[

this will be 2nd year of NJC Sec 1 (2011). For a few years they only have sec 3 onwards

Correction needed. This coming year will be the 3rd year of nJC sec 1s (in 2011).

There is an existing group of jH2s who joined in year 2009 (approx 150).
The current jH1s for this year 2010 (around 190).

So from this year 2010, nJC is already operating as a full 6 year programme with the Junior high (year 1s to year 4s) being their Integrated programme students. no students will be taken in at year 3 now. maximum for each year's cohort will be capped at 250 from next year onwards.

thanks!

now that NJC is playing catch up by taking in sec 1, but the competition for students is tough[/quote]but they came to my ds' school for presentation and mentioned that students who are very good in any subject can accelerate in that subject and this attracted one of my ds' classmates (geper)...[/quote]

========================

what I meant is NJC is having tough time competing with other IP schools to attract those top students to join them because of its lack of SBGE. of course there is very few GEPpers to go around anyway (personal opinion hor)

vlim, i presume your ds is a GEPper

My ds kenna the same advice from two of the famous schools which Mathspark mentioned. Luckily not all top schools are like that, another top school gave him an offer for DSA and now he is with this school though his result could make it to the others, cos angry with them wat. I always think he may be in one of the first two schools now if he had waited till PSLE release.

:thankyou: mdmks for coming to my \"rescue\"..for confirming wat I heard; I definitely didn't cook this up; ask around and you'll come across many other cases. In fact I was so shocked with this advice given to mainstreamers that I still remember it 1 year later.

nobody alleges that u cook up anything larr...relac

what i heard was also directly from the principal in the Q& A because the boy who asked was scoring high 80s....whether he got in via DSA or not I am not sure, but surely the principal asked him to apply early

some months later I spoke to the principal again and got those details that I mentioned in this thread
