Hi, my son just got his PSLE scores & we are considering to try Dunman High. To confirm, the reporting hours for Dunman High is so late? I thought the reporting time will be 7.30 or so like some of the govt aided school. Can I check if the School is walking distance from Mountbatten MRT?

Yes school starts at 8am on Mon to Thurs and 9am on Fri.

DHS is within walking distance from Mountbatten mrt station. My girls and many of their friends usually choose to walk. Of course there's also a bus service that goes from Mountbatten mrt right up to the front gate of the school.

Anyone has DHS results for PW? My dd said teachers told them this year’s result is better than last year (last yr 96.2% A) but no details given. From hearsay only 3 didn’t get an A. Not sure if that’s true!

Thanks Lervin for the sharing of DHS 2016 A level results...

Big CONGRATS to DHS 2016 A level cohort...Well done !!!

I am most impressed with the % of Distinctions for H2 Geog when i first heard it from my gal...
ALL these years, DHS has been consistently performing well for her H2 Geog with 70+ % of Distinctions...but for 2016 yr...managed to surpass the norm with 91.7 %...Marvelous !!!

Wonder why this year there is a delay in updating the school website...as past years DHS has been very prompt in reporting her A level results... ( hmm...any technical fault ??)

With new Principal, maybe new policy???

No kids here using DSA Basketball to Dunman High? Need some advise. Thank you

thmejlfm:

Hi! Any parent's kid using DSA Basketball for Dunman High? How is their training? Do the teacher and coach care about their players' School Work? Any support from the school teachers and coach, when the player cannot cope? Thank you

My dd is in another sports cca (via dsa), not basketball. Generally I feel that teachers-in-charge and coaches focus more on the sports itself (training, competition etc). As for academic, if one can't cope, the school has supplementary prog to help. In any case, you can always bring the case to the attention of the teachers-in-charge, year head or even the Principal to come up with a plan to help your child. Of course, your child will have to try his/her best to work very hard.

Hope this helps.

[quote=\"Oh My Gosh\"]DSA registration ongoing... parents with kids in DHS, can you provide a overview of how you feel about your kids there? Any regrets or re considerations if given another chance? TIA!

Hi Oh My Gosh

DD Dsa to DHS via General two years ago. She is currently in Yr 2 and very very happy with the choice she made. In fact, most of her pri school classmates choose to return to their secondary section (she came from a pri school with a secondary section), and she was one of a handful from her pri school that chooses DHS instead. She has never looked back since then. I guess the reason is because the school offers a very conducive environment. Help is always available as long as you ask for it, whether it is consultations with the teachers or asking her seniors for notes. As they like to call it - 一个大家庭。

As for Dsa via general or academic, DD never participated in any maths Olympiad or major science competitions except for the commonwealth essay writing competition. Hence we tried Dsa via general. My two cents worth - look at the criteria for each Dsa category before you decide which route to take. It would also b good to bring your DC to the open house this Sat 28 May. The talk by the principal gives good insight into the Dsa selection process n what to expect in this school if your child is accepted.

Hope it helps and all the best to your child!

Sorry, I mean what is the difference in commitments for DSA via General Academics or DSA via Specific Academics (e.g. Maths and Science)?[/quote]No difference. In fact, once you are accepted, you are just like everybody else in the school. No extra commitment as in workload or activities.
