Hi anyone received phone call or email from NYGH? Thanks a lot.

Hi! I called them this morning & the staff mentioned that they are still in the process of shortlisting & interviewing the students. All these will end by 5th Aug. For NYGH case, no news maybe good news cos if students are exemplary in all areas, they would not be called for interview at all but given a CO straightaway...watever the case, we still hv to check our email, on-line status & snail mail regularly...& wait & wait & wait till neck loooong loooong also no choice...

The thing with NYGH is no phone call may be good news or bad news because it could mean 1) a straight CO without an interview nor GAT, or 2) it could mean that you haven't been shortlisted for an interview because you didn't perform well for GAT. Just have to be patient and keep your fingers crossed.

OK Just Update on ALL the Kids who wish to DSA thru Chinese Dance to NYGH on the Audition ....


They Allow the Gals to Do a 10 min Warm Up, Then
1) Call up by Names to line up - up to 11 gals per Group,
2) Ask About the Standard, Grades the Gals Currently R in,
3) Requested the Gals to Perform a Series of Splits, Stretches, Bridge, etc to test them on Flexibilities
4) Then a Senior will lead the Gals in a New Dance Sequence, (with demonstration twice), and then the Gals R asked to Repeat the Dance Sequence themselves - to test them on How fast n Accurate they Catch and Follow
5) Finally it's an Individual Audition, which is a ONE-Minute Self Selected Dance Piece

ALL the Gals Were then Advised by the Dance Coach to study Hard for their PSLE, regardless of successful CO or Not ....

The Head Coach later spoke to the Parents ....
Apparently the FINAL Decision of CO Being Offered Does Not Rests on her ....
Quoted Examples from Last DSA where 10 Gals were recommended, and the 2 Being Offered CO R in Fact not from the Top 8 ....
Coz The Final Decision relies on the Performance of the Gals in ....
1) Sch Results
2) GAT Tests
3) Interviews

I am Personally Very Glad that the Sch is Being So Upfront with the Criteria, Past Data Sharing by the Coach ....
Her Final Advice - Study Well and Obtain Good Grades in PSLE, and NYGH's Chinese Dance Team will Welcome Our Gals With Open Arms!
:celebrate: :celebrate:
