<![CDATA[Dunman Secondary vs St.Hilda's Secondary School Review]]>Anglican High’s COP is 242. My son has 241 + 2 bonus points for HMT. Anyone know if he qualifies for the COP to apply? How is this school? Is it very competitive and academic driven?

The students (generally) seem well behaved as far as I can see (I live in the area so this is through my observations). I cannot comment on St Hilda’s though since I have not heard much of the school.


Anglican and Chung Cheng do not offer Tamil as a mother tongue so if you want him to not have to travel to a Tamil language center they’re both out.

I would say to put SJI higher on your list: I have heard good reviews about the school from my friend’s bother who studies there. Although the school is quite far away, its not terribly far from Pasir Ris and it is a better school than both Dunman Sec and St Hilda’s (and has Tamil as a Mother tongue).

Thanks

My friend\"s niece is from there. But if your son is there, he is likely to be one of the top students.

Another friend 's son got 238. Choosing Chung CHENG and Anglican high.
I will choose Chung Cheng. Affiliated to Nanyang JC as a backing , can cut 2 point off for entry to Nanyang JC. Currently the entry point is 8 point for Nanyang. The environment at Chung Cheng is better . I have a few friends' children from there. Since your boy's COp is 241, should try a better school.
Another friend 's child got 21x and stay around there don't wish to consider the st hilda. The school is good for primary but not secondary.
Thanks a lot magiccastle.

I'm also looking at school nearer to home. Since I'm at Pasir ris, Chung cheng and Anglican high may be far, right? or is it not? Please let me know

How is Dunman secondary? It is a neighbourhood school, so does not look fancy but many say it is a good school? Can you please advice..

Would you mind sharing the source of how this was concluded? - thought of sending my son there.

still not clear on below 3 questions…

why is there no comments on St.Hilda’s secondary? is it good or bad? in what way?

which school is better amongst Dunman sec., St. Hilda’s, Temasek sec., in terms of holistic development of child, character, confidence level and academics?

Victoria has a cutoff of 246. So if he cannot get into this, will he go automatically to option 2 Dunman?

Thanks all…

There is no open house for St Hilda’s. But then I went to the school for a look around. Talked to a student and parent and admin person there and they shared a fairly straight forward picture. Dunman from what I’ve heard is more competitive… all depends on what kind of lifestyle you want your child to have.

Dear Parents,

My child got 241 in PSLE2013.
I would like to know which schools in East are good.
Among Dunman Secondary, St. Hilda's and Temasek which is better in terms of holistic development of child, character, confidence level and academics.

I am thinking of putting my choices as below, is that right order.

1. Victoria Junior
2. Dunman secondary
3. St.Hilda's
4. Temasek secondary
5. St. Joseph's institution (due to distance)

Victoria has a cutoff of 246. So if he cannot get into this, will he go automatically to option 2 Dunman?
Appreciate your URGENT replies since i have to decide by today.
THANKS.
Maybe can consider ngee ann sec, tanjong katong sec, anglican high and chung cheng chung cheng high as well?

Of the 3, i would place dunman and temasek ahead of st hilda's
