Dreamgear:

Its an open concept campus

Was wondering why the stadium is shared ?

Tot the school Shld have some track n field facilities instead of sharing with the public?

I’m guessing that the track and field belongs to Eunoia, as well as some of the facilities. Maybe only a small space caters to non-Eunoia usage…


Bishan already has a stadium near Junction 8…

This Friday, 13 jan : there is Eunoia Jc open house

Maybe can ask the Principal : which part of Eunoia Jc kept for own use, and which part to be shared for public use. And reason behind why like that

Near my place there is this Pek Kio CC which is co-located with Farrer Park Primary School. They share state-of-the-art facilities like a 200-seater performance theater, dance studios and indoor sports hall.


In this new era, I suppose this arrangement is necessary to optimise land use. So EJC students will probably get to enjoy Starbucks at Bishan North CC (like the one in Bishan CC) while allowing part of its facilities to be accessible by the general public.

Not just cafes, f&b or convenience store tenants (if any) but the reading/study rooms perhaps? They are necessary as there is only a McDs and some eateries at Amk-Bishan Park.


Sharing of hardware:

For years, many existing junior colleges and indept schools have been sharing (leased/thru booking) their hardware such as track and field, badminton courts and swimming pools with the public/private swim schools (ACE, Swim Fast, AQUATIC Masters). During certain permitted times of the day, you may see the elderly doing taichi or joggers at some JC stadiums. That said, I think that elevated stadium belongs to EJC and will be used mainly by EJC students during their school hours.

Great! Congratulations to you! I think you should post it in the Eunoia JC thread if you haven't.


IP students don't take SS. WRP is not really SS. They do take on modules like Cooking and Philosophy, according to my DS. But there is a large part of WRP that requires them to understand Political Systems of other countries and Contemporary China.

General Philosophy & Political Science esp that related to Contemporary China and United Nations 101 are pretty useful. Not sure if HCI DHS RV cover political systems under their internationalisation/world readiness programmes. I know RI has Philo.

Also not sure what exactly the 3 EJC feeder schools cover under WRP. If it's a fraction of what our bilingual govt scholars and officials are covering at Tsinghua, that would be great. Neither our Foreign minister nor Defence minster attended this public administration course run by Tsinghua. We need more leaders who understand Contemporary China.

Everything went smoothly for my dd's first day of school. The transport arrangement to shuttle the students to the school in the morning is really useful and convenience for those staying far away. No complain from her so far about the temporary campus and friends. She looked They can buy their uniforms starting from today.
