Hi Parents,

If your child is currently in DLS, can you share your opinion of DLS school? How’s the Principal, Teachers, school attitude towards academic achievements, whether children enjoy their school life in DLS, etc. I saw in earlier posts saying the school academic performance has slided, with new Principal, inexperienced Teachers, etc.

My husband is an OB, so we are eligible for Phase 2A. However we are not staying within CCK vicinity. The schools around my place are HOT schools and I am unfortunately within 1-2km, with NO chance to even ballot in Phase 2C. Even the normal school is outside 1km.

We are prepared to move to within 1 km whichever school we have identified, even if it is DLS. So here I would like to ask dear parents, how is DLS school? Thanks in advance!

Depends on what you're looking for in a primary school. My eldest girl went to DLSS, she graduated in 2016 and is now at SST. She enjoyed studying there - school, teachers, friends, work, etc. Teachers were friendly and kept us updated on her progress. My hubby and I like the morals taught by the school, education was secondary for us. But we did not find the education lacking for anything either :salute: My girl achieved a good PSLE score which she set herself to achieve - another plus.

My youngest will be starting at DLSS next year and for her, it will be another journey though we know what to expect now :imcool: Looking forward to it!

Hi there,


It had been awhile since I last left a message here. Any parents whose kids are in DLS knows if there is school bus service from the SC to Yishun? :thankyou:

There isn't as far as I know . I am also looking for bus to Yishun. Is your child in P1 next year?

[ongjoe]

She will be in P1 in Yr 2019. Oh you are staying in Yishun as well? I am actually an OB of DLS, so that is why most likely we will try for Phase 2A. However, a concern shared by my wife is the distance from home to school. Whether will it be a toll on my daughter? Hope to be able to hear more from you especially when your eldest girl is also in DLS.

We were planning to send the youngest to student care now at least for the first 2 and a half years. My eldest was picked up from school until last term of P3 and she started taking the train back on her own. Not too bad, walking distance to Yew Tee MRT and one train ride home. Still depends on the child though, I am hoping my youngest is able to do the same at that time.

Alternatively, we are considering Schoolber. :scratchhead:
