      Same here, I enrolled dd in NJ as I don’t want her to be affected by the competitive and stressful environment which my eldest daughter went through. She seems to be doing fine even thoughs she doesn’t " mug ".

      Is your daughter in solaris? I’ve heard from dd that many solaris Jh1s play frisbee at the amphi during lunch, and her class plays ball.

        Gee, my son must seem like a mugger then. He often uses his break or lunch time to practice so that he doesn't have to at home (and disturb his baby brother's bedtime).

        I've heard of a set of triplets (year 2s) who are in RI/HCI/NJC and they say NJC is the best among the 3. Best in what sense? Sori, dunno bc I only met briefly.

          I dunno, just a thought, could it be that maybe they try to be nice only leh ...

          ... if they meet RI parents, they say RI is the best ......
          ... if they meet HCI parents, they say HCI is the best .....
          ... if they meet NJC parents, they say NJC is the best ...

          In any case, for MdmKS info, not sure if it is useful, cut-off for 2010 entrance to HCI & NJC is the same (257) and for RI is 2 points higher (259)

            Please bear in mind that HCI cut-off 257 inclusive of Higher Chinese points, as for NJC without HCL:D

                Anyway, I just checked the handbook. Art is under P/F grading. These P/F graded subjects are not a constituent to GPA, lah ... my son *blur*.
                The school DID put Art into the GPA!!!!! So it affected my son's GPA .

                    It's just 1 credit. As long as there are some other well done subjects, the GPA wont be too low, right?

                      Conversational Malay is under P/F grading system, not A/F grading system. GPA is calculated for subjects under the A/F grading system.

                      For more details, refer to the yellow booklet \"Academic Prog information\".

                        Yes, all those subjects(art, PE, etc) are not under A/F grading, but they were put into the GPA nevertheless for this term. Interestingly, electives were not graded and not counted in GPA for Term 1.

                        The average GPA for JH1 for this term 1 was thus 3.36.
