Hi I'd like to ask, is it true that DHS Junior High starts school 1 week later than the usual MOE academic calendar? i.e. next year although officially school starts on 2 Jan (Tue), the Year 1s will actually only report to school on 8 Jan (Mon)?

Also, I heard that under this current principal, there are some changes to the policy of wearing school uniform vs PE tshirts, i.e. advocate wearing the school uniform more often. Can I get some advise on how many sets of each type of uniform we should prepare?

Lastly, the PLD is provided by school FOC or we need to purchase and usually how much does it cost?

Thanks in advance!

Year 1s will usually start the following week. Subsequent years however, students may need to go back for CCA related activities / to prepare for orientation activities etc.

PE shirts can only be worn during PE classes. Students have to change into their PE shirts before the lesson and change back out after PE class to either uniform / DHS shirt depending on which day of the week their PE class falls on.

You can wait to receive the official instructions from the school after secondary school posting result is released. The school will inform you on the details eg. reporting day / time , attire to wear for the 1st week during orientation week. Attire to wear for a general school week and recommended sets of each type of clothes to purchase, booklist etc. PLD details will be provided by the school in due course too when school term commences.

Thanks for sharing.

Have another question on the promotion criteria to year 5. In neighbour schools, there’s CCA points advantage when applying to JC so in DHS, promotion to year 5, will there be such consideration?

Promotion from Year 4 - Year 5 is subjected to the requirements of GPA to be met, which is different from the calculation of points for students who are applying to join from other schools for senior high level.
CCA will be converted to GPA points depending on level of attainment. Details and calculation can be found in the student handbook provided to students by the school.

Oh, ok. Thanks a lot!

The aunty at the bookshop will advise.

We bought 2 full uniforms, one extra skirt, one polo, one set PE attire, two school tees plus tie. Buttons sold tog with books.

Lastly, the PLD is provided by school FOC or we need to purchase and usually how much does it cost?

Thanks in advance!

it depends on the CCA and teacher-in-charge, performing arts / uniformed groups / sports etc. sometimes may even need to be in school for more than 2 days if needed. your child should receive more details when school starts during orientation and after briefing before attending the CCA auditions or selections.

PLD is not FOC. Cannot remember how much did it cost. You will receive more info when the school ask you to buy the PLD.
