julongmum:

during the principal speech on open house, he mentioned must be 2 plaits. I couldn't have mistaken as also seeing all the long hair girls with 2 plaits le. Maybe should reconfirm again on the orientation day. Btw, are parents allow in the sch with their children on the orientation day ie 23 Dec. How long is the event? Are we suppose to get the new uniform and text books there on the same day?

Yes, buy uniform and text books on the same day. Report 8.30am, starts at 9am and ends 12 noon. Website says bring around $350.

May I know where do you stay ? We are staying in Woodlands and have known at least 3 are going Nan Hua. Maybe we can talk to some bus operator if can gather more staying around same area.

Hi justsay, me also stay woodlands, son taking PSLE next yr. I estimate he'd be around 240 to 250 range so now researching for potential sec schs based on this assumption.

So far i've been eyeing schs such as : catholic high, BPGH, anderson, swiss cottage, xinmin, yishun town. Never tot of Nan Hua since it's so far.

Could you share the the reason you choose nan hua over other nearer schs ?

And may I know what your other top choices are ?

Thank in advance !

Hi jocondo,
Sorry for the late reply as we are travelling still in London at the moment.
Staying up North has in fact limits our children in their choices.

We were like you, Nan Hua has never come across our mind during the shortlisting process. Even when someone suggested to us and we thought it is so far until we went to the open house. Our choices initially were RV, Bukit Panjang, St Nic, Anderson.
All of us who went to Anderson do not like it ( as mentioned in other thread, it is our personal preference and opinion).
My daughter prefer mix school so not for Cedar, Crescent and St nic. Anyway these schools are very far too and not applicable to your choice.

We left with RV, NHH and BPGH.

We choice RV as 1st choice as it is what she wanted all along. Her predicted aggregate was above 255 but she has gotten only 249 plus 2 for HMT. Last year's COP for RV was 254.

BPGH has well behaved students, niche in Science (my girl is stronger in Maths and Science), band 1 O level results and it's nearer.

NHH has also well behaved students. My husband was very impressed with the Sec 1 girls who brought us around during the open house. I was impressed by the graduates who went back to school and spoke to us. Well mannered and well presented. As I said, I would be happy if my daughter can behave like them in years to come (though she is well behaved now) . Environment truly can affect them in their growing years.
NHH has achieved excellent O level results, all express students, no NA and NT. SAP school and autonomous.
Though their COP was 243 last year, not to forget that they have 11 classes of express students, which means 480 students. Should they have only 5 or 6 express classes like most of the other schools, the COP will definitely be much higher. So in a way it may not be correct to conclude that NHH has lower COP than BPGH. Take for example St Nic, since they have affliation, they take in only very few classes of non affliation students. Should they take in 11 classes, do you think the COP can maintain at 249 ? There are many factors to consider, comparing schools based on COP on the surface is not sufficient.
The have also nice enviroment, bright and breezy. Full aircon classrooms and hall. They are niche in performing arts which my girl wanted to continue dance as her CCA.
They have also tablet PC program.

I must agree that it is far but daddy likes the school very much too so he'll send princess to school (office nearby) and mummy to fetch her. The easiest way to go there by public transport is by taking MRT to Jurong East and then take bus 97 or 197.

I am not sure about Xinmin but I heard it is good. Find out more about Yishun Town. In my opinion, the COP went up from 220+ to 237 just bcos they have announced to be autonomous. There is no track record in their O levels banding though it is the nearest school to Woodlands with COP close to 240.

Wish you and your son all the best!

Jurong to Clementi is considered very near compared to woodlands. At least school bus one way also good for us. Otherwise daddy will need to send every morning.
I think it shouldn't be a problem to get in. This year's aggregate is generally low.

Hi Kiasu Parents, my DD is considering Crescent Girls' and Nan Hua High School. If she gets into any of the school,I was just wondering if there are any of your kids who are also considering these 2 schools, and are currently staying in Woodlands. :? Thank You.

Woodlands is very far from Crescent Girls School.

Woodlands is very far from Crescent Girls School.

Ya,I understand too. So that is also why I want to get all those who opt for this school to get together and get common driver or transport to the school. But there seems to be no reply..... :heartbroken:

Any parents whose kids opt to go to either of the school? Please write to me!!! Thanks !!!

Hi , no heartbroken emoticons cos you are supposed to be happy & lucky.. ha
We chose RV, then Nan Hua. Chances are she will get Nan Hua. We are staying in Woolands too. Good if can get transport, Lims is helping to check it out.
Woodlands to Crescent is very far. I used to work around there, I gave up.
Another 2 of my daughter's classmates also applying Nan Hua and staying in Woodlands but it all depends on what school they get in before we can pool together for transport.
Good Luck :celebrate:
