Fro me the main difference is dat Nan Chiau have ALP which is offered to the whole level in yr 1 and 2. Nan Chiau is stronger in Science also so is to the advantage of my kid since she aiming sci stream in JC. Heard from the HOD dat the kids r doing Arduino programming as a project under ALP.


List of schs offering ALP Programme fm MOE:
https://www.moe.gov.sg/docs/default-source/document/education/secondary/applied-learning/list-of-schools-offering-alp.pdf

Also find Nan Chiau more accessible than Chung Cheng Main during rainy days.

Are these 2 ways the fastest ways to get to NCHS fm Sembawang (near MRT) in morning? Any advises are welcome. TIA

Fm Sembawang
1) 117 change 965 along Yishun then change 372 at the stop before Sengkang Int (alight at NCHS side gate)
2) 858 change 965 at Yishun then change 372 at the stop before Sengkang Int (alight at NCHS side gate)

Walking from Sengkang mrt to NCHS is the prefer way, take approximately 5 mins.
The interval for bus 372 is quite long.
If you miss the bus, it may take 10 mins for another one.

I see. Thanks for the route advise Ksptan!

Need advice/opinion about CCHY . Have been to their open house last week but the student there not very impressive . School seems quiet and student without passion . Reached there about 11.30am entire school seems like the open house had end . We hav to goaround the school our own . Is a great diff compare to Yishun town Sec.

Is there anyone give some feedback about this school ? Am struggling between cchy and Yishun town Sec.

Can understand lah. For 25 Nov all schs alrd holidays alrd, so all these kids in all schs are basically called back to promote sch. So the level of enthusiasm really dawn on the amt of love for their sch (good observation there). Those who love the school will be willing to help parents like us to understand the sch better, those who have no feelings towards the school tend to just hope to end job early

But usually for kids the feelings of their alum mater comes only can strongly feel after they graduate (so by rite the best gauge shd be the young graduates if can find 1 is sway liao). So I tend to look at the school discipline and programmes more. (I prefer asking the students personally rather than walking around the booths)
