I can't understand why some parents keep mentioning of \"a more holistic education\" as though NUSH is kind of weird school. How \"unholistic\" can it be after all it is a gahment-funded school under MOE. Like what DVL has said NUSH has the same humanities and the Arts/Music aspects to it. In fact, the MAD (music & art dept) and the Lingusitics dept have added advantage of direct NUS resources n support.

The Maths n Science programme in the normal 'IP\" school still can not be compare to NUSH programme after all it is still limited by the \"A\" level syllabus requirements. In this year SSEF, NUSH won ( has 70 projects in the final) 10 of the 17 gold medals (not too sure how many silvers and merit awards) but was told almost 50% of awards go to NUSH. I forsee that in time to come all those bright Maths n Science students will choose NUSH route as the preferred option it has flexibility and cater to the kids needs directly. The sky is the limit and it is up to the kids. They are not to be bounded by examination syllabus.

Well Said :goodpost:

Big Congrats to all the gals who got their COs from RGS (& NYGS?)!!! :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah: & to their parents too...whose necks can be back to normal length again

I feel sad hearing that we are adopting FT from such a young age knowing that many are merely using Singapore as a stepping stone. In fact today's Sunday Times interviewed a boy studying in local school (father award winning newscaster or something) who said US is better for making money. 20% of enrolment -- combining RI, HCI and NUSH year 1 enrolment, 20% means 150 spaces given to foreigners ?

Long Ago (and I Mean >30 years Back) .... in a Land Called Singa-pura ....
PSC has issued scholarships to students from the ASEAN countries to study in the Local Pre-U .... and Even Sec 1 ....

These Kids Stays here on their own in the then Nanyang U hostels, all by themselves, far away from home ....
The Only company they have R Like-situation youngsters ....
And They Could be as young as 12 year old ....
And there R No \"Pei-Du-Mama\" in those days -hor ....

And their Parents R .... Not any Award Winners, Nor Rich Folks ....

So the Practice of Allocating spaces in Sec Sch, JC, or Even Uni ....
to Foreign Students has long been practiced ....
So one Just have to Work Hard to Win it, Right?

[quote=\"ngbrdad\"]According to my DS, two of his group mates didn't turn up for the NUSH camp. He said the name sounds foreign. So maybe foreign applicant who decided not to continue their applications.

Just felt it was such a waste. Not sure whether they paid up for the camp or not.

Just cusious what do the boys do during the camp? tough? Like RI/RGS test, which is out of the world questions?

Any interview after the camp? or this is the last round?

5 sections, one to write English compo. one experiments each on Physics, Chemistry and Biology. and one math section.
More like testing their observation, co operativeness etc. Not really testing on depth of knowledge of the subject.

This is already part 2, so should be last round.
But heard may have interview for borderline cases.[/quote]huh?...there's no math section for my son's grp leh :scratchhead:

UncleLim:

My son found the science material at the dsa camp difficult. He is not a science person and was looking for maths related quizes etc. He said at one stage he saw the assessor mark almost everyone in his group Zero. He seemed quite discouraged and thought maybe he is not cut out for the school anymore....

My boy mentioned tt Physics experiment is tough...he enjoyed Bio & esp Chemistry experiment. Do not be discouraged as we never know how they assess the candidates & who knows....your son is one of the few without zero in his grp? So...cheer up & all the best in the coming prelim & PSLE...ganbatte! :rahrah:
