Hi to all, I am a newbie to this forum.
DD is interested to get in NYGH next year. Does anyone know whether DSA via other CCA (i.e. Choir) stands a good chance?
Thanks! -
Hi, I am wondering if there is any moms of sec 3 NYGH girls keen to join my daughter for Language Arts tuition as Aspen Learning Centre in Bugis.
The tuition centre only takes students from the same school for each tuition class. Currently there are mostly RGS girls there but they can start an NYGH group if we can form a group of 4.
More info here : http://www.aspen.com.sg
Please pm me if you are keen. Thanks -
Hi, just wanna ask about parents' opinion.
What factors prompt you to select NYGH say over RGS ?
Is NYGH very strong in Chinese subject?
Thanks for sharing -

NYGH is an SAP school, so there is emphasis on Chinese, Chinese culture, values , (which is what I like about the school.)Is NYGH very strong in Chinese subject?
So naturally if the child absolute hates the subject would find it a tough environment. But I know of girls who need Chinese tuition also goes to NYGH. So I would say more important would be to consider your DD's preference. But I do notice that girls at P6 has the tendency to follow their friends in the choice of school, which may not be to their best interests. -
Take your girl to both the open house of rgs and Nygh. Let her feel for herself which school will be suitable for her. Understand the school culture, environment, curriculum and CCA. She needs to be sure about enjoying 6 years in this school.

I credit NYGH and the Chinese language teachers I had for at least preserving a very basic fluency in Chinese, some 5 years since I last took formal lessons in Sec 4. I was (still am) pretty bad at Chinese but the fact that I had Chinese lessons every day and was in a BSP class effectively forced me to improve.
Is NYGH very strong in Chinese subject?
I think NYGH and RGS are both good schools - it probably comes down to factors like school culture and environment. That said, I will happily vouch for the warm, caring, friendly and nurturing environment I experienced in NYGH. -

Hi, I was a tour guide on the open house day and I answered one parent this question as well. Basically for me, I prefer an emphasis on Chinese culture. This is definitely not the only factor. I prefer NYGH over RGS because of the 4 values it highlights on:勤慎端朴,Diligence, Prudence, Respectability, Simplicity. In this society nowadays, you often see in the newspapers many successful men or women whose future are at risks due to maybe say corruption. This is due to the lack of the any four values as mentioned above.
I fervently believed that NYGH will nurture me to a lady who embodies these four values and would further aid me in future if I were to work in the society in future.
Addiitonally, Everyone wants to get along well with their colleagues in the working society in future. NYGH also emphasizes strongly on teamwork which explains our annual camps, Lifeskills camp (LSC),Outward Bound (OBS) in secondary 1-3.
NYGH is not only a school who tells their students to 死读书 everyday, but to practice many essential Lifeskills and improvement of EQ to further co-operate with different people in the society in future. It focuses on your girls' lifelong happiness and excellence, not just the current academic results.
Indeed I did not think of so much when I came into nanyang, I just thought that I really love the values it emphasizes on and I just came in. And I never regret coming in at all. Indeed, it is a pretty stressful life in NYGH. But which success comes without the efforts? NYGH is a good school in Singapore, so definitely it is slightly more competitive and demanding than many schools. But I believe the working society now is even more competitive and demanding, so the basically just prepares us better for the future!
Reallyyyy longgggg post but I hope everyone gets to understand NYGH better. Anyway I am a Secondary Two student.
Hi Sunnyyyy,
We have the same thinking as you are. My daughter likes NYGH very much. But we heard that for mainstream DSA through academic is very hard.
May I know how you get into NYGH, through DSA (academic or CCA) or PSLE result? If DSA through academic, perhaps can share with us the process like GAT, interview etc.
Thank you very much. -
all IP schools, DSA academic will require consistent 90% overall result from P1 to P6. main focus will be P4 -P6. and that is just beginning, still got GAT & interview etc…
