We stay at the bayshore road .....it takes me 1hr 30 mins to reach nus high school by public bus ......the prospect of spending 3 hrs traveling daily in discomforting .

May be we will have to rent a place near nus high .......can anyone suggest an alternative means of transport which takes lesser traveling time .

I stay in Tampines. It takes me about 80 minutes to get to school.

It is indeed discomforting... I often say to my friends that I hate coming to school every morning, and hate going back home in the afternoon, because the trip is so long. But I get used to it after a while. Nowadays I usually take those time as nap time to supplement my sleep.

You can also apply to get your DC to stay in the school hostel early, before year 5. I thought of that too, but it's a bit expensive without the year 5 subsidy (700+/mth) and I'm already used to travelling, so in the end I still chose to travel everyday.

Thanks a lot Artume ,an insight from a student who has been their and done that is valuable

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] :congrats: NUSH! So good to celebrate your achievements with the students with a day off! :salute:

Sorry I lost you there...what is lppl? :?

[Artume]

I think lppl means http://www.talkingcock.com/html/lexec.php?op=LexLink&lexicon=lexicon&keyword=LUM%20PAH%20PAH%20LAN.


Teachers will try to avoid make ups if they can... but one of my modules have a test already postponed twice for different reasons, it's going to get postponed again.

Not that I mind

I knew the acronym for the Hokkien phrase but just did not expect him to use it here... maybe he has another meaning? Hmmm... :?

I believe your teachers would try to find a way around the problem if makeups can be avoided. Anyway, you kids are so bright, missing a lesson or two should not be a major issue.

I didn't know about it, I had to google to find out what he meant.

I asked one of my teacher about it and apparently he didn't know about the date before the announcement either. They should've picked Monday so we get extended weekend... with Tuesday being eLearning and all.

My child spend 45minutes on bus in the morning and about 60 to 75 minutes home in afternoon or evening. He simply used that to unwind. In any case if he gets to NUS in the future, he would be quite familiar with travel and routine.

Hi Artume, nice to know you were there yesterday. I saw quite a number of year 2 in the formal wear. Frankly I like the fact that the students looked happy and comfortable.
