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?

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 ...

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.

Must elect you to sit on the Board already !!

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

I paid $60 lah but what about you ? We need you to have breakfast with the Principal

I was thinking, wouldn't it be great if this year PAACT organized the first \"Having breakfast with Principal\" at the Zoo ?

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?

I called the school this morning and they say those attending 3rd lang will need to attend 3rd lang tomorrow, and dont need to go Sentosa, and also dont need to go school tomorrow. Seems there is new developments.

:? Is the admin very very sure?

I thought the sch sent an excuse chit to MOELC, so kena rejected???

aiyo, no one called. The OGL sms my boy what to bring for tmr trip only. He just sms her back to ask abt this. Hopefully she replies asap.

Else will call MOELC tmr first thing in the morning.

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. Coffers must be quite full. I heard of rather large sums.

Ok, if I strike TOTO big big or Big Sweep :lol: I will fund NJC for facilities upkeep

Upkeep only hor. Dun think can support upgrade :siam:[/quote]Can lah, people say all ACS parents very rich one what ?
