May i know what are the subjects stand for:
1) ACC (O)
2) ACC (E)
3) Science lab ( O)
4) science lab (E)
5) HCL (O)
6) HCL (E)
7) TRPI (O)
TRPI (E)
9) LSP (O)
10) LSP (E)
11) PE (O)
12) PE (E)


Why subjects come with \"O\" and \"E\" ?

\"O\" stands for odd weeks, which are days 1-5, which is next week, as this week is considered week 0. \"E\" stands for even weeks, which are days 6-10. There was a reply to another question regarding the timetable earlier on that said that the 10 day timetable was a temporary one, which is false, as the timetables are always 10 days.

Yes. The timetable is always 10 days. I think 02/03-Jan is Week 0 which is an even week. 06-Jan (Mon) is week 1, so it will follow Day 1 timetable.

For the subject, ACC is Appreciation of Chinese Culture... It is a non-examination subject where the students learn things like Tea ceremony, Beijing Opera, etc... HCL is Higher Chinese; TRP is Thinking Research Program; I think LSP is something like Home Econ (cooking, sewing, etc). Science Lab and PE is self-explanatory.

Thanks all. Appreciate all ur replies.

May we download the timetable from school website / hardcopy willl be given to students / have to take pic from classroom ( i don think this is workable as HP is not allowed in the classroom).

One more thing .....
Son told me that school allowed them to use hp in the canteen😱😱😱. I thought hp should not allowed in school compound at all times.

You may ask your son to check his school email to see if it is there.. Most of the instruction/information are communicated via email. They are already in secondary school, so they should start to take more responsibility about all these.

My daughter does not carry a handphone but when she went to DHS the 1st two days, she was overwhelmed by all the students who were using their mobiles in class. The class teacher told them that they could use the phone calculator for their maths and my daughter felt like a weirdo, using the sharp calculator. The teacher also asked them to use the phone camera to take pics of the timetable. The students use the handphones in class as well as in the canteen. During recess, everyone in the queue were looking at their phones while my daughter was the only one holding a book. She feels like the odd one out and demoralised.


I hope that the school management can stop the phone usage in school as it poses too much distraction for the students.

Sorry to share the blatant truth.

Although my kids are not from dhs, i can only say the norm for all sec school students is to have hp. Phone usage is generally allowed in most school. A lot of communication from teachers or cca seniors are via whatsapp. So either your girl learns to accept that she is an exception to have no phone or she also joins in the crowd. There is no other option available in today’s world. It is sad but we have to embrace it.

I prepared a phone for my child to check at home in case there is school WhatsApp. But I don’t see why the teachers and students keep WhatsApping in school. They should not allow the students to use the phone while in school.

Although whatsapp group chats are used in schools as a form of teacher-student and class communication, I think most kids are on their phones checking their Instagram and watching videos. Is that good or a bad phenomenon? Only time will tell. Should schools stop the use of mobile phones in school? There are obviously pros and cons to that. Mobile phone has become a necessity in modern-day society (or so we are made to think so). Unlike us, children of this century are born into mobile technology. Unfortunately, it is a social pattern that will be hard to reverse.


PinkLily, your daughter should feel proud of herself that she is able to withstand the need to constantly use a mobile device. If she is disciplined enough, you can still let her have a phone in school so that she doesn't miss out on the \"real\" school work communication. Of course, once she has the phone im school, there is a possibility that she will follow the herd and start doing what others do. But if she has the discipline and resolve, it will not be an issue. I still see kids reading books instead of using their phone. 😃
