Nanyang Girls' High School [*IP]

Hi,


I know a friend of mine from NYGH was from NYPS and had gotten into NYGH in the year 2014 with exactly 250 including Higher Chinese Language. However, a score of 250 is not confirmed.

If I remember correctly, the chances of getting in would depend on the number of students from NYPS applying to NYGH that year. They would only accept a certain number of students entering through affiliation each year.

Therefore, take for example, they are only accepting 150 students and student A scored 248+2 is ranked 151th among the students, she will not be accepted. However, if student A is ranked 149th among the students, she will be accepted.

Hope this helps!

Hi..

I have extract a post dated PSLE 2014. Any of your NYPS DD with score (247+3, 248+2 or 249+1) managed to get in to NYGH. ?? It was told by Mdm Heng (NYPS ex-principal) that COP 250 is not guaranteed a place. Please help to confirm? Cos parents face the same situation would be worried about the outcome.

Thank you so much!!

[quote=\"pirated\"]Your 248+2 will get you in NYGH if you are from NYPS.

No risk. If not convinced please have a chat with Mdm Heng.

was told last friday 250 is not guaranteed

I know Kuo Chuan, CHIJ Toa Tayoh, St Nicholas and Fairfield and many other affilication schools have no quota set for affilication, the principle of meritocracy will apply. Pupils who qualify for Express & Normal (Academic) will be given priority over other non-affiliated pupils when they choose the affilication as first choice.


All eligible affiliated student( meet the COP and placed as 1st choice) will not denied a place. I believe NYGH works the same. Just to re-confirm that NYPS has announced that this year 2016 PSLE COP to sec 1 in year 2017 is 250 (250 score include Higher Chinese) First choice must be NYGH.

And starting from last year, below COP no appeal is allowed.

Let hope for the best!! Hopefully our DD will see their friends in NYGH next year.

Sorry not sure if I can post it here. I need urgent advise.


NYPS girl PSLE score 248 + 2, get into NYGH? Anyone can confirm? (COP NYPS girl is 250)

Check with the principal that must put it as first choice. Is it true that all NYPS girl 250 and above will get in, and the remaining will be non-NYPS girl?

Thank you very much!

So did your DD manage to get in?

Not all who got 264 wil get in. I have heard one case with 264 failed to get in. Nygh website never show the appeal procedure while rgs website shows detailed instructn on how to submit online appeal. I guess nygh has no more vacancy, so no need to talk abt appeal procedure.

I forgot to ask the school today. Is the third Language results included in the year end GPA (is this the right term to call it?) computation?

What are the implications of taking on the third language?

Anyone from nygh or parents can share how is the culture and environment like? Being a sap school, do they always do stuffs like calligraphy etc?


TIA

The school uses Mean Subject Grade (MSG), not GPA.
It's similar to the O level grading system, whereby A1 = 75 marks and above, = 1 point.
Different subjects carry different weightage though.

Dd did not choose to take up a third language but if i remember correctly, 3rd language will be included in the computation only if it helps to improve the MSG and it will not be computed if it does not improve the MSG. You may want to reconfirm with the school to be sure.

I do not know much about the implications of taking a 3rd language but just want to share something about the subject combination in upper sec.
As you probably know, 3rd language is considered an additional subject.
To manage work load and stress level, students are generally allowed to take only 1 additional subject.
This year, school introduced advanced literature as an optional additional subject for triple science students in 2017. (i.e those who opt for this subject combi will take standard triple science subjects plus advanced literature)
It is not offered to those who are already taking additional subject.
As such, a student may have to make a choice between 3rd language and advanced literature in Sec 3 if she happens to be keen on both subjects and is taking triple sciences.

May I ask:

Advanced literature refers to advanced English Literature? Any pre-requisite / criteria before students can select for this option? For example, results for sec 2 literature must be above 75 marks? Does that mean the triple science student can take 2 humanities subject now - normal and advanced literature? Thanks.
