Thanks . I don't think we can discontinue AEP in JH 3 or 4 as we were given a letter in Jan to commit till JH4. Think got to meet up the teacher , how to improve and excel in it .

Oh, I see. Was there even a trial period for the 1st month before signing the commitment letter?

If NJC is an AEP center under MOE, then quitting is not simple matter. Must have MOE approval. For MEP , the JH1-4 are not under MOE. Only JC MEP is under MOE.

The trial period only 2 or 3 lessons if I'm not wrong . I think we got no choice . Btw , I would like to check whether is accelerated Maths same as AEP ? No matter how gd or bad it will contribute to GPA?
My dd told me that her classmates was given a choice for third language to add in to GPA score , is that true ?
Thanks

Hello!
I went for the KL trip last year, and I believe that the packing list should have everything needed! Just note to bring a lot of insect repellent and beware of the leeches Also, make sure to bring the proper attire listed because places like the Mosque and the Parliament House have specific requirements. Do noted to bring a neck pillow and entertainment as well as the bus trips can get really long and tiring.
Also, it would be useful to take along a clipboard and spare writing materials such as foolscap as your child will be taking lots of notes there!
I think this should be all and I hope this helps

Thats really helpful sunshine123. One of the item in the list is towel... I thought the hotel would provide? Is it necessary to bring one?

My DS is Jh2, the GPA is below 3.0. is this consider no good?

I guess as long as it does not fall below 2 should be OK.In my DS class for 2012 there were 3/4 in Deans list last term and this term not a single one.Most were in the 2.9 to less than 4 in myDS class. What a toughie.There seems to be only 1 in the Deans list 4.0 or > for the whole JH2 cohort is it true?Not sure which class.Biggest casualty was LA-the Dean is a PhD and determined to prepare the students for A level standards as of now.When I looked at the paper it seems more of University standards. Also the standard for Science is very much higher than RI and Hwa Choong IP program from what I hear from secondary school science teachers.

Hi,

Any idea why was there a change in the JH Dean? Previously, was a lady. Now the JH Dean is a guy. If set such high standard, that means only the cream of the crop, and the very elite from JH2 are able to opt for Advance Lit class in JH3.

It is a critical year for JH2 since they are going to choose the subject combination.

Thanks for the sharing.

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.

Hello all,

I've read lots of posts regarding AEP and MEP.
I suppose that since AEP and MEP are two electives in which the school pumps lots of resources into(Third Language is external), it naturally expects its students to perform well.
In addition, the method of including/excluding Third Language marks from the GPA has only been recently put into place and is still undergoing review, so this system is subject to change and maybe who knows, AEP and MEP might follow suit.
For parents of JH1 students, AEP has 8 credits, making it currently the module with the highest number of credits. So if your child did not do well, AEP will most definitely swing your child's grades down as it is the most important factor in your child's GPA. As a JH3 AEPian, I would say that the JH1s are really really talented and their artworks are really good Do encourage them to work hard and explore more! After all, practice makes perfect!
