My DD considering NH or Crescent Girl, very difficult and trouble now. Went to both sch open house. Find that pupils can speak/introduce better in Crescent Girl. My DD soft spoken, so tot CG may be able to expose her more in communication skills. any tots would be appreciated. :?:

From what I know, Crescent Girls' School has a very high english standard, and they can speak well. Maybe your daughter should consider Crescent to be more outspoken?

Ya,I understand too. So that is also why I want to get all those who opt for this school to get together and get common driver or transport to the school. But there seems to be no reply..... :heartbroken:

Any parents whose kids opt to go to either of the school? Please write to me!!! Thanks !!!

[/quote]Crescent Girls' School has a school bus service, you'll most likely see a booth during orientation (Not so sure about orientation) offering school bus service. Just check with them

My DD t score 244. As we stay in the west, so considering Nan Hua High and Crescent Girl as the 1st choice. Can someone compare and share yr tots as to which is better? we r very trouble as the 1st choice is very important cos believe she get get into any of these 2 schools as they COP is 243 and 242. Pls help

I had this problem choosing between the two schools last year too; they have their own merits and achievements, but in the end I chose Crescent Girls' School. This was because Crescent Girls' School has a consecutive number of years achieving Band 1 in their O'levels Result, while Nan Hua is not so consecutive, and achieved Band 3 last year, in the S1 Posting book. it depends what subject your child is better at. If she speaks Chinese at home and is better at it, then you may want to choose Crescent Girls' School, to improve her English. But if she is very good at English already, then you may want to post her to Nan Hua to improve her Chinese. For my case, 1st choice was Crescent Girls', while 2nd was Nanhua high. While the Band 1 status is very important, you may want to seek your daughter's opinion too. Let her choose which school she likes between this two, and who knows, she may be loads happier that way! If she can't make up her mind, you might want to discuss it with her, look through both school's information and choose the one that is better in her opinion.

Crescent Girls' is more of an English school, the teachers have consultations etc, and the school has a very notable alumnus and I've not regretted the choice. However, Nanhua high's not bad too, so you might want to consider carefully, using the above tips! Look through what CCA your daughter might want to go to too in each of the schools, and what awards each school achieved too.

I stay in the West too, actually! in my opinion, Crescent seems far but is not that far, just need to take mrt from boon lay/ pioneer and to Redhill. Not that sure of Nanhua though, but I heard that you must stop at Clementi and walk for some time.

All depends on your daughter's choice (and her reasons for that choice), so listen to her thoughts, and voila!, the problem is solved! Well, I wrote a great deal, but I still hope that it can be a help to you! Good luck!
