Hi,


Are they supposed to wear their own clothes for the preview session ?

Thanks!

The email mentioned casual and neat, so I suppose we can wear our own clothes and if it is still the same as previous years, the kids will be asked to change their \"top\" into the school formal wear with tie for photo taking (for making student pass).

.

The tentative photo taking is at around 22 Dec Matriculation day. By then your child will need to wear Nush school uniform.

I think I mixed up DSA School Preview with Matriculation Day. Photo taking is done on Matriculation Day instead of DSA School Preview. :oops:

There is no distinction needed in NUSH for MS vs GEP. Those who are selected are all, in the school’s eyes, gifted in Math and/or Science.


At an olympiad finals, my GEPper met a MSer from a neighbourhood school who impressed him so much with his knowledge of electrical circuits and the two of them bonded over geektalk. My kid thought the MSer was smarter than any of his schoolmates and even himself. This MSer may not have been selected for GEP but this doesnt make him any less gifted than kids in GEP or any less brilliant than the 270/280 PSLE scorers. This is where NUSH’s selection process comes in, to spot such bright sparks.

NUSH is like what they have in the US, a gifted/talented school for the math-science inclined. Just because someone was not selected for GEP in P3 does not mean he is not gifted (GEP does not test science, and language holds weight in that test). So MSers need to have more self-belief. This is a school that believes it can develop the child it selects.

The plans ahead: do schedule in your holiday plans around 22 December.


Your child will meet their respective mentor (form teacher) and class mates on Matriculation Day.

Also, Do bring cash and your spouse to help carry the books :evil:
