As with every school campus, there is some past to it. NUS High is no different despite it being a new campus. Much of the past originates back from the days when the plot of land that we are currently sitting on was Nan Hua High school. The following stuffs that will be mentioned are stuffs that I have heard over the years as well as information from some background research. That being said, it is up to the reader to believe the validity of this post for there is no way that I can verify everything.

The NUS High pond besides the lift used to be the site of the old DnT room of Nan Hua. Rumour has it that one day, a girl’s hair got entangled with a wood cutting machine. Unable to free herself, the blade came down and decapitated her. Ever since, her spirit has been haunting that area. Because of that, our school designed a pond in that area, believing that the water will trap her spirit and appease it. Also, because of the incident, all Nan Hua girls were required to tie up their hair in pigtails, thus starting the tradition of Nan Hua girls with pigtails.

The other NUS High pond behind the classroom block and near the road also has a similar reason for its existence. It was said that there used to exist a haunted toilet that was locked up and was generally avoided. However one day, some students got bored and decide to break the lock and enter the toilet. Upon entering the toilet, all of them let out a blood-curdling scream and ran out, faces pale as sheet. They said that they saw bloodstains everywhere, and that there was some ghostly apparition in the mirror. NUS High when building the school, decided to place a pond over the area as well so as to appease this spirit.

Finally, if anyone ever noticed, NUS High school hostel is built in the shape of a swastika and this is no coincidence. During WWII, the area used to be a swamp and was the site of a japanese massacre. Because of that, the “dark” energy that radiated from the place was very strong. As such, a swastika sign was to be placed over it to contain the “dark energy”. Also, as if this wasn’t sufficient, the pi-wall was designed to be more than a pi-wall. It was designed to be a large reflective mirror of sorts to reflect all these “dark energy” away from the main school campus.

Perhaps there are other stories of NUS High school campus waiting to be uncovered, but this is as far as I know. And with that I’d say that NUS High was built after much consultation with geomancers with regards to feng shui and stuffs.
