Bryan:

Yeah, boarded (bored) last semester last year, and again this very semester.

Your TS was feeing bored lasy year ? I thought there was supposed to be a series of activities ?
[quote]I have my reservations about the ROI of the EBS, but I'd rather that you guys form your own opinions. Then we can discuss on how or whether we can feedback to the school. :celebrate: [/quote]What is ROI and EBS means ? :oops:
[quote]The principal says there was a review late last year and there should be changes. It's only been two days, so I can't comment yet.[/quote]So, by the time our kids in JH1 this year go boarding, it should be better than your TS's time, right ?

And yes, the facilities look a bit dated and mouldy, but still functional. Just try not to look across the road to HCI with its clock tower, expanse of space and swimming pool.

Or look next to NYGH ...

VitoRelax:

Thanks, so must concentrate on science lah.

If it is all mixed up with geography, how are they gonna adapt in A level with subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology ... etc ?

It IS supposed to be the three segments of Physics, Chemistry & Biology already. The Chem part was pretty ok - I could see the electron and protons.

Don't worry la, just hope they spent last year fruitfully (with my Son) to sort things out for your child this year.

there are 3 schools there side by side


NYGH took over the original location of NJC, and the iconic LT of NJC was gone forever

RGPS occupied the location of former Dunearn Sec School

NJC got pushed to the back to take over the site of former Dunearn Tech

NJC is supposed to be a premier school, but the NEW buildings really need touching up. HCI is older but does not look so bad. If MOE can build NYGH and RGPS with that level of quality, why not NJC ?

So, your son must give feedback, ok ?

a) the organization, or

yes, the way the tour was organised.

they simply told me i was supposed to be in an earlier group without checking the name list and then another person shouted \"no no no\" but the group i was supposed be in has set off with the tour already, and then just said : eh, just join any group and go lah....

You mean the tour for SH ?
[quote]b) the quality of student or

i thinks the students who got in are good, based on the cop for JC 1 and the COP of PSLE graduates. but why no scholar in the last 13 years ? that means good students went in did not perform. or in working life terms, it means value destruction, no value add achieved by the school

c) the standard of education or

see above point

I think in 2009 they got 1 scholar. Yes, before that, draught for quite a while. I dunno but is using President's Scholar a correct & accurate yard stick to measure the quality of student & standard of education ?

While their 6 year IP students haven't take A levels yet, what about the A level results of those coming in using O level result ? Is it bad also ?
[quote]d) the condition of the buildings ?

definitely looks like a 30 year old building. thought it was built circa 1996 ?[/quote]Yeah the buildings looks old liao. The brick fence at the entrance (at top hill) got a crack across it & looks like collapsing !!

But the borading school building looks new[/quote]
[quote]good observation, lets hope their below average organization skills is just a reflection of typical govt organisation efficiency, sticking to rules (like having 3 quotes for items like collar pins), they should also change and set up committee to break those old rules and adapt to the current era, not living in 1976. My older boy is in HCI and they encourage their students to bring up anything they want to see changes, and this is done every week in an assembly style with the Principal, the students can air and suggest anything they want, and the school will take into their suggestion if it is supported by the majority, and make \"Changes\".
