Agree with you. IP programme can be v stressful and not suitable for everyone.

Being a parent is not easy now. I m now just assessing my son ability either IB, ip or o level is best for my son. During the honey moon period now, I ask for my son to read through all these programs n decide what he thinks best for himself. I analysize with him that he knows his strengthen is languages, both Chinese and English. Maths and science are comparatively performed average only. He likes to write and do rsearch and so he needs to justify himself and know the requirement of those different programs. Then at the end of the day, according to the psle result, make his non-regretful decision.

I am sure your son has produced MC and is he also in list of irregularities report?
Then hopefully when markers are marking, they would take his illness into consideration.
Anyway, if CO already specified Express then it should be as such.
Know of kids who got into premier IP via DSA non CCA and eventually scoring 24x...they are now happily studying in the premier IP.
So ask your son don't worry because the score is something he can't change and after entering IP, just be happy and settle in.

My child has been getting above 80 marks (below 90) for all subject from P1 to P5. What is the chances of getting into Dunman High via acadamic and CCA leadership? She is not under GEP.


Should we try DSA to Dunman high next year? Or there is no chance at all?

One/two of the subjects should hit above 90 marks, if possible achieve it during P6 Prelim to gain extra chance. also, DC need to sit for GAT first before interview/.

Thanks.

Than I think no chance. :sad: My child since P4 has not exceed 90 marks. 1-2 subject is above 85 but below 90.

You can still try, no harm. also, the school needs to write a recommendation letter to support your child’s application.
