Just a quick note after DD’s 1st 2 weeks:
1. Orientation was fun. Parent Briefing was detailed & well-organised.
2. Reasonably flexible: students have some flexibility with school shoes, some grooming options, etc. Good for the development of an individual hurtling towards adulthood.
3. Curriculum is very interesting - science & maths are accelerated, but there is sufficient exposure to the humanities, languages, etc. DD is absolutely sure she is in the right place.
4. Great variety of CCA, electives, etc - little competition for enrollment.
5. Although the population of boys is high, she feels that they are OK & not ‘creepy’.
Great to see a student highly motivated by her environment, mentors (teachers), friends, curriculum, etc. -

Glad to know that she enjoyed herself. A word of caution for all newbie parents of NUSH though, do guide your kids in terms of time management, I personally think that is one of the most important skills that Y1 students need to master. Also watch out for signs of computer game addiction, especially the boys. Some kids we know played so much games that their grades suffered.Just a quick note after DD's 1st 2 weeks:

We tend to think that the curriculum at NUSH is 'beyond us' and adopt a hands-off approach. But secondary school is really a big transition for the kids, and during this 'bridging period', it would be helpful if parents guide them along. Not to 'babysit' them like in primary school, but get them to plan a time table or schedule by themselves and follow it.
All the best to the Y1s! -
