DSA 2011

[mom-of-2 0]

Like Gleemom, my daughter is also in Sec 1 NYGH this year (Hi Gleemom, we talked on this forum last year if you remember....)


Like what Gleemom has shared, I have no regrets about choosing NYGH. My girl came in via CCA DSA and my husband and I found that NYGH provides fantastic support to this bunch of girls. They keep a close eye on them to make sure they are on par with the rest and if any is found to be falling behind, a remedial is organized for them.

We are glad to have our daughter in NYGH, the support system has been excellent !

I haven't heard of Mdm Heng before this and now that we have met her , I find her a truly outstanding and charismatic principal.
I have also met the RGS principal during the Open House talk. She is, no doubt, also very capable but strikes me as a very business like lady with none of Mdm Heng's warmth and personality. I just feel more comfortable leaving my DD in Mdm Heng's hands.

hi-five....that was my exact sentiments 2 yrs ago
when i met the P of RGS during the tea -session with the P
yes.......no doubt she looks confident and capable but gave me a very business-like nature.....
(heard that she was fr harvard uni but not an ex-rgs)
and the whole talk seemed to me .......
over-emphasized of \"we being the best\" ...and \"we are the excellent\" kinda of feel.......
uneasy and uncomfortable with such feel....

whether it is over generalisation or not.....
but if u were to hear the same, similar old stories of what u had already heard…..
especially if some were from the mouths of parents of R girls…..
wouldn't it warrants a much deeper thought to it and to find out more.....

There is a separate thread on RGS vs NYGH in this forum. I am an ex-RGS/RJC mummy. DD went for both RGS & NYGH open house last year. DH & DD didn't like the RGS talk (too much emphasis on excellence but little to no emphasis on character dev & values). I was more partial to Rafflesian heritage of course. Anyway DD eventually didn't apply for RGS & is very happy now in NYGH. I have met the principal during the interview. Mdm Heng is direct, firm, very balanced in her views & comments, yet warm & puts both DD & I at ease. What I like in particular is she didn't put down other schools, but let the facts speak for themselves. DD has been in NYGH for almost a year. Absolutely no regrets ...and that's coming from a true-blue Rafflesian.....

hi-five to u too, gleemom......
we shared the same sentiments of how we felt abt the talk....

LangMum:

Does any one knows if there will be any briefing by RI and HCI for those offered CO and WL?

I remember HCI conducted a symposium on life in HCI towards the end of Oct last year. As for RI, I only remember attending something on choosing CCAs after school has started.
