Yes NYJC doesn't divulge its results but it has uploaded the above U Tube vid about its Fanastic A Level results briefly.

Last year Nyjc had 31% with minimum 3 H2 Distinctions with pass in GP.
This year, Nyjc achieved a bigger improvement in this %.
But I wont post the % figure here as there will be people who will come here to stirr troubles after reading.
If you dont belief Nyjc has produced fanastic results then dont.
Please go to your liked JC Forum.
I have no time to start any discussion/debate.

You have no time to start any discussion but yet have time to come here to keep saying NYJC have \"fantastic\" results ? :scratchhead: .....Really scratching my head how \"fantastic\" these results are without any details.

I do not have any kid with NYJC, but I think we should really respect the NYJC school management for their decision to release or not to release their A level results, or how much to release.


You know, a certain JC gives description like \"close to 8 out of 10\" score distinctions for some H2 subjects, clearly to their advantage. How do you know, the \"close to 8\" may be 7.5? And these top JCs tend to publish only subjects/statistics which they did well, not those they fared not so well. For fair comparison, every JC should follow a standard template. Else, you really should just take these with a pinch of salt.

Do respect any JC's choice whether to publish any results, or how much to publish. And don't compare them.

This remind me of a story

Son : Mummy, i got fantastic results for my A level exams!

Mummy: Can you tell me what you got?

Son: I can't but you just have to believe i got fantastic result.

The class of 2016 gave a fantastic performance in the A Level exam.
An overall improvement of 14% as compared to last year results.
:congrats:

Parents who are keen to know in details can make appointment with the Principa/VP to meet up.

After much discussions here, genuine intetested people can decide for themselves what to believe n not believe in. So no disastrous as nobody forces one to opt Nyjc. There are other resources people can depend on to decide a JC other than reading in this Forum which has become questionable.
Its last year brief 2015 A level results being told here is true as I was in college on that day. The rest of the issues i dont know.

At first, I was impressed with this picture posted above. I thought it was the number of pupils who scored at least 3H2 distinctions for class of 2016 during the recent A level results release.

But when I visited the nyjc official website, the photo only comes with a congratulatory note to class of 2015/16. I roughly counted and estimated that there were more than 500 pupils or perhaps 700 of them when I enlarged the photo using my hp.

The scene was repeated in the video you shared. I believe it's the entire cohort of about 700 graduands as some boys were seen carrying their haversacks or slingbag with them. You may estimate the number using the 'row by column' method.

Crester, please comment if this is a group photo of the entire 2015/16 cohort or is this the photo of pupils who have outstanding results and were invited to the stage?

Note: Not that I want to 'stir trouble' or doubt nyjc's results as the intake is of good COP but the information posted here is sometimes misleading unless one scrutinizes....

I think your initial thought is right, ilovelaksa.
There's definitely a mistake in the facebook!
Ever see Honour Roll awardees carrying haversacks and slingbags up the stage to receive their awards?
Without any student milling around the supposedly busy hall, it suggests that the entire graduating cohort are Honour Roll awardees. How is that possible? :?
Or what is the standard of Honour Roll that 100% of the students can achieve?

I am quite puzzle...NYJC is one of the top JC and they already said they have performed well...why their reluctance to release even one bit of info...

I didn't know NYJC is one of the top JCs. I only know NYJC is a popular JC based on O level COP.

Agree with zbear.

Someone claimed NYJC improved by 14% this year. It's vague so I shall infer it to be the % of pupils who scored at least 3 H2 distinctions has improved by 14%.
Based on NYJC parent info, it was 31% in 2015. Hence 2016 batch should have 35% of pupils with at least 3 H2 distinctions.
VJC achieved 53% for 2016 batch.

In terms of COP:
VJC - 5(sci) / 7(arts)
NYJC - 6(sci) / 7(arts) - very close COP

In terms of % of pupils with at least 3 H2 distinctions:
VJC - 53%
NYJC - 35% - very different results

Hence it's not a top JC but simply a popular one.

Crester:

Nyjc has posted photos of their Top Honours students is 1 way of its fantastic A Level performance.

Is this a graduating cohort photo or a misleading honour roll awardees photo?

In NYJC website, the caption of the photo is simply 'Congratulations to class of 15/16'.
But facebook caption refers them as 'honour roll awardees'.
Crester, I give you the honour to investigate & clarify our doubts.

Hope all the nitpicking and bashing will stop.
When top JCs admit mostly top students, it is natural they will produce top notch results. It would never be a fair comparison for all JCs. We should applaud all students with good results, whether they come from top JCs or not.
