The sch will be ready by end of the year.

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 Melodyrain2, your DS will defintely like the new sch. Welcome him to the Lasalle family.

happibbmama, heard that there is only 1 lift and its for the teachers… And only seven storeys… how are they getting the kids up the 7 storey I really dono and its a concern too…

Happibbmama. Thanks for the note.


For others, don't need to worry too much about how kids cope with the stairs. Previously, my DD feedback toilet is super rundown. It's good to have new. My girl in upper lever and she told me as upper level is expect to climb high when return to addr. Take it as an exercise for them to be fit.

Normally the upper level will be on higher level and lower level will be at lower floor.
As for the lift usage, its not confirm yet whether the teachers are using only or not.
But its a good exercise.

Well,I find the learning and culture environment is good where the teachers are helpful and they emphasize on values like gratefulness , respect etc. If your child is a catholic he/she will attend catechism , If not he/she will attend character value lessons .

For the CCA part, im not so sure... I only joined CCAs which has all girls in it.
If your child loves sports,Basketball and Taekwondo can be quite interesting.
If your child loves outdoor stuff, Scouts will be good
If your child likes IT, Robotics club will be fun

During my 6 years in DLS, I have encountered fierce teachers, but they wont be fierce (or terrible) to the extent where they pull students hair etc.
As more new teachers come to teach with others leaving the school, it may be a different case for your child.

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.

I graduated last year

i just got my kid registered under Phase 2A2 as well. Was an old boy years back when DLS was in Telok Blangah. Personally, I do not mind having strict teachers. To me, discipline is very important. What matter most to me is the affliation linked to the secondary and college. The education system in SG has got so competitive nowadays so much so that 1/2 point can make a difference on which secondary school your kid can go to.
