[quote=\"Edwz\"]Heard Nan Chiau High is strong in sciences...


Does the school offer 3 pure sciences along with SAP Bi-cultural Programme?

Yes there is. 2 classes are offering 3 pure sci each yr.

The SAP Bi-cultural Programme is alongside all the subjects throughout the 4 yrs, so techinically it don't interfere with any of the subject combi.

Huh? Meaning is like SAP is is like another academic subject, or like is like enrichment programme laidat? :o[/quote]I would say its leaning more towards an enrichment for us bah. Is abit like part of the curriculum (u can visualise it like the academic modules in uni (shd b a close resemblance), so Bicultural prog modules are slotted along with the \"core\" modules). So last time our time table had dedicated slots for CI (aka cultural intelligence) lessons such as 中华文化史略...(Not the kind of boring lectures. Is quite project based)

In year 1 and 2 we will go thru most of the stuffs including 品茶, appreciating literary works (my batch got to view 2 Chinese literary works 《小白船》and《马良》), making traditional name stamps...

At yr 3, the programmes will be more personalised (so basically u get to choose the programmes u want to join, as long u meet the reapective requirements of the programmes). The sch would also reach out to us for intern and comp opportunities.

For me I was in sci talent programme so I did NYP research and went for the SAP-Shanghai Science symposium with frenz fm 7 other SAP schs. (There was another sci symposium trip to Kyoto but I chose Shanghai coz get to interact with other SAP sci students).

If not wrong thr is a SAP Bi-cultural Scholarship by Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan that we can apply. If sucessful the scholarship will cover all the costs for any sch immersion trips (think also cover external enrichments, forgot alrd)

I graduated 4 yrs ago so not sure whether the programme had changed haha. U can ask the chers during the openhouse tmr.

Honestly I am quite impressed by the school myself. They are very independent and self-motivated. Chatted with a student at the CCA booth (he is a Sec 2, not holding any leadership position), and what impressed me is his attitude, saying that we won't go far if we expect someone to spoon feed us, we must prove to ourselves that we are capable to do well.


Can sense the students are very warmhearted, some of them even offered to guide us around the campus (they are not appointed councillors, just dat they were off-duty from their CCA booths). Think my sis would have felt the same way too.

Anw can see fm here that there is a balance between the Arts ,SAP and the Sciences, since ALP is whole level thing.

Hi,

For the past few years it had been between 98.1% to 100% eligible for JC (only know for the last few yrs that I went back and when I was a student).

Exact percentage of ppl actually going to JC is not really told since is really based on personal preference. (no one really went to collate )

As far as I know, majority of the JC ppl are in VJ (arn 60 to 90 ppl each yr) and NYJC (also arn 80 to 90 ppl each yr). The ppl that go HCJC and RJC usually adds up to arn 20+ usually. The rest is usually in AJ/SR/MJ/SA

Saw in Nanyang JC trend someone posted some stats on the intake of Nanyang JC, Nan Chiau is one of the main feeder secondary sch for Nanyang JC.


I copied the post below:

[quote=\"phtthp\"]anyone know, based on this year 2017 JC1 intake latest batch (born in the year 2000): After minus away the group of affliated students coming from combined Chung Cheng Secondary (@Main & Yishun) school branches, roughly / approximately, how many places (vacancies) are left, for the acceptance intake of JAE (GCE O-level) NON-Affliated students, who were able to meet Nanyang Junior College Cut-off-point (both Science & Arts stream) ?

I am not entirely sure of the absolute number of students from Chung Cheng but I am certain that there are a great mix of students from other secondary schools as well. It was as claimed that students enrolling from as many as 80+ sec schools. Nonetheless, it is still based on meritocracy and acceptance is based on merits (6 for Science, 7 for Arts).

I am afraid I can't answer much to your question about Physics vs Biology in NYJC as I do not have in-depth knowledge on its operation. Perhaps attend their Open House in 2018. From what I know, NYJC is quite strong in their Sciences.

If I am not mistaken for the last 3 years Nan Chiau High was the main feeder school for NYJC, with about 96 students for year 2016 (Chung Cheng High 2 sch combined was a notch more than 100). That is more than Chung Cheng Main or Chung Cheng Yishun if counting on single schools. The rest of the 600 plus vacancies is distributed among students from der rest of der 198 schools.

For 2017, the bulk is shared among Nan Chiau High, Nan Hua High and the affiliated Chung Cheng High (Main & Yishun).

So actually there is no need to worry too much of the affiliation matters. As long as your DC meets the criteria he/she shd be able to get in. (its not dat competitive compared to IP schools like NJC, HCI, RI and Eunoia JC where there only 200 plus vacancies)

The photo I happen to have here is the students from Nan Chiau High in 2016 J1 (might not be complete). Was shared around in the group the other time.
