[quote=\"matadorepy\"]Mr Brian Dean Zhi Min is the first President’s Scholar from NUS High School of Mathematics and Science. He will study biological sciences at Harvard University after he finishes his National Service stint.


Brian Dean ,of mixed parentage is also the ex-president of NUSH Student council and on principal lists for a number of years. AS an example of versatility of NUSH student, Brain actually took history as his arts subject in y3/y4.

For a yearly graduated cohort of merely 200 or less, NUSH is getting more well known as one of the leading Science-based IP school in Singapore.

Thanks to Brendan, the students at NUSH get a day off on 20th August as a celebration for the school's excellent results.

To be fair, according to the circular, the holiday is a result of the overall achievements of the NUSH students in the past year and present year. [/quote]Yes, definitely. :celebrate:

Fully agreed. The president Scholarship is icing on the cake. Students like Way Tan, Lim Jeck, Qiu Xin Yi, Wong Fan, Francis etc just to quote a few names have been putting NUS High on the International Olympiads competitions high pedestal for many years already. Just need to see the achievements list to find out.

Have you NUSHers received the results about the 1st round of SJPO? The 2nd round will be held on Aug 25th.


TiA!

Fully agree. :grphug:
I think the achievement list was truncated because the achievements in early years are found within each subject or CCA (on the desktop version)
So depending on which list one looks at, the reader may get an impression that there are no achievements in recent years or in the earlier ones.

Hope everyone enjoyed the DSA preview today! It was a good opportunity for us to share our journey in NUSH with the parents.

Yep, the name card can be obtained from the general office, I think you can also call the school to ask for the company's office number. I took school bus for a year before switching to public transport.

It was not just enjoyable, it was absolutely amazing. Well done. I wasn't expecting to be so impressed. It makes a difficult choice much easier to make now.

To summarise:

If you're a math/science kid: Of course this is the school for you. Many opportunities for research studies, doing modules in NUS which count as credits when you enrol in university, overseas exchanges (more than enough to go around), conferences and of course possible acceleration plus dedicated teachers who are passionate about math and science.

If you're a math/science kid who makes a switch to Humanities: This is still the school for you. We heard from an eloquent Year 6 Lit-major student who is a debater, Model UN organiser and who is already doing Literature modules in NUS. She is pursuing Law after graduation. The VP also spoke of a student getting A+ in Literature modules in NUS, even with a bell curve grading system. The alumni who obtained a first class honours in Law in UCL. The NUSH student who is currently in Poland representing Singapore in the International Geography Olympiad.

If you're well-rounded and service-oriented: Also can. First President's Scholar, winner of National Public Speaking competition.

Such a new school and small cohort yet kids are gaining admissions into highly-competitive schools like Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Yale, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, LSE etc. Remember, these are kids who were the trailblazers, NUSH probably did not have the top top kids when they first started, so this speaks volume of the successful nurturing done by the school.

Something I noticed about students from NUSH is they are very genuine when they speak. They are very comfortable in their own skin, and not trying to speak like a politician or a debater. I enjoyed the sharing by the alumnus very much, the 4th year medical student. She was so natural and confident, yet down to earth and very humorous.

Well done to all students and organisers. And thank you.
