Dunman High School (Junior High)

[CaringDad]

Hi, I am a new comer. My ds has just received his only dsa posting notice with DHS in waiting list. He does reasonably well in all math, eng , science but poor in Chinese 65-70 no HCL. He is aiming VS but also worried if chinese marks pull his psle score down. If he get into DHS, will he survive there due to his currently poor chinese in Primary? I am afraid it may ruin the whole thing ...

Anybody who has kids get into DHS with not so well CL?? Pls help... need to decide tomorrow ... :slapshead:

Are your son DSA by academic or sports? He is GEP?

[CaringDad]

It is by academic. He is obviously more potatoes, he likes and perform much better in english than his under performing chinese.

He prefers Victoria school IP but will be very challenging due to his chinese that may pull down his psle score. Shall he give a miss for DHS and hope for his preference…

Hi caring dad, my ds have decided to give up his co for dhs in favor of going for S1 result to his preferred school… While for me is not an easy decision as this co is worth 256 points after all if we use last year cop as a reference as well as forgoing another offer, we are supportive of his decision. However in the leadup to this decision, we insisted that he consulted his school teachers as well (and they were supportive as well)… While he is not exactly in love with chinese, his main issue is inconsistency; however we do see his point that at least he have a try at his 1st choice, even if in the end there is a possibility that he may not get it. This is just to share with you as we also spent days thinking over this…

DHS has real good teachers who can teach and strong bonding among peers who really help. Chinese is not the only subject they look into. It’s the overall GPA.

Hi Dreamgear,
Today is the last day to decide on the choice. Presume you have a CO but going to let go and just wait for S1.
There are people who let go of CO from RI HCI and NYGH for DHS. There is no regret even they have to travel the distance. Imagine the happy 6 years with good resources from around sincere peers and teachers.
Hope you get to see this before 12nn today as the dateline for submission.

has decided to let go and wait for S1, as ds seems to not like it. It is a diff decision but we need to respect his point and dream.

hi dreamgear,
thanks for sharing. as parents, it has been hard to decide, after consulting with one dunmanian about the pros and cons, and considering ds persistence to pursue his prefered school, we concluded to let go the chance. 1hr to go, nothing right or wrong ... moves on..
