From today onwards (going forward) -
a)
lets call this school, \"Dunman Junior College\" , no longer just merely being a High school.
b)
no more so called miserable \"on-demand\" one, single O-level class, comprising a very small pool of candidates.
But, going forward, will open several full-fledged O-level classes.

I don’t think they have announced that they will become a dual-track school with both O level and IP track right from Sec 1 onwards, so part b) may not be correct. Not at this moment at least.hip hip hurray ! At long last, finally !

Awonder:
Yes, MOE had confirmed that
HI, does that mean they are going to take in this years' 'O' level students?
implementation starting (take effect from) wef this year, 2018 GCE O level cohort batch (born 2002) :-
After O-level exam results are out next year 2019, whose expected date of O-level results release announcement is around (14 January 2019), thereabout :
JAE (Joint Admission Exercise) O-level applicants from various Secondary schools all over Singapore, who are interested in studying GCE A-level at Dunman Junior College, can apply.
As long as their L1R5 O-level results are able to meet the Admission Cut-off point (2019), for both Arts & Science stream JC1 (Junior College Year 1), they can enter. Next year (2019) market forces of demand & supply (# of vacancies or Total number of classes, allocated for JAE applicants), will determine the Admission Cut off point for Science / Arts stream, at Dunman and River Valley JCs.
The same apply to River Valley Junior College, as well.
This is great news, because MOE finally giving us back (returning us back) 2 more A-level bound destination Junior Colleges, by Transforming SAP (Dunman & River Valley High) into Junior Colleges, after removing (take-away / subtract) 4 JCs (namely, Serangoon, Tampines, Innova, Jurong JC), through the merging of 8 JCs -

Students staying in the east, up to Pasir Ris / Loyang zone -
since there are going to be Total 4 Junior Colleges (including Dunman), to choose from, in the east :
will there be any changes to the Admission Cut-off point intake for JAE applicants, affecting or impacting (Victoria, Temasek & Meridian) Junior Colleges, as well as to Eunoia & Nanyang JC, both Science & Arts stream, next year ? In a way, this also kind of depend on the number of JC1 classes (vacancies) opened, at (Dunman & River Valley) JCs.
Next year (2019): we shall see !
forsee that these 2 new Transformed JCs going to be popular, because
they are SAP IP JCs, going to attract many good O-level candidates. -

Any reports confirming if RV or DHS are going to move? Based on their current premise (esp RV), I don’t think they can accommodate 3000 students?

Awonder:
Yes. DHS and RV will take in 80 vacancies each.

Also heard from my friends with children in DHS currently that school has announced that next year’s Sec 1 intake will not be reduced due to the above 80 vacancies and that school will continue to operate on the IP track model and not ‘dual track’ model. Announcement was made in school yesterday. For reference, current Sec 1 cohort size is about 360 students.

Maybe this 80 vacancies comes from those who chose to leave after Yr 4 to enter other JCs??

FantasyLandDreams:
currently, for 2018 JC1 level itself alone, ie. Year 5 students : how many Year 5 classes are there, for (Arts / Science) stream, at Dunman ?
DHS and RV will take in 80 vacancies each.
Source of info:
https://www.zbschools.sg/news/local/stories-9728
is it split equally, ie 50 percent ratio for Arts, another 50 percent for Science, or is it a much higher ratio being assigned to the Science classes, if Dunman is stronger in her A-level Sciences ?
Each Year 5 class : roughly, how many students, based on subject combination ? Around 25+, per class ?(A-level subject combination)
So, next year 2019 JC1 February intake (after O-level Janurary release announcement results), with 80 fresh new, additional JAE students coming in to join 2019 IP students (born 2002) :-
does it mean that 40 seats being assigned to Science stream, while another 40 seats being allocated to Arts stream, assuming a 50 percent an evenly split ratio, between these 2 stream ?
