Dunman High School is an autonomous Co-educational Secondary School in Singapore . It is generally recognised as being one of the top schools and the top co-educational secondary school in Singapore in terms of academic results.12 The school is located at Tanjong Rhu . As Of 2007 , it is temporarily located at the former Raffles Junior College campus in Buona Vista while its existing campus is being rebuilt. 3 Construction is expected to end in 2009 . Its Chinese name ''Démíng'' (德明) is a transliteration of "Dunman", named after an English governor, Lord Dunman. The meaning of its name in Chinese is derived from a line in the '' Book Of Rites '' (大学之道，在明明德) which is a statement that has influenced the Emperors of the glorious Han, Tang and Song dynasties in Imperial China. Written in ancient and refined wenyanwen, reflecting traditional Confucian intellectual and moral scholarship, it can be crudely translated into modern English as "the Tao (Way) to the greatest learning lies in understanding the brightest Virtues". HISTORY On 14 October 1956 , in the midst of the Chinese Middle Schools Riots , the Ministry Of Education (MOE) established the predecessor of Dunman High School — Kallang West Government Chinese Middle School. |
