Dunman High School (Junior High)

[stressedguy]

smurfetteloves:

Can anyone share his/her view comparing Victoria School, Dunman High and Temasek Junior College - e.g. in terms of IP programme, CCA achievements, the school environment and culture, etc?

I think dunman high is the best as it has the biggest area to study and the pupils there are taught to be polite,They do not commit any crimes and hands in their work on time. they have quite a large number of gold archeivements. The students there work very hard to get good results and does not slack.The school environment is quite mordern with kongzi in their garden which is perhaps located in the middle of the school. Their school is rich in both chinese and english culture but I do not know how to explain in words. Their IP programme is almost the same as other IP schools but provides a better way of learning by giving projects every week and ask them till they understand what they were taught.The teachers there are very strict and will not hesistate to school if the students talk unnessarily during the lessons.Their talent development proggramme cossist much more compared to TJC and Vs.They also organise camps almost every month if I am not wrong.I hoped my son to go to Vs and if I were you,I would put dunman high as 2nd choice and vs as first choice

I replied this at victoria school and temasek JC kiasu parents web too.

Just saw the above from another post. DHS is ranked 3rd.
As as an alumus, I am proud of my alma matta. As a parent, I am pleased with the school's long tradition of good culture and environment.

hello. I'm a P6 student, and I intend to apply for dunman with aggregate 252+2. I'm still short of 2pts from COP. If I fail, what are the chances of getting in if I do appeal? I don't have a lot of achievements but I go for Maths Olympiad classes from P4-P6, rather inclined to maths. Is NAPFA also a consideration cos' I got Gold for all three years. Thank You!

Hi, I have a question on logistics. What is the best way to get from a Circle Line MRT station to DHS?


From the map, I see a bus-stop right outside the school. But there is only 1 bus service, 158. Is this bus service frequent?

The bus-stop on Fort Road - how long do you take to walk there from DHS?

We are interested in DHS, but the journey there does not seem to be convenient?

Thanks

Most students would drop at Moubatten Station and take a 10 mins walk through the entrance in front of the library.

Yes, Mountbatten Stn - walk abt 10~15 min. You can also take 158 outside the stn.

During term time, I believe the school has made special arrangement with SBS. During peak, there is an addition bus 158A looping between Aljunied Rd (Aljunied Stn) - Tanjong Rhu in the morning as well as in the afternoon during those hours when class are dismiss. Sometimes, you can also see these buses waiting along the road beside the school field.

From Fort Rd to DHS, I believe is abt 5~10 min walk.
