Dunman Secondary School

What Dunman Secondary School does

Dunman Secondary School is a Singapore government secondary school operating under the Ministry of Education (MOE), located at 21 Tampines Street 45 in the Tampines planning area. Founded approximately in 1964-1965 and now in its 60th year, the school delivers secondary education across Secondary 1 to Secondary 5 levels, preparing students for the GCE O-Level and N-Level examinations. The school is led by Principal Mr Toh Thiam Chye, supported by three Vice-Principals and approximately 70 or more teaching and administrative staff across 10 academic departments and student management functions, including dedicated Heads of Department for English, Mother Tongue, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, ICT, Craft & Technology, Physical Education & CCA, Student Management, and Character & Citizenship Education. The customer base is structured around three persona segments: prospective Secondary 1 students entering via the MOE Direct School Admission (DSA) exercise, current Secondary 1-5 students progressing through GCE O-/N-Level preparation, and parents and guardians who engage via the Parents Gateway mobile app co-developed with MOE and GovTech.

The school's core educational technology stack includes the Personal Learning Device (PLD) Programme using iPads managed through a Device Management Application, the National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) operating under the Find, Think, Apply and Create framework, and recognition as an Apple Distinguished School for the 2024-2027 programme term. Specialist STEM pathways include the ELIXiR+ Science Programme (an enrichment programme for DSA-STEM students featuring programmable Bernina sewing machines, hydroponics equipment, and Science Olympiad preparation), STEMviaDT (a Design Thinking programme referencing National Research Foundation National Innovation Challenges and NTU's Humanity's Grand Challenges), and the makerspace@library for hands-on maker education covering LEGO building, leathercrafting, retro arcade construction, and digital doodling. The school is also the official partner for the inaugural Google AI Accelerator 2025 (June 16-28, 2025) in collaboration with SG Code Campus, IMDA, Google Cloud, and CSI NUS, delivering instruction in Python, AI, and Machine Vision using Google Colab and Vertex AI on anonymised cancer imaging data. The AWS Accelerator Programme extends this into cloud-based Machine/Deep Learning, while the Youth Digital Currency Programme (YDCP) with Temasek Polytechnic adds AI & Data Analytics, Web Development, and Computational Thinking.

Funding flows from MOE Singapore with subsidised fees for citizens and regulated fees for international students, supplemented by MOE Financial Assistance Scheme (FAS) and a School-Based Financial Assistance Scheme (SBFAS). Student recruitment operates through the MOE Direct School Admission (DSA) exercise — including a STEM talent track for admission in 2027 — alongside MOE centralised posting for Secondary 1 enrolment. The school is not a commercial enterprise; it does not generate revenue in the conventional sense, and all programme expansion is funded through MOE allocation and partner-supported programmes. Go-to-market is event-driven and direct-to-consumer: open houses, CCA fairs, DSA selection processes including sports trials, performing arts auditions, and STEM assessments, with the school website (dunmansec.moe.edu.sg) serving as the primary content marketing channel. Co-curricular achievements span 30+ CCA offerings with national-level outcomes in basketball (23 national titles), choir (Gold/Distinction at SYF Choral Competition continuously from 1997 to 2025), NCC Air (21 consecutive Distinction Awards), NPCC (Distinction UOPA 2024), Scouts (Frank Cooper Sands Gold 2024), and Red Cross Youth (Gold EUA since 2020).
