Nan Hua High School

Haha i hadn’t meant to complain so much.

Well I think speech day was quite boring. We got there at 3 and had to endure boredom until 4.30. We didn’t even rehearse, resulting in us bowing at the wrong time not in synchronization. Plus we had nothing to do the whole time.
I seriously dislike the new principal. She wasn’t very friendly. She practically ignored us when we went to the GO to collect our o level certs.
I think they should cater more food too, haha.

Serafiel:

I just went for my school's speech day.

The new principal sucked. Her english and Chinese were horrible. And I thought Dr Foo's was bad. Well compared to her he's practically an elite.
The prizes sucked. So 7A1s is less important than getting A1 in English and Normal Chinese only? Why did I get a measly $40 while they got $150 for 2 subjects? And somemore they get cash.
NH should raise the bilingual standard to A1 in English and HIGHER CHINESE, or increase prize money for 6A1s.
The food... was eradicated by non-prize recipients. Seriously, NH should do something about not letting the crashers eat. Hey, why should they deserve to eat? They don't HAVE to come watch us get prizes. In the end I didn't get to eat

One seems rather difficult to please. :roll: Thousand and one complaints about every little thing in life and I wonder which Principal can be good enough to be classified as the ideal Principal in one's eyes? :roll:

And if I remember correctly, there are also certain issues with HCI where you are now that you consider as 'stupid' (can't be bothered to waste my time to go and look for the quote). That speaks a lot about the person, not the Ps of the various schools involved. :roll:

AND one seems rather inclined to pick on myself. If you don't like me you can say so outright instead of \"YOUNGSTERS NOWADAYS\" and \"ONE\"
Compared to other school's speech day, you want me to say NH's one is the best?
A good principal might be Dr Hon, I think. Although I don't know him for long, a good principal must be friendly, able to mash with the students, approachable and 从善如流。The current NH one is not friendly okay. IMHO she is not as good as say Dr Foo. Dr Foo is not the \"best\" principal ever because sometimes he intimidates us when he uses 成语, but he IS friendly.
What issues do I have with HCI? Go look and find evidence. I most certainly have not said anything (besides shallow things about canteen food, school uniform etc, which are mostly just normal complaints that I moan only once in a while with my HCI mates).
If you want to attack me, bring forth your evidence and ADDRESS me personally.
ONE MUST THANK ANOTHER SINCERELY AT THE END OF ONE'S POST. :roll:

Hi All,


My girl has been spending so much time practising the dance ... :?: ...
for the youth olympic ...so worry

Mummies,

Izzit so true tat the teachers in NH xxxx....Any feedbacks fm your kids... :?

[Serafiel]

yup, the teachers suck a lot

for example, all they do is give exam papers (from schools like XMSS only) and go through TYS. NO NOTES to save paper. Just reading from tb. we learn the basics but got no idea how to do data based qn, worth 20 marks each at the end of paper 2.
The arts (el, humanities) teachers waste time in class by chit chatting. HW is given but not marked
A lot of time is wasted for lame "enrichment" programmes.

What is your problem? I am so ashamed to be from the same school as you. All you do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN AND COMPLAIN about Nanhua. It was the best time of my life, the values and friends I made there can never be taken away.

I would NEVER choose another school over Nanhua (fyi I was accepted to Methodist Girls’ School). As for the teachers I don't know who taught you but my teachers were the best. Some may have been tough like my history teacher and prone to sarcastic remarks but ultimately when any of us needed help they were always there for us to approach. Particularly during the last few months approaching O levels, I remember all my teachers held extra lessons during the vacation/study period (and we were given the option to attend). They stayed late in school to answer any questions we had, some even gave us their mobile numbers so we could contact them if we had urgent questions.

So to everyone who is reading her comments, please do not think Nanhua is a bad school and that it’ll make your kid miserable. I can honestly say I spend the 4 years of my life there with no regrets (Yes the plaits were ugly but it gave us a sense of identity and we laugh at it now when looking back).

Cheers!

fin89, you r very positive :hugs: deserve a hug huh


hope my DD enjoys her years in NH as much as you

[Serafiel]

fin89 how long was it since you graduated?

Just bc NH was good last time doesnt mean it is good now
NH’s results were better than ever but that doesn’t mean that the environment is good. Sure some schools like NYGH are elitist and rich, but at least they have teachers who can teach.
NH have some good teachers–those who retired already AHAHAHA
I am ashamed to be from NH not bc its not a brand school but bc it’s morality and such is not good. All the teachers do is talk but they don’t do. Like i said, the teachers will only stay back with you if you pester them. They won’t automatically ask you to come.
Of course there are good teachers anywhere but the point is for a school like NH there is not enough.
Come on, how can you trust the words of an alumna over that of a recent graduate? When the worst is over all you can rmb is the good stuff and that is the truth, ladies and gentlemen. Maybe 20 years down the road I’ll think like you, fin89.

After hearing Seraphel’s comment, I don’t rule out some element of truth in her words.


Everything is relative. If you want to know what is good, just make a fair sensible comparison. I remember a thread comparing Crescent Girl’s school with NHHS. For me, for example, CGS will leave a better impression than NHHS. You can see CGS scoring good results in many competitions (even in such like Junior Chemistry Olympiah etc…) but you will seldom see NHHS getting any prize. And the thing is that NHHS has a better intake quality. I am just talking about one or two competitions but over many competitions…I just feel that NHHS didn’t inculcate in their students a strong attitude of wanting to achieve the best results from their potential.
