Augmum:

would like to hear more about the students of NYGH. i mean their general behaviour, their peers' relationship, etc.....


heard that quite a number of them are from wealthy families with even chauffeurs fetching them ard. (not sure whether are they referring to NYPS or NYGH).

and also a number of them are from NYPS GEP class. ever heard an incident from a closed friend whose gal was from NYPS. ( this incident really put me off)
his gal was Q' ing up in the canteen buying food behind a gal who was from a GEP class. guess what that gal told my friend's daughter?

\" DON\"T STAND TOO CLOSE TO ME, U'RE NOT FROM GEP\" :x

Yes, it true that some of them are chaffeured around by either their chauffeurs or mum. This is why I was very careful when choosing a sec school for my DD. Don't want her come home comparing their peers' \"high class\" ballet classes, branded belongings or etc.

This GEP girl is really bitc... :x :x (can't imagine what's going to happen when she grows up)

Sad but it's true.

My friend girl oso overhead one GEP RGS girl asking a girl, YOU DONT LOOK SMART, WHAT IS YOUR SCORE IN PSLE AND HOW U GET IN HERE.....

Glad to hear this info. Today, I had a discussion with my daughter and we have decided for her to go to NYGH.

Hi 2ct. Great to hear that you and your daughter have come to a decision (without resorting to tossing a coin ) What was the deciding factor?

NatTifMummy, have you come to a decision yet? Option forms are coming in next week.

Hi Turquoise

Firstly I guess my dd PLSE score will be in the range of 255-265.Based on the feedbacks on this thread and my friend who has 2 daughters in NYGH those pupils in this range fared reasonably well in NYGH.

Next is my daughter \"weakness\" in Math. Seems that GEP has not help her in this area but make it worse.Before GEP, she can get distinction in ICAS but since GEP, it is just credit.In fact she just drifted in GEP math which I supposed benefit those who are really good in the subject. I would prefer more \"guidance\"(instead of throwing into the water method on the very first day)for her as in secondary school, math will become increasingly important.

Currently my daughter is in a primary school which is not listed in the top 10 primary school in edupoll. The main reason we selected the school is the proximity.But in the school my daughter was given my opportunities.

I believe my dd will be able to fit well in NYGH as her current primary school share \"similar tradition\".

Most importantly is my dd personal characteristic. She do things slowly & in a relax manner, diverting to other things and then continue.She is not focus and time is an important factor. With NYGH she will save on travelling time. As in secondary school she is expected to stay longer and also handle more subject, I believe NYGH suit her better due to her slow and relax way of studying as shorter travelling time will allow her more time to do her stuff.

My daughter CCA will most likely be string ensemble.I can`t imagine her carryiing both her school bag and her full size violin standing long period in a crowded bus after a \"hard day\" at school.With NYGH, shorter travelling time and more buses for travelling.

Basically these are the reasons influencing our decision. As my daughter tell me she is okay with both school, the decison is easier.But if she is really determine for RGS, I will go along with her.Her main reason for RGS is because of friends, but as experience has shown, pupils will start to make new friends pretty soon. After our discussion she decides for NYGH but I told her, she still have her option open, till we indicate the school selection from 26-30 Oct.

Yes, it true that some of them are chaffeured around by either their chauffeurs or mum. This is why I was very careful when choosing a sec school for my DD. Don't want her come home comparing their peers' \"high class\" ballet classes, branded belongings or etc.

Sad but it's true.

agree, don't wanna them to come home comparing this and that with their peers. now my gal already overheard all these in primary school, not to mention the sec school.

I have also heard of GEP boy in my kid's school discriminate non-GEP students by not Q'ing for his food and said,\" GEP student has priority...\" :x

his gal was Q' ing up in the canteen buying food behind a gal who was from a GEP class. guess what that gal told my friend's daughter?

\" DON\"T STAND TOO CLOSE TO ME, U'RE NOT FROM GEP\" :x

Don't blame GEP. It is how the kid is being brought up. She can also say \"you are not rich\" or something similar.

Agreed. My gal in NYPS GEP, before she started school there, I told her if anyone snob at her, that person is no friend of hers. Always to remember even she is a GEP, she is not suppose to act proud. Thes 3 yrs, she made lots of good friends from both main stream and GEP classes, from rich or humble background, from lower pri to P6.
I have also come across some very wealthy parents but humble and pleasant. I think they bring their kids up with the right values. One of the mum welcome all her dds' friends with opening arms, all the kids will go to her hse near the sch before CCA for lunch & study there. Something I truely appreciate, eapecially for a working mum like me.
