Dunman Secondary School

Dunman Secondary School (Abbreviation: DMN) is an autonomous co-educational secondary school in Singapore. Formerly established along Dunman Road of Singapore, the school was founded in 1963, and has been relocated in Tampines to the eastern part of Singapore.

In 2006, the school revamped the basement from student's suggestions. The doors to the basement were painted to create the illusion of a dark tunnel. A jamming room equipped with guitars and drums for the musically-inclined Dunmanites was added. The corridors outside the Design and Technology room were given a fresh new look. However, the PRIME project has demolished the basement and the C and T block is to be demolished soon.

The school campus is being upgraded under the Programme for Rebuilding and Improving Existing schools by the Ministry of Education. The school is being expanded and improved. The school hall is being made twice as big and will have air-conditioning. The school will have an indoor sports hall.

In 2005, after the Boxing Day Tsunami, an ex-student, Mohd Faiz Bin Mohd Rashid, approached the school with an idea: to organise a concert to raise funds to aid the victims. Arrangements were made for celebrities and students to perform at the event. The concert raised S$35,000.

In 2008 DSS proposed a change to their logo and motto. This caused an uproar among former students of the school. Neo has commented: "The school and teachers with the support of stakeholders would not have effected a change in the badge if it did not feel that it was necessary. We understand the sentiments of Dunmanites who, like us, love the school very much but hope you can appreciate the need to stay relevant to the 21st century. Our motto and school song will remain with us. The former badge that has served Dunman so well through the years will always be preserved and a part of our heritage. The school is setting up a Heritage Centre and I hope you will channel your energies to support your alma mater in bringing the school to the next level.. All are welcome to be a part of Dunman as we progress."

Dunmanites wear the full school uniform - beige blouse and brown skirt for girls, usually with shorts underneath; and white top and bottom for boys - along with their tie and nametags every Monday. For the rest of the week, they are allowed to come to school in the school's polo tee (brown or white), with their nametags. Girls are only allowed to wear white and beige colored bras. School councillors wear the full uniform every day of the week, including a golden council badge (pinned at the upper top left of uniform) and golden nametag (pinned at upper bottom left of uniform). The school PE uniform is orange and the shorts are brown. Attire checks are conducted every Monday during the morning assembly.
