All students entering Nan Chiau High School must read Higher Chinese from Sec 1.

At MOE’s Committee of Supply Debate in March 2020, MOE launched the National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) for our schools and Institutes of Higher Learning to help students strengthen their digital literacy. Throughout their educational journey, students will be able to acquire digital skills across four components in the “Find, Think, Apply, Create” framework.

One of the components of the NDLP is the introduction of the Personalised Digital Learning Programme (PDLP) for all secondary school students, whereby every secondary school student will own a school-prescribed Personal Learning Device (PLD) by end-2021.

The PLD will be used in tandem with the national e-learning platform – the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS) – as well as other educational technology to personalise and enhance students’ learning. This will also enable students to acquire digital skills and apply these skills as they navigate an increasingly digitalised world.

There is no need to purchase the PLD on your own, as we will make bulk purchases together as a school.
The details for the purchasing of PLD under the National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) initiative can be found in the letter under Section D of the Sec 1 Electronic Registration page.

Primary 6 students who have applied to Nan Chiau High School during MOE’s Secondary 1 Posting Exercise but are unsuccessful, may appeal to be considered for transfer to Nan Chiau High School.

These students appealing for admission to NCHS after the release of the Secondary 1 Posting result have to meet the school’s cut-off point.

Students who do not meet the cut-off point would not be eligible to appeal for admissions.
