Text Books and Reference Books from NUS High for sale


I have with me Chemistry, Biology and Physics Text and reference books used by students in NUS High students.

These books, when new, are usually about $50 each.
My students' parent like to buy these books to give her daughter whatever support she needs. As you know, NUSH students need a lot of on hand resources, hence he will go and talk to the teachers and buy whatever the teacher says are good reference books.

Just to share - the girl has since graduated with a near perfect score, and is now overseas on a scholarship. I think the books (and my coaching) helps a lot.

The parent has since pass the books to me to sell. (there are more).
You can have it for about $25 each. (if you take all- pricing can be adjusted) You can contact me at 96327168. Collection at Bishan area or Novena.

The boarding fee seems much higher than was told during the talk before y1 enrolling!

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.

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!
