Hi @KiasuNewbie, I'm currently in Sec 3 (I'm using my parent's account to respond to your query) and I was in the Literature Mentorship programme last year (2022).


The selection test is a pen-and-paper test, which is basically your literary response to a text, quite similar to a Sec 1 LA Paper 3 assessment. We're not allowed to disclose the questions but essentially if you love reading and are interested in literature, you should go for it!

For my batch, about 23 of us were accepted based on how we fared in the diagnostic test and sometimes our LA teachers' recommendations.

For us, Literature Mentorship lessons commenced in Term 2 Week 3 and our last lesson was in Term 3 Week 8/9.

As you may have noticed, some LA periods in the Sec 2 timetable are called LA Lecture, which is when the Literature Mentorship students go for the sessions, so you would have to take some time to do the additional readings (if any) and catch up on what was taught in the LA lessons.

In Literature Mentorship, we learnt about some literary theories and read and discussed some texts (including poetry and short stories), and at the end of the programme, we have to work on our Inquiry Project (individual or in a group) on any topic of our choice, which is due the next year in around February (in fact some groups are still working on theirs), and will be posted on a website accessible for all students. There was originally a physical presentation in school but that has been affected due to the pandemic.

We will also be talking about Literature Mentorship on CREATE Day, though that would probably be after the selections for your year have been made.

Personally, I really appreciate the space Literature Mentorship gave me to make some new friends, explore literature concepts and study works (especially when working on my Inquiry Project). Many of us have gone on to study Literature in Upper Secondary and some have even been accepted into the school's Humanities Programme.

I'm glad to hear that you're interested and I hope my response helps I think you should go for it, no harm trying

Hi,

My girl is considering to put Nygh IP as first choice.

May I know if the school is accessible to any MRT station or any parents with child staying at Sengkang can share their transportation route? Thanks!

Hi, my girl took punggol train to Serangoon northeast line, change to circle line Botanic garden, come out train station, and took bus from there. Drop off 4 or 5 stops later, in total 1 hr to reach nygh classroom in morn which is considered fast. My girl was very pleased with this route.

Hi,May I know what the selection tests for the advance subjects like? Is it just written tests or Mcq? No interview?

Thanks in advance

The class allocation will be made known on the sch notice boards to sec 1 on 2 Jan.

Yes, there are free lockers inside each classroom
