The NUS High School Diploma Package

For those of you who might be interested, here's a physical description of the NUSHS Diploma which a student receives upon graduation at NUS High School.

The outer cover is a folder with the school logo and motto across the front. Think of it as a high class, A4-version of primary school report books.

In order from the top:

1. A page listing your personal information, date of matriculation and date of graduation
2. A certificate stating the qualification with which you graduate (Pass, Merit, Distinction, High Distinction)
3. A "certificate" certifying information from the foregoing item in written form
4. A couple of pages describing the school, its staff, its programmes and the graduation requirements
5. A good number of pages summarizing your academic record. CAP scores for Y1/2, 3/4 and 5/6 are shown, as well as your final graduation CAP. For the subjects, you have a Majors CAP, Honours CAP and overall CAP that will be shown. This is followed by a long list of modules that you've taken, classified first by whether they're used for CAP calculation, then by subject. There's also a sheet of explanatory notes detailing the grading system
6. A few pages summarizing your research activities. Abstracts from your research projects, grades for your ARP and publication listings all appear here.
7. Your student development transcript. This covers all your leadership activities, academic competitions, overseas exchange programmes, shiny medals/trophies, scholarships and the like. A list of all your CIP hours appears as well. Your personal statement on a key achievment appears at the end to top this section off.
8. Mentor's testimonial
