      Received a letter from NUSHS last week, telling us about their school achievement and also to remind us to put them as first choice. Strangely, in the same letter there was a form for us to indicate our 2nd language preference and we are to submit this form by 30 Oct 2011. Reason they gave was to facilitate them to make arrangement when the school starts in 2012. The school sure has unique logistical problem not seen in other school??

      They have the resources to cater to minor request/need from any student.
      Heard of story of student who did literature in year 5 and 6, being the only single student in the class for the last 2 years.

        IMHO what RGS did was like a preemptive move against NYGH and NUSH among thier COs.

            That is very nice of NUSH. Most JCs would simply brush students off saying no such subject combination due to timetabling and resource problems. 😄

              I rec’d a call this morning from an ip school to remind me to put them as first choice for the dsa preference application.I appreciated their effort but wondered whether previous years they called to send reminder or this year there is something different.

                Just submitted the form.

                Me , DW and DS1 sit in front of the computer .
                6 pairs of eyes checked thru everything.
                DS2 was trying to distract us in the background.

                But it’s really a very very simple process.

                Printed the acknowledgement and saved soft copy.

                      But NYGH is the one with the higher COP !

                        More choosing RGS and by a huge difference in numbers..... So far she has heard only of 3 or 4 girls opting for NYGH out of the 4 classes of girls....... :skeptical:
