      Last yr, I have a choice of both RGS and NYGH, but i chose neither of them .... πŸ˜‰

      actually, wanna to pick NYGH but the road journey would be too long to bear for 6 yrs (including that of HCI)
      imagine 1 day 4 trips to and fro fetching gal,
      if take 22 days a month, 1 mth will be 88 trips, πŸ™
      not to mention the usual road jam there.....and now the flood there.....

              I must say that at least MOE has done something good to keep DHS in the East to spread the schools around......imagine for a few years DHS was at Ghim Moh....occupying the old RJC premises

                  fortunately, DHS moved back just on time for my gal's selection

                      true

                      but a choice has to be made before reaching the certificate

                        This was a long time ago. A friend went to Hwa Chong JC during her first 3 months (before O' level result was out), but she hated the \"culture\" there. Not sure why especially when she comes from Chinese speaking family background.


                        Ultimately, it depends on the kid who may prefer or suit one \"culture\" to another.

                        Where your friends are going may also be a deciding factor.
                        Ha ha, I remembered many moons ago when I was choosing between Hwa Chong JC and RJC, I went to both open houses, and I just didn't like the RJC \"culture\"... couldn't say the reason why oso .... just the vibes, maybe? I came from a reasonably good sec sch (but not the top ones) and only a handful (like ~ 10) went to either one, so I didn't have a major friends-factor to take into consideration either... well... that's part of life...
