hi
oh my gal got 267.
btw, which yr are u in now??
any regrets?? (sorri to ask such question).

seems that no other parents/pupils discussing in this DHS thread....
as if like i m the odd one.......so lonely here

come on....any parents/pupils choosing DHS as 1 st choice??

My girl got 258+2. She would like to applied for DHS, but I am not very optimistic that the cutoff point will remain at 260 this year as DHS cop seems to be on the uptrend in the last few years.

summer,


i let my gal read yr lastest posting, she was quick to point out this
But I admit I had a more enjoyable time in DHS.
told her..........since she 's the one who chooses this sch, she better don't regret 4 yrs down the road, when it comes to JC yrs.

267 I thought NYGH is the natural choice if distance is not a problem. Can be very tiring to travel. Experienced it as I live in the east.

Oh since distance is a problem then should be DHS.. Next time when she's in year 3-6 I guess she will be taking public transport with her friends. I take about 60 mins to get back from Bkt Timah actually. When I get home, too tired to do anything.

But ehhh honestly I thought a parent will choose the 'better' school..

Btw can I ask why you didn't consider RGS?

Hey Summer,
why do you think that DHS is not the 'better' school?

you enjoyed yourself in DHS in your 4 years there... and i think DHS actually give a very rounded education and instilling good values. look at yourself.

Augmum,
i think since your gal has already decided on DHS, then DHS is it. She is the one going to spend time in school, so its better be a school that she loves going to. Furthermore, its nearer for your gal to go DHS right? I say, 1st choice = DHS!

hugehugsmileyface,
hmm, yes, VJC took 10 years to produce a president scholor... and he is none other then your principal - Mr Sng! Mr Sng is a very passionate educator and he has insisted on education as his career choice since young. He has done an oustanding job in transforming DHS and maintaining DHS as one of the top schools in singapore.

I was speaking in terms of academic rigour and perhaps, practicality..
