Not sure if your girl is still keen on theatre or arts management. Can check out the websites of these institutions:
NUS Theatre Studies - open house should be in March 2016
Lasalle College of the Arts - open house on 15 and 16 Jan 2016
NAFA - no news of open house but likely to be same time as Lasalle's -

Allow me to share what I have heard from others regarding the Poly course (before i continue, please be assure that I am speaking from a neutral viewpoint).
Poly is a good place for kids to grow up learning how to manage their time and strengthening their EQs through relationship management (due to projects after projects). However, if the student does not have a strong convictions of why he/she chooses a poly course, he/she might face difficulties in handling the course, which might lead to failing or feeling upset with their own results. This can lead to motivation issues.
Hence, the students would need to understand why they chose the course (i.e.: don't use poly as an excuse to escape from JC or other options).
The O level results is on a release next week, I wish all success and flying color results

CCA in polytechnics are probably as varied, if not more, as JC offering. They are after all administered as tertiary institutions (similar to the universities) with a lot more autonomy and \"power\" vested in the students. -

Not compulsory to join a CCA in polys. It's still the GPAs (or grade point average) that's more important for uni admissions. But joining a CCA does give a more balanced and holistic edu life. For some students, it gives them a sense of belonging doing something they enjoy with like-minded friends.
