Anybody please help me with the following details about NUSH:


1. Wat will be the approximate the school ending time for yr 1 and yr2? The first day ends at 5 PM and second day at 9 PM. Will this be continuing everyday?

2. I can see that almost the whole day is spent in the school. Don’t the children feel tired while coming home? Do they have time to do other activities? Do they atleast have time to do their H.W’s/assignments/ projects?

3.Will there be school on saturdays? If so, are they supposed to be early on sat’s also?
Thanks.

Hi,

1. It ends anytime from 1 to 6 and varies for each student depending on his/her choice of modules (and CCA). The first and second day this year is for orientation program, which explains the late dismissal. Timetable of a Year 1 class from this year is below: http://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/n558/ArtumeSG/26e9a928-9b2e-4cb5-91cd-23280b5b9a38_zpse92d2590.png\">

2. I feel that breaks are definitely sufficient. Due to the way that our modular system's timetabling work, breaks occur at different times for different duration for different days.

3. Most students should not need to come to school on Saturdays. One or two CCA (if I remember correctly) have their training sessions on Saturdays, while a tiny fraction of non-core modules may be on Saturday too (only 1 as far as I know). Students may also elect to come back to school on their own accord to finish up group projects.

Thanks for the quick response artume. I can’t see the time duration (below each number) in first row clearly. How long is each period? Can you pls give the starting time (below no 1) and ending time (below no 20) in the timetable?

Ah, first lesson starts at 8am. Last lesson ends at 6pm. Each block is 30 minutes long.

Due to the modular system, lessons do not follow a strict hour by hour system. It does look a lot messier than timetables from other schools.

They are expected to be independent, self-reliant and forward looking (key attributes of DSA phase 2 camp).
