GAT test is managed by Principle Academy. Once you register online, you will have to choose the date and timing. According to my dd, it was like IQ test, a lot of patterns, number puzzles etc. Interestingly, NY’s GAT and RGS’ GAT were the same. But it was not really matter, except for the second test, my dd was able to do more, but she didn’t think she had significant advantage anyway. That is perhaps one of beauties og GAT.

Thank you. Can't remember much but, NY has a particular date for the GAT test that you are supposed to go. Dd did not complete paper either and yes, alot of patterns n number puzzles. After getting through, the interview was easy.

just make sure DD don't answer \"stupidly\". Interviews are conducted in a group.
Eg,
Interviewer : what other schools did u apply?
Girl : RGS
Inteviewer: so if shortlisted for both, which one will u choose?
Girl: RGS, cos my Chinese no good....

Hi to all, I am a newbie to this forum.


DD is interested to get in NYGH next year. Does anyone know whether DSA via other CCA (i.e. Choir) stands a good chance?

Thanks!

Hi, I am wondering if there is any moms of sec 3 NYGH girls keen to join my daughter for Language Arts tuition as Aspen Learning Centre in Bugis.


The tuition centre only takes students from the same school for each tuition class. Currently there are mostly RGS girls there but they can start an NYGH group if we can form a group of 4.

More info here : http://www.aspen.com.sg

Please pm me if you are keen. Thanks

NYGH is an SAP school, so there is emphasis on Chinese, Chinese culture, values , (which is what I like about the school.)
So naturally if the child absolute hates the subject would find it a tough environment. But I know of girls who need Chinese tuition also goes to NYGH. So I would say more important would be to consider your DD's preference. But I do notice that girls at P6 has the tendency to follow their friends in the choice of school, which may not be to their best interests.

Take your girl to both the open house of rgs and Nygh. Let her feel for herself which school will be suitable for her. Understand the school culture, environment, curriculum and CCA. She needs to be sure about enjoying 6 years in this school.

I credit NYGH and the Chinese language teachers I had for at least preserving a very basic fluency in Chinese, some 5 years since I last took formal lessons in Sec 4. I was (still am) pretty bad at Chinese but the fact that I had Chinese lessons every day and was in a BSP class effectively forced me to improve.

I think NYGH and RGS are both good schools - it probably comes down to factors like school culture and environment. That said, I will happily vouch for the warm, caring, friendly and nurturing environment I experienced in NYGH.
