      My DD settling nicely in Catholic JC. Subject selection of her choice with 4H2 appeal approved.
      1) MAths
      2) Econs
      3) English Language & Lingustic
      4) Lit
      In hindsight, this is best that could have happen to her, though she was keen to go ACJC/NYJC.
      I think it's good too, getting the subject combination you want vs getting into another JC where you can't do your choice of subject combi.

        DD is settling well into new school. i was initially apprehensive if she, a jae student, could fit well into a IP jc. Glad she enjoyed her orientation. Even had to remind her to come back earlier each night. She likes her new class too.

        Those were late nights at Orientation, weren't they? šŸ™‚ What's the JAE/RP mix like in your dd's class?

          Yes Jtoh. ACJC needs A1 to take Lit at H2 level... Similarly ELL would have some criteria in NYJC as well.
          So it is all good :imcool:

            Yeah ..... :slapshead: and she hardly stays out for dinner.
            Her class ratio is about 4:17. Heard some classes hv more jae than rp. Your dd taking ki? Are there many taking ki?

                  Both NYJC & Catholic has english test to qualify for ELL...

                    Except for the first day that he was feeling down because he misses his friends and sec school, my ds is adapting ok in MJC. Came back late for most of orientation days. Not used yet to the amount of time taken for his journey as he had been walking to and from school for the past ten years. šŸ˜‰

                        And , if student dun take it at O level , they will not for A level because you can't cope. So it is number game to get in good JC.
