      My DS has been offered TJC and DHS via DSA too and we also do not know which to choose.
      Can you share with us why you have decided on TJC (other than the distance) after speaking with your friends and nieces from dhs?

        Can someone help to clarify when people says that TJC does not have an O level track? Does it means that the student may be asked to leave if they do not perform up to mark.


        Appreciate.

          Hi Parents/students,


          Just want to check what time must the students report to school from Mon to Fri? For year 1 students, do they have a lot of homework? And lastly, what is the promotion criteria i.e like from yr 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and so on?

          Appreciate your help.

          Thank you.

                Hi gtayc! I'm a J1 student (J2 next year) who's surviving on just $2.00 per day for 1 meal during lunch (rice + 2 vegetable + 1 fish/meat). The more expensive stalls such as the Western one sells theirs at an average of $3.50. The drinks are reasonably priced as well ranging from $1.00 - $2.50.

                Though if your son/daughter dines at the hawker centre opposite College, it would be advisable to give around $5.00 because the food there is selling at prices approximately $3.00 - $5.00.

                  May I know how many stall in the school? Is it most of the stall around $2? If I give 3 is it enough?

There is going to be a break as well (probably) so if he/she is going to eat for break as well then maybe he/she will need about 5 dollars at least

                        What I did was bring the specs (given by the school) down to an IT fair and selected between a HP, Asus and Toshiba. Chose the Asus as it was the lightest and specs-wise was the best too. Paid about $1.7k after discounts and added stuff.

                        On hindsight, a model costing between $1.2 to $1.4k would suffice.
