[quote=\"ParkYuni\"]In addition to my last post, I am not so concerned about the value-added award but more on the the integrity of the leader, hence I need to clarify further.

Value-added may be important but as it is, there will be pupils who are retained and failed to get a place in local uni each year in nyjc as well as other jcs. It's the pupils who need to work hard to attain good results for themselves.

Sorry about deleting your posts.
NYJC is not 'Chinese'. Visit the college if you are free.
I feel the P didn't do anything wrong. No other JCs names was mentioned or shown. Only NYJC name.
P talked about this issue as parents requested prior to the Talk for some info about it.

We will definitely do so. But earlier on, Quinine mentioned something about its culture. Having graduated from nyjc, I would like to hear from her. Your impression is not-chinese but you are still very new to nyjc and I believe yourDC hasn't exposed to the culture yet.
Based on the value-added charts shown in the link I posted earlier, something is amissed. .
Apparently, the P knew the question would be asked during the Talk so he had already prepared it on hand.
Perhaps you are a parent of a student in the jc now so you are able to embrace the P but I choose to say objective until further clarifications.
Thanks for your enthusiasm, Chip n Dale.[/quote]The parent who emailed the P, hoping P would share some information about it.
If not, the Talk was a general talk and Q&A session.
Thanks.

Can anyone confirm if the principal mentioned about the school's value-added award every year during the past Open House talks?
Refer to this link:

Seems like many are taken in by this value-added award. I am sure the principal will capitalize on this plus point but the question is how genuine is it? Can the jc still can the award, now that cop has reached its record low of 6 since the lower the cop, the greater the difficulty of achieving value-addedness for the jc.

TBH, with the notable exception of Hwa Chong, none of the JCs in Singapore can really be considered "Chinese schools". Unlike the long list of SAP (aka very "Chinese-y") Primary/Secondary schools we have here in Singapore, there are barely even 20 JCs here in Singapore and perhaps that’s the reason why no JC would try to introduce traditional Chinese culture into the school, with the purpose of keeping the school multi-ethnic and multi-cultural.


Maybe the reason why Nanyang JC is often mistaken to be a "Chinese school" would be due to it’s name. Rest assured that thr school isn’t as "Chinese" as its’ name would suggest.

Good post!
Rather Nyjc has a Culture of Care.

Based on above link, must a student have obtained at least a pass in A-math in order to take H2 math?

I am curious to know if nyjc exercises such flexibility as most jcs allow students with good E-math pass and good overall O-level results to take H2 math and will also provide a bridging course for them.

For science stream, must a student have done 2 pure sciences and 2 math in O-level in order to qualify, as in other jcs?

Hello,

I graduated just a few years back and may be able to help with your questions. From what I know and seen, one must take Add Math in order to take H2 Math (my friend tried to appeal but to no avail). No negotiations from what I know.

Being in the science stream will guarantee that you'll take H2 math (no matter which jc), so you will have to have taken 2 math during your Os.

I was a combined science student (phy/chem with no pure science at all) and thus could not take two H2 science (phy/chem/bio) subjects. I made do with my hybrid combination of two science (H2 math and chem) and two arts. Alternatively, you could choose one H2 and one H1 science subject (eg. h2 chem, h1 phy). You can still be in the science stream without any pure science background!

Thank you for your reply, Mookata.

Hello, my eldest son is currently taking his 'O' levels this year, he was asking me about which JC should he go to and was wondering how is it like in NYJC? Is there anyone that might be able to explain more information about the school? Greatly appreciated, thanks!
