Hi,Can anyone enlighten me what are the options for scenarios below:
1) At Yr 3 in DHS, student realized really cannot cope with IP.
2) At Yr 4 or Yr 5 in DHS, student decided not to continue IP. Can they go Poly, without an O level cert?
Thank you!
DHS does have an O Level class in Y3/4 for students who may not be coping so well with IP, so for (1) I think they can just transfer to the O Level class after Y2/3.
For (2), I do know of people from DHS who transferred to poly, but I'm not sure what route they took (those that I know of are in the IP stream, not the O Level class) -

For (2) IP students can apply for polytechnic via direct admission exercise using their Year 4 results - deemed equivalent to 'O' level results by local institutions.

Following is from NP's website but criteria should be the same for the rest:
https://www.np.edu.sg/ADMISSIONS/Pages/default.aspx[quote]Direct Admissions Exercise (DAE) for Integrated Programme Student
The Direct Admissions Exercise (DAE) is administered by Ngee Ann Polytechnic to allow applicants whose qualification types are ineligible under JAE and JPAE to apply for admission to our full-time diploma courses.
1. Can I apply?
To be considered for our 3-year full-time diploma courses, you should have completed Integrated Programme (IP) Year 4 (or Sec 4 equivalent) in Singapore. Admission will be based on your IP Year 4 results. Eligibility is similar to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘O’ Level. Please check individual course pages if you meet the minimum entry requirements, including medical requirements.[/quote] -
Thank you, a13313 and mum_sugoku! Glad to know that there are options still available should IP doesn't work out!
Had been pondering over which route (O level or IP). DC also cannot decide after see a mix of comments in forum. But DC seem to quite like DHS, but when asked what is it that DC like, DC can't really tell. :scratchhead:
Any latest insights of the school culture, learning environment, staff, students, how the school & students help weaker students, etc. would be very much appreciated! -
Hi,
My child just got CO under dsa language.
What does he have to commit to if he takes up the offer? What if he doesnt do well in the commitment, will he be kicked out of the school? Thanks in advance. -

hip hip hurray ! At long last, finally !
2019 new changes
Dunman High & River Valley High finally at last start taking in O-level students, for their A-level in Year (5 and 6).
From today onwards (going forward) -
a)
lets call this school, \"Dunman Junior College\" , no longer just merely being a High school.
b)
no more so called miserable \"on-demand\" one, single O-level class, comprising a very small pool of candidates.
But, going forward, will open several full-fledged O-level classes.
goody, goody GREAT news reported !

I don’t think they have announced that they will become a dual-track school with both O level and IP track right from Sec 1 onwards, so part b) may not be correct. Not at this moment at least.hip hip hurray ! At long last, finally !

Awonder:
Yes, MOE had confirmed that
HI, does that mean they are going to take in this years' 'O' level students?
implementation starting (take effect from) wef this year, 2018 GCE O level cohort batch (born 2002) :-
After O-level exam results are out next year 2019, whose expected date of O-level results release announcement is around (14 January 2019), thereabout :
JAE (Joint Admission Exercise) O-level applicants from various Secondary schools all over Singapore, who are interested in studying GCE A-level at Dunman Junior College, can apply.
As long as their L1R5 O-level results are able to meet the Admission Cut-off point (2019), for both Arts & Science stream JC1 (Junior College Year 1), they can enter. Next year (2019) market forces of demand & supply (# of vacancies or Total number of classes, allocated for JAE applicants), will determine the Admission Cut off point for Science / Arts stream, at Dunman and River Valley JCs.
The same apply to River Valley Junior College, as well.
This is great news, because MOE finally giving us back (returning us back) 2 more A-level bound destination Junior Colleges, by Transforming SAP (Dunman & River Valley High) into Junior Colleges, after removing (take-away / subtract) 4 JCs (namely, Serangoon, Tampines, Innova, Jurong JC), through the merging of 8 JCs -
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/8-junior-colleges-among-28-schools-to-be-merged
Students staying in the east, up to Pasir Ris / Loyang zone -
since there are going to be Total 4 Junior Colleges (including Dunman), to choose from, in the east :
will there be any changes to the Admission Cut-off point intake for JAE applicants, affecting or impacting (Victoria, Temasek & Meridian) Junior Colleges, as well as to Eunoia & Nanyang JC, both Science & Arts stream, next year ? In a way, this also kind of depend on the number of JC1 classes (vacancies) opened, at (Dunman & River Valley) JCs.
Next year (2019): we shall see !
forsee that these 2 new Transformed JCs going to be popular, because
they are SAP IP JCs, going to attract many good O-level candidates. -
