* Eunoia JC (EJC)

I don’t think EJC is trying to ‘kick’ RIJI / HCJC or any other JCs in this thread and comparing herself with Top 5. The above discussion was obviously initiated by non-EJC parents. Do ilovekaksa, isetan. UBKmom, phtthp have kids @ EJC ?
@ Non-EJC parents… I think it’s unfair to set such high and unrealistic expectations of a new JC. Please stop making absurd remarks like EJC’s cop being 3-4 points and EJC ‘kicking out’ this JC or that JC. Don’t try to turn EJC forum into another NYJC forum, if that’s on your agenda.
We know that RI / HCI take in mostly GEPpers (top 1% of cohort) and top scorers from Mainstream (top 3% of psle cohort), while CHS/SNGS/SCGS take in top 10% of psle cohort. Who will produce better A Level results ?
(PS : GEPpers & MS top PSLE scorers from CHS(Pri) tend to choose RI over CHS IP).
@ EJC parents… Please don’t get drawn into the above absurd discussion, else EJC will be wrongly accused of ‘talking big’ without actual results / facts (yet). -

Sorry. I meant to say dark grey. Really smart looking. Apparently, the girls can choose to wear berms too if they wish[/quote]Seems like CHS boys cannot escape the 'fate' of showing off their hairy legs, even after leaving CHS and going on to JC. :evil:jetsetter:
[quote=\"EthanEthan\"]I really like the casual outfit of the school - black polo with brown bermudas.....really nice
brown bermudas? not grey? -
I think there is really not much harm for non parent to comment in EJC forum. Their tone so far is not like the "hard selling" posts we have in the NYJC thread.
I may not have a child in EJC but it is one one the college I am narrowing for my kid, so naturally my interest in this thread.
Just for information the COP for St Nicholas at 257 this year is not that far off from RGS at 261…so while it’s good to be humble, give credit when it is deserved -
Has anybody DD/DS been selected and called up by MOE for the Humanities Scholarship Interview ? How was it ?
Heard that there were a sizable group from EJC that was selected… -
I agree with iFirefly.
I am sure there are quite a no. of students from the 3 primary schools (CHS/SNGS/SCGS) who did well for PSLE, and could have gone to any of the Top Sec Schools (RI, RGS, HCI, NYGS) but chose to stay on in their respective Sec schools as they are familiar with them and also becoz they love the culture.
If we go to the MOE website and search under school info, we can see the highest and lowest t-score that got into each of the 3 IP school. The highest t-score are in the 270s ie there are students who did very well and chose to come to these 3 schools.
My DS’s t-score also allowed him to go to all schools except RI, but he chose to go back to CHS for the culture and familiarity, & most importantly the cameraderie. He has classmates who are also 260s.
I am sure the 2 girls school also has similar stories to tell.
So for those who do not have kids going to EJC, please understand that EJC is not trying to compete nor kick others out, but it has enough good students to hold itself up and its main aim is to create & preserve its valuable school culture. -

I just want to clarify my position: I am just stating what I observe in the various JC threads, and hoping to discourage such empty talk that draw sparks and cause dissatisfaction. I have no idea whether post comes from EJC or non-EJC parent, and have no intention to offend!So happening in JC threads nowadays:
- NYJC 'kicking' EJC in its thread and comparing with TJC, DHS and RVHS
- EJC 'kicking' RIJC / HCJC in its thread and comparing with top 5
Why need all these 'talk big' and prediction? All these talks without actual results yet are just empty talk. Let the actual results show itself then talk facts!
Maybe time to :siam: JC threads now........... -

Frankly, I thought you could have put forth your point in a nicer tone. Your concluding sentence \"All these talks without actual results yet are just empty talk. Let the actual results show itself then talk facts! \" seems a bit harsh, especially with the exclaimation mark at the end of your sentence. It seems you are just shouting out loud.

To put things in perspective, what the parents are discussing here are nothing compared to what is discussed in the NYJC thread.
The people here are discussing and hoping that EJC will one day displace the top JCs if possible. There is nothing wrong with having big dreams, right ? Even our children have their own big dreams..
On the other hand, in the NYJC thread, there were very blatant attempts at putting down other JCs by citing unsubstantiated statistics..... -

Actually the boys can wear long pants with polo if they wish to.
Just like the option for girls to pair their polo with skirt or berms, the boys can wear either pants or berms with their polo.
My boy says that most of them still prefer the berms though
-
My boy is in berms all the time too

:? Wondering why need the 'kicking'' among the JCs? Every JC has its own merit and emphasis. As mentioned by the principal of EJC in the Straits Times, quoted \"The school, set to welcome first batch this year, will stress values, not elitism\". From here, we can see that the emphasis is not solely on the academic results. The basis for comparison is different. Thus, it is not necessary to wait for the actual results to prove. This is my personal view.So happening in JC threads nowadays:
