      Among the three, I like ACS(I). Better upkeep of building (most probably becos it is independent school with fund raising events, higher sch fees, etc).
      Eh, ACS(I), you can \"fund\" your child's DSA too, you know. πŸ˜‰ Coffers must be quite full. I heard of rather large sums.

        Personally I feel that the NJC campus was badly built :

        Staircase design was inappropriate - all wet with water cascade like yesterday - can't they do something about it ? Has anyone fell before due to wet / slippery stairs ? RGPS is also a government school at next door - and look at their staircase on each block - no issue with wet weather

        Understand that they have a major building project in progress but that does not seem to contribute to the general feel of untidiness in the campus.
        Yeah, dh says the place is badly designed, furthermore on a *hilly* plot of uneven land(Ups & downs) - both NYGH & RGPS both don't have that sort of *lumpy* land. That day, me & my friend were like laughing that the steps are worse than those we had last time at Kent Ridge!!! And then I was walking behind a few parents who had difficulty with the steps. Sad...

                The corridors are uneven and when it rains, puddles gather / ponding problem

                Some of these housekeeping things do not cost big money.

                :!: :!: :!:

                Anyone in the PAACT? Here's an urgent request.

                    HCI is also old. Some complained cobwebs in the hostel room - probably not occupied for a period of time. However as a whole, the HCI campus does not seem untidy

                    Seems like you will strike NJC off your list for JC education πŸ˜‰

                        noob:
                        Jennifer:

                        Today's games were more fun, except for the mass dance session.


                        My dd commented that the seniors are very helpful and friendly, easy to communicate and fun loving. I believe NJC will bring our kids to a greater height. πŸ˜„

                        As expected my boy did not enjoy the mass dance (think he takes after me- poorly coordinated for dance) :lol:

                        The students wld be missing the originally scheduled French lesson tmr. Though a teacher announced that NJC will be submitting an excuse chit, do we have to arrange for make-up lessons on our own?
