Hi mamajoy

I did not have any tuition despite even my mother asking if I wanted any when I was failing econs hahaha. It was just a personal preference as I felt I would prefer the time to look through my problems on my own. And also if I had any problems I could always consult my teachers so I didn't see the need to engage a private tutor. Turned out well though, I got A for both

I'll being studying Engineering in London soon. School haven't start yet.

And to reply Snow Crystal about teachers, culture and how I cope:
I guess teachers in the school change over time (and more frequently now it seems, which I don't really like but anyway...) so I think my teachers especially JH ones may not be teaching in DHS anymore by now. However, I must say that there are quite a few long serving teachers who are really dedicated and well-loved by students. Total respect to them.

I really like the culture in DHS, which many people will describe as 'family-like'.

Gearhat- thanks for your inspiring posts. We parents tend to panic when our kids do not do well. You are really sensible to decide to study on your own for subjects you don't do well and lift them to As! Marvellous. All the best to your studies in UK! I am sure with your resilience, you will do extremely well in your chosen course.

Haha, thank you very much! But seriously though, don't panic! (and complain less also) Stay calm and find out the root of the problem. It's the only way to truly solve the problem.

I hope your kids do well in school as well As with all the other students and especially those who are trying to get into DHS.[/quote]Hi gearhat

Thanks so much for all the very inspiring sharings. Really helps us to understand how to do well in senior high. One more question, did you have to buy assessment books (apart from whatever material was given by school) to practise or study for the various subjects? I understand DHS does give quite a bit of worksheet, papers etc. Are those sufficient for A level preparation or do the students have to purchase additional assessment books, material etc to do well? THanks in advance.

No need for extra assessments at all. Most content subjects will require students to buy 10 yr series and may use that in class. Other than 10 yr series school will also print past yr school papers and other jc papers. Not all are compulsory but you must pay for those. That should be more than enough already. Before each exam (say, CTs) school will print 2-3 dhs past yr paper. After the exam you will have access to other JCs' CTs paper for that year (normally 5-8 will be made available for printing). Come prelims you get another round of everything and you still have 10yr series. That's like 32 sets of full paper for ONE subject. Cannot finish one, so you don't have to worry

I think I only completed around 70% of the papers I had by the end of a-levels, and I didn't buy any extra assessments.

Would like to check if there are any special maths olympiad training in the school? What is the selection process?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Both my DS and nephew in S1 took part. They are not math superkid. I do not think there is selection process as it is not a competition, rather is for interest and self test. There are several weekly training sessions in school.
