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.

Hmm...your \"many\" as in over \"90%\" of Sec 1 cohort? No lah. Don't forget more than 80% of the Sec 1 cohort enter via 264 PSLE cop & affiliations fm NYPS of PSLE 250; DSA about 20%. Thus, It is hard to tell you the percentage but there is reasonable majority proportion spread of Singaporean Chinese. Moreover, most China/Taiwanese can speak English, so there are very Bilingual.

I must admit that NYGH emphasis is on Chinese language, but you will be surprise most of girls communicate in English more among themselves regardless of Singaporean, Malaysian, China or Taiwanese.

The public’s perception of NYPS and NYGH (or maybe it is just my own perception) is that:

It is highly sought after by PRC/Taiwanese parents. Seems like almost all of them want their girls to DSA into NYGH. And similarly, the perception is that the school selects many of such profile kids. So is it true that majority of each class is of such profile?

Regardless of what they prefer to speak in school, or the standard of their English, what’s a hard fact is their mothers are able directly speak and inculcate Chinese culture to them at home, which gives them clear advantage in their level of Mandarin already, over a regular Singaporean Chinese student. Would it be hard for SCs to survive in that kind of “competition”? Eg Chinese compositions will show a clear divide who’s more proficient.

Maybe 60% or More? Even in my DD pri sch, her classmates quite many of them have PRC parents. It is hardly any surprising cos they tend to do very well in PSLE and move on to take scholarships to study in the US or UK.

60% or more of NYGH cohort is from PRC/ TW/ MY... really?
That sounds like a very high % to me.
