* Nanyang JC (NYJC)
-
- vjc has stated in its term 4 letter to parents that parents can view promo exam results after 16/10( go and read that term 4 letter)
So what are those people going to say ah?
If you ( yes You) really have a NYJC mum frd, tell us NYJC ’ After Promo Exam Timetable’ schedule like - what’s the First Day schedule like?
I hv the timetable . I Dare u.
NYJC has not released the Promo
exam result.
- NYJC initiated to coach my gal 1-1 in H2 subj. Show a Culture of Care and Support. I didn’t say in JC there will b no stress at all.
- Mr Low has a rich educational background and previous posting as VP in NJC. Why just focused him as P of Manjusri Sec. What’s wrong with the sch. Don’t discriminate.
Mr Kwek was P of North View Sec before taking over Anderson Sec and pushed up ASS ranking to Top 10.
- I was in NYJC hall when A level results was released this yr.
It’s H2 Maths Dist rate is 65%.
Minday is right.
You people are just jealous of NYJC.
Go and enrol yr child in RI lah. Too free and always hog NYJC Forum. -

jetsetter:
We are all aware that different schs in Singapore have differing 'standards' of leaders and teachers no matter how MOE tries to bridge the gap or brush that aside. That's the real reason why I am skeptical about changes. I have not insisted that things 'will' happen negatively if you have noticed. I am sure principals and teachers have seen worse from parents of existing students than to brood over some comments from KSP parents.mindays:
Some of you have PM me privately, but I think I will respond to you in this post.To clarify, I was from Victoria Junior College (VJC) not Nanyang JC, some of my colleagues have their DDs and DSs in NYJC (J1s and J2s). That is how I know about the things in NYJC. My purpose is to defend the truth and I am not taking sides on any matter
But are you an NYJC parent, NYJC ex- or present staff? Chief should give u a \"Good Samaritan\" medal for defending this JC.
I don't know if you've noticed some parents, who are persistently critical and cynical about NYJC, probably knew each other since their PLMGS days. Their dc probably went on separate ways after PSLE/O levels. I believe some dc could be in feeder schools to EJC, others in AJC, TJC, VJC or ACJC.
The feud started when another former PLMGS parent, Crester, posted something about NYJC P's claim at one briefing that his college's UAP was 81 or sth, thereby incurring the wrath/jealousy or triggering the skepticism of parents of dc (or alumni) who possibly went to those JCs whose COP or UAP had been surpassed by NYJC after A levels 2015. This is my understanding of this entire 9-mth long quarrel.
9 mths on, I'm appalled to read sarcastic comments about the outgoing P as well as newly appointed P (who hasn't even come onboard!). Mr Low has been dragged thru the mud(slinging) due to some ksps' personal vendetta and prejudices, hasn't he? Why was his present sec school dissed as well? Why was \"buddhist school\" even highlighted by one parent? How is religion relevant and how does it impact on MOE's posting/rotation of Ps?
Mr Low's last school may not be a \"branded school\". Nor was he a Cluster Superintendent, but didn't you guys take a moment to peruse his credentials per the Linkedin link provided by 1 ksp? He was a former teacher from Chinese High (elite?) and later a VP from National Junior College (branded?).
I reckon from his CV he is rather young, and has spent several years upgrading himself in Oz and China (not part-time but full-time overseas), so perhaps his career progression was slower compared to the others in the P rotation table posted above? Perhaps MOE requires Ps to take a certain fixed career pathway before giving them a higher posting, e.g. posting to a neighbourhood sec school as P for priming first? Did you guys run a reality check on those other so called better JC Ps' career pathways? Did they once start with some lesser known sec schools first too, like Mr Low? Seriously, we don't know MOE's promotion criteria, each P's CPE, so it's best we don't judge Ps by their last posting. It's just not fair to Mr Low.
FYI, I know some of Mr Low's friends (but he does not know me lah) and if u ask me, I think he's the perfect fit for NYJC which offers the Chinese elective programme. Mr Low was from 华侨中学、华初、国大 （本科中文系）、北大（硕士）。

I wonder if the 2 Ps will be hurt after reading all your comments. Maybe Mr Low was hurt after reading KTKS' comments, as such he posted this on his Twitter on 24 Oct.
https://hbr.org/2016/10/the-one-type-of-leader-who-can-turn-around-a-failing-school. (PS: Leeton could be Mr Low?)
I'm sure NYJC staff and teachers will be very hurt too, questioning what they'd done to deserve lashings from anonymous parents who obviously have zero genuine interest in NYJC. May I suggest to those parents who doubt the std of NYJC to stay away from this institution. Enrol your dc instead in others such as RI. It's rather near NYJC (served by Circle line).
MOE should know the real reasons behind this unexplained, relentless and unjustifiable lampooning of NYJC and their staff.
For lucky parent like you, Jetsetter, whom I believe has never had bad experience with errant teacher and protective principal over his staff, you won't empathize with us. (Your kids in 'branded' schools, Jetsetter?)
Anyway I would like to apologise to Mr Low and the staff of nyjc for any misunderstanding wrt comments I made earlier if they happened to read KSP and were affected by them.
Indeed, I have nothing to do with nyjc except for eyeing it as a potential jc for my dc and speaking my mind with my imagination of possible negative changes.
I am sure he will lead nyjc to greater heights as stated by Mr Kwek in his Straits Times interview. :rahrah:
As for the part on 'Buddhist', I have removed that comment too. Earlier, I was worried that he might unintentionally share/introduce some religious teachings but I guess I was over-sensitive. He's an educator after all. I've seen things from a more positive light after speaking to friends who have connections with nyjc although I am still skeptical to changes.
Here's wishing all nyjcians good luck and a fruitful and enjoying time with Mr Low. :grphug: -
EpicReborn:
I was a little too playful in sec 2 and I got 59 for math. But the school's requirement was 60. Even though I appealed, the outcome was still the same. I would like to pursue engineering when I go to uni and h2 math is a must.[/quote]Jetsetter, don't you think MOE should look into issues such as the above experienced by EpicReborn who should have been given a second chance?
May I know what your reason is for not taking A math in O levels but wish to pursue H2 math in JC?ParkYuni:
[quote=\"EpicReborn\"]I am currently in secondary 4 and my goal is to join NYJC. I do not have amath and would really like to take h2 maths... I went for amath tuition so I have knowledge of the subject too
So is it possible to take h2 math in NYJC in this scenario? :?:
From my friend's DD's experience, it's not possible to take H2 maths in NYJC if you do not take or fail A maths in O levels. In fact, you will not qualify for Science stream in any JC if you do not do A maths.
FYI, NYJC has a very small group of pupils doing H1 maths and it is quite demoralising for friend's DD to be one of the odd ones.
Instead, you are 'threatening' parents here by bringing in MOE on an issue concerning the thoughts of ksp about possible changes to a school due to new appointment by MOE.
You are also belittling Mr Low's confidence in his leadership by exaggerating his feelings towards some comments posted in this thread and possibly underrating the emotional stability of nyjc staff.
Perhaps Mr Low is more upset that there isn't much sign of welcome by the existing students and parents in this forum. Instead, much positive information had been posted about the current principal and the achievements he has brought to nyjc.
My question is: Is it possible that none of the nyjcian parents are upset about the departure of Mr Kwek and totally embrace the new principal without a second thought? At least we are honest enough to express our doubts which Mr Low can assume as constructive 'criticisms' if he would ever visit this forum.
As much as you see that mindays have an interest over nyjc, I feel the same goes for you. Oh yes, you do. You have friends who know Mr Low personally. We all have some kind of connections or interests on things we support or oppose to.
Do give others space to voice their views. -
Crester:
Jetsetter, if you are a good samaritan, please be impartial and report this member to the administrator for verbal abuse in public. An apology should suffice. No need bring in relevant authority.
Candyfan,candyfan:
Nyjc released their jc1 promotion result today as told by friend. PW oral starts tomorrow and I wonder why they released the news today. Friend's DS' class has one retainee. Is the jc trying to boost the morale of the majority who passed the promotion at the expense of those who failed? How does nyjc expect its retainees to put aside the bad news and brave the very important exam tomorrow or on the next couple of days?
Hope friend's DS' info is wrong. Nyjc can't be this cruel.
Please don't stir shit abt NY released JC1 result today!
My gal is in NYJC and the released of JC1 result is not today, ok. Its 15th.
NYJC students have been going back to school for the past weeks to rehearse OP with NY tutors.
You heard friend say....ya sure. Only fools belief you.
I wont reply to your reply too. Waste my precious time only. -
Crester:
Jetsetter, this one has even more prominent verbal abuses, and making presumptions and wrongful interpretations, twisting views of others and drawing his own conclusions to get back at other members at the expense of the new principal and nyjc staff.I'm back.
I had disappeared as I wanted to see how my gal is coping in NYJC before sharing in this thread.
Briefly, NYJC teachers have been very helpful, my gal is not doing well in 1 H2 subject and her NY tutor took the effort to give her 1-1 coaching. Other jcs tutors may also do that but we are talking abt NY here.
For more sharing, interested parents can drop me a PM as \"those keen NYJC parents will come in to criticize my sharing.\"
Next issue, we have been too nice to those non-interested NYJC parents. Other than Mindays, hey you non-interested NYJC \"parents or students\" got nothing better to do in yr daily lives but just keeping appearing here for what..
Regard the new P from Manjusri Sec. Whats wrong with Manjusri Sec ah? You parents (yes you know who you are), please don't pretend to be concerned abt NYJC fate under the new P. You parents only want to spread fear that under new P, NYJC will fall.
When AJC, SAJC, TJC,JJC changed new P early this year, why none of you appear to show concern?
Oh just because NYJC new P is from Manjusri Sec is it. What kind of parents are you telling your kids that neighbourhood Sec P is not good enough or better be worried. Don't discriminate against such school, ok. Dont pretend to show concern.
Under the new P, why would things be different, fools? You mean like all hell breaks loose kind?
The current efficient VPs are still around to support the new P. Give up on those parents( if they are even parents).
Next, 1 fool said NYJC teachers will relax or change under the new P. Don't undermine NYJC teachers and shows respect, ok fool. What right you have to put such uncall words abt NYJC teachers.
FYI, NYJC teachers have already planned the academic programmes for next year JC2 level. My gal received the programme schedules for certain subjects.
I pity your children having such \"parents\" who kaypo abt NYJC yet not keen in NYJC. These people lives only revolve spreading bad news abt NYJC. Pathetic.
1 of them (yes you )said with the new P, no more keen in NYJC. So be it, then don't opt for NYJC. Nobody begs you to choose NY. Get Lost!
Another fool parent said NYJC doesn't divulge its results. I don't mind that. I can get the results from the NY teachers. If you think too troublesome to ask, that's your own problem.
NYJC doesn't show its results in web site but it has been producing commendable A level results like UAP of 81 points in this year A level exam. I was in NYJC hall when this year A level was released.
Other than results which is impt, there are students/parents who choose a JC based on other factors.
NYJC has been awarded the BEST 5 Practises Awards and other Awards by MOE recently (refer to school web site).
So to those fools, get out of this Forum!
People have eyes to see and decide for themselves abt NYJC. Dont come and stir shit.
I will not reply to those fools' replies. I'm sure they will appear. Dont want to waste my time.
p/s: Crester mentioned someone posted \" someone said NYJC teachers will relax or change under the new P\".and \"What right you have to put such uncall words abt NYJC teachers\". Can please direct me to those post(s) that specifically mentioned these? If not, Crester is liable for wrongly interpretation and false accusation. -
roborovski:
I realised this post written by crester was directed at me. Indeed, those highlighted phrases aren't my thoughts but more of crester's personal interpretations and thoughts. Don't put words into my mouth. I posted my opinions based on past experiences I had with principal(s) and teacher(s):

Dc's friend injured himself during PE and a staff came by to pray for him. She did it spontaneously and out of concern even though she's in a secular school. Personally, I felt disturbed. I stated that Manjusri is a Buddhist school, as pointed out by jetsetter, because if you go to the school website of Manjusri you can see much widespread of Buddhism. I was just worried that the principal is a very religious person at that moment.
As for the matter on how teachers may change, well we are human beings. I had experiences with teachers who were very passionate about teaching during their first few years in their career but once gotten married and had kids, and as they need to devote more time for their families, they weren't as committed as before. It's understandable and acceptable to me. I was citing the possibility of changes in people when/if opportunities arise in general.
I have no control on how you want to interprete my posts but I believe I have made myself clear. -
jetsetter:
Can you enlighten me about MOE taking note of ksp criticisms? :evil:I'll be kaypoh one last time: MOE has taken note of the above criticisms. Hence this article on 31 Oct to bring justice to both current and new NYJC Ps!
http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/principal-philosophy-of-teachingput-kids-first
Didn't any of those parents read this? All diam diam?
How does it relate to that article?
Since when are Straits Times reporters under MOE?
I shall send an email to clarify with MOE whether it's true that whenever it detects doubts from public about the capability of a staff as compared to another more experienced one, it will treat it as 'criticism' and contact The Straits Times to interview his staff so as to generate favorable publicity. Is that what you mean, jetsetter?
Did anyone criticize the current principal such that justice must be brought?
I don't see how that article could bring justice to the new principal when the interview was focused on the current one? On the contrary, I feel that its content will only put more pressure on the new principal. -
