Mine also have his new CAFE CCA already. I think should be starting this week, but he has been busy with rehearsals for his own CCA almost everyday this week, so I'm not sure if he actually *ponteng* his CAFE cca.

Hi,


Today I took my ds to the JH school tour. He seems interested in the school. Told him that I would take him to SOTA this Sat and he refused to go!!! So I think NJC is his choice but I have absolutely no idea if he would ever get in.

Ask him to keep an open mind, lah.

Not really, HCI has its own Integrated boarding programme. But that one's expensive and not compulsary.

Hi all, sorry I am just back to this site after a long break and suddenly notice so many people response to my query, a big :thankyou: to all.

Pls allow me to clarify, am I right to say that at NJC, all students will have a equal chance to experience the highly subsidized boarding program? It is part of their program? Whereas in HCI boarding programe is only open to certain students and to join volunteering need to pay a lot? I am keen at NJC due to the gov rate as I am unsure how long I can support the expensive independent school fee. One more question about NJC,pls. what is the population of primary GEP students there like? Do they have a seperate program?

I only know that JH1 has one term of compulsory boarding which is in Term 4. But no idea what's in the package. Hv not seen the place either. Only know it is 2 to a room.

If your child is a GEPer and he gets promoted to Sec GEP, his fees are highly subsidized up to $2400 per year. If does very well in PSLE, he is entitled to EESIS which also subsidized up to $2400 per yr. Each child only 1 form of subsidy. The Raffles schs are the most expensive and parents would need to pay abt $100 per month after subsidy. However there is financial help available. For the other indept schs, fees are much lower and you end up paying abt the same as the govt sch if your son qualifies for GEP promotion/ EESIS.

That is, fees should not be a detering factor. Choose the school that best suit your child.
