MAybe Bryan is referring to the ROI based on money spent by NJC ?
Pay S$60+/mth for boarding school term, what ROI did you expect. :lol:Bryan:
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 -
phankao:
That is fast & acceptable what ?
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.Bryan:
BTW, emails to this account \"[email protected]\" does NOT get seem to any replies.
You got an elder one already in NJC before your JH1 boy ? -

All upgrading works will have to follow queue in the MOE list, I suppose !!
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.phankao:

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 ?
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?
Maybe HCI & NYGH got rich ex student who donate lots of money for upgrading works ...
Hopefully some rich ex NJCian will donate some money to NJC ....[/quote]
There has not been any upgrading work done in NYGH yet. We are talking about the building quality as it is. For the Nanyang family of schools, they have to raise either 5% or 3% of the total cost, the rest paid by MOE. At issue is how NJC buildings were designed without consideration of the elements and its built quality. We are not asking for condo finishes but for a premier school, it is very lacking -

May be not true. I have been to see those schools that have under gone PRIME rebuilt - very good - and they are neighborhood government school, eg clementi town sec sch[/quote]PRIME programme also must wait for turn lah. Cannot expect MOE to upgrade all at the same time lah ...
After all, MOE is now promoting neighbourhood schools ... -

Must elect you to sit on the Board already !!Personally I feel that the NJC campus was badly built :
The corridors are uneven and when it rains, puddles gather / ponding problem
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
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
Some of these housekeeping things do not cost big money.

Anyone in the PAACT? Here's an urgent request.
I was thinking, wouldn't it be great if this year PAACT organized the first \"Having breakfast with Principal\" at the Zoo ?
