[quote=\"HELPLESSmother\"]HI to all kiasu parents, my elder child is in a Dilemma whether to choose CRESCENT GIRLS' or NAN HUA HIGH SCHOOL as she is given the opportunity to choose either of these schools. However,in order for my DD to enter Crescent, we have to take up uniform group as one of the CCA. [heard that uniform groups are very tiring].Hence,We would really appreciate it if any parent has children in either of these schools and is willing to call us to clear our doubts via 96271176. Thank you very much!

Crescent seems to be good experiecne so far. They have tablet PC programs/ e-books , so if your child is compter savvy, IT career is definitly on Cards. There will be breifing this Saturday !

My DD is anyway opting for 'Uniform Groups' as it help in deducting 2 points . She doesn't have HMT , so must collect 2 deduction point to enter good JC.

I thought that all CCAs can help to deduct 2 points?[/quote]Not cca, but leaps. UG help in both participation leaps AND leadership because or promo parade

MEP has started last year only.... so i don't know, if you will get a reply. Otherwise school is fair to eveyone... You will have homogenous batch with COP of 240 to 255 & everyone will get two years to prove their strength before SEc2 streaming.

It has Tablet PC program which i guess supports e- learning . With plenty of exercises on the school website, weaker students can download & practice until become perfect... this is advantage for 'Un-maths' students.... no so much for students lagging in Languages.But there are good teachers for English & Literature which will benefit students.

All in all , great infrasturucture with good teachings... very disciplined school... You cannot be late & there are demerit points for breaking rules.

My DD got-in last year with COP of 240 & this year result has maintained( just got final year result) . Keeping fingers crossed , she does well in Sec2 & o-levels

Thanks[/quote]It is far from our home... take MRT & then Bus 111 from orchard... we live in north.

In morning , you are allowed to drive thro' rear door from red hill mrt side road. Also small gate at the back of school is opened for students arriving from Red hill MRT & taking a walk across.

I guess irrespective of distance , school get picked by some of the top 15 % of cohert at PSLE.
