Dunman High School participated in the Singapore Round and Global Round of the World Scholar's Cup held on 21 and 22 April 2012 (for Singapore Round) and from 22 June to 24 June 2012 in Bangkok, Thailand (for Global Round) with a group of 28 students.

The World Scholars' Cup is an international multi-disciplinary academic competition with more than 1000 students and 300 teams participating from more than 20 countries. The 2012 edition focused on the subjects of Art, Current Affairs, Literature, Music, Science and Special Area (Modern Metropolis), and the skills of debate and collaborative essay writing.

The purpose of participating in this competition is to provide a national and international platform for DHS students to pit their intellectual and communicative strengths against top secondary schools from around the world as well as to provide opportunities for cross-cultural interactions and exchanges between scholars from different nations, enabling DHS students to build valuable social connections.

The 28 students who represented Dunman High School (for both Singapore Round and Global Round unless stated otherwise) are:
