Hi Augmum


My dd has the usual 3 sciences, H1 and H2 maths, LA, chinese and geog. If fact without tuiton, she is able to cope well in most of the subjects…just that she always like to push herself too hard which makes her unhappy…comparison and competitions among classmates also stress her further…nowadays, parents really not easy to be, kids don’t study we worry, kids study too hard we also worry (I am one of them, I rather she is healthy and happy everyday then putting herself in those stressful situations)as long as she can make it, we are o.k. with her, we don’t expect her to excel everythings…

My dd is in another IP sch. For them(Y1 -Y4), if they do very well for the first 3 terms, ie, A1 for all subjects, then they don't have to take final yr exam. Instead, they get to go somewhere, do some project, something like that. If they get 2 A2 and the rest A1, then it's partial exemption. That means, sit for the papers where they get A2 and subjects where they scored below 75. I'm just curious to know if Dunman high has got this practice or not?

Hi


Oh finally got u.......Duman High has no such practice........ :lol:

hi bedokid
my gal also intends to choose this combo i.e. 3 sciences with geog,
understand this is one of the popular choices.
btw, how many classes are there for 3 sciences and geog ??

oh yes, some classes are real competitive while some are not so

u mentioned that there are some PRC in her class, how many are there ??

yes, i agree with u that when kids don't study , we are worried but
if they study too hard, we are also worried abt their health and mental state......
pupils must find some ways to destress......
my gal likes to dance and listen to her korean pop songs ........
try to get yr gal to do something she likes during the weekends as form of relaxation....

so how does RV grade those pupils who are exempted ??
i mean the marks are spread among assignments, projects, tests and EOY throughout the yr.....
so w/o EOY , how are the marks be alloted ??

Apricot:

My dd was interviewed by 2 people. The questions were :

1) What attracted you to the school ?
2) What other schools you have applied for DSA ?
3) The school mission is to develop the potential to care, serve and lead. Give an example of how you have cared for someone. :roll:

thanks for sharing, apricot.
hmm....so rather general questions been asked....
at least not one which i ever heard from another school, \" do u cook at home?\"

are the applicants being interviewed in small grps or individual ??

oh yes......DHS likes to emphasize on 诚 信 勇 忠

Wish yr gal ALL THE BEST.....shd be hearing from them soon, right ??

Dear Augmum,

Applicants were interviewed individually. Thanks for your good wishes ! The waiting for the DSA results can be so nerve racking.....Hopefully, will receive the results this week.
