Is Nan Chiau a good school?

[Girl Gen]

Hi,


My daughter’s aggregate is 24+ and got in Nan Chiau High which is not her 1st choice. Very confused now as do not know whether I should appeal for her 1st choice or should stay in Nan Chiau? Is Nan Chiau a good school? Can pls enlighten me. Thank you.

With her 24+, what was her first choice? If it is close to the COP then no harm trying to appeal.

You should have an idea of what the 2nd choice Sch is before putting it as your 2nd choice. Anyway, after this morning reporting to NCHS, what your view of the Sch?

DD graduated from nan chiau last year. I must say she enjoyed her 4 years there. She went in with a 234 and is currently a student at mj. The teachers at nc are very caring, caring for their psychological needs on top of their academics. Even after she graduated, the teachers are still very concerned for her. DD is a girl that lacks self confidence and was very afraid of exams. Teachers there encouraged her and put in as lot of time and effort to coach and reassure her. The teachers never gave up on her even till the very last minute, even burning up their weekends at staying until about 8:30pm every night to accompany them as they study in school.
