[quote=\"Ms Tan\"]Hi parents with JC kids,


On JC reporting day, do the kids need to bring extra monies to buy their uniforms etc? Or will they be given a grace period to settle such administrative matters?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience.

I thought parents can come along on Reporting Day (just like S1 Posting)?

You thinking of standing outside classroom and watch ? Like P1? lol[/quote]For JAE students, are parents not invited to school briefing by the Principal, Deans, etc?

I remember my DD was asked to get her uniform only after the 3 or more days of orientation had ended and lessons were about to begin. Even after that, there were some still wearing their sec sch uniform while waiting for their appeal results to other JCs.

For RI, at least, the parents' briefing is not on reporting day. If I recall correctly (please check if anyone is planning to go!), it's on Sat.

I do not think it's the same as S1 reporting day as these pupils are old enough to handle all admin matters themselves. There will be many JC2 OG leaders to help guide them to settle in. Orientation program will commence on reporting day. Some JCs will release their pupils by noon while some may be as late as 5pm.

psle sad mum:

do you think is better to study H2 chemistry and H1 history or the other way round? thanks!

What are your daughter's strengths? Questions like that can't be usefully answered without knowing the student.

Thanks for info as this is first time for me. Is this the same for all JCs or does it depend on which JC you are posted to?

So parents briefing will be on a different day? I am very excited to visit school regardless of which JC my DS gets posted to.

Sorry hor, I sound very suaku, lol

I am not sure but I presume that as the Principal needs to send notice to parents regarding the briefing but since the reporting day is the day after the posting date, he won't have sufficient time to do that. So usually the briefing will be held at a later date.

I have no idea of history, but H2 chemistry is useful for many subject combis at uni, the science-based ones like biomed, med/dentistry, pharmacy, some engineering.

My DD said there were some parents who went to her JC with their DC on reporting day. The parents were allowed to remain in the hall when the P addressed the students.
Subsequently, the parents were invited to a smaller area to have a chat with the P, who might have briefed them on the schedules of their dc, before sending them off.
The official meeting with parents was held at a later date.
