Boarding at NUS High

This is posted by LJ's mum.

Lim Jeck started his boarding stay today. The NUS High Boarding programme is compulsory for all Year 5 students. Breakfast and dinner will be provided from Mondays to Fridays, 3 meals are provided on other days. Laundry service is provided. Lim Jeck will be going home on Fridays and then returning to the Boarding School on Sundays. The Boarding fee is $937.50 (after MOE subsidy, for Singapore Citizen/PR) per term, which is about 10 weeks. I find this rather expensive. I heard that the previous batches paid much lesser, last year it was $7xx per term and before that, it was $3xx. But we can't do anything about it, can't possibly opt out of hostel stay :( . The school explained that the fee has always been the same; it is the MOE subsidy that has been cut year after year :((
