Is there a separate thread for NUSH parents?
Would like to know how most kids commute to school, especially those who live a distance away; or if there is any carpooling. -
@ceeelle do check the forum link https://forum.kiasuparents.com/topic/95132/nus-high-school-of-mathematics-and-science-diploma/
I find it difficult to navigate this site after the recent revamp. Think less activity now as a result.There’s usually some cohort wide WhatsApp or Telegram among the parents after PSLE result release.
Carpool is usually private arrangement - many have found workable solutions for morning rides i.e. among the fathers or mother who take turns. -
@lucid ah thanks! wondering if you have any feedback about the Newton Fun Camp?
Kid had made plans with friends for the day, being the last ever Children’s Day holiday for them.
Wondering if it is actually worth going or if is a waste of time.

Hihi, I read from MOE website that if my child has a confirmed offer or is on a wait list, I will receive the instructions on submitting school preferences through SMS and email from postman.gov.sg. Submission to be done between 21 Oct to 25 Oct. Anyone receives the email?

About 6% of DSA students come from lower-income families; MOE to review scheme: Chan Chun Sing
About 6 per cent of students admitted to secondary schools by direct school admission (DSA) in the last five years received financial assistance, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing, adding that the ministry is reviewing the scheme.
These students are recipients of the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) financial assistance scheme or the independent school bursary, said Mr Chan in Parliament on Oct 15. They have a monthly gross household income of $3,000 or less, or monthly per capita income of $750 or less.
In addition, some DSA students receive school-based financial support, he said.
Mr Chan said that MOE will also be reviewing the DSA scheme with three aspects in mind: ensuring that schools focus on students’ development, the selection process remains objective and transparent, and the scheme continues to be accessible.
He was responding to questions by Mr Sharael Taha (Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC) about the number of lower-income pupils who have secured places in secondary schools via DSA, and whether the scheme has shifted from its intent of identifying students with talents to those who can afford enrichment and preparatory programmes.
Introduced in 2004, DSA provides a pathway for Primary 6 pupils to gain early admission into the secondary school of their choice using non-academic talents such as those in sports and the arts.
Over the years, the scheme has drawn criticism that it advantages wealthier families who can afford private coaching and preparatory classes. The MOE has made several refinements to DSA, such as removing application fees and expanding the intake of students.
