[edit] Talk
I have overhauled the entire article, deleting unnecessary sections like the uniform. I have also deleted the school schedule section, but I don't know if that's wise. If everyone's fine with it, then that's okay, if not, I suggest putting it under the Curriculum section.
Part of the overhaul also includes reformatting the article, making the flow clearer, and shifting some sections into subsections (e.g. teachers), because they don't warrant an entire section. Again, if anyone has any objections, feel free to bring them up.
I've also tried to remove the advertising overtones that the article has by rephrasing some sentences. I still feel some parts of it sound like they were filched from the website though, so if anyone can neutralize the article a little, you're welcome to.
As for the school's non-existent section on history, does anyone feel that it's necessary to put it in? Such as the parliamentary debate about how Singaporean secondary schools weren't achieving good standards etc. etc. and the resultant conceiving of NUS High School. Even though the school's only 2.5 years old, but the circumstances surrounding the school's conception and creation is quite interesting, and I feel it warrants a section. What do you all think of this?

It's a little hard to talk about the conception and creation of the school with much authority unless someone hauls things from the speeches of the important people like Teo Chee Hean and the likes about their ideas of this school. Having said this, I think it is only proper we paraphrase what the school would say about its existence on its website rather than speculate what the school is all about.
I noticed someone updated that the current Principal is stepping down. But no one updated the name of the incoming one. I can help with that.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:NUS highsch logo.jpg
Image:NUS highsch logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AXIS NUS High School Research Programme
Hi, I thank you for your time in doing and refining this article! :) But I was wondering, if you could also include the AXIS NUS High School Research Programme, and give alittle emphasis to it as well, because, afterall, its also rather unique to the school. Thanks!
