NatTif Mummy:
Hi NatTif Mummy, Congratulation to your gal! :congrats:Fairy:
Ni NatTif Mummy. Congrats! Is your girl from the GEP? Is her DSA via Academic or CCA? Did NYGH call you or have they updated the web A/C? Did she attend any interview? Which school is she currently at? Is she the 'Top-Of-The Cohort type? Hope you can share with us. Just wish to know the profile of someone NYGH is looking for. Thanks.
Hi! Yes, my gal from GEP, not 'Top-Of-The Cohort' type. I received email from the school and the web already updated the status. She went to the interview last week as she missed by 0.2pts to gain direct admission without interview. She chose the school as she is interested in their Bi-Cultural programme and likes Chinese, some of her seniors are there and I guess quite a no of her sch mates will be there. It's just like an extension of her primary sch, she feels comfortable there. The interviewer commented she shows confident in herself and she did very well in her CCA. Another of her GEP friend went for a 2nd interview, was accepted as well. At first we were thinking of applying via CCA, but she decided not to as she doesn't want to be 'binded' for 4 yrs
May i know, what do you mean by \"she missed by 0.2pts to gain dsa without interview?\" what point is that? GAT test? or ? sorry just want to know more if you don't mind sharing.. Thanks -

Badminton is also a core CCA. I am very happy with the school culture & support given by the school to the students. I also have a sense that it is a well run school administratively. Only real complaint is the frequent traffic congestions along the stretch of Dunearn Road with so many schools packed so close together!

My friend whose son is in another IP sch came over to my house to take a look at my DD1’s work and commented that NYGH teachers really teach and prepare their students with many worksheets and past year exam papers. She said her son’s school was really “teach less and learn more on your own” so she has to engage private tutors as tuition centres may not cater to his son’s IP sch syllabus and her son was getting 50 -60 range of marks in his term 1 and 2.
My DD1 enjoys her Sec 1 life at NYGH and her class is quite closely knit. They really play hard and study hard ! We’re glad that we’ve made the right choice. Her class is quite competitive too. The 1st in her class is 84.7, 2nd : 84.5 and 3rd : 84.0 Although in terms of average marks there’s one girl who got 86 but her MSG is > 1 due to her chinese is A2. Quite a pity.
Btw parents of Sec 1, any lobang to purchase iPad2 apart from the vendors that the sch had recommended during the iPad briefing ? Do you think there’ll be any discount at any IT fair ? TIA. -
Does any parents of nygh girls have experience with Learning Lab or Learning Point English tuition for IP students ?
Which is better and more suitable for IP?
I noticed that on TLL website, the secondary curriculum only for year 1 to year 4, does it mean they do not have anything for year 5 and year 6 ?
Thanks. -

The price for iPad is pretty standard. I don't think you will get any discount, maybe some free gifts if you purchase at some of the IT fairs. DD already has an iPad (the original one, not iPad 2). We were thinking if we should get the iPad 2, but decided to make use of the current one first. Maybe iPad 3 will be out soon, I don't know. We have just upgraded the OS to the latest and have downloaded all the \"free apps\" that are required. Realized that we cannot download one of the apps that require the camera since the old iPad does not have a camera.
