First off, to clarify the situation, I'm a Year 2 student in NUS High School. I joined this cos i was googling for nus high to see what i could find and thought some of you could use some info about the school.

Hi, Holyaxile. Thanks for sharing.

Whenever I see NUSH students, I notice that many of them tend to wear the polo t-shirt for their tops. Seldom see them wearing that shirt leh. Just my personal observation.... :lol:

Everyday, they wear shorts and polo T shirts for school and classes. Except on mondays when they have to be in formal for assembly. Formal for the boys means long pants and tie. For girls it is the picture shown with tie.

Oic, thanks for clarifying. So lucky for them, and so comfy to wear shorts and polo t-shirt instead of the normal shirt as my son is always complaining that his school shirt makes him hot and sweaty.

For DSA, I'm not quite sure about the criteria but 2 years ago, the PSLE entry requirements was an A* in math and science and at least 250 aggregate score. In NUS High, we start biology, physics and chemistry from Year 1. The other subjects are mostly the same. It's pretty manageable, not much stress. Compared to my peers in other good schools like RI, my school life is very slack. Hope that helped. Willing to answer more questions.

EDIT: To provide some more general info, I got 272 for my PSLE. I was in the GEP in HPPS. And I didn't do much extra studying. Sorry if it makes you go :x but hey, it's the truth.

:welcome:, holyaxile. Just wondering what your nick means? It's good to have a student here so we clueless parents considering nush would have more info to base our decisions on.

It doesn't make me :x that you don't study much. Some people are fortunate to be born so very intelligent.

That's why I always doubt it when people say success is 1% talent and 99% hardwork. To me it's 30% intelligence and 70% hardwork. It tends to be true that if you're intelligent, you don't need to put it so many hours study, study and study.

Go thank yr parents for yr good genes. :lol:
See ya around!

EXTRA is the keyword here.

> It's good to have a student here so we clueless parents ....

I think none of the KiasuParents.com members is clueless. At least you found Kiasuparents.com right?

Aiya merlion..Why pick on every word I type? A lot of parents admitted being clueless that's why they signed up here.

[Merlion]

Ai Yo mathsparks .. I was just kidding about the whole clueless thing. I am not picking on anything. You are taking it too seriously. Sorry if this makes you feel uncomfortable. Cheers. :celebrate:

[mathsparks]

I'm not uncomfortable, merlion, that's why I added the word aiya. you notice the smiley at the end? means cheers... no apologies needed. have a great long weekend!
