After factoring in inflation, her observation might work out to be $25-$30 /wk. In any case, I would think such things can be determined and adjusted as required after 2 weeks of school, and whether food is ex. is subjective and likely to be in line with other schools. So don't fret and not lose sight of the fact that allowing your child to happily immerse into the IP program is the priority. -

And I read most of the posts in this thread before deciding on the one and only DSA application (to DHS and was successful) for my DS thanks to all the intuitive and helpful posts here. We're now a \"family\" I suppose. -

May i know if there are any tuition centres that specialises in DHS syllabus? Or any centres that many dunmanians flock to? -
Hi ! I’m wondering if any current DHS parent/pupil has any thoughts/feedback/experience to share on the Music Elective Programme and the School Art Programme. Hope someone can address the following questions that I have.
2)When can Sec 1 pupils apply and roughly what is the intake per programme like ?
3)Are these examinable subjects ?
4)If a pupil is taking one of the above, are they still allowed to take a 3rd language or can they only choose to do 1 elective ?
5)What is the drop-out rate for the 2 programmes ?
6)What is the weekly timetable like - after school hours/how often/duration of each lesson/location of class ?
DD got offer of 3rd lang . student only can chose 1 special prg. Can she still try to apply MEP? or SAP? Then only decide what to sign up after Sch re open?
Thank you !!!
Thank you in advance -

- there will be theory test and audition in order to get selected.
- U have to be committed for 4 yrs for MEP/ AEP, so not appropriate to talk abt drop- out rate.
- Yes, they are examinable subjects, can be used to replace one subj in yr3/4
- if u take 3 rd lang and MEP / AEP, U will have to drop 3rd lang when comes to yr 3 ( since u cant drop MEP/ AEP)
- lessons are conducted once a week, after school lessons ( as seen fr the timetable). -
