Dunman High School (Junior High)
-
POINT 1: LAPTOPS
I never had to buy a tablet/ laptop, even for Home-based learning! For students without a computer at home (or without internet access), the school has free-access computer labs with good wi-fi
The school computers are also very functional, comes with lots of Adobe and Microsoft Office programs.
For Senior High, the same applies! You can use school resources to do your work. Even for PW, you don't need one on your own because you can share one as a group, or use the school one for individual work.
Don't need to worry about that! (Though having your own laptop means you can go home to do homework).
POINT 2: OPPORTUNITIES
DHS is rather merit-conscious. You do well, you get more opportunities. This makes sense because these people are seen to be more deserving/ able to make the best out of limited opportunities. Works for both CCA and academics
Personally I appealed into DHS but could go for academic olympiads, do research projects etc. One thing though, YOU HAVE TO GO GRAB THESE OPPORTUNITIES. Many of my friends don't sign up for maths olympiad (which is free for all) because they believe that their Maths isn't olympiad standard. Who cares? You have to try to know, and trying makes you better at it, right? Don't worry so much about going in to win medals. (Want to know another secret? The people who do well at Maths Olympiad also study and prepare hard for them!)
POINT 3: SUBJECT COMBINATIONS
Dunman High offers most students their first choice subject combination. As a small school, the timetables are more flexible and odd combinations are welcome From outside sources, I heard that NJC offers a wider range of subject combinations at JC. BUT, this would be a major consideration for students considering Arts/ Hybrid stream :3 Do understand that restrictions on subject combinations may be for your own good, as the school has considered work load and the usefulness/ value of different subjects in a combination. -
ABOUT CCAs:
As mentioned previously, every CCA in every school has to be busy to be fulfilling. 2-3 times a week would be a good commitment level. Really good way to get students interested in school, as they have something to look forward to other than lessons
In my opinion, most DHS CCAs (especially in Junior High) are hard core and train many times a week. The spirit of excellence is strong!
ABOUT BUTTONS:
That's a great way to attach the metal button on, you don't have to use the ring every day. Anyway, remember to remove the buttons before washing the uniform. Some of my friends say the button will rust if you don't. I've got friends who just washed the buttons for 4 years without much rusting on the buttons too...
At the end of it, it's how much care you want to take of the buttons Most people keep the buttons after finishing Junior High/ graduating from DHS. The metal button was also one of the items in the DHS60 commemorative set! -
Hihi!
Can some parents or current students share on CCAs - Scouts / choir / Symphonic Band ?
Thanks in advance ! -
Anyone can share on tips about time management? Example:- how much time to allocate for each subjects? and what to do during the allocated time? To do research, revision, preparation for each subjects? and also the homework. I would like to understand from either parents or students of DHS. Thank you in advance!

Mind Sports is a CCA offered to SH, not JH.Hi I'm a Y1 student from Dunman high. I would just like to clarify if there is a mind sports cca. I checked the school website mind sports is listed there but it was not in the cca briefing that the school gave us and it is not on the slides as well.
Btw my first day had been great! The orientation was really fun today
Wait until you finish your Y4 EOYs to consider that CCA
Glad you had fun for orientation, enjoy your years in DHS! -

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 ??) -
Augmum:
With new Principal, maybe new policy???
