      [quote=\"walterp\"]My DD graduated in the last year 2016 batch.


      IMO 2017 ( 6 reps - 3 from NUSH (1G, 1S (almost G) , 1B) 3 from RI (1 G, 1B, 1HM)
      ICHO 2017 ( 4 reps - 2 from NUSH (2 G), 1 form RI (S), 1 from HCI (S)
      IPHO 2017 ( 5 rep - 2 from NUSH (2 G), 3 from RI (3 G)
      IBO 2017 in progress (4 reps - 2 girls from NUSH, 2 boy from RI

      So parents who wish their DC to join NUSH need to know what their children expectation and what they are in for the next 6 years of their academic development.

      Singapore team taking part in IOI 2017 in Tehran this week :
      2 from NUSH, 2 from RI

      DC usually goes to bed around 10.30pm for first few years, don't seem to bring back much homework :?

      But students will be warned for late submissions and parents called to attend PTM if the children are falling behind in their subjects.

      IOI live update of results for Day 1 : http://scoreboard.ioi2017.org/Ranking.html. This afternoon is Day 2.[/quote]Just an update on the just concluded International Biology Olympiad (IBO 2017 held in UK), Singapore team led by 2 NUSH girl and 2 RI boy.

      Results - Ajiti (Gold) from NUSH Y6 among World top 3 positions (individual standing) which include USA and China,
      2 Gold from RI boys and another Silver by NUSH representative.

      :congrats: to NUSH 2017 Cohort - the best and the most outstanding Olympiad in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology performance in its 12 years short history

          No, NUSH from day 1 started with triple Science + Foundation Maths + (now Computing studies) on top of regular English, Chinese +Humanities subject. There's is no streaming ..it's foundation year for all subject in Y1/Y2 and advanced in y3/y4. It is a well-known fact that Y1/Y2 covered \"O\" level standard while y3/y4 curriculum would covered A Level \"H2\" standard. The specialisation year triple Honours Science+ Calculus Mathematics are well-above the JC level \"H2\". For most Physics, Chemistry and Bio with \"H3\" level accreditation.

          Y5 (JC-level) is the year where specialization in majors or honours class in Triple science+ Maths (major) or Honours. Some student prefer to have one major in Arts (econ, Hist, Geo) or Music. Top % of student are allowed to have major in 4 Honours including Maths plus triple Scince or Computing studies. Y5 student must also start their Advanced Research Project (ARP) which is on one of the graduating requirement by Y6 convocation.

          Refer to website for details on the curriculum on the foundation, Advanced and Specialisation year. Some high performing students are even encouraged to take acceleration in Maths, Chemistry or Physics at junor level. At Y5/Y6 some NUSH student are taking NUS modules in maths, physics, chemistry.

          Hope that help to answer your queries. Even for the average student, NUSH Science + Maths curriculum far exceed the normal high school standard.

            Referring to page 17 (NUS High Maths syllabus) -
            noticed that in Yr (1 & 2) :
            they didn't break down into (E Maths & A Maths syllabus), which normal O level Secondary schools usually do.
            means cover both Maths ?

            May we know if Further Maths, is covered in Yr (3 & 4) ?
            Thanks.

              Has anyone received email from NUSH regarding CO or WL?

              It has been a long wait.

                    The Preview session is on 12th Aug, so CO/WL status will be updated before that.
                    Mostly likely by end of this week.

                    All the best !!

                      Ya, they normally release results on Fridays. So, it should be tomorrow, and then if you are on CO/WL, u will receive an invitation card in your letterbox to attend the welcome tea session, which is happening on 12th August.
