* Nanyang JC (NYJC)

KTKS:
Yes, I do understand your concern. Perhaps they will reveal their 2015 results during their open house. I remembered a joke about NYJC PW: Tell yourself, out of the 3 people, 1 of you will get B. If you don't want to be the odd one, you would better start gearing up. Hahahamindays:
Oh and yes! I remembered that in NYJC, there's no such thing as people getting C or lower for PW. The poorest grade is a B. It has been this case since X years ago
PW comprises of the written individual projects, group project and individual oral presentation, if I am not wrong. Something might go 'wrong' for the individual. Among all the JCs I know, namely VJC, ACJC, PJC, SRJC and TJC, there is always a small percentage of pupils getting C yearly in each of those JC. It is quite impressive of NYJC not to have anyone getting C for the past years.

That is an outright irresponsible post by our dear forummer 25HMOM.
1.) Please define the statement of having almost the same A level results. Any clear evidence to prove? Distinction rates? UAP?... If yes, please justify. If no, you have confused many with your downright unaccountable statement.
2.) Standard of teaching. What do you mean? Will you kindly elaborate on that? That is a point without head and tail. Yet another undefined statement.
3.) Thank you for being such an IRRESPONSIBLE forummer that should be booted out before any serious tragedy happen. How on earth is 2015' s COP related to 2015 A LEVEL RESULTS? Are you trying to say that the new J1s in 2016 will take their A levels in the same year. This is pretty hilarious and I know i shouldn't scorn you for that. But.... So, to CORRECT you, the 2015 A LEVEL RESULTS are based on students who got in via 2013's JAE. ACJC: 6 SCI, NYJC: 7 SCI, TJC 7 SCI.
4.) Do you know that you are speculating about NYJC not being a highly value added school? Please give us statistics to substantiate your point. If not, your post is baseless and is not backed up with SUFFICIENT CONCRETE EVIDENCE to JUSTIFY.
5.) It is proven that your post is untrue of facts.mindays:
I have heard from alumni who graduated from NYJC, all of them said it was about 65%. You may want to visit their open house in 2017 and ask them about their statistics, hopefully they will share
Thank you. May I know if NYJC would announce its PW distinction rate in the past but not for the 2015's batch?KTKS:
[quote=\"mindays\"]
From what I know, NYJC's PW has been consistent in their results. Their distinction rate is about 65%. I do not know the 2015 JC1 cohort's performance. Usually, colleges do not release such information.
How do you know it was 65% since you mention colleges usually do not release such information please?
EDIT: On a side note, I don't think NYJC ever reports its A level results, much less for PW. Schools such as RI and HCI usually post their results though.[/quote]KTKS:
Thank you. I have heard of less than 40% PW distinction rate for the 2015 batch so I was trying to confirm with you. Does NYJC share its A level results during the open house? It is difficult for both parents and students to make decision if they do not have facts and statistics, IMHO.

mindays, I thought you had declared a few months ago that you weren't a supporter of any JCs. Now you appear to be an ex-NYJC pupil by sharing so passionately about NYJC hearsay results, including an 'internal' joke that is obviously known only to its own pupils!
It's ridiculous that any non-top JC can be spared of a C grade in PW. SEAB should step in and check.
From your much earlier 'lectures' to forummers, it's utterly wrong to draw such conclusions like you did as you are misleading the readers by giving hearsay information without concrete evidence.
What a pot calling the kettle black... :roll:
Don't you need to apologise to the public as you told me to?
And why do you have reservation admitting that you were from NYJC? Because you knew that your violent behaviour is not acceptable? -

Oh well, did you read my post in great detail? I have said \"I have heard from alumni...\" Do you know what that means? So let's say you know about something else, does that mean that you are involved in the matter? Does that mean I am from NYJC? Knowing an internal joke makes me an ex-NYJCian? So now you know of the joke, are you from NYJC then? You got to watch your words.
It is terribly wrong of you to assume that I am from NYJC or trying to support NYJC! For that, I demand u to apologise to me.
As I know the results of NYJC from alumni of that college, they brought up the joke to me. I share with our dear forumers here but unfortunately, a fellow here seems to doubt my credibility. It's alright. I understand your insecurities.
Did I not mention to check with the college itself? Well, at least I didn't pass an ultimatum.
\"A non-top JC\" - indeed a stereoptype by this person here. Look at his/her objectivity. No doubt, this person is absolutely reliable and helpful!! A moment of silence for him/her.
Please call SEAB by all means. As I have said, check with NYJC. From my sources, I shall repeat again, there is no student who \"acheived\" a grade C or lower for PW, at least for the past 3 years. It will affect none of us. From this, it tells us that the PW teachers there are committed. It may be hard for some to believe, just like believing that a full head of human hair is strong enough to support 12 tons. It is up to an individual.
Oh and I heard that Temasek JC's PW's distinction rate is about 50%. So, according to your theory, I am from TJC now. And if u r going to rebutt saying that my data is unreliable, I will say, confirm it yourself. Don't pass useless comments or posts that disturb the community.
I thank u on their behalf.
From my post, I do not incite any hate language. But if a rat is seen trying to cause trouble to the public, I think I should try my best to exterminate it. -
Hi everyone, anyone has a comparison between NYJC and SAJC? In terms of acads, culture, teachers, results, system etc thanks

SAJC vs NYJC
Science: 9 vs 6
Arts: 9 vs 7
From what I know, SAJC's academic standard used to be (10 years ago) on par with NYJC. Currently, NYJC is very much ahead of SA. I heard that there was one year that SA's PW distinction rate is about 35%. Students in SA did complain about teachers not helping the students, but that should be quite some time ago. SA and NY are good JCs, given that their cut-off-points for Science and Arts for JAE 2016 are single digit. Both JCs are not bad in the Science and Arts Stream.
As for culture, SA has a more Anglican culture where there will be chapels. It has a Christian environment. In NY, there is no religious culture. In SA, I heard that the students play hard. You may want to take a look at their school compound and observe. Notice the field. I would say the students are warm and friendly. In NY, students are very amicable. NY focuses more on the culture of care. The students in NY are treated like a gem. Especially the principal puts emphasis on the students' welfare and well-being. I would say, both JCs have good culture.
*There was once I took a train from Dakota to Serangoon and then to Boon Keng on a weekday morning. I saw a few NYJC students studying on the train. Of course a few RJC students were also flipping their notes when I was on the train. When I switched to the North East Line, I saw a couple of SAJC students too. Some of them were using their phones, listening to music.
Teacher wise, both JCs should be the same. But I must recognise that NY teachers are all very committed and will always strive to help the students in whatever way they can. You may want to ask around or any alumni, I believe they will say the same thing. I heard from my friend that the teachers there will go an extra mile for the students.
In terms of A level results, NY will have an upper hand. For Sports results, SAJC is very strong in Rugby. The boys train very hard and usually meet their opponent: ACS boys. For NYJC, their latest 2016 Sports Results are
Badminton (Boys) - 4th
Badminton (Girls) - Top 6
Basketball (Boys) - 4th
Basketball (Girls) -Top 8
Judo - 5 individual Bronzes
Soccer - Top 8
Squash (Girls) - 5th
Table Tennis (Boys) - Runner-up
Table Tennis (Girls) - 4th
Tennis (Girls) - Top 6
Volleyball (Boys) - Runner-up
Volleyball (Girls) - Champion
SAJC has no late days whereas NYJC has. School starts at 8.30am for NYJC, 50 minutes later than SAJC which starts at 7.40am.
Affliated Schools to SAJC (Cutoff points for express year 2016)
1. Anglican High School: (240)
2. Christ Church Secondary School (199)
3. Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School (232/200(affliation))
4. Presbyterian High School (233)
5. St. Andrew's Secondary School (245/189 (affliation))
6. St. Hilda's Secondary School (229/188 (affliation))
7. St. Margaret's Secondary School (244/200 (affliation))
Affliated Schools to NYJC (Cutoff points for express year 2016)
1. Chung Cheng High School (Main): (239)
2. Chung Cheng High School (Yishun): (237)
This will give us a rough guide of the students who may make up largely of the JCs. And notice the affliation portion for SAJC, because a majority of students who enter the sec school, enter via that route. -

JMHO, SAJC has a more vibrant culture suitable for the more independent learners. The students are generally more sporty and are being treated like young adults. The environment is also less competitive and stressful.
As for NYJC, the principal displays a very chinese fatherly figure and hence is more protective of its students. They are treated more like secondary school kids whereby there will be many tests conducted throughout the year to make sure they study consistently. Less emphasis is placed on its CCA. Thus they are deemed more studious and dependent. A friend's kid in NYJC was shocked that his friends' parents were robed in to purchase their school uniform, at his age.
If you prefer your DC to be more independent and all-rounded at this age, SAJC will be a better choice. But if you prefer your DC to be well guided like in secondary school and academic result is all that matters, NYJC will be the one. -

I do not think this information plays an important role in this discussion as students are admitted into JCs based on merits. There are many who thrive in secondary schools despite getting poor PSLE results.

For NYJC, students are from more than 80 different secondary schools. Thus there are many students from neighbourhood secondary schools in NYJC too. -
mindays:
My opinion is that for a mission school such as sajc, the emphasis is usually on balancing character building with academics; whereas in a school with more traditional chinese culture such as nyjc, there will be more emphasis on academic performance and jc's reputation (é¢å). An nyjc student I know thinks that the teachers are generally strict and fierce and the constant tests are wearing out her enthusiasm in studies & so she does not think that she's being treated like a gem. She thinks there is no life in nyjc and she is being tortured to glorify the jc with excellent A level results & not empowered to learn at her own schedule though she is an independent 5-pointer. It has to depend on what the parents and pupils value in the jc.
As for culture, SA has a more Anglican culture where there will be chapels. It has a Christian environment. In NY, there is no religious culture. In SA, I heard that the students play hard.

MyMelborne, perhaps over-protection is a double-edged sword. -

While what you say is true, bear in mind the students from these neighbourhood sec schools comprise of the top students there. It's like a gathering of talents from 80+ schools. Imagine most of them getting 7-8 distinctions in O level, the students there are ppl with distinctions
