Hi my child is studying in DHS sec 2. And she is not aware of O level class in sec 3.

Good day. My son is currently in sec 4 DHS.
FYI DHS used to offer olevel for students who could not cope with the IP pace. However they had abolished such system.

If a child is not able to meet GPA 2.4 (must pass English too) or fails / never do well on certain subject, student would have to go for retest. If they never achieve a certain grading or mark (I am unsure about the details) , student has to repeat. My son took a retest cause he did badly in year 3 GPA about 2.5 and failed both Maths & physic + a boarder passed in chemistry. He did a retested for Both maths + chem and achieved A* for all. And he was advanced to sec 4. One of his friend did not achieved school requirement and had to repeat Y3.

Sad to say, one of his year 4 friend would have to go to poly after completing Year 4 (this year) as he is not able to cope well with IP program.


dHS is really a good school. Teachers r caring n diligent. However not all kids r able to cope with the stress. The tension would be more when kids r in senior high (year5) . jC is really 没天没地的在读书 as kids r trying to achieve a better grade for their A levels.

My elder is taking psle this year. I feel that his result should be able to get into DHS. But I would not apply any IP school for him. Just let him go to a better neighbhood secondary school. I don think he could be able to cope with the stress , workload and projects. I will let him go to JC by taking olevels. Maybe he would prefer to go poly. I let him decide after his olevels.

Hi, anyone knows if DHS offers those IP students an O level route if they can't keep up with the IP curriculum? Thanks

No, Dunman High has no O level route or O level classes currently. DHS students will all be going through with IP curriculum.

Likely too early since need to wait for posting results.
But count me in as well if there is.

On the contrary, anyone has 2024 IP1 booklist?

Hi, may I know what’s the PLD used to Dunman High? Thanks!

Hi,

May I understand the degree of self directed learning in DHS? As I understand that most IP schools emphasize more on self directed learning, will the child be able to cope well? How’s the intensity of the teachers’ coaching in class? Will it be more of self learning approach and lesser on teachers’ guidance? Hope somebody can share their experiences. Also, can anyone share the school hours as well? Read from the previous post, the school will be starting at 8am and ending at 3pm excluding CCA? Will there be any HBL days?

If I remember correctly, all days, start school at 8am except for Wednesday at 9am.

School ends at 2pm without CCA, EM (elective module), third language, MEP (music) and ASP (Art) .

EM, third lang, MEP, ASP are not compulsory.

As for HBL for year 1, will start slightly later due to waiting to get their pld.
Normally is for 2 weeks will have 1 day HBL…
