GLORYmum,


There is no retainment or retention (whichever that is) for sec 1s. Apparently, those who got msg of more than 4 didn't do the FAs either. I think they are more for students who had missed the papers for some reasons eg. MC.

Hi rains,
Yeah, heard from my dd there won't be retention in sec 1 but just wondering will school make the kids with msg greater than 4 take FAs in order to meet the promotion criteria.
Thanks.

There's a girl in dd's class who didn't get back her report book on results day. She told friends that she has to take FA. (don't know how true though.. cos she could be just kidding .. not sure) Btw, she didn't miss any of the papers. No one dare to ask her further ...

Thanks for sharing, elkniwt.
Hopefully no one will be retained and the girl will be promoted to Sec 2. :xedfingers:

A very warm good morning to all the parents, students and alumni of Nanyang Girls’ high school.


I am writing a private journal on prestigious schools and what makes these schools stand out. I can’t succeed without first hand inputs from you. I will appreciate if you can share your views / opinions. Here are some specific areas that I am interested in.

1. Why did you (or for your daughters) choose this school? Give me a one-liner please.

2. After their school life is over, what do you believe your daughters will possess more than those girls who did not attend Nanyang Girls’.

3. How is this school ‘academically’ different from other local schools. Do you find any difference in the way the children are taught and accessed from other schools.

I thank you all in advance for your support. I assure that all your inputs will be treated anonymously and will not be directly quoted in my journal. Please make sure your answers are fair and honest. You may send me private message if you prefer. I request you not to use any abbreviations while giving your inputs.

Thanks again.

Hi proudmum,

In sec 1, the girls will take bio physics chem as one subject known as combined science. The order of which subject to start with in the beginning of the year will depend on different class e.g. Some classes start with bio in the beginning of the year when others start with physics.

Cheers.

Hi


Anyone can advise if possible to visit the school and get a feel of the environment somehow during next week before we make our selection?

Somehow we never considered NYGH but 2 days ago I went onto the school website and was impressed. But need more info to compare against RGS and also discuss with my daughter. Anyone keen to share your thoughts? You can PM me - thanks!
