Yeah, thanks all for the comments.
We have told DS on all scenario and let him have the ownership of this.
We want him to be happy in the next 6 years and will support whatever decision he make.
He told the Daddy to log on and submit for him last night (coz daddy is busy) and told me he will tell me his final decision tonight and I can submit my portion thereafter . -
For Supplementary Intake

If as parents, we are over protective and worried all the possibilities of failure (looking for a sure win path) before the kids even try it, in my opinion, we are just teaching our kids a very wrong value ... that is to run away from problems/challenges. What we should do is to lay out what we see in a logical way, and the potential pros and cons, and let our kids know that it is not easy but if they work hard and persevere they can do it, and we will continue to support and cheer for them. ... there is no best decision, there is only how to work hard and persevere to make the best out of every decision we make.

This is the same issue for PSLE ... we are like telling the child that they are not good if they don't get 250, ignoring the part of their effort (and the fact that they could be just lobed sided). Actually this is the part that I like about NUSH, at least for the first three years ... getting an A is not the most important thing (B & C are ok too). Encouraging them to try and explore. Hopefully, by Y3 they will find something that they will put in all their efforts on and enjoy ... therefore, naturally, they will do well from Y4 to 6 (which is what matter and include in their cert).
Whereas, in normal secondary school, the subject selection for Sec3/4 are usually depending on your overall score in Sec 2, and the subject selection in J1 is dependence on your Sec 4/O level result. The child could like triple science but if they don't get like around 6 pts in \"O\" level or equivalent, it is unlikely they could even choose triple science. So their choices are limited heavily on Sec 2 and Sec 4 overall results. You may think they have more choices in normal secondary school, but the fact is that if they don't do well overall, it is the same thing. That's why even today, there are still people who thinks that those studying Arts in University more likely due to poor results rather than because they really like Arts. -

Yes, totally agree! It's us parents who are confusing the child and it's time to let them be independent.

The teachers in Computing are very capable and conscientious. They have been there before the tenure of the current principal.seekinginfo\" post_id=\"1942166\" time=\"1571481286\" user_id=\"180080:
My child has a CO from both RI and NUS High. He has a keen interest in Computing other than Math and Science. He wants to go to NUS high. We were ok with his choice, as ultimately he is the one going through the rigours of the curriculum. With news now out that there is going to be a new principal, I want to know, if this changes anything - in terms of how the school will be led in future.
There has been no changes except that it became a compulsory subject instead of an elective.
Students taking part in Computing Olympiads go to NUS School of Computing for training. NUS SOC also offers undergrad modules for NUS High students. It is just a couple of bus stops away.
ks2010: Appreciate you taking time out to write. I was not aware of these pointers as well as the contributions of Dr Hang. It is reassuring.
Thanks 😊 -
Just out of curiosity, any idea where current Principal will be posted to?

It is advantageous for parents as the principal’s office is just across the vehicular pickup point.
Whilst waiting for DC, managed to have some informal chats with the principals when I saw him/her using the pedestrian crossing to go to the main building. -
