National Junior College (Junior High)

Just Mama:

Yes, heard that NJ is a mugger school ... but dont think this is happening at Junior High level. My girl in JH1 is really so happy there and enjoying school so much desspite having to get up super early every monring.

Same here. She is bonding very well with her classmates and enjoys playing frisbee with them during recess - her latest craze other than exchanging gossips about SNSD - a korean girl band with her friends.
She fell recently not from the rollerblading course but from, trying to catch a frisbee. :lol:

My girl is definitely not a mugger , though I wish she studies more at times.
She does not have a competitive streak and takes things at her own stride so I guess NJC suits her in this respect. That was one of the reasons why we put her there though she qualifies for the other top girls' schools.
Not much pressure from school work - she's having a great time and I'm so glad she's enjoying her school life, making friends and picking up new skills.

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.
