* Nanyang JC (NYJC)

roborovski:

Gentle reminder, mindays. You have mentioned that you were from VJC. Really? In this case, please don't tarnish vjc image by posing to be an nyjc diehard defendant with your harsh tones and poor attitude to flip discussions into arguments. Otherwise you are doing a great disservice to vjc.

Peace :xedfingers:

It looks like the pot calling the kettle black. Yes, Nil Sine Labore, Victorians will triumph the evil/.

KTKS has apologised, let this matter at rest. I don't think we should escalate it further.

Thank you.
It's your turn and also Crester's to apologise to me and I shall let the matter rest too. Read through all the posts from page 23 if you cannot recall.

Ah well, I am a magnanimous parent so I will not bear grudges against the 2 of you.
mindays, don't use strong words to any member in future. You have a bad habit of turning nasty if others can't see eye to eye with you.

crester, refrain from calling people fools or use uncouth words.
If you think my contribution to this forum will adversely affect how others view nyjc, I am flattered. Have confidence in nyjc. I have a feeling that you are worried about its popularity and cop next year based on your earlier posts before pg 21. In addition, we parents can only advise our dc about jc choices but they will still have the final say. I am not ruling out the possibility that my dc may join his friends to choose nyjc. They will not consider things like caring culture or new leader. To them, friends are the most important.

I don't think I have made any mistakes or ill remarks against anybody. In fact, I was clear to provide avenues of perspectives when you used phrases like \"guinea pigs\" to label prospective students. I felt that you didn't see the big picture of having new principals and hence made a post on it. If that's your definition of using strong words from page 23 onwards, then I shall rest my case and reserve my energy.

Yes, I agree that Crester may be a little uncouth but I don't think his/her intention was to reprimand you. Don't take it to heart (you said that you are magnanimous), I hope.

Btw as heard from my juniors there, they received their promos result slips yest.


Mr Kwek did confirm in his address that the new principal has agreed that current initiatives and measures will remain after he retire, and the direction of the college will not change, given a strong team of staff and students. He stated people is key Also mentioned is that NYJC, over the years had not, and will not publicly disclose academic performances extensively for the tendency to mislead parents and students. Idk the specifics but fm what my juniors mentioned is somewhat related to integrity or what (I didt follow up so...thats all I know bout dat).

So perhaps the way to know the academic performances shd be through direct contact with the school only I suppose. And parents I guess yall can be assured abt the new principal, at least for now.

Just being curious - why does NYJC give out the promo results slip so late when holidays have already started?

Is this the norm for NYJC?

OIC. I thought all JCs close before A level exams start.

I am just wondering - why is NYJC different from other JCs?

Anyway, thanks for info.

HCI's term for Year-5 ended before A Level exams started ? Wow, that was early !

RI's term for Year-5 will end next Friday, 25/11 (like NYJC). However, students do not need to go to school on days they do not have lectures.

Hello! Wonder if anyone can give insight on the average school bag load in nyjc (or any other jc ). Is it still going to be like secondary school where students have to lug a number of heavy textbooks to school ? Are laptops required ? Any lockers in nyjc ?
