Hi Calypso,


Yes, she did not get any of her first 3 CCA choices. Instead, she got the 4th choice - NCC as everyone had to choose 1 uniform group.

After re-consideration, she decided to accept NCC as her CCA.

Hi fxchow,

Yea, it's great to hear that your daughter has decided to accept NCC as her CCA because it won't help matters if she dislikes her CCA in the first place. Am sure she will settle in well and hope she'll find that NCC may just be as good as her first 3 CCA choices when she graduates from Nan Hua. All the best to her!

Hi,
I am new to this forum. I too wanted my son to be in RV which is very near to our house. Not only avoiding \"O\" level. Now all the top JC are IP. NJC, HCI, RJC etc. That will leave very few selection for our 'O\" level graduates. Since he is in Nan Hua now, I decided to move on, and concentrate on what Nan Hua can provide. I particularly like the Chinese culture appreciation Prog where he get to learn calligragphy, painting and chinese medicine. He is in class 101. So far he is enjoying himself, happy that the school allow handphone. Though complainting tired unlike Pri school half day. He is selected for Symphonic Band and today is the first lesson. By the way, The Parent Support group has organised a welcome tea for parents this Sat.

Hi Whitely,
Glad to hear that your dd is happy settling in NH. Hope all our children would be like what the ex-principal quoted \"开开心心上学来，平平安安回家去\". Children learn best when they are happy right

A DSA student is in class 102 or 101 (can't remember now), so I previously presume that these 2 classes might be with all the DSA students, now looks that I am wrong as I suppose your dd is not admitted DSA.

Hi computerkid, this is your 1st post in KSP, a big welcome to the family (KSP & NHHS).

Yes, many of us also felt the same way initially, however, are now happy seeng kids settling well in NH. DD came back and told me abt 弟子规- this was mentioned in one of the culture talk. I didn't even know what's that! pai seh

hi, glad to see all kids are settled down happily in NH. Usually their passion towards their dream school was very strong during the selection and posting period. After 1 to 2 weeks in the posted school, they would naturally love the environment and friends. However, I also have seen cases of taking a longer period to adapt, mainly because of the type of friends they met and the teachers. Anyway, they would still blend in well.

Hi julongmun, need advise from parents . my kid complainting not enough time for meal. Only half an hour for recess, lunch and between 2.30 to3.00 before their CCA. I dare not ask him to buy things from the bookshop because after queing up, he has no time to eat. Yesterday I was shock that he did not eat at all. Skip meal during recess, told me assembly took up their lunch period. Teacher conducted remedial lesson after school 2.30 to 3.00. After that 3 to 6pm CCA. He came home exhausted, hungry. and need to do homework till 10.30pm until I ask him to sleep.
I am sure the problem is not unique to him. CCA, enrichment, remedial lesson and so on is common to all students. How are your kid coping

hi fxchow,

My DD in 108. She was very happy with the class which she quoted 'the enthusiastic class'. She also felt that the Orientation Camp is 100 times more fun than the P5 camp.

She will take part in ball game as CCA that she has to attend training 3 times a week :shock: sounds 'siong' I hope she can cope mentally and physically. How many days your DD has to stay back in sch for NCC?

Yes, she has many homework each day though some need not be completed by that day as need only to hand in the following week. But I always tell her to complete as much as possible so not to accumulate till those tasks become 'urgent and important'.
