      Hi, how do we know what is an average or decent GPA? Is GPA of 3.2 to 3.5 in year 2 consider good? Thanks
      My personal view only.
      >3.6: very good
      3.2-<3.6: good
      2.8-<3.2: good efforts
      <2.8: work harder, you can achieve more

        Hi parents, I saw from the website that Dunman offers IP as well. We will be choosing secondary school this month, and my DS is keen in IP route. However for DHS, the S1 posting selection only for O level. How does the IP route work? Only for those thru DSA? Or school will offer much later in their school years?

        Thanks in advance for your reply.

          DHS should be all IP for everyone that enters in Sec 1 (either DSA or S1 posting exercise). They will also add some kids in Year 5 via the JAE. I'm not sure what you are looking at (assume S1 system is not open yet) but if it just says \"Express\" this should still mean IP.

          Edit: Also, I assume this is the case but just make sure you are looking at Dunman High (DHS) and not Dunman Secondary.

              Yes I am looking at DHS, not Dunman Sec. Cos I am looking at the booklet given for the Sec 1 schools selection, and some schools like ACS (Independent) and Cat High have options for O level and IP. I was wondering why other schools only 1 code as I know there is IP route.

              Now I understand. Thanks!

                I saw that some parents are looking for a Math tuition:

                My son was being tutored by Ms Ong who was the former Head of Maths Department, Hwa Chong Institution. You may call her at 9669 0156.

                His Math grades were below average during Year 1 & 2. His Year 4 EOY results for both his Maths were A+.
                Hi, do you have contact for physics tutor? Or good physics tuition ctr also fine. My girl will be Y3 next year, her physics not that strong :((
