Dunman High School

Second uniform for today :) Despite the white top, the metallic buttons made it not as plain as it would be. Simplicity at its finest.

Background Information
Dunman High School (DHS) is an autonomous co-educational secondary school in Singapore offering the Integrated Programme and the Special Assistance Plan(SAP). It is one of the leading co-educational high schools in Singapore in terms of academic results, and one of the largest government schools in Singapore in terms of physical area.

From 2005, the school offered implemented a customised version of the 6-year Integrated Programme called the Dunman High Programme (DHP), which allows all students to bypass the O-Level examinations and directly take the A-Level examinations. To meet the needs of the Integrated Programme, the school moved to a holding school in the former Raffles Junior College at Mount Sinai in December 2006 to allow for upgrading of the current site at Tanjong Rhu.

The land area of the expanded campus increased from four hectares to seven hectares, making Dunman High School one of the biggest government schools in Singapore. In December 2008 the classrooms, general office and staff rooms of the Tanjong Rhu Campus were completed, and the school moved back to the Tanjong Rhu campus.On 2 January 2009 the school opened to a new year with an opening ceremony named "Homecoming" (回家) to welcome students and staff to the upgraded campus. 

The school crest of Dunman High School was designed by the late Chen Jen Hao, its second principal, and Liu Kang, a pioneer in local fine art and former art teacher of the school.^[19]The two Chinese characters read, from right to left, "Dé míng", the Chinese name of the school. The characters are written in seal script.

The red colour symbolises passion and the drive for success. The blue colour signifies peace and dignity, while the circular border represents wholeness and unity, as well as the pursuit of universality, as defined in the Confucian classic Book of Rites.
