* Nanyang JC (NYJC)

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 ?

Nope, there are no textbooks in JC. Topical notes are written and compiled by lecturers. Students then purchase them from the college's bookshop as a class when the required notes are ready. Hence, for students who pack their bag and bring only the required materials, the bag will be quite light.

Laptops are not required, but I highly recommend having it for PW and for studying. It is not necessary to bring laptops to school unless PW lesson requires it. If you do not have a laptop, you may borrow it from the college when you need it and return by the end of that day. For those who can't afford laptops or do not have computers at home, NYJC lends laptop that you can bring home and will only need to return at the end of the year (if I recall correctly).

Lastly, there are lockers that can be rented at a fee. However not many students need one.

Ah I see. Thank you !
