If your daughter is better at languages, NYGH has a very good bicultural programme. If she loves languages she'll probably thrive in that programme. When you say your daughter is average in class, is she in GEP or mainstream?

Thanks for the reply. My gal is in GEP. After PSLE examination, will have to discussed with her regarding the choice of school.

Hi 2ct. Your dd should do fine in either school as both have accepted her based on academic strength. My consideration for my dd was which school she would be more comfortable in, given her personality and her subject strengths. The decision was very straightforward for us as my dd had a clear idea of which was her preferred school & she clearly suited one school better. Has your dd indicated any preference? Good luck on your decision.

I am also facing the same problem. My GEP dd is very strong in both her languages, weaker in Math & Science. She is bold, out spoken & active.
During the open hse, we find the NYGH gals are shyer, she describes the principal as \"a kind grandmother\" and the Bicultural Programme seems to suit her.
RGS gals are more \"cheerful & vibrant\", seems to suit her character better.
As I understanding RGS has a \"Chinese Special Programme\", anyone know of any student in this programme?

Hi NatTifMummy, which school does your dd prefer? I think I remember you saying that a number of your dd's seniors are at NYGH so she would feel very comfortable there.

Hi Turquoise, at first she wants to go NYGH, then pp starts telling her she should go RGS, cos of her out going character. Even her senior in NYGH told her to go RGS, now she is lost. I have not actually discuss this issue with her as I do not want to add stress on her. Poor thing, she seems so tired today, and is sleeping now.
I have friends whose dd are in either NYGH or RGS, seems that all are happy with where they are. My main concern is to let her go to a school which can stretch her ability to the fullest, that is her strength and interest in languages.

I've heard good things about both schools too. People have also told me that girls who are outspoken, go-getters, competitive and independent learners will do well at RGS. I wonder if RGS and NYGH will hold open houses after PSLE. Might help girls who are undecided to make up their minds.

Same feedback from my friends, their daughters are happy in both schools.Feedback like their daughters like the school activities so much that they rather forgo holidays trip than to miss out on school activities.

All the while I have a preference for NYGH due to shorter travelling time.I have in a way indicated to my gal and it seems to be okay. It is only when we received RGS comfirmation letter that I sense something amiss.When I passed her the letter she did not read it immediately .I asked her why, she said something like \" read or didn`t read, also the same\".At that moment, I realised her choice and told her, the choice is not fixed yet and we will discussed after her PSLE. After our discussion, knowing the pro and con, whatever is her choice will be accepted.

Wishing all parents in the forum the best for their children PSLE.

In talking with a few mums, I’ve learnt that a few of them prefer their girls to go NYGH but the girls themselves prefer RGS. The reasons given by the mums are because NYGH is strongly rooted in tradition and culture, and that the teachers there are more nurturing. 2ct and NatTifMummy, have you heard the same?

What I heard abt NYGH is that the girls are gradually guided to the deep end of the pool over the 4 years while in RGS there are thrown into the deep end of the pool from day 1.

Ah yes, I've heard a similar analogy too. How does your dd find RGS, Dharma?
