I can understand your frustration, especially so when you have appealed for your child to get into NJC. But I hope that you do not let your frustrations and negative moods affect the enthusiasm of your child in the school.

Yes, those were little hiccups. But stay positive ....
[quote]Do stay positive and maybe ,you can try giving constructive feedback to the school admin or the parents' support group. I'm sure there's a positive platform to air your frustrations.

The PAACT said they do organize function like \" Have breakfast with the Principal\". Maybe you should attend.



But I cannot help comparing with the publicity blitz that our S'pore Zoo once promoted, ie \"Have breakfast with Ah Meng !!\" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:[/quote]

While I was q'g to buy PE attire, a mother told me that Finest @ Beauty World Centre sells NJC uniforms too.

That's interesting - maybe they'd have smaller sizes? I saw some boys smaller sized than my boy wearing fitting uniforms(my boy wearing smallest size fr bibi/baba). Altho' I also saw some boys looking really untidy in roomy uniforms.

Frankly, we had exactly the same problem with the PE attires and Bibi-Baba last year. I thought the school would have learnt a lesson from last year's delays. :stupid:

Actually I thought Bibi & Baba not to bad. PE attire I also manage to get. The problem this year is the Polo TShirt.

I didn't have much problems with Bibi/Baba either. I think those parents who's children appealed in after the reporting day have much greater problems bc the rest of us bought up most of the stock already.

I notice that BiBi/Baba handles the uniforms for many schools, including all the big names like ACS, MGS, CHS, etc, etc. I doubt the school handles their *inventory/sizing availiability management*, right? So the problem lies with Bibi/Baba. And if no uniform, too bad, just have to go without uniform. Gee, I heard that some really \"ks parents\" who knew that their child (based on score/dsa) surely will get into NJC and went during the holidays to buy from the vendors already!!!! Wah, if only I had the foresight to do before reporting day! :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:

Tee-shirts generally would not be from the same Vendor since usually a supplier that does what are known as \"woven material\" apparel would not at the same time handle \"knit\"(t-shirt) material clothes. But yeah, they should let us know the vendors for the PE attire & Polo so we don't have to go only to the school to buy.

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 ?

I think the very reason is that NJC's buildings/rebuilding is managed by MOE itself, while that of HCI & NYGH are privately handled by their individual school boards themselves bc they are independent! Big difference hor.

It looks like MOE made what can be considered as a financial decision by *selling* the better piece of land to NYGH and taking the less-favourable piece of land for their own government-run school (NJC, lah!). Bc can make more money from that piece of land sold to nygh, right?

Whether EBS will be further enhanced by the time this JH1s do it, let's compare notes when your turn comes.

ROI = returns on investment

EBS = enhancement boarding school

Pay S$60+/mth for boarding school term, what ROI did you expect. :lol:

BTW, emails to this account \"[email protected]\" does NOT get seem to any replies.

Really, meh? I emailed 2x last year and got replies, altho' 2 days later. But emails to individual teachers (can see all the emails on the NJC website) are replied within the day itself - very quick.
