* Eunoia JC (EJC)
-
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..... -
Seems like CHS boys cannot escape the 'fate' of showing off their hairy legs, even after leaving CHS and going on to JC. :evil:[/quote]
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:

Sharon Au seem more loyal to EJC than her alma mater HCJC.
phtthp: ochre and orange ones were in the old series. SNGS alumnae Sharon Au and styleXstyle designers gave their inputs and refined the designs later.
