Is 30th April a no school day?

I’m not aware about 30/4 but the following day is a public holiday.


There’s one class of Express Chinese for JH1 this year. Express class completes the syllabus in 5 years while HMT students complete the Chinese syllabus in 4 years.

Cheers!

Does anyone know where to get those square silver buttons sewn to the epaulettes? We lost one of them TIA

Mean that it’s almost like SAP stream since only 1 class do 普华.


Do the student get to pick & are eventually allocated to the CCA they’re opt for? Cuz a lot of other schools view CCA so competitively that students need to audition for it & eventually don’t get to their CCA choice

Does NJ have O Level class for IP students who don’t thrive under IP track? Or these IP students will need to transfer out?

There’s no O level track for NJC’s IP. The school provides high level of support to ensure students can cope with the curriculum, eg, small class size of 25.


In year 1, all students undergo a CCA prog called CAFE, where students get to try at least 2 different types of CCA (sports and performing arts). The outcome is dependent on student’s choice and availability of places of the CCA.

Hi Socks!


Thanks for the info!

Good to know of the smaller class size & the CCA "CAFE" Program in NJ!

Your kid(s) is in NJ?

Do you have any idea if it’s very competitive to DSA via Academic to NJ?

Do u know what was the PSLE cut off score (2014 batch entering in Yr 1 2015) for entry to NJ?

Hello Dinah!


Yes, Dsa is very competitive. There were many students present for the written test. There’s only one route to dsa in NJC IP - via academics. All applicants sit for written tests for English and Maths.

The cop for year 1 students entering in 2015 is 254.

Cheers

If the student is talented in a particular CCA that NJC offers, he/she can also apply to the Talent Management Scheme during the first year. Don't have to wait till second year.
