I put 31-32% now as I realized NYJC cohort is usually 700. This batch can be 700 or lesser( have retain people so lesser)
Hi Crester, in the link below, you had deleted the % of pupils with at least 3H2 and a pass in GP of 31% for NYJC. Why did you do so after others had posted better results such as RVHS 32.6%, DHS 39.5% and NJC 46% and VJC approx 50%?Crester:
This is NYJC thread. Its for us to share with parents/students who are intetested to know about NYJC.
My child is in year 1.
A)Before I begin, I would like to invite parents to visit NYJC ( not during Open House ), go around after 6 pm onwards.
You will see nyjc students studying. Check out their hair do if you are concerned about the hair length/ colour mentioned above.
So far, I don't see any students flouting sch rules of sporting inappropriate hair length/colour.
Ny has dressed down days just like a few other JCs. But Civics tutors have infd us its not sloppy dressed down day. The sch will keep a look out.
Talk abt NYJC campus, its bright, breezy, many study tables/chairs for students to self study.
Talk about study in schools, I rather have my kids study in school than study in outside eateries like Starbucks... unless your child is the typed that prefer to study on his own at home, if not, you can't keep him at home to study. When he studies outside, its his responsibility to discipline himself.
We can't be watching them all the time.
My kid has seen the Principal walking around in evening, asking students if they had dinner or not. Don't think students are out there asking the P for
favours ( which was mentioned above)
B)NYJC academic standard.
- the graduating class 2015 achieved great performance for 'A' level exam.
I was in the college during the released day of 'A' level results.
In summary:
1) about 31-32% achieved at least 3 H2 Distinctions AND a pass in GP ( RV has 32.6% )
2) UAP is 81 points
This batch COP was 7(Sci), 8(Art). The latest results justified this batch COP. The other JC with similar COP of 7,8 I read from another Kiasu Forum has almost similar 'A' level results( UAP of 80 as reported).
Other Factors also contribute to the improved in NYJC COP, I'm sure. But parents/students won't just accept such Factors only. As a parent myself, academic standard of a college is an equally important Factor to consider too.
Of course, can't compare with Top Tier JCs.
But the improving 'A' level results does quantify the improving COP over last few years.
So far:
-3 class tests conducted.
-Econ project and PW PI( last yr Topic) submitted. GP project on hand. Maybe other JCs also equally busy.
From what i can see, the Principal and his team of teachers are serious in their words..
I speak for NYJC as my child is inside, as said, this is NYJC Forum so I have the facts to state them here. Nothing wrong.
Seeing is believing, so I invite you to come down NYJC to see or made appointment to speak with the civics tutors. That's what I did.
C)Do visit NYJC Facebook as it is featuring the class of 2015 words of advice and thankful words.
D)Subject Combination.
- lessons started later where my kid can have longer rest as now sleep after 12 mid night due to school Work load.
From my child's timetable, lessons don't end much earlier as mentioned by others, there are 3 days that end 4-5pm.
If you take 2 H2 Sci subjects, timetable is longer as have Lab lessons compared to Art students. This apply all JCs timetable.
Breakdown of subject hours in a week by MOE:
- H2 subjects is 4.5 hrs
- H1 subjects is 2 hrs
Before choosing JC subjects, students are given the prerequisite of Local Uni entry( all JCs do that )
So students are aware the subjects they choose and how it will determine their choices of courses in Uni. You choose your eligible/strong subjects, be happy and hopefully can excel in them. If you don't choose the standard PCME/BCME Combi, but rather choose other Combi, then students are also aware what are the limited courses available to them in Uni. So no one is disadvantaged with the subject combination in NYJC.
What i have mentioned, to some they are nothing as many JCs are also doing that.
But im just sharing what so far my kid and I feel about NYJC. I'm not forcing any 1 to accept NYJC.
Thank you for reading.
Now you claimed NYJC's to be 31-32%. According to my niece who was present in the hall, this figure wasn't announced to them at all. Morever, the UAP of 81 is probably an estimate as no JC would have a perfect whole number as its UAP. If it is more than 81, it will be announced as 81.xx and hence her take is NYJC UAP is 80.xx.
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum ... &start=230
If its about 700, then can be 31.5....%
If its about 690.., then can be 32%. I'm not sure of the exact cohort size.
But the number of students with pass in GP is as it is, I don't wish to elaborate..
If you don't belief, please don't.
I delected earlier as only stating the UAP will do.
Here I stated as its NYJC forum. NYJC forum I can state more.
If you don't belief the figure, then please don't.
Your niece was there. You said UAP not mentioned by the P.
I'm going to say that I heard the Principal say its 81. Just 81 he said.
If all of you choose not to belief, then don't.
I don't know about the whole number or decimal point number.
P said only 1 whole number.
Ok, please ask your niece who was the teacher/ teachers involved in the released of A results inside the hall addressing the students before P went up stage?
Your niece should know if she inside hall. Please ask her.
I don't wish to pursue but I want people to know I was really inside hall.
I feel this is just for sharing forum. If you think you don't belief, then don't.
Don't need to be uptight. -
Also, I shouldn’t have mentioned about the other JC (reported by someone)UAP.
That I realized.
Just Ny UAP will do. -

Try to 'listen' and understand the contents of my post, and in future other posts, before jumping to conclusion in order to make yourself more credible in future.

Ok, you said the figure not announced to them right. Wish to add on by saying the announcer of the result is by the P , no one else, so I said earlier ' the UAP not mentioned by P' even though you never said it.
So can you ask your niece who the teacher/teachers involved?
Also, ask her what was the First presentation on the stage when the event started?
Ok ok, I listened to your advice of 'understanding the contents of people's post' in future...
So please ask your niece. -
It seems like you still do not get it. My niece said the 3H2 distinctions % wasn’t mentioned. You had already admitted it was an estimation on your part as you do not know the cohort size too. I did not say my niece did not hear about the UAP. She interpreted the UAP as a round-off figure. The actual UAP could be 80.xx. Do you understand now?
-
Crester, to put it bluntly, I have no doubt you were present in NYJC on the day the A level results were released although your kid is still in JC1 only. Why? Because you give me the impression of a very very super kiasu parent that is almost out of control.

Oh, I can get you.
So your niece heard the 81 UAP right? I didn't say wrongly right.
If she or others choose to take it as 80.. , then take it that way. What I wanted to say was the P announced 81. That's it.
Whether its 80.. or can 81... then P round off to whole num I really don't
I was there. I calculated the figures.
So please ask your niece about my questions to her. Thanks. -

Finally, you belief I was there.
Well, Im super ks. Its ok.
This is NYJC forum.
Lets not be like that. -

I understand your concerns as a parent about the discipline issue, but flexibility isn't always a bad thing. Hope I gave a clear big picture about nyjc though!
Thank you for sharing. For sure there are many parents who like their kids jcs to be flexible although I am an exception.
I was just a little disappointed as I had expected NYJC results to be better and closer to VJC based on its recent COP:
2014 COP of JC for 2015 JC1 admission:
NYJC (7/8) VJC (5/6) ACJC (6/7) TJC (7/8)
2015 COP of JC for 2016 JC1 admission:
NYJC(6/7) VJC (5/6) ACJC (7/7) TJC (9/9)
However, 2015 A level results are similar between NYJC, ACJC and TJC but all differ much from that of VJC. -
Crester:
Have I ever mentioned you were not 'there'? Being there and reporting the correct figures are separate issues. You seem to have problems with numbers and interpreting forummers' comments correctly. As someone had highlighted to you, read carefully before you conclude. You are representing NYJC in this forum.ParkYuni:
