Hi, just wanna ask about parents' opinion.


What factors prompt you to select NYGH say over RGS ?

Is NYGH very strong in Chinese subject?

Thanks for sharing

Hi, I'm a sec 1 Nanyang Girl and I would say that the main reason I chose NYGH instead of RGS is how NYGH nurtures us, be it academically or in general, as a person.

I've only spent half a year here in Nanyang and i can already safely comment that the teachers, principal, whatsoever have really gone an extra mile to cultivate good habits and important values in us. They emphasise so much on this that we have special curriculum time put aside, eg. PCCG, CCT and Sec 1 assembly. The teachers will talk to us about different topics, such as responsibility, entitlement etc for the year heads. For our form teachers, they go through with us stuff such as career guidance (appreciating the effort our parents put in their work to bring us up). We also have a period CCE, basically your civics education lesson where a teacher comes in and talks to us about morals, like 弟子规, filial piety etc. for the holidays i was asked to help out with the house chores(haha) so I think that they are trying to instil responsibility and filial piety in us.

As for academics, another main concern for many parents, Nanyang won't leave you in the lurch, regardless of what type of student you are and how you have been doing in class. You may come to this school via affiliation, DSA, appeal or PSLE score, but whatever it is, our teachers are always willing to fork out their own free time to help you. Just approach them for help, and they'll revise the key concepts with you until you understand. They won't treat you differently just because your PSLE aggregate is lower than that if your peers or anything, unlike in some other prestigious schools. In a nutshell, teachers here are approachable, dedicated, nurturing and :grphug:
(As for stressfulness, you have to manage your time wisely. The teachers give us very reasonable deadlines I never fail to meet. And you can't expect 0 stress from a good school right? Our teachers stretch us, but not till we break)

About the Chinese here. I speak English at home, never read a single book till I came here, but still I'm doing good with my Chinese... So far. My Chinese teacher finds ways to engage us in her funnnnn lessons and meanwhile get us 100% prepared for tests, exams and graded assignments. I won't say Chinese here is impossible, but neither is it easy as cake. Enough to make you work a little harder, not enough to make you cry.

So yeah, the main reason I chose NYGH over any other school is the way the teachers are generally more nurturing

P.S. Some may think that being a top school, the students here are snobbish but no, I have come across many seniors and fellow sec 1s and none of them actually come off as stuck up.
