* Eunoia JC (EJC)

[phtthp]

Careermum:

My objective prediction (I emphasise objective!! No malicious intention, since my DS is in CHS) is that in 2019, the L1R5 cop may not be that good & may even drop to double digit coz that’s the batch that will be at Mt Sinai Rd in JC1, & Sin Ming Rd in JC2.

With such logistics inconvenience, likely EJC won’t be a popular choice for the JAE students.

From 2020 onwards, we should expect progressive improvement to the L1R5 cop.

Agree with you, Careermum

Don't think so....I was in the batch in RJC ( first year in Paterson) and second year in Mt Sinai. Distance was never my primary consideration, as long as I like the school and it wasn't too far away like Jurong. During my time, there were no such thing as MRT to even shorten the travelling time. With MRT, provided it does not break down , it is pretty convenient to travel anyway around the island. I chose RJC for the Quality of teachers and \"Branding\"

Likewise for Eunoia, the quality of teachers are excellent ( as read from first page of this forum, the credentials for the teachers were impressive) with many experience teachers from RI , VJC, Dunman High e.t.c. The pedigree of the JC stems from the association from the 3 premier feeder schools and the intention of MOE to elevate this JC to one of the best in Singapore.

And if the cohort do well in 2018 A levels and propel the school upwards, the school would be in greater demand, plus having a cool brand new state-of-the-art campus in a park does not hurt.

I mean yes, we can only speculate about it. I am curious how the usual bunch of people will react to this post :lightrod: and demand for evidence and facts to back up a said and admitted opinion

Please look at the way Careermum puts it, compare to how you puts it.

Careermum states it in an objective manner, provides her possible reasons why it may be so, given that she has no vested interested as she has a child in CHS.

You, on the other hand, is just here to bash any other JCs that may be a \"threat\" to NYJC e.g TJC, RVHS, NJC, Dunman High, River Valley, EJC.

Which of the above JC have you not said a disparaing remark before and indicated that it is below par performance when compared to NYJC ?

It great to see that EJC is not only nurturing academically sound students, but students with the entrepreneur spirit !

.

If I recall, this batch of RJC \"transition\" cohort ( 1st year Paterson, 2nd year Mt Sinai) performed even better at the A Levels than the pioneer batch that spent 2 years at Paterson campus.

Did the transition affected the A level results in anyways ? In this case no, it was even better.

You are still harping on this ? Gosh.

To answer you. There is a difference. Careermum was of the opinion that the transistion period may affect the COP, You are of the opinion that the COP of EJC ( and all lower tier IP JC ) will fall to double digits regardless what happen, whether the school will have stellar A level results or have moved to a brand new campus

Eunoia Junior College


TOP : 2019

Location :
along Marymount Road, opposite Salvation Army HQ (Bishan Street 22)


See map of Eunoia JC, very big, huge, sprawling campus (street directory)
Behind is Bishan / Ang Mo Kio Park


http://www.streetdirectory.com/sd_mobile/place/21037_106623/


From the map seen, nearby Secondary schools are

Ang Mo Kio Sec
Whitley Sec

Catholic High Junior / Sec full school
CHIJ St Nicholas Girls primary / Sec full school (a bit further up, at AMK street 13)

Yup. The new JC is at a very nice location in the park just next to the stream....think one of the MRT station in Thomson line is nearby too.

Yes, getting more & more exciting.
On Thomson-East Coast Line. It is called Bright Hill Station.
I stay nearby so I jogged there before.
About 5 to 7 min walk from mrt station to ejc. Very convenient. With such logistics convenience, ejc’s popularity will go up once it moves to the permanent campus.
I have put a red asterix on the new campus site on the map.

More good news:

There will be a covered walkway from the mrt station to the campus. So the walk is very comfortable.

To put it fairly, besides quality teachers & a good sounding name, JC students also based their choices on the following:

1) Convenience (preferably near mrt station)
2) Age of the campus building
3) Morning starting time

I am sure we can’t deny the fact that the above 3 factors have contributed to nyjc’s increased popularity.

Likewise, ejc’s new campus will fulfil the 1st 2 factors that I listed.
