[Inquirer]

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.

nearing 7am, the traffic along bukit timah is quite light except slowing down at the entrance of HCI where the left lane will be occupied by cars turning left to HCI and the right lane by cars queuing to U-turn to Dunearn Road. Generally the traffic is not very heavy in the morning.

What are the school hours like for Secondary 1 classes?
8.30am-2.05pm Mon
7.30am-2.30pm Tue - Fri

3. Are the girls using the sec 3 science textbooks in year 1?

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!

Congrats on your dd's excellent results.

NYGH is a SAP school, rich in Chinese culture and traditions where your dd must have the passion and interest.

Not sure about your visit next week, you can call up the school and check.

Cheers.

Not aware of school bus arrangement for the girls.

School bus for sending girls to attend weekly lessons on 3rd Lang at MOELC newton is provided at 50$ per year.
