Oh wow OMG thanks a lot @MlyC & @Eddisema! I am actually asking on behalf of my junior. :oops: She is actually very interested in getting to both Hwa Chong (tho she scared she can't cope) and NY so dat will be very great news for her. Will update her.


Heard loads of good experiences in NY from a lot of frenz n I really can sense the pleasant atmosphere here alrd. (I shd have worked harder last time )

:thankyou:

Hi!


Any information about NYJC's Robotics and ODAC? Like what they do and also like to hear on whether it will be demanding for the balance in the CCA and sch work.:)

As long don't wash with brand new clothes (esp those dark coloured ones) shd b fine bah. Thats the only thing I can think of coz I nvr encountered any white clothes turning yellow in my home before... :scratchhead:

Sherr:

Morning assembly and flag raising is at 7.20am sharp (btw the sch is very strict at punctuality issues :p). 1st lesson usually starts by 7.50. For yr 1 and yr 2 timetabled lessons end at 1.45pm, yr 3 and yr 4 ends at 2.30pm, except Weds due to weekly assembly. (not sure whtr there is changes to timing as is quite a few yrs back for me )

Time to train my sis not to oversleep liao.

At least start early end early.

Honestly I am quite impressed by the school myself. They are very independent and self-motivated. Chatted with a student at the CCA booth (he is a Sec 2, not holding any leadership position), and what impressed me is his attitude, saying that we won't go far if we expect someone to spoon feed us, we must prove to ourselves that we are capable to do well.


Can sense the students are very warmhearted, some of them even offered to guide us around the campus (they are not appointed councillors, just dat they were off-duty from their CCA booths). Think my sis would have felt the same way too.

Sherr:

I would say its leaning more towards an enrichment for us bah. Is abit like part of the curriculum (u can visualise it like the academic modules in uni (shd b a close resemblance), so Bicultural prog modules are slotted along with the \"core\" modules). So last time our time table had dedicated slots for CI (aka cultural intelligence) lessons such as 中华文化史略...(Not the kind of boring lectures. Is quite project based)

In year 1 and 2 we will go thru most of the stuffs including 品茶, appreciating literary works (my batch got to view 2 Chinese literary works 《小白船》and《马良》), making traditional name stamps...

At yr 3, the programmes will be more personalised (so basically u get to choose the programmes u want to join, as long u meet the reapective requirements of the programmes). The sch would also reach out to us for intern and comp opportunities.

For me I was in sci talent programme so I did NYP research and went for the SAP-Shanghai Science symposium with frenz fm 7 other SAP schs. (There was another sci symposium trip to Kyoto but I chose Shanghai coz get to interact with other SAP sci students).

If not wrong thr is a SAP Bi-cultural Scholarship by Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan that we can apply. If sucessful the scholarship will cover all the costs for any sch immersion trips (think also cover external enrichments, forgot alrd)

I graduated 4 yrs ago so not sure whether the programme had changed haha. U can ask the chers during the openhouse tmr.

:thankyou:

Weirddad:

Edwz:

Heard Nan Chiau High is strong in sciences...


Does the school offer 3 pure sciences along with SAP Bi-cultural Programme?

Yes there is. 2 classes are offering 3 pure sci each yr.

The SAP Bi-cultural Programme is alongside all the subjects throughout the 4 yrs, so techinically it don't interfere with any of the subject combi.

Huh? Meaning is like SAP is is like another academic subject, or like is like enrichment programme laidat?

:thankyou:


Will check out the openhouse with my sis tmrw!

Also in doubt abt Nan Chiau High's Enhanced Arts Programme:


Did some research and found out dat EAP is offered at Sec 3, and MOE state is a complement of AEP, so does dat mean Nan Chiau High technically offer AEP also? :scratchhead:

:thankyou:

Wah now got new service coming up dat connect NCHS directly to airport liao, just outside the sch somemore.

(news just out today fm https://www.facebook.com/WeKeepYourWorldMoving/)

Hello! I ll b accompanying my sibling to Nan Chiau High's open house on Sat. Saw fm the earlier posts dat thr is a new bus from Compassvale Int Sengkang to Airport, and stops rite at Nan Chiau High (side gate i guess?). But still abit blur....
