A thought provoking theorem for (Maths enthusiatic ) on Origami folding
3 Cheers to the NUSH teams !! :celebrate: :celebrate: :celebrate: -
Sorry for the following:

Should be ==> 10+5+11+5=31 (~44%)
This is what we parents hope what our kids can experience and learn (without ‘O’ & ‘A’ levels). This is the result of their hardwork. -

sorry for typo
Oops ! Sorry about that. These students were spurred their juniors to do even better.
Agreed. Without the 'O' and 'A' level to worry about, NUSH is on the right track to challenging and molding the scientific and research mindset in our bright kids !!!

how is student discipline like for the school ?
Just wanted to share a some feedback regarding their open house last Saturday. Personally I felt that overall, it was quite well done. There were quite a number of booths manned by students showing experiments done by students based on the type of subjects such as chemistry, physics, biology etc. There were also scheduled timeslots for talks by the principal and these are all clearly announced over the PA system. There were also school tours conducted by the students themselves and we were shown the various labs and other facilities within the school compound. We were also given 'goodie' bag and DS was all over the school compound collecting 'badges'
Can't tell much about the overall student discipline but just my observation during the school open house - most of them I met were helpful and able to answer my questions appropriately and politely. Most are also very eager and enthusiastic when showcasing their exhibits. My overall experience is good and pleasant. -

My DD is 5th year at NUS High. Totally no discipline problem among all her friends.
As she is staying in hostel for this year, we can see that she is really independent and take charge of her daily routines very well.
Overall, most kids are really focus in their studies and research and have NO time to fool around or create problem.... -

I had a completely different experience last year when I went to the open house. There was no sch tour, the students manning the booth were not really helpful or enthusiatic, the cca booth was the same,the students just stood there, no student approached us to check out their booth. We felt so lost and unwelcome, when we were looking for the sc labs, we asked a student where it was, he just looked at us and pointed left and then walked away, not even a smile from him :roll: In the end, we gave up and left the sch after 40 min of 'don't know where to go, what to do'. I had very good experience at other sch's open house, and I was very impressed with the other schools, I am not the extremely demanding or the 'hard to please' parent.

Oh this year, other than the students who are mending the booth, some booths also got a respective subject teacher standing there to answer to parents and students queries…so …is good la.
