Nan Chiau High School

Sherr:

Morning assembly and flag raising is at 7.20am sharp (btw the sch is very strict at punctuality issues :p). 1st lesson usually starts by 7.50. For yr 1 and yr 2 timetabled lessons end at 1.45pm, yr 3 and yr 4 ends at 2.30pm, except Weds due to weekly assembly. (not sure whtr there is changes to timing as is quite a few yrs back for me )

Still the same.
Weds assembly ends at 245pm.
Year 3 & 4, Mon & Fri lesson end earlier at 145pm.
For upper sec, be prepare to stay back for extra lessons and weaker students for small class remedies lesson.

Last time there used to be trials to start half an hour later on certain days, but alot of us rejected the idea because it simply means that we end later and lesser time to rest and revise at home. Also starting late don't really help to make the day better, commuting later means we are squeezing with all the morning crowd at arn 7+.


Dats also y many of us tend to commute and come sch early and den use the morning time to prepare ourselves in sch bef morning assembly. In the mornings we would usually sit at the quadrangle or in the canteen discussing work and chatting with classmates (and sometimes those kanchiong ppl would just challenge each other to do finish the tutorials for the whole wk bef sch starts ), those were good memories for me

Well that is a good practice to be early for lessons. Looks like u and ur peers enjoyed ur schooldays in nch, thanks for sharing

Hi, my son is concidering Nan Chiau.


Could anyone kindly list down the pros and cons of the school?

Thanks!!!

The main pros (which most of my friends envy) is the flexible subjects combination.
NCHS offers a wide range of subjects for upper sec, based on students sec 2 result and interest.

Mostly NYJC, a few aiming for VJC, ACJC, AJC.
Most SAP schools students are aiming for NYJC. Not sure why???

At least Nan Chiau don't require Triple Sci to go with Double Humanities (they only nid combined humanities for triple sci). In Nan Hua last time we don't really have an option to take just combined humanities (Nan Hua just want to push for better results ).

During sec 4, if a students cant cope with pure science, they are allowed to convert to Combined Science. At least their result will be gd enough to apply for popular poly courses.

Whereas , Nan hua does not have such flexibility. Reason I heard is Nan hua wants to push all the students to JC.

Not every students is aiming or suitable for JC.

For my batch I was one of the 20 plus ppl in HCJC. Last time NJ was popular, now is NYJC...

Possibly becz for NYJC their subject combi is really very open, other than MOE guidelines basically no restrictions on the subjects. Their former principal Mr Kwek relaxed the rules quite a lot. Heard quite lots of good stuffs abt this former principal...

Just a word of advise if anyone nids this don't take CLEP in NYJC if ur HCL not really A1/A2 in sch den can liao (cfm suffer. :imdrowning: coz those ppl in HCI are very strong in Chinese) . O Level HCL A1 isn't a good gauge of Chinese proficiency for CLEP.

Actually for some of us combined sci is one of the ways to secure a place in those top few JCs, esp if we really cant get A1s for the pure sciences. (Coz L1R5 is the one dat matters)


Just nid to make sure dat the sci subj dat u nid to take H2 (perhaps for ur career) still remains as pure sci. For sci stream can just take H1 for the sci subj dat u combined at o lvls once u get thru into the JC.
