Networking Group - JCs General

[zac's mum]

I thought the increase in COP would only be in the merged JCs. I don’t expect SJI or ACJC to change their COP at all. But someone please correct me if I’m wrong.


SAJC is Anglican. While CJC is Catholic. To me, due to my religion I have a clear preference. Does your daughter have a preference?? Consider also the locations & logistics, whether any direct bus from your house. For SAJC, it is possible to walk from Potong Pasir MRT. Cut thru St Andrew’s Secondary School canteen, I think there’s a link bridge to SAJC which plenty of students take in the morning so it’s quite safe even if dark.

I can’t give more insight but my general impression is SAJC reputation seems better than CJC. For girls especially.

hi guys. My son got an L1R5 raw of 8, with a bonus of 2 points. Is there really no chance for VJC or HCI? Putting either one in the JAE ranking would be a waste of time right?

Seems like the million dollar question that everyone has now, will cop increase for those top JCs. Even when announcing results, school was like last year is a reference point, cop might increase with the merger.

Yes agree on this.

SAJC location with its proximity near MRT is better located too.

IF there is an increase in intake (seats) at CJC, due to merged 4 JCs; then it is possible that CJC COP, may change from last year.

First, find out from the Principal of CJC : is there any increase in intake for CJC this year vs. last year intake, after the \"4-merged JCs MOE\" announcement ?
if Yes, what is the differnce, like ?
is the difference (increase) big, like more than one class of A-level students ?

CJC :
normally, close to 40 percent from Affliated Secondary school students gained admission into CJC, with the remaining / balance, coming from Non-affliated Secondary schools.

Boys from SJI, St Patrick Secondary although there are some students from ACS / St Andrew Sec choose CJC.

CHIJ girls, girls from other Catholic mission schools, have \" 2-points\" affliation admission bonus discount.

last year (2016 O level sitting), for Science stream :-
Cut-off point (Science stream) for CJC was 11, while that for SAJC was 9.

(similarly, can pose the same qn, to Anglican SAJC Principal)

If my son is interested in maths, chemistry , econ and history, is this under the category of arts or science?

My DS got an L1R5 of raw 10 pts. (no bonus points)


He is considering AJC (last COP for Sc. is 9)

Since AJC will be merging with SJC, but SJC will not participate in JAE for this year.
So probably students will base on AJC last COP as reference?

If taking 4 H2s, then Science.
If taking 3H2/1H1, it depend on which subject he is taking as H1. If the H1 is Maths or Chem, then probably Arts; if Econs or Hist, then probably Science.

I don't know if different JCs have different ways of categorising or whether this the MOE standard. It's best to check with the JC.

Hi parents! I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me

L1R5- 7 after deducting 2 CCA pts my L1R5 is 5
The combi I am intending to take is H2 Geog, Chem and Math H1 Econs

I was thinking of NYJC and NJC (both cut off pts are 6)I was wondering if you could tell me more about these schoosl? (eg culture & academics)(Distance wise Ny is nearer because I live in the northeast)

Or do you have any other Jcs to recommend?

Thank you in advance!
