Dunman High School (Junior High)

[hugehugesmileyface]

hi. i'm a student of dunman high.


those stuff on stomp are trolls that are out to defame our school because of some unknown reasons and stomp is looking into it. but not to worry. the stuff there is totally incredulous and never did happen. infact our school's pioneer batch of A level students, the first batch actually developed a president scholar and we got into top 5 jc in a year while vjc took over 10 years.

over time the senior high system can only get better. furthermore. the people in dunman high are very friendly, and the teachers are very approachable. i usedto dislike chinese in primary school but after i came to dunman high i love the chinese lessons. all the lessons are very engaging.

i think that is secondary school it's good to have a good mix of gender so that we can get to know each other better and we are also more sensible now. in girl schools there are many cat fights and also as the people in independent schools are richer there is definitely comparison and other stuff. i cannot say for myself but my cousin from rgs told me about it.

and also. mr sng is a really nice guy, a friend a principal and a member of the dunmanian family. he's leaving this year. dr foo is taking over. i think that the dhp programme is very good and had a very firm base. people in dunman high are bilingual too. and we learn a lot about chinese culture and moral values. dunman hgih has a rich heritage. which i think nygh has too.

my second choice was nanyang girls high but i chose to put dunman high as my first choice because i wanted a mix of boys and girls and i don't like friendship problems either. as girls are naturally more petty.

and dunman high plans a lot of activities for us. especially at the end of the year and the orientation camp is really fun.dunman hgih stresses on the fact that dunmanians come from one big family and there are very strong bonds between teachers and students.

i loive dunman high and would highly recommend it other student. it's rather stessing though especially during the end of the year. and i'm definitely proud to be a dunmanian.

oh and to help roflmao reply his question. we have a hostel as there are some foreigners in our school. but it's definitely not compulsory to stay there. and nothing about having to stay there. nothing of that sort. i highly recommend dunman high. the learning environment is really engaging. and the teachers are very responsible. the school environment is nice too. cool facilities and stuff. you daughter should come. maybe i could get to know her and elp her around.

Hi Augmum


I was from DHS and graduated from HCI (College).

I would say that which school you choose depends on the goal your child and you have set for yourselves Both schools gave me entirely different experiences but I have enjoyed myself thoroughly in both. Whichever school your child eventually ends up in, I am sure she will enjoy herself very much as they are both very good schools, in my opinion.

All the best!

hi summer12345
thks for dropping by this thread and yr sharing.
would like to know why u had chosen to leave DHS for HCI for the 5th and 6th yr. (if u don't wish to explain, it's ok)

also, regarding my question to Roflmao, did u encounter such a problem in choosing yr desirable subjects combination in HCI?

(3) what are the choices for subjects combination in yr5, can u choose freely from the choices or is there a stiff competition whereby only the best of the best are eligible for the popular choices, leaving behind only the unpopular subjects. i asked this question is becos the above was \"experienced\" by my hub's nephew who was currently in HCI.

hub's sister (nephew's mother) commented that if his son would be in DHS, he would have done better, meaning more options for his Uni choices with better subjects combination freely to choose from in DHS.

P.S. I've no idea how to use PM on this forum either. Doesn't seem like I have an inbox which people can reply to because it always states 'access denied'. Only able to send PM.

oh, yr mssg it's definitely of help.thks.
i tried to reply to yr PM but there's no where that i can click on as it stated \"Sender does not accept replies\", so i'll have to post it here.

some more Qns if u don't mind.......or any1 else who happens to have the answers ..........TIA

1) isit rather difficult to transfer from end of yr 4 to another sch from one IP to another IP or JC, esp the top 5 JC. (as u mentioned that u went to HCI)
what are the min criteria req for transferring? does CCA plays a vital role? (my gal would not have a outstanding CCA for sure).
2) what is a typical timetable like for junior high in DHS (put aside CCA, remedial classes). isit all CCA req min twice/week or any clubs only req once/week ?

[hugehugesmileyface]

hmm. hi. regrading your questions. sports ccas. for me is twice a week. uhm. other ccas range from 2 to 3 times a week. varying during competition period.


a typical timetable is uhm from 8 to 1.45 earliest and 3.45 latest. on mondays school starts at 9 so ends at 2.15. and for the 3.45 days theres probably only once in ten days. the timetable does not go in week but in ten days cos there are more subjects.

and regarding that. in year 2 and year 4 you'll get the chance to switch to vjc. uhm and i think there is a few procedures that you have to undergo to switch but it's possible. but dunman high is alr one of the top 5 jcs.

for dunman high. the best cca would be CO, chinese ochestra, but joining CO would mean more commitment. is your daughter musically or sports inclined? furthermore. as long as she has a cca, it's good enough. cos we have the CHAMPS and STARS system here. the main ccas are the compulsory CHAMPS. so cca is not much of a worry in secondary school.

[hugehugesmileyface]

oh. and the clubs and societies are under stars. so she has to take either drama, music, dance, or sports. yep yep. photography clubs and other clubs are second ccas. and are not compulsory.
