[quote=\"Pattyhong\"]hi,every sister and brother, I would like to enquiry for CCA, regarding for the Shooting , where is the lesson conduct ? inside the school or somewhere outside of the school like other schools?

thank you

Hi Pattyhong,

I may not be in Shooting, but I understand that there is a shooting range in the carpark of the school. CCA sessions would be held in there.

[/quote]No problem! Just glad I could help!!

My DD just entered NYGH in 2016. She’s enjoying lessons so far. Actually NYGH isn’t as Chinese-centred as we thought it was, some speeches and assemblys are still conducted in Chinese, but other than that, lessons are equally spaced out.

I give my gal a weekly allowance between $20 to $25. This is easier for her to manage. I also pack snack for her short breaks. I don't think it is compulsory for them to buy a fruit for every meal. Heard that the canteen food is more expensive than previous year. You can take a look at the stall price during your visit there like during PTM, funfair, seminar.

Hi all,


Could I ask a few qns :

- My DD is in P2 now and I am thinking of getting her to do CCA at P3. What CCA in NYPS should I choose for better chances to get into NYGH via DSA?

- How do they test you for entry to Sec 1? Do they also test on your CCA ability + GAT + interview?

- What if DD fails the GAT/interviews??? Does it means no entry to NYGH?

- What is the average minimum score + CCA (points?) to get into NYGS?

Hope anyone can share some information as I am totally clueless…

Hi,

1) You should allow your daughter to choose what she would want as a CCA as her passion towards CCA will be important or your daughter will be dreading CCA all the time for the next few years. But CCAs that are available in NYGH are all available via DSA http://www.nygh.edu.sg/cos/o.x?c=/wbn/pagetree&func=view&rid=1095346. CCAs that will have a higher chance of accepting would be the sports CCAs, but those are really competitive and your daughter needs to be really good at it and have a strong interest or passion. The Clubs and Societies also accepts DSA students, but she must be one of the top few in national level. As for Performing Arts, I am unsure of whether meany have DSA through this category of CCAs available.

2) I may not have DSA into NYGH, but I have had friends who had gone for the DSA trials and it, was the 'CCA ability' then a group interview. As for DSA through academics, you would have to do GAT, before proceeding to the interview.

3) It would mean that she have to get into NYGH via her PSLE T-Score, and considered that her DSA has unfortunately failed.

4) I am unsure of what you mean by \"average minimum score\". If you mean the PSLE T-Score, it would be 250 for NYPS affiliation. As for CCA points, I am unsure of.

Hope this helps! My apologies if it doesn't.

Hi,

As I am not one to do assessment books, I feel that with the amount of work from school, with the frequent tests and quizzes, as well as projects, not to mention the upcoming CCAs allocation and starting, there may not be enough time for her to do assessment books on a daily basis. What I would recommend, would be to revise concepts that the teacher has taught in class regularly in case of any surprise tests or quizzes, or if free she could get a little head start by reading up. Newspaper reading and magazine reading is recommended to improve her knowledge on current affairs. But is a must, I feel that the lower secondary science exercise books would do better as not all concepts are taught yet and she may or may not be able to complete the O'level exercise books as certain concepts are only taught in the upper sec.

Hope this helps!!^ My apologies if they are not helpful at all!

Good advice, zinx_silver!
