Thanks a lot. So you also took chemistry ? Did you get exemption when you join NUS so that you can advance further ? Does the exemption extend for overseas universities ? Thanks again !

I did take chemistry. NUS will generally give exemption, overseas universities generally will not. A lot of US universities can take placement tests to accelerate, so there's that.

Seems the school will continue to be in good hands then.

[quote=\"iRabbit\"]There was a sports event at NUS High this afternoon. Saw the 4 houses competing, but in a relax, stress-free kind of atmosphere. What's that about? Does that kind of activities happen often?


Nice to see the non-academic aspect of the school. The pupils looked like really enjoying themselves.

Today is Sports Heats between the 4 houses : Nobel, Faraday, Fibonacci and Fleming.

I saw some students wearing colored shoes. Are they allowed to wear those during normal school days?[/quote]What is the requirement for the shoe, any color requirement ?

[DearSonR]

The so-called subsidy is actually EESIS, where cut-off PSLE score is different each year and is available to other IS schools as well.


Quantum is S$2,400 p.a. which is automatically offset from the school fees, i.e. you only pay net.

Here is the link for more info on EESIS : http://www.moe.gov.sg/initiatives/edusa ... ips/eesis/

However, NUSHS has its own NUSH Scholarship too on top of EESIS.[/quote]


For the NUSH Scholarship, is there a bond or something like that?

Most students wear track shoes with dull colours such as white, grey, black background, etc but I think it's fine with occasional other colours strips.

I don't think so but only a handful gets it.

Normally, the school will offer to selected students before they join the school.

There is no bond attached to the scholarship, however, it is \"renewable annually based on continual exemplary conduct and good performance academically\".
