      Jennyflower, pls share what you mean.


      My son in fact displays mildly some autistic behavior at times. But as he is doing well in school and coping, teachers and counsellors say to let him be since he is coping well. Counsellors and doctors say that \"smart\" kids sometimes display a second exception, eg hyperactive, autism etc. they call it double exception.

      When he was in JH1, one teacher say he was disruptive as he asked too many questions....actually, she doesn't have answers to all his questions :rotflmao: We have spoken to him and he now restraint himself more. No complains from any more teachers since.

      Sec school is a new environment for the kids. NJ even more diff from the other secondary schools. So maybe the new JH1 kids just need a little more time to adjust.

      But if you have concerns, speak to the teacher.

        True. My child is also hyperactive. I hope she dosent irritate her classmates


        My 2nd boy is diagnosed to be mildly hyperactive. He takes 2 capsules of fish oil in the morning before leaving for school.

        All his teachers reported a better behaved child after we started him on fish oil.

        The saying \"fish is good for the brain\", is not false. Skewing a little off-topic, my dd has been eating \"oily\" fish (salmon and cod) since a toddler, and also takes fish oil supplements, does help in a child's development - wonders! 😄

            I think the café CCA is for a few weeks?

            Was she feeling well this morning before going to school?

            Most fish oil capsules do not hv bad smell. Just swallow with some water.

              I thought the choir room has air con. Maybe she is already unwell that's why she felt dizzy. JH1 no CCA right? It's Cafe. They try the various CCAs for a few weeks and only term 4 then choose the one they like. CCA choice only finalized in JH2.

                  May I know whether is it compulsory to sell all the tickets issued to the students?


                  Who do you all sell the tickets to? Relatives? Friends? Will they purchase from your child? Or you will buy ALL the tickets yourself?

                  I find it awkward when my dd told me that she want to sell it to my relative during Chinese New Year. I doubt they will be interested to go all the way to NJC for the funfair. Is it ok to ask them to purchase during CNY? 😛

                    The last NJC Funtasia we went to was enjoyable.

                    It is alright to return unused tickets.

                    The event is meaningful as it is put up by the students.

                    By chance you know anyone with children in P5/P6 who are interested to get to know the sch better?

                      Hi phankao


                      I know you have a kid in the Music Programme in NJC. May I know whether the kids can play any instrument of their choice - or does it need to be a string instrument or piano?

                      Also - can the students in the Music Programme join the symphonic band as a CCA - or is it typically not advised due to time commitments.

                      Greatly appreciate your response - thanks in advance.
