like to know more about their training style and living style with the basketball team. Heard that the coach has a lot of teams to look after, not only DHS. Is it true? If so, how can he concentrate on so many teams?

Any advise? Thanks

Seem like no parents' DD take Basketball as their CCA.

Is your concern with the DHS basketball team or the coach style?


I am not related to DHS but just thought I chime in with my humble opinion:
- all sports are expected to train at least x times per week, so training definitely takes up time for sports cca rather than clubs and societies
- It is not unusual for popular or successful coaches to be coaches for several schools. There must be some winning formula somewhere…if you believe the track record of the basketball team or the coach is important for your choice of DHS, then perhaps need to do some research first before accepting DHS?

Thanks for your reply. Just cannot decide which school to choose. Thank you

with so many unknowns, I would consider the following:

- Which school does the kid prefer?
- Any existing seniors in the team or any friends already going into same team? Acceptance into team is important too
- Which school has a higher performing team?
- then the usual school selection criteria …

Hi thmejlfm,

The teacher in charge (basketball) has sent invites to students with CO to train with the 'C' boys, my DS has already participated in a few training session and he is enjoying every moment...his feedback are all so positive...

The Coach together with his seniors are taking good care of them and they are also very encouraging during the training sessions...especially during PT where my DS is pretty weak in...lol

Is it? But, for my DD, also CO. No news for the training session. Is ok. I will talk to my DD again. See which one she prefer。 Thank you.
