Hello Piggylalala...

1) My gal didnt take bus 158 before in the morning....so i cant provide u the info on the morning journey...( perhaps other parents can help on this)
Anyway, the bus travel time fr mountbatten mrt to sch is abt 10 mins...

2) There are basically 2 types of BSP avail fr sec 3 onwards...
BSP scholars ( Moe ) n sch based BSP....
For the former...stringent selection criteria based on languages results n Interview, juz like SMP ( science mentorship prog)
For the latter...sch based BSP much easier to get in...though there is still some GPA criteria to meet....

3) CCA can be selected fr UG/ PA / Sports / Clubs n Societies ....only 1 CCA is req...

Hope the above helps to address some of yr concerns....

Thanks augmum.
My main concern is still the distance. A few more days for us to decide whether to apply dsa to dhs. I think the question may have been asked before. What is the reporting time in the morning and the official school hours?

Yup...distance is a great consideration...
But one thing good abt DHS is the sch reporting time is later than other schs...so there is some \"buffer\" to work on...[/quote]Totally agree! The 8am reporting time is really helpful
Even in year 1, there are many times my girl has to stay back for activities or working on projects, so distance and traveling time is of great consideration... they still have 不少 homework to do upon returning home :roll:

One more question. What is the class size in dhs? Thank you.

In the past was between 33-35... ( any changes?)
Sbge classes will be 25

Still about these numbers of students in the Year 1 this year. Sbge about 28.

For all DHS parents and students...enjoy your holiday after another term of hard work!

Hi, I am going to Paris soon for the first time. A bit paranoid after reading about the gang theft and crimes in Paris. :scared:


Any suggestion about using an anti-theft bag in Paris? How useful it can be? Any recommended brand? Where can I get it in Singapore?

Thanks so much in advance.

So glad and touched to read about student from DHS... :rahrah:


Speech by Mr Heng Swee Keat, Minister for Education, at the Opening Ceremony of the National School Games (NSG) on Thursday, 6 February 2014, 3.10pm at the ITE College Central

Learning Integrity and Service for Life through Sports
Each year, the Sportsmanship Award is given to athletes who best exemplify the attributes of character, integrity, and sportsmanship at the NSG. Amidst the nominations and recommendations of worthy awardees, I am heartened to hear of a badminton player from Dunman High School.

During a nail-biting, high-stakes doubles match at the National Inter-School Badminton Championships, Ngee Ann Secondary smashed the shuttlecock out of play, and the umpire awarded the point to Dunman High. As everyone readied for the next rally, one of the players from Dunman High walked up to the umpire and explained that he had touched the shuttle before it went out of play - an honourable act of admission that took everyone by surprise! The umpire reversed his decision and awarded the point to Ngee Ann Secondary. The player’s integrity and action so touched the student athletes and teachers of Ngee Ann Secondary, that they gave him a rousing round of applause. Ngee Ann Secondary eventually won the match, and they wrote in to Dunman High to strongly request that the player be nominated for the Sportsmanship Award. This player was Lee Tai Yu.

Thanks for sharing this. :rahrah: Well done Lee Tai Yu! A good role model for all and we are so proud of you.

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone.
