HYTam86:

Just heard from my niece that her cohort is not interested in graduation prom night this year. She said dat the CT reps were told only around 40 to 50 people going, and the classes were planning for chalets only after everyone finished their A levels. Tho one thing she say the thing is too expensive (she mentioned their prom is $90 when other JCs like HCJC had theirs at $60 at Gardens by the Bay)


Is it legit? Its the first time I am hearing something like this in this generation, so hardworking and reckoning till laidat...

It will be a shame if they were to miss prom. Although there were no such prom in my generation, I would really encourage our DCs to go for them, since it is a one in a life time thing after all. Maybe they will have a change of plans? :xedfingers: $90 seems a little pricey to me but could it be other factors that contribute to the higher costs? Maybe the venue, hosts, activities, food etc. Do you happen to know where's the venue for NYJC's prom?

Is it the 5 star Fairmount Hotel? http://www.fairmont.com/singapore/ Near Bras Basah? It would be quite worth the $90 if it is held there.

Financial background of NYJC. Over 3 million in balance, looks like the school is really rich

Perhaps dat wasnt what the students are looking out for? Guess the sch shd have done smthing abt it given it is quite a big sunk cost to book such venue :moneyflies:

Tbh actually if the students enjoyed thr 2 yrs in JC and had forged lasting friendships, den going without a legit prom event dont really matter much le (dats our mentality back den). If dats how the students r looking at it den dats really commendable le... nowadays not easy to find so many young people having such realistic mentality le.

Those who join Nanyang JC in first year (JC1) : how do they assign JAE students, into various classes ?


Is it based on O-level score entry for L1R5 (e.g. : all the 6-pointers form 1 class), or is it just randomly mix them all up, regardless of what score they have ?

Or are the JC1 classes formed, based on what A level subject combination they take ?

E.g.
Those taking double Humanities : form 1 class, while those taking double Sciences (e.g. : H2 Physics & Chem) : form another class, while those taking (H2 Bio & Chem) : form 3rd class, etc ?

Or
Are the classes formed, based on what Cca they taking ?

NYJC (in fact all JCs do the same with minor differences) assign classes base on subject combinations.

So those with the common combi (BCME(4H2) or PCME(4H2)) would be usually assigned to the same class. For the rest of the cohort taking combi with headcount less than abt 60 (I m using HCJC's quota NY may differ slightly), the class would be assigned based on timetabling availability (so these classes would have variations in combi, but will at least 2/3 subjects in common). (Given NY is very open for subj combi so a class of students can be taking quite varied subjects)

So for my friend, his cohort is:
1301-1310: BCM(H2/H1)
1311-1323: PCME
1324-1331: Mixed

In JC the academic performances are quite evened out usually, so no nid to worry abt the classes too much.

How are the Econs Teacher like, here?


If just rely on the Econs tr here to teach the subject, without any tuition, is it difficult to score A for Econs (H2)?
