Dunman High School (Junior High)

[furfur]

Hi,


I like to find out more about the subject combination selection in year 2 & JC1, and the sports CCAs.

(1) In year 2 and JC1, are the students allowed to choose any subject combinations or there are pre-determined ones? What are the subject combinations for year 2 and JC1?

(2) In year 3, how many students can take triple Science (Pure Bio + Chem + Physics)?

(3) Dunman High offers only Pure Science?

(4) In JC1, triple science or double maths double maths is not offered?

(5) For sports CCA, can anyone join or only those in the school team can join?

Thank you!

Hi,


(2) In year 3, how many students can take triple Science (Pure Bio + Chem + Physics)?

To add onto question (2) above, at end of Year 2 : what is the minimum GPA score requirement, to do Triple Sciences (from Year 3 onwards, until end of Year 4 )?

My Son is in DHS. Next year, year 2.

I asked him about bullying. He went “Har? Bullying. Never heard of.”
Teachers are very caring. It is a very good environment.
They keep close contact with parents especially for certain subjects child may struggle with. They give personal subject consultation nearer to exam prep period.

Hello fellow parents, may I know for Sec 1:

1) does the school used Textbooks or notes?
2) do we need to buy ALL the textbooks in the book list? anything that we can skip? or take note?
3) I reckon majority of them are doing the 3rd language, may I know which day is the lesson?
4) what time do they end for the day?
5) how do you improvise the school metal button with plastic button at the bottom? picture to share?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi MEinME,

Although notes are given to students during the lesson, textbook is still a important source for exam study. My suggestion is if you do not wish to have your kid worry on textbooks, just buy all textbooks. Alternatively, there is a bookshop in the school, you can always buy the textbooks from the bookshop when you need it provided it is not out of stock.

For 2018, the third language class is on Thursday afternoon, 3:15 to 6:45pm at Bishan. There is transport available to fetch the students from school to Bishan, at a cost of $35 per term.

As for the metal button, we do not change to the plastic button, unable to share.

Regards

Good to know that your child has not encountered bullying in DHS. But the answer would be the same if he is the perpetrator!

Bullying exists everywhere. Some might be inculcated in the culture of the people (*hint: the untouchables in India, the rohingyas in Myanmar) such that the \"right to bully\" lies in which group you are in. Sometimes we bully without knowing what we did. It seems simple but it is a very touchy subject that can cause wars because both sides are right if you view the argument from their viewpoints.
