I am not joining in this war of debate but rather to bring justice to the students in the photo.
The photo in the FB and school website is indeed ALL students that are in the HONOURS ROLL (students scoring 3As to 7As). A total of about 260 students score at least 3 distinctions in 3 H2 and a pass in GP. It is NOT the 2016 cohort photo for the school. How can a cohort of about 750 J2 students be housed on the small stage ??

Why the students bring their bags along ? Because they gathered in the Hall and run up the stage to hand-shake with the 2 principals (ex and current) then after they will go out of the Hall to collect their result slips. Do you think the kids will remember to remove their bags, caps before dashing up the stage ? They are all jumping with joy already...

Next question to pop up with be \"How do you know this ? What proof do you have ?\"
Answer is : I was in the Hall when they announced the results.

Well, you can choose not to believe this if you still doubt in NYJC performance, so be it.

Have a nice day.

Hallo, me too.
I believe you! Congratulations to Nanyang JC. It's a great JC from all the comments I hear fm nb n friends. Good teachers, strong school spirit, down2earth students ....
To me, ALL jcs are good. I am hearg from my ds' platoon mates, so many exceptional results from so many diff JCs.
If one works hard, he/he can score in any JCs/institute.

Why should I risk exposing my privacy in FB for a mistake (intentional or unintentional) made by NY (official)? It's the defender's job to clarify. I am not sure if they will clarify my doubts anyway.

You are the one who wants to find out whether it is a mistake, so are you not the source of the question? I believe if you control your tone and ask questions in a more pleasing manner, NY (Official) will be more than happy to respond to you.

In any case, what I feel matter most is how much the school value adds its students and if MOE did not scrap its policy to present awards to JCs which value add, we will get to see how well a school can mould the next generation

Another channel is for NY to show more statistics but somehow it is more secretive than other JCs in the same league of COP.

More secretive than other JCs? Most JCs did not even release detailed statistics apart from a few statements such as \"improvement\". In fact, they were vague in the release of results, and that include NYJC, along side with SAJC, TJC, ACJC, NJC, MJC, SRJC, TPJC etc. What does this show? If that's the case, how will you interpret ACJC's A level performance? To me, congratulating all the A level graduates will be the most warm gesture.

hi,

I understand that the whole cohort of NYJC is around 1800, so presumably 900 for each level. Could someone enlighten me how many places can be offered through DSA out of the 900? Does MOE impose a limit (%tage) like secondary schools?

Thank you.

If I am not wrong, each graduating cohort will comprise close to 670 students (assuming that 700 intake every year, minus 30 or so retainees). Approximate though. For DSA, MOE allows a fixed percentage of DSA students that can enter a JC, that includes NYJC. If I were to estimate, each JC should be capable of accepting 5 to 10% of DSA students

Btw, why should NYJC even compare itself with IPJCs? IPJCs consist of the top10% of PSLE students, but NYJC only takes in the rest of the O level track students with 6/7 points (not to mention some might have come in after the deduction of \"L1R5 bonus points\" for CLEP, affiliation and HMT).


With this sort of limitation, it is perfectly understandable NYJC can never hit 50-60% AAA/A, unlike IPJCs.

.

I think this comparison was started by minday who claimed that NYJC result is better than some of the IPJC.

Be definite, don't think. It is unjust to discriminate or prejudice on non-IP JCs when it comes to results. Such stigma is a taboo and it is very discouraging for students. At the end of the day, it is equitable that all JC students have to take the final battle of A level. In fact NYJC's results may be comparable to IP JCs like TJC and even RVHS, probably NJC too. What I am saying is that not all IPJCs are more superior than non-IP JCs. Whatever your intention is, finding a school that suits one's style is one of the most important criterions in selecting a JC.

260/750 is around 35%!

Solve the percentage question!!!
Thank you for the info!!!!

:congrats:

I doubt the cohort size is 750. Every intake is approximate at 700 students. After subtracting the retainees, my final estimate will probably be 670 students or so. To be prudent, a cohort size of 700 students can be used in calculation.

Wow. Did not know that NYJC result is now good to be on par with RVHS and even NJC

NJC has puplished their details. Care to share NYJC's details?

Surely you will not deprive us the joy of seeing NYJC equally fantastic results?
