What you’ve heard, could be true. My friend’s dd got in via SIE total 6 points with AL1 for both math and science. Didn’t attend camp, only interview.[/quote]

Happy new year 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣3️⃣🎉

Wonder if anyone got in via NUSHS SIE? They said no cut off point to apply SIE, but during DSA I heard NUSHS students must attain AL1 for Math& Sci and total cannot be more than AL6

They didn’t attend the camp - my son was the only one who managed to get into the selection camp. Of course he didn’t get selected as well 🥹

Yeah. In all seriousness, I quite like the current set up. I feel that each school should be given the time and opportunity to develop their own character and characteristics.

NUSH recommendation is AL1 for both Math and Science and AL4 - AL6 Total Score. Previously, it was 250+ (~AL8+) and A* in Math/Science.

Just curious, do you know if these two kids attended the NUSH Camp or were interviewed (first time around)? Either way, good for them and many congrats!

My son have two friends who both scored AL5. They went for the NUS High the 2nd day of result release (24 Nov) for interview and got admitted the next day.
And yes, students need to score AL1 for both maths and science. Not sure about total AL requirement though.

I’ve always suggested that we should rename half our schools Raffles and the other half Hwa Chong. Name change only, cheap cheap. Everybody happy since you have 50% chance of being posted to Raffles and 50% chance of being posted to Hwa Chong (well… everyone happy except those fanboys and fangirls of ACS, SJI, VS, RV, DHS, CGSS, SCGS etc. Sorry, the world isn’t big enough for so many people).

Then we'll have Hwa Chong @ Sengkang vs Hwa Chong @ Woodlands. All the schools will be still be ranked.

Out of the primordial soup, chaos will reign. Look at the variety of animals there are now, given that all life began with the same amoeba. The only thing that is constant is \"change\".

Please allow me to clarify a few things.

A mega secondary school under 1 roof is not necessary a new giant campus :-
Many schools have started to go upwards , meaning , less space required but you still get the necessary facilities. Eunoia JC is one good example and a few more schools are under construction under this model.
ITE has 3 campuses, serving 27K students, meaning = 9000 students in a year @ 1 site. Then, we also have St Andrew Village as example.

Why is there a need to have so many secondary schools in different locations (really), some in close proximity ?
It is not resource efficient in a way. Also, it is not about recreating a big RI/HCI/ACI/SJI etc. It is to help bring the focus back, education should remain as education and students should be allowed to rediscover the joy of learning and not to be bogged down by exam drills just so they can score better and to try to get into a school of choice. How many students who reach P6 truly enjoy learning today ? Let's us take a step back and ask
ourselves this question honestly. Continuous learning is the way forward and we need students to really enjoy learning and see the purpose of learning, by equipping them with the necessary resources.

At moment, with too many schools in different locations, resources are spread too thin.
Students may not get a chance to learn what they wish to learn, eg some schools offer robotics,
but it may not be available in the school that a student is posted to under current system.
Some schools do not offer some CCA due to lack of demand or lack of facilities and at times,
students may have to go over another sec schools for those CCA.

With a mega cluster secondary school, the purpose pool resources, to allow students to have a seamless progression near their place of residence. After PSLE, students who preferred a school near home, they can head straight to the nearest cluster secondary school and you know you have a school with good facilities, learning options that you are looking for.

While we are at it, may I propose the names of the schools to be Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.

I wish to seek some views from more parents as every view helps to refine the idea in some ways.

Thank you
