Dunman High vs River Valley High

fully agree. RI/RGS/HCI/NYG took in the best every year. good results are expected but have these schools value-add to the students? think not.

just done a search on MOE website. RV received the Sustained Achievement Award for Academic Value-Added for 2007 & 2008 (last O lvl cohort) while DHS has never got it. SAA is for 3 consecutive years of achievement. So RV already value adds her students since 2005.

We have to be careful that, probably, if the student COP gets higher, it becomes increasingly more difficult to value-add. Having said that, I have to acknowledge that RV is one rare school that has high COP (always higher than 250) and yet can still value-add (academic).

yup i agree with you. RI/RGS/HCI/NYG prior IP do value-add their students too, though they never sustain for 3 consecutive years.

Daisy, are u staying in the North, what's the travelling time for dd? I actually like the uniform of RV, very prim and smart, esp the buttons.

Yes, travelling by MRT, then bus (2 bus stops from BL interchange), total 45 mins.

Yes, I feel that their uniform is very unique. :celebrate:

I feel sad that people have low opinion of RV. My daughter is eligible for RGS or NYGHS, but we chose RV instead. Everyone who asked for her score n her choice of sch was shocked that I chose RV. They felt that she should choose an elite sch since she is sure to get a place there. Dunman high has higher COP, so in general, people feel that it is better than RV.

Hi, I can assure you that you or your child has certainly made a right choice. Not sure about DHS but based on mine and my friends, RV is a good school to be in

Primary school report book and cash. Of course your child in his/her primary school uniform!

Go to the board where they display the kids names, find your kid's class and report to the class.

I'm the kid

whee no need to bring result slip. phew.

EDIT: Cash? How much?

[sall]

I think it’s better to bring result slip, just in case. I spent $150+ on uniform,t-shirt etc. If you’re buying books, may need $100+? May need to bring $300.

But did they use the result slip then?
