Nan Hua High School

[zannelee]

(1) For t-score 250, if we indicate nanhua as second choice, is there an almost certain probability to get in if first choice rejected?

(2) To add on, if we are given our first choice but change our mind after posting, is there a good chance to appeal to nanhua?
Tsss.

For Nan Hua, nearest bus stop is either on AYE or Commonweanlth Ave West right ?

Which way is nearer to walk in ? and how long does it take to walk to NH ?
And what time does the school start daily ?

Hi, went to visit the school on sat. Checked out the nearest bus stop too. There are 2 nearest bus stop. One of them along church of holy cross with buses like 96, 151, 183. The other one at the aye has bus service 963 ( sorry didn't take note of the rest). Students can walk through some hdb block to reach the bus stop. It takes about 10 min I think but if you need to cross over the bridge then prob add 5 more. It s not sheltered though. The teacher on duty said that a lot of students walk in from clement bus interchange and takes about 15 mins. Hopefully there will be a feeder bus soon as the bto next to it seems completed , however the road looks a bit narrow though. School starts at 7.25am.
You considering this for your ds? I m also having a headache with this. Dd prefer this school because 2 of her friends choose this to and the classrooms are fully air conditioned. I prefer Bpghs due to the distance and that it s a band 1 school as compared to nan hua ( band 2) But nan hua is all express and heard from a friend's daughter that almost thevwhole of sec 3 except for 1 or 2 classes are doing triple science as compared to bpghs with only the best 2 classes doing triple science.( she s from bpghs).
Really can't decide and therefore have not submit the choices yet.
What do you think?

Hi. Can anyone advise me if my girl don't like Chinese, is she advisable for her to go to NH. Will it be too pressure for her ? Is that a must to take HCL. Do the school focus mainly on CHINESE since it is a SAP school?

Thanks

Not really at all. They have Standard Chinese

Unless they use short cut it seems rather far to walk from Clementi interchange.
I feel one advantage of Nan Hua over BPGH is the all express.compared to mixed situation.

I have a child going to NHHS, have some queries, hope to get some help here. Thank you.


1) Are all the books on Sec 1 booklist compulsory to buy? Eg. Atlas (Geography), dictionary, poster colours, etc.

2) Must all students wear school socks, or can wear white socks without school name?

3) Are you/ your child in the tablet PC class? Any benefits or disadvantages?

4) Do you/ your child find the school curriculum very stressful?



:thankyou:

answer to your questions:
1) No it is not compulsory, buy what is required. But the Alas is needed.
2) No, you can buy white socks outside.
3) No, depending on demand, usually 2 classes. I don't see the benefits, the school will give a briefing in DEC. Hear the talk before deciding.
4) No, with the COP of about 243, most kids should be able to cope.

During my time, we were also deciding between BPGHS and NHH. My DS choose NHH because it is fully air-con. all classrooms and school hall. We choose NHH because it is a SAP school. With the chinese environment, hopefully he can do better in HCL. I just want my DS to pass his HCL so as to get the important 2 bonus points for admission to JC and also he need not do chinese in JC, one subject less.

Can any current student of NH give a direction of how to walk to the school from Clementi Interchange/MRT station ?

Is there a short cut near the swimming pool ?
