One more qn.
Are student in NUSH encouraged to take up 3rd lang? What are amongst the more popular choice of 3rd lang? Do they go to differentlang centre for centre lang? How much time do they spend each wk in 3rd lang classes? -
Hi Full.Cream,
NUSH has her own French and Japanese teachers. Students are encouraged to take the in-house modules - which is considered an elective module, hence can be counted into the student’s semestral grade (CAP) if the student does well. As it is incorporated into the timetable, there is less issue of timetable clash esp. when students also take elective and enrichment modules.
There is an additional charge of $100 per month, on top of the school fees, when a student takes up in-house 3rd language. I believe students who choose to travel to the MOE language centres (where taking 3rd lang is free) will also need to pay transport fee, so cost-wise it is about the same, hence most students choose to do 3rd lang in-house.
I do not know which is more popular in NUSH.
It is 3 hrs per week for the 3rd lang. -
thanx, mjl!!
good to hear that they have french and japnese inhouse!! $100/mth is rather steep tho!! -

The Humans system of NUSH has changed a lot since my year one days. Now its considered as part of the English curriculum for the year 1 and 2s, then it'll be a subject on its own during year 3 & 4. I'm not too sure about the text though, it should vary year by year -
Thanx, uhoobus!!

You are so lucky, Full.Cream :). Someone just wrote a piece on studying Literature in NUS:
http://nushscollegetalk.blogspot.com/2010/11/studying-literature-in-nus-high-account.html
They are doing Intro to Lit, Reading Narnia, Drama, Animal Farm, The Novel I, Novel II, Modern Poetry, Postcolonialism, Gender Studies. All the details are in the url above. Quite rigorous curriculum, I must say. The best thing is, very few students take Literature in the senior years so you can have all the attention of the teachers (may be like, 1 teacher to a handful of students :)) -
For the third Language option form - should we be submitting it separately, not online?

Hi all
I’ve applied for RI as the 1st choice for my DS thro S1. I’ve also separately applied for NUSH.
Since NUSH results will be published on 15th Dec, if my DS is selected by NUSH, will he also get an offer from S1 posting on 22nd Dec?
