Hmm....I think Compo standard is quite reasonable, like 命题作文。 Comprehension seems to set higher, more on inference skills. The school's marking is strict too.

Hi. My daughter is Sec 2 in NYGH. We are Americans. My daughter did not take HCL in Primary school. She was in the Core Level in P5/P6 at Henry Park. NYGH does realise that there are students who did not take HCL in primary school and made an effort to help with a free extra class every Monday at 7-8am. My daughter attended most of these classes and found them very helpful.


In addition there is always extra help during normal school. HCL is hard at NYGH. We have home tuition twice a week for a total of 4 hours. During holidays, we supplement with extra tuition for vocabulary and proverb (Cheng Yu). My daughter generally gets A1, A2, B3. Pass mark for Mother Tongue is 50%. They make sure she passes every year, though we are definitely borderline as we do not speak Chinese at home. If she were in a regular Express or even IP school, taking normal MT, she would most definitely be getting an A1 now. So, grades aside, Nanyang has definitely improved my daughter’s Chinese immensely. She now speaks quite fluently and not shy about chatting at all. So don’t worry. We’re Americans and even we managed.

Hi parents,


According to the school’s latest calender on portal, it stated 26 Oct 18 is the last day of school; 17 Nov 18 T4 school holiday starts. Any parents know if all the while, school release students early, that means officially 29 Oct onwards no need to go school, till next year Jan 2019??

Hope parents here can confirm. Tysm!

So far, it seems to be. Last year, the last day of school was 27 Oct 2017.

Wow'! Cool! That means officially no school & can go holiday earlier to avoid the school holiday season. Thanks for confirming!

But I think you have to check with your dd whether there is any CCA or special school prog that she might be involved or signup.
