What makes you think that the reason that learning 3rd language at MOELC is free, is because only top 10% can qualify?phtthp\" post_id=\"1982800\" time=\"1593419740\" user_id=\"35251:
That is why, over at MOELC (Bishan), learn 3rd language is free, because only the Top 10% can qualify.
u think above reason provided is wrong, how about you enlighten all of us here instead, since from the way you sound, u already got an answer that is different from mine ?
By the way, at this junction, can I feedback to you that
Your words \" what makes you think\" sounds rude and arrogant,
1) as though u are talking down to me
And
2) want to challenge me or confront me
Fyi
I really disliked the way, u ask me question
In Chinese, there is this
\"Gei ren jia fan gan \"
Meaning
Turn people off
Pls change your tone, the way u ask questions
Because
In a forum, people cannot see your face, people only read your question
Also
If you so arrogant, why should people answer u ?
If you expect people to reply you or answer you, surely u ought to ask politely
You can use words like
\"May I know ... ? \"
This is basic courtesy, basic manners
Also, I presume your son or daughter is studying inside NUS High?
Surely you know that in science, there is this scientific principle -
Action and Re-action, takes place
So if u are arrogant, definitely u know what kind of reaction or response, u will be receiving
Let me ask you a question
Do you dare to confront your boss in the office, this type of question,
\"What makes you think ... ?\"
I bet you don't !
Because
If you ask your boss this way, your boss will retort back
\"Hey, why are you talking to me like that ?\"
========
All of you here, please learn a lesson from this ksp user (macflashpay)
If you want an answer from people, let's say you need to seek help from some people, how should u ask, or approach the person ?
Ask humbly, politely, then people will reply, right ?
If talk down to people, who will bother to reply ? People ask you to get lost!
Alternately,
let me counter-ask you back,
\"What makes u think, that i should reply you?\" -

Students from government/ government-aided/ independent schools do not need to pay fees to attend lessons at the MOELC.
But to study at MOELC:[list]- you have to be ranked in the top 10% of their Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) cohort.
[/list][list]- you must be a Singapore Citizen (SC) or Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR), or the child of a SC/SPR.
[/list][list]- you must have offered a Mother Tongue Language at the PSLE.
[/list]Even if you are a NUS High student, you may not qualify all 3 criteria above to be allowed to study at MOELC.
The foreign languages (French, Japanese, Chinese and Malay) are however offered in house in NUS High as an elective and open to all NUS High students.

When one claims something, it should be backed up with evidence. Else it is hearsay or giving some sweeping statements, and may mislead many readers. I know many parents are trying to be helpful here, but it doesn’t take much time to do some quick verification before posting untruths (though unintended).

Was in a Swiss MNC over a decade.😅 so will attempt from what I know:
Isn’t French a working language in Switzerland too (besides German)? Just curious and kaypoh.[/quote]
Switzerland 🇨🇭 has 4 official languages.
>60% are native Swiss German speakers and around 20% are native Swiss French speakers.
Deutschschweiz is spoken in central, north and east areas ie Zurich , Zug , Lucerne, Gallen, Basel.
The Romandy cantons towards the west are mainly French speaking ie Geneva , Vaud. -

[quote]just found out that
German (language) is not offered, inside NUS High.
NUS High school admin said that they had made arrangement for foreign language Teachers to be sent down, or attached inside NUSH school premises, to teach students either (Japanese or French only).
But no German, also no Spanish. [/quote]Thks for the clarification :salute: :salute: -

Depending on which part of Switzerland you are going. If you are living in Cantons such as Geneva, nechetel (not sure about the spelling) you may take French. If going to Zurich, Bern and Basel, then German. There are two federal Uni—ETH and EPFL.ETH in Zurich and EPFL in Lausanne. Zurich is German speaking and Lausanne is French speaking. We lived in German speaking Basel a few years ago. So we incline on ETH. Both ETH are EPFL are very good schools. Not just the reputation and ranking.

Switzerland also has two or three Italian speaking cantons. Many Swiss can speak four languages. I know one pianist who can speak very fluent English (studying at Yale), German, French, Spanish. level 6 HSK Chinese then some basic Italian....... -
Hi,
My DD is 11 years old and applying to NUS High. She would like to see if any current or recently graduated students would be free to chat with her over zoom? She would like to know more about the school.
Thank you. -
Do you mind just communicating through watsapp if you still have questions you want to ask? I am a current year 6 student but am not comfortable talking over zoom. As an alternative you can just post her questions here

Perhaps your DD can also look for the NUSH Students Council Instagram page and see if she can contact the Council leaders to respond. I am sure the Council would be more than happy to chat. As your DD is about to enter, my suggestion is really to speak to Y1 and Y2 students in the 2020 cohort, rather than those who have already graduated (as the information gap between those new to the school and those who have gone thru 6 years can be quite big).

Thank you.
The Y1s and Y2s would be more than happy to talk and also share with your DD all their experiences in the school. Each and every year, the junior high students will be able to clear all the \"myths\" about the school.
It is a very close knit community, and all of us who have the opportunity to have our kids at NUS High, treasure it.
