Re 3rd language, what is the difference between taking it in NUSH and MOELC (besides the cost involved)? What is the benefit of taking a 3rd lang as a NUSH student? Will the 3rd lang count towards its CAP, etc.?


As well, do the pupils go in the NUSH uniform on 20 Dec?

Hi!

It certainly is more convinient taking 3rd Language in school, no need to travel to Bishan/Ghim Moh. You can also use it to pull up your CAP, although it rarely ever helps people to pull it up. It will however affect your GPA, which is your semester grade. However, whether your child/ward takes 3rd language in school or elsewhere, he'll certainly need to put in the time and effort into it which might affect his other grades?

I believe no. They should inform you anyway.

On Matriculation Day, they will ask you to put on a collar shirt, if not, they will lend you one to put on so that they can take your photo for your Student Card.

Phase II entry using PSLE T-Score only provide placings for 17 students purely based on T-Score merit. That's is the applicants with the highest score to the last available places. Based on past years statistics, the T-score COP is always exceeding 263.

Your DS may try DSA at year 3 entry to NUSH if he is keen.
