Hi,



for my son this year enrollment. agreed with you, most probably with register here first then move to other school later on. But the problem is
we don't know the prefer school still have vacancy or not later on. seem like DD has alot homework start from which level? is it P2? You mean DD is consider good school among CCK area? Thanks

Suryadt,
When is your girl P1? If still 2-3yr n not decide, get somewhere nearly. Is very tire for them if travel distance is far. Plus there is lot of homework for DLS. Like it or not, lot of home => better chance to get higher grade. u may decide to get tuition later which is tougher to allocate time.

If u thinking of ok ok school, then put in any west and move to any east school will not be much diff. Now my girl take school bus from CCK, she already need wake up 545 in order to catch bus

My view is in CCK, South view is best. This link might help.

What is good depends on your criteria. If its based on top PSLE student then I think South View is better.


Heard South View used rote learning so I heard from my colleague that she decided against South View as it will stifle her child’s creativity.

Paulyn is right. It depends on your criteria.


It also depend on attitude and effort that child n u put in. Same school, same teacher, grade between top and bottom is a big gap. A named good school is not a guarantee of future.

SV is not based on rote learning. If you attend their openhses or go to their site on the programs offered by the schs, you'll c a balance of both academic & non academic eg performing arts, sports etc which really enhances the students creativity. Each year the sch will stage a musical, this yr's just ended last wk.

My boy is in SV and is enjoying his various dance lessons, drama etc which parents are invited to watch. Of course, when exam period comes....there'll be lots of revision paper. I think, the sch really practise...work hard, play hard

I'm sure DLS has lots of their own programs too which develops the potential of their students.

I will be happy to answer

Hi Favplusle,

Please tell me about the culture and learning environment at DLS? What CCAs DLS is strong at or what are the interesting ones? I read from the thread that teachers can be fierce, is it happening?

I just registered my DS under Phase 2A2 for P1 next year, so I have very interested to find out anything about the school. DS is looking forward to studying at DLS too.

Hi Favpusie,

which year u graduate?

Hi Melodyrain2,
There is a mix of teacher la. Fierce is not all bad. Overall, DLS is good. There are lots of non-academic activities too. Recently, my DD has the interest of Ukulele as i hear from her that school has hundred of them and they learn during P4 Music.

Thanks Favpusie. I was not from DLS but my husband was an old boy.
