Nan Chiau High School

Thanks for sharing, Vanilla cake. Any idea does Anglican High offers NCL?

Hi wings98,
You are welcome.

I am not sure about Anglican High. I went there for their \"Open house\" when in fact it was actually their \"Sports Open house\" in 2008 when I was a P6 student. The other 3 SAP schools that I had visited were Chung Cheng High School (Main), Nan Hua High and River Valley High in 2008. The student guide in Chung Cheng High School (main) provided quite a lot of useful information. One of which was that not all students over there were required to take HCL. I didn't ask about HCL during the open house visit to Nan Hua High and River Valley High.

Another aspect to take about SAP schools is that selected SAP schools offer http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11218. Next year, I will have 12 BSP students in my Sec 3 class although I am not in BSP.

My younger sister is in a SAP primary school and also not all students are required to take HCL.

Thanks.

As for the COP, it will definitely more than 231+. It won't be a surprise that the COP for 2011 will be 240+. Currently, in North-East area, NCHS is the only band 1 sch, and SAP school.

Based on the results for 2009 GCE \"O\" level exams, only 12 schools attained band 1. It was a remarkable achievement for Nan Chaiu High to improve from band 9 in 2004 to band 1 in 2009 (6 years) and hope that they will continue to produce such stellar results.

With their newly accorded SAP status in 2012, they will become the only school in North-East area to admit students for express course only.Currently the other nearby Sec schools admit Express, NA and NT students:
Hougang area: Bowen Sec, Holy Innocents' High, Hougang Sec, Monfort Sec, Paya Lebar Methodists Girls (Sec), Serangoon Sec, Xinmin Sec, Yuying Sec.

Punggol area: Greendale Sec, Punggol Sec, Edgefield Sec.

Serangoon area: Peicai Sec, Serangoon Garden Sec, St Gabriel's Sec, Zhonghua Sec.

Seng Kang area: CHIJ St. Joseph's convent, Compassvale Sec, North Vista Sec, Pei Hwa Sec, Seng Kang Sec

I think their COP should raise by a few points for 2011 Sec 1 intake and then further more due to inclusive of HCL bonus points for 2012 Sec 1 intake.Their COP should hit close to 240 for 2012 Sec 1 intake and so it is very unlikely that COP for 2011 will be 240+.

Just my 2 cents as Nan Chiau High will definitely be one of the 6 choices for Sec school selection for my younger sister who will be taking PSLE 2011 exams.

I heard that the school fee for Nan Chiau High is $20+.


Why so expensive? Government school only 10+.

$10+ is for primary school, below informaiton extracted from MOE website, the fees is same as those normal secondary school, cos Nan Chiau High is not a Autonomous School. I have been paying $21 for the past 4 years.

Primary School
6 years of compulsory education
No school fees
Standard miscellaneous fees1:$5.50
Second-tier miscellaneous fees2:$5.50

Secondary School
-5 years of education
School fees after subsidy: $5.00
Standard miscellaneous fees1: $8.00
Second-tier miscellaneous fees2: $8.00
Autonomous Schools collect , ranging from $3 to $18 per month, on top of second-tier miscellaneous fees3

Independent Schools charge a separate scale of fees. The range of school fees for local students (excluding miscellaneous fees) as at 2010 is $200- $300 per month

On the ball:

COP 2010 for NCHS is 234.

You mean COP for NCHS this year is 234?

Then my DS with 230 has no hope getting in.

[Itsrainingsweets]
