[quote=\"R3mom\"]My DS1 will be in JC1. On the day after posting release, do parents need to go the the posted JC with the child? What will we need to do? Is it similar to Sec 1 registration - Principal's talk, buy uniform & books?

Dd will go alone when reporting to posted jc.

We don't think there is a need to buy uniforms and books on the same day. So we are doing it slow.

The JCs give them some time to buy uniform. Maybe ~2-3 weeks. They report in their secondary school uniform. No books to buy. Lots of notes.[/quote]
I see, so no Principal's Talk which means the JC does not expect parents to attend as well. Thanks parents.

There should be a talk but it's not on the reporting day.

I take a look at the JC cut off points for the past few years. Many JCs have improved their COP over the years. So if the L1R5 nett score is 13-16, there is really limited choices of JC to choose from.

May I know where to obtain the JC cut off points? Will this year be posted after the release of posting results?


Need to see what choices my ds can have for next year.

Usually the students can just go to schools themselves, the student councillors, staff and orientation leaders will guide them what to do next.


Orientation will usually begin right after the administration has been completed and students will use the orientation period to buy their uniforms. Information about subject combination, appeal etc will also be done during the orientation.

As former JC lecturer, I see majority of the students go to schools themselves, parents need not accompany them as they are already of 17 years old or above.
If there is any principal talk the school will inform you. Usually it would be about joining the school parents network. The subject combination, etc would have already been briefed during individual school’s open house.

It will be a new "era" of education and a busy one for your kid.
Good luck to your kids
