Compare RGS vs NYGH

[pirated]

whiteyess:

I find NYGH girls a bit more down to earth while RGS still has the 'elite' Rafflesian atmosphere...

There are a lot more rgs girls too very down to earth away from publicity.

To my understanding, NYGH places emphasis on both languages, as the P wants the students to be bilingual, so is not true that the girls are stronger in CL. Infact many girls whose parents are from China prefers English to their Chinese language as these girls have gone thru Singapore primary education. So, for those who still think that NYGH is a ‘Chinese medium’ school, it is not true. Being a SAP school, many good values are taught and of course the girls will learn about Chinese culture too.


I guess school’s location, accessibility, school’s ambience and to some girls, the school’s uniform play a part in school selection. Afterall, this year open house for both school does not clash, so is good to attend the open house and have a good feel of both schools. Anyone has an update of RGS’s new premises completion date?

Read somewhere before. Think 2019 ready.

But that plot of land is still sitting there at Braddell untouched, seems like demolition and construction has not even began.
