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

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.

Thanks Artume

Briefing for parents are on the 6th Jan.
Are parents supposed to attend the orientation finale on 3th Jan?[/quote]Like you said the parents briefing is only on the 6th Jan. The 3rd Jan orientation finale is still strictly a \"students\" affair though most parents would love to be involved.

wonder mom:

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.

Timetable is out. You can check your daughter's class timetable.
Note Saturdays are usually for math olympiad electives (need dept approval)
