Hi all, I'm new to this forum.. I'm a very laid back mum.. I'm sure many of your kids here are trying to enrol your kids to NUSH.. can share any particular reasons?


My son was offered a place in NUSH during the 1st wk of Jan this yr.. but he's undecided to accept the sch.. cos its pretty far from our home..

I know NUSH curriculum is diff from the mainstream sec sch.. is it true that the kids can get exempted from 1st yr of uni since its a direct 6 yrs diploma? what other benefits are there in NUSH compared to normal sec sch?

TIA mummies..

Hello! Welcome to the forum.

For my batch, students do not get exemption just because they graduated from NUSH. Selected students can opt to take NUS modules while they are studying in NUSH, and the NUS modules that they have taken can be counted towards their degree if they choose to go to NUS in the future.

NUSH is entirely science stream, with the curriculum accelerated in the math and sciences while not neglecting the other subjects. For a student who is already into science, I think NUSH allow the best to better achieve their potential as they are unshackled from the need to prepare for the national examinations.

You can also look at previous posts for inputs from other parents and students.

Distance is a concern, but most people I know that stays far (I stay in Tampines) got used to it pretty quickly. There's always school bus as an option.

May I know what is the reporting time for school?


A bit kiasu to ask now :oops: but I am quite concerned about the distance DS has to travel.

I had to spend 80 minutes to travel one way to and from school. It might be hard the first few days (and the first few days after any holiday), but those who stay in the east get used to it pretty quickly.

[quote=\"leooel\"]In the report last year, there is an \"affirmation of character excellence report\", which said that DS \"was awarded Affirmation of Character excellence forms\". What is the meaning? THX!

It's the blue merit form that teachers can give out.

Why did the mentor write such words？ There were no such remarks before.[/quote]It's automatic for every merit form received.

My son was invited to participate in the Research Congress on 24 Feb. May I know what's this event about and who is the target audience? Thanks.

Research Congress is an annual poster presentation for NUS High's research projects done in the past year.

It is mainly for the students to present to their judges, and also to students from other years and other schools. This also allows the students to get practise for SSEF.

I think it's good to visit to see how research will be like in later years.

Hi,


I can't seems to find MA1231/MA1331/PC1331/CM1331 in the link that was sent by school yesterday? (http://www.nushigh.edu.sg/academic-curr ... ol-diploma)

Am I missing something?

They might be new modules this year, and the link only contains 2015 modules.

[quote=\"Miracle Child\"]Are there lockers in NUS High? Never noticed any when I was there. Are students to carry their belongings with them when they leave the classroom everytime ie not like in Pri school where students leave their bags in the classroom all the time? Thanks in advance.

Lockers are generally outside the classroom. Most people just leave their belongings in the class, though some may keep valuables in lockers.

One locker per student or need to share?[/quote]I *think* there's enough for 1 per student.

are students suppose to bring a book for silent reading before flag raising in the morning?

There's no such arrangement. It's generally free time before flag raisings.

Is the timetable under announcements on the right side of the eSpace?
