My child has a CO from both RI and NUS High. He has a keen interest in Computing other than Math and Science. He wants to go to NUS high. We were ok with his choice, as ultimately he is the one going through the rigours of the curriculum. With news now out that there is going to be a new principal, I want to know, if this changes anything - in terms of how the school will be led in future.

The teachers in Computing are very capable and conscientious. They have been there before the tenure of the current principal.

There has been no changes except that it became a compulsory subject instead of an elective.

Students taking part in Computing Olympiads go to NUS School of Computing for training. NUS SOC also offers undergrad modules for NUS High students. It is just a couple of bus stops away.

ks2010: Appreciate you taking time out to write. I was not aware of these pointers as well as the contributions of Dr Hang. It is reassuring.

Thanks 😊

Just out of curiosity, any idea where current Principal will be posted to?

[ks2010]

It is advantageous for parents as the principal’s office is just across the vehicular pickup point.


Whilst waiting for DC, managed to have some informal chats with the principals when I saw him/her using the pedestrian crossing to go to the main building.

Early retirement then...

Dear all,


I just heard from a friend and double check it at MOE website… apparently, there is no more triple science combination in ‘A’ Level, because of the Uni admission requirements…

Grades for the following subjects will be considered for admission: 3 H2 and 1 H1 content-based subjects (at least one of which must be from a contrasting discipline), GP (or KI), PW. Students who score well may also have their MTL grades taken into consideration for admission.

Therefore, it seems like only NUSH could take all Maths and Sciences. For ‘A’ level, need to take at least one subject from Maths and Science, and at least one subject from Humanities.

may I ask about coping with HCL in NUS high? Since the school is not focused in chinese, are there students taking HCL and if they are able to cope for without tuition, esp when they have no time for tuition anyway?


Thanks in advance!

I understand more than half of the Chinese cohort are taking HCL.
It is possible to switch to normal CL if one cannot cope after 1 or 2 years.
The students at NUSH are not so concerned about MT subject because they can choose not to include it in their diploma grade points.
Yet I think most of them are doing generally well in MT.
My DS had HCL tuition once a week.

Thank you for the info!

Can I assume that the students are not required to take the O level Chinese or is that still required ?
