SMC will not change, but if the staff happen to change, be sure to check out here: http://nanyangjc.moe.edu.sg/about-nyjc/our-key-personnel

Check from the link? :?

I was shocked to see only 2 physics teachers for nyjc before I realized that the list only shows the 'heads'. Why not show all teachers' names like acjc?

No need to be shocked! nyjc shows all their staff and photos on another part of their website under 'staff'.

Here is their science department: http://nanyangjc.moe.edu.sg/staff/academic-departments/science-department

Ohh...I see...so confusing for 'outsiders' such as mindays and myself...

While there are much staff's information and contacts exposed to public, I can't seem to find the jc's academic performance information which we are most interested in. Please guide. TIA.

Usually schools will not disclose these sensitive information easily unless they are thick skin enough to use it for publicity. Erm perhaps u might want to write in or just meet the relevant SHs during their open house coming Jan?


But from what I heard their results are quite competitive so should’t be a big issue bah IMO.

What do you mean by thick skin enough?
I see them as a way to applaud students and staff for their effort and at the same time provide information for the public to make better decision.

Anyway, schools cannot publish the full details so they will give results such as average UAP or % of 3 H2 or at least compare this year's performance to the previous year's. These are better than not giving any information as if the sch is not confident of revealing it's results.

I hope the SHs will disclose to me such information at open house. The leaders seem to be very secretive about them. I think they should share the news and not treat them as publicity.

If you do not use the information as publicity but simply to inform and applaud, you shouldn't feel guilty of harbouring ulterior motive when you share or think negatively when other jcs share theirs. Do you agree?

By not sharing their stats freely, more people will need to turn up at the open house to get the info. It will look very popular and boost potential applicants' confidence? :siam:

I could find it, it was not confusing for me. In fact, it is right under the \"Staff\" tab. It is your inability to find the necessary information and came with a misleading conclusion that it is not there. Really blur as your username?

By not sharing results does not mean it is secretive or not confident of sharing it's results. In fact, not all JCs share their results publicly. For example, ACJC and TJC. In fact, not many JCs share their detailed results. Why so? That's because MOE does not want parents to make use of results as the most important indicator to gauge a school's standard. MOE wants school to develop students HOLISTICALLY and not just ACADEMICALLY. You may be a book-smart student, but you may have no practical skills or character. What is the use then? Is it even purposeful?

In fact, NYJC fared well in the A Levels. For the recent 2015 A Levels:
Average UAP: 81
%Distinction for H2 Math: 65%
%Distinction for H2 Chemistry: 58.5%
%Distinction for H2 Physics: 45%
%Distinction for H2 Art: 100%

I remember vividly that TJC shared its 2015 A levels performance in its website, providing information on its % of 3H2, 4H2 etc shortly after the release of results. ACJC also posted information such as % of improvement on several subjects as compared to the previous year. NYJC had none.

Where did you get the above statistics of NYJC? They aren't officially published or even announced to the JC1 which I am aware so how reliable are they if the JC didn't want to commit itself. I understand the intention of MOE directive but parents need 'performance statistics' to decide upon their choices. Are having a caring principal, word of mouth, conducive environment. speculative figures etc sufficient? What will happen next year when the principal leaves?

mindays, your previous information about nyjc getting 65% distinctions for Project Work is not applicable now. Reliable sources have it that only 50-55% of pupils had gotten distinctions for 2015. But again, it wasn't officially announced and hence its reliability.

You understand the frustration of parents when every statistic needs to be dug from teachers?
