Blurone:

Thanks yellowbelt!

Will get him to try out on next week

In fact, I just thought of another possible route.

MRT to Serangoon, exit bus stop at NEX (Exit E), take SBS 43 or 70, alight at bus stop number 2 (bus stop name is Yio Chu Kang Road, opposite Serangoon Swimming Complex) after boarding (not counting the one where he boards from) and take 76 from that same bus stop.

Hello 😄 Uhm so basically I'm a 13 year old kid currently receiving education in SCGS, and I'm thinking of transferring to NJC. Could anybody tell me what are chances of getting accepted by the school? And also, am I making a wise decision? ><

Hi,

You have been studying Year 1 in SCGS for close to 5 months and would like to come to NJC.

Like to share why are you considering to transfer to NJC? What are the reasons for coming? Guess, by sharing, you will be able to know if you are making an informed decision.

Hope this helps.

Love Clouds:

My DD in Y1 too.

Her CT1 History and Geog results not good. Others subj still good. I think she doesn't know how to answer as required yet. I am worried, but she said most of her classmates face the same problem and she will learn on her own.
Is it normal?
They took TRP CT1 exam, but from the Y1 booklet, TRP is non-examinable, so is the grade counted?

As what Augmum had mentioned, History and Geo results are like roller coaster. Just to share, DS2 is Y2 now, last year, when he started to write history essays, his results was not even at the borderline (failed badly). After some consultation/clinic sessions with the History teacher, keep practicing his writing skill with the past year papers and let the teacher went through with him, he did improve up to A+. The teachers in DHS are really helpful.
So do ask your child to consult the teachers as soon as possible as CT2 and EOY for history are all tested on essays.

WorriedParents748:

That's reassuring.....


He have no problem with the other 5 subjects, in fact doing well, getting 3.6 or 4.0

Only HCL

My DS is in a similar situation as your DS.. Started off with 2.4, moved up to 2.8, peaked at 3.2, but back to 2.8 again in the recent MYCT.. And he stubbornly refuses to attend any tuition (since primary school days)... :roll:

Hi, where is the tuition venue going to be? Thanks.

Chandelier:

Hi all, Term 2 results are out on our DS I-Comp for marks checking :yikes:

Thanks Chandelier!!!!

Btw, DS shared that there's weightage allocated for each assignment under English & Higher Chinese. We're not suppose to sum up the marks & divide it with the total to determine the grade.

Here is a bit of a news for secondary 4 students and parents. The sports school is taking part in the DSA-JC.

http://www.sportsschool.edu.sg/GeneralPageDetails.aspx?id=93

2013 Direct School Admission (DSA) - JC Exercise
For Admission to IBDP Year 1 in January 2014

From 2013, the Singapore Sports School is taking part in the MOE DSA-JC Exercise.

The Sports School offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) which is an academically challenging and balanced pre-tertiary programme of education with final examinations that prepares students for success at university and life beyond.

We are looking for promising Sec 4 students who demonstrate any of the following:
a. strong intellectual potential;
b. leadership potential;
c. outstanding talent in sports; and
d. qualities like integrity, resilience and excellence.

Successful applicants will be offered a place in SSP at the start of January 2014 on the condition that they satisfy the minimum criterion for admission to junior college based on their GCE O-Level result. Once a student has accepted the DSA offer, he/she will not take part in the Joint Admission Exercise.

Eligibility Criteria

Applicant must be a Singaporean/Singapore PR or international student who is currently studying at Sec 4 (or equivalent) in a Singapore school.

A) Sports
- Represented Singapore Schools Sports Council and/or National Youth Team level.
B) Academic
- The selection criteria for DSA into Year 5 (equivalent to JC 1) are as follows:
Academic performance in Secondary 3 and Secondary 4 school examinations

IBDP Scholarship
Academic and Sports Scholarships are available for talented IBDP student-athletes.

Ok, this mean a sec4 student who has done well in sports and studies can look forward to doing their JC education at the sports school. The one great advantage over mainstream JC would be being able to continue elite sports training.

BTW, I understand that the IBDP program is part on the sports school 6-year intergrated program (IP). Meaning they take in students at secondary 1. These students will bypass O’level and continue into the JC1 at the sports school. Basically it works like the way ACS(I) does it.

I do recall ACS(I) taking in students at year 3 (Secondary 3) into their IP. So similarly, if I am not mistaken, there are oportunity for secondary 2 students from the mainstream school to get into year 3 of the sports school IP program. What I am saying is, if you are highly sports\\academic talented, you don’t have to wait to secondary 4 and DSA-JC to sports school. You can actually “DSA” anytime into sec2, sec3 or sec4.

Does anyone have any lobang to the tickets application for NDP 2013?

There's a paper about 2 years old that you can download from http://nk11r10-homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/wa/2007TSLNIBDPFInal.pdf.pdf-zip.zip?a=downloadFile&user=brythain&path=/Public/2007TSLNIBDPFInal.pdf. It's PDF, about 300+ Kb when downloaded. Enjoy.

Hi Autolycus
My DD is in P6 this year and we are comparing the IB and the A level track. I'd be most helpful if you could share this pdf.
TIA.

Have responded. If others are interested, more recent documentation is available from me. Just PM. 🙂

I also give talks about this, but I'm not going to advertise when or where in this discussion thread. :)[/quote]thank you autolycus. appreciate your help.
