Yes we will be going. There's a school tour at 430pm. Dd is my 2nd one in secondary and I feel it's still important to stay connected with the school and and child.

Hi gleemom,

which class is your daughter in ? I PMed you.

Does anyone know how they group the classes ? Do they have something like ispaks (HCI) ? Heard the last 3 or 4 classes are "gifted" classes. The booklist is the same for all students; so wonder what’s the difference other than the class size?


My DD1 had a great time this week - she commented that the girls are all very "high" and really enjoying themselves. They’ve got the angels and mortals game where the senior class (sec 2) would "adopt" one girl in Sec 1 (same class number) and they will correspond with "secret" notes. Hope she’ll continue to enjoy her school life at NYGH.

there is difference in class size? My DD is in 101 because she is in AEP, her class is 30 students, I thought all the classes are same.

Hi,


Can someone help with the intake of NYGH this year and last year?

Better still if you can tell me how many get in through affiliation.

if not wrong it is 450 per year

those with affiliation must have minimum 250 and above

can ask Mdm Heng at the open house what is the number from affiliation but it will be anybody's guess in any year

as a guide, NYPS' cohort is about 480. assume half are boys, and girls will be 240

each year (in the past) about +/- 45% of the cohort got 250 or higher in PSLE, so it is about 45% x 240 = 108 who may end up in NYGH, but many also choose RGS, some may go to NUSH or DHS....so those who got in NYGH through affiliation \"discount\" could be way lesser than 108 as many of them also score above the COP of 263 or 262

Hi


I think there are about 420 Sec 1 students this yr. I counted about 90 something (less than 95 if I counted correctly) students from Nanyang Primary from the list pasted on the board on 23 Dec but of couse I dunno how many got in via affliation. There are also about 40 something girls from RGPS (2nd largest group joining NYGH).

Some classes eg. 113 has 26 students. Some classes have 33 students.

90 or 95, is quite close to my estimate of way less than 108

from my DS class in NYPS, 3 girls went to RGS, the rest - all - went to NYGH, one of them scored 271+3

aikidocat:

1) Would like to find out more about the subjects that one has to take in year 1 and year 2 and year 3 and year 4 in Nanyang Girls.

2) What are the examinable subjects and non examinable subjects in year 1 & 2?
3) What are the compulsory examinable subjects to be taken in year 3 & 4?
4) Are all students allowed to take triple science or is triple science only for top students while the rest must take only one or two pure science only?
5) Is it exams by semester like in RGS or is there a major end of year exams with weekly tests like other secondary schools?
6) Is it very competitive & difficult to get into dance as CCA?

Hope to obtain sonme advice on the above.

I'm from NYGH myself so I hope to be able to tell you parents on how is it like to study in NY It has been a really wonderful experience for me!

1)\tWould like to find out more about the subjects that one has to take in year 1 and year 2 and year 3 and year 4 in Nanyang Girls.

In year 1 and 2, the subjects are LA (English and lit), Chinese, Maths, Combined Humanities (Geog and Hist), Physics, Chem and Bio (one science per term)

In years 3 and 4, it depends on what subject combination your child opts for. LA, Chinese, Maths, Integrated Humanities and at least 2 sciences are compulsory. (It is either triple science, or chem/bio or physics/chem. If your child takes 2 sciences, then she will have to take either lit, Chinese lit, geog or history)

2) What are the examinable subjects and non examinable subjects in year 1 & 2?

They are Home economics, P.E., Music, Chinese Dance and Art

3) What are the compulsory examinable subjects to be taken in year 3 & 4?

Integrated Humanities, LA, Chinese, Maths, and the subject combination of your choice. (and 3rd language, if your child chooses to study)

4) Are all students allowed to take triple science or is triple science only for top students while the rest must take only one or two pure science only?

The benchmark is at least a B for all 3 sciences in Secondary 2, but overall, for my batch, half the level is in a triple science class. Nanyang tries its best to give your child her desired subject combination.

5) Is it exams by semester like in RGS or is there a major end of year exams with weekly tests like other secondary schools?

There are quizzes almost every week (mostly around 10 marks per quiz) and the scores will be attributed to the final CA or SA marks. However, there are only 3 major exams in the entire year.

6) Is it very competitive & difficult to get into dance as CCA?

I am not very sure about this but I heard that it is. This is because Nanyang has a very high standard in dance (Gold with honours for SYF)
