Nan Hua High School

Yes. ALL classrooms have air-conditioning. 2 aircons in a class. Chairman of each class would be given one aircon control, and you can choose to turn it on or off anytime. However, the aircon would not operate before 8pm, and would off automatically after 2.30pm ( sch dismissal ).

I was told that due to to noise generated from the construction site nearby, the school has air-con rooms to shield off the noise.

Thks, justsay for the helpful information.
Perhaps, it's some form of compensation from the contractors to compensate for the school due to noise pollution.Do you think that the NH students will able to continue to have the privilege of having air-conditioning for all the classrooms after works from construction site nearby have been completed?

the contractors definitely did not compensate the school, no need to do so as they have not broken any law. i think the issue for the school is the recurring aircon bills which can be huge. budget is finite...so they have to cut down some activities/programmes if they r to foot the big aircon bills yearly.

if due to this and academic/enrichment programmes r affected then i would rather send my child to another school with better activities/programmes rather than just to have the aircon comfort.

with the new IPO schools, i think NHH is going to face even more competition.

You may like to contact Shaw Chua of Beng Tat Transport Services at 67908834 . This private bus operator says they will fetch if can meet the numbers.

Thanks.

I have been studying 1 year in NH so far and there were many enrichment programmes organised. We learnt ' di xi gui ' that instil moral values in students and how to appreciate chinese culture such as chinese caligraphy and chinese painting in my sch. all sec 1 students also have to undergo some kind of student leadership programme which is compulsory. Also, NH also organise some events such as Maths and Science week ( if im not wrong ) and major events such as our annual Sports Carnival and Mid Autmn Festival ( which we set up a stall to sell stuff like drinks, tibits )

Academic wise, rest assured as teachers would call for the class to stay back to give them the last push for their exams or tests, or simply just for revision. That is, only provided by hardworking and dedicated teachers ( which you can't really blame NH for that ). Besides, NH teachers would also distribute materials which are made by the respective HOD departments. they would also give out past year's paper for practice

Hence, from the different programmes organised, i dun think NH is cutting down on any programmes.

hi loler12
glad that u r enjoying yourself in nhh n good tt u clarify.
my views r just that of an outsider.
sometimes it is also not the quantity but the quality n impact of the activities n programmes that matters.
but 1 thing for sure, some things have to go in order to foot the extra aircon bills. budget is finite unless school has some form of sponsorship or donations to cover the additional expenses.

I have been told by the teachers that the town council agreed to help the school to pay some amount of the air con bills, hence the school's expenses are lower.

Ties must be worn every Thursday because there is assembly on that day, no need to wear on the first day
But if new sec1s still can't get a tie for some valid reason (maybe ties are out of stock), teachers would probably let it go for the first few weeks.

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.

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.

Then what about me? I graduated in 2010, fyi. And some of my teachers really do volunteer to stay back after school or come back to school on saturday for remedials.

My math teacher would ask the class if anyone wants to meet him for remedials on saturday, and he stays back for night study every day when O levels was nearing, even though he didn't have to, and even though he wasn't exactly in the pink of health. Even when it's the school holidays, he wouldn't mind meeting his students for remedial any day he's available, even if the remedial is held outside school. And he would be glad to receive a phone call late in the night to ask him for help if we're stuck with a question.

And my language or humanities teachers do print extra materials for us. Print. On paper. Yes, sometimes they save paper by squeezing two pages into one, but they do print them out on paper, contrary to what you have said about not receiving notes.

My physics teacher offered to give us (us referring to only 4 students) remedial on saturdays since we are weaker in the subject. She took the time to go back to school just to give 4 students remedial, because we needed the extra help. And when she couldn't make it to school, she didn't cancel the remedial session. She asked if we would mind going to her house for remedial instead. That's how dedicated she was.

As for the enrichment programmes, they must have been arranged for a reason. Why would they waste their time, energy and possibly money to plan something for no particular use or reason?
Some enrichment activities helped me bond with others and made me more outgoing. When I was in primary school, I was so shy, but after joining NH, I have definitely become more outspoken and confident. I don't think it was the studying and lessons in the classroom that transformed me, so what does that leave us with? The CCAs and enrichment programmes.

And then you complain about students being racist. Hello, some of the enrichment programmes included malay dance, indian dance, etc etc. Maybe (I'm not assuming, just stating a possibility) they were arranged to expose us to other cultures, since we are from an SAP school. So what do you want? Racist students? No enrichment programmes? All work and no play? Or are you going to complain if your school didn't arrange enough enrichment programmes for you?

I can proudly say that I'm from Nan Hua, and that I love my school a lot and have never once regretted coming to this school.
I love my school so much that I even bothered replying to this -.-\"

But to anyone who has read Serafiel's comments about NH, please don't just assume that NH is a horrible school.

Of course, if there are students who love the school, there would be students who hate it as well.
And there will always be a mix of good and bad teachers, no matter which school you go to. I don't deny that I find some of my teachers rather slack, but I will never be so ungrateful to the extent of flaming my school on a forum about it.

Through the four years in NH, there has got to be some pleasant memories, or friends who have cared for you, or teachers who tried their very best to improve your grades, whether you've noticed it or not.

Never have I thought of NH as \"hell\", and if you really think it's \"Nine levels of Hell\", then what does that make you? The devil?
