My girl in science stream and DHS is her 4th choice


But that boy results (10-2) better than my girl (12-4)

Hi kiasupoh,

Dunman High General Office (admin) was the source, that released info

Science COP : 9

Arts COP : 10

Based on your daughter (12 - 4) equal 8, by right should have got into Science stream. Hence, it is very strange, that she did not get in. Perhaps you may want to clarify with Dunman High, why she did not ? Appreciate, if you also can let us know the reason too, since it is puzzling ? :? Thank you.

Below is DHS GO telephone number

Telephone : 634-50533

My girl gotten seat in DHS with her 12-4 results. The nephew of love1001 didnt get in with his results 10-2. Maybe dunman prefer kids who took HCL

Choice is not a factor these days between students. The computer settles each student's posting before moving on the the next (except in the case of ballots, I guess). It simply means that she was not successful in her first 3 choices. Even in the student after her had placed DHS as the first choice, it wouldn't make any difference.

[quote=\"floppy\"]HCL has nothing to do with it.


His grade is better than her grade, but both are still not better than someone who scores 8 (without any bonus point).

I find it strange if they are applying for the same stream - if there are insufficient places for students with net 8 pts, then the one with gross 10 pts should have got a place over the one with gross 12 pts. If it went to ballot, the the one with 12 pts shouldn't have been considered at all? But it was the girl with gross 12 pts who got a place. So my guess is that they applied for different streams.

However, the Dunman COPs which someone posted are 9 and 10 for Science and Arts respectively, so both should have got places with net 8 pts?

Unless that someone is Ng Chee Meng or Ong Ye Kung, take what you see or read with a healthy pinch of salt until MOE officially releases the result.[/quote]My girl in science stream and DHS is her 4th choice

Just to share the same happened to my nephew too!


He prefers poly but parents (especially SIL) wants him to go JC. He got 8 points (10-2) and Dunman is the first choice due to proximity to home. They appealed today but many are appealing too. Some are 9 pointers whereas others are 8.

SIL even called MOE to enquire the reason for meeting COP but did not get posted to the JC but MOE officer only suggest them to go down to JC and appeal. Did not disclose any additional information.

@mylilgirl - I dropped you a PM. Thanks to check.

In love1001 sil situation, her nephew has a better grade than my dd but he is not posted to DHS, could it be he did not took up HCL?

Do we parents need to accompany the kids to school reporting today? My girl insist no need.

Please don’t accompany your kid to school reporting today. They are 16 years old. Not 6 years old. You must give them face and train them to be independent.

:salute: thanks

Wondering how the system works. My girl gotten seat in DHS which is her 4th choice. Her o results 8 points (12-4). Her third choice is acjc and the cop is 8. Maybe wants to take in more students that took HCL? :?

Well done, Cedarians.

Average L1B5 is 10.6. School granted half day off next Wednesday. Well done NCzen.

Thanks for all the advices. DD choose to go St. Nick as this is her dream school. In fact most of her classmates also need to travel 1hr plus on public transport to reach their secondary school ( from Bedok tampines to DHS, RGS. Hopefully she can cope thru out this 4 years.
