Hi Grandyma
I think it's more important how your granddaughter did, rather than how other people's grandchildren or children did, isn't it?
I can totally understand why PSLE parents are checking out JCs' Mean UAS, subject combi as they're shopping for DSA-sec schools. I can also understand why parents of upper secondary school children are concerned about JC subject performances as they're going to pick combis or have already picked their combi and so are keen to suss out the standard of the seniors and respective depts' performance vz the national standard for planning purposes.
But for you whose granddaughter who was from Class of 2017, what is your main objective for doing this?
How did your granddaughter or daughter fare last year? Is she is one of the 1 in 7, or 1 in 5, as announced by her Principal? Is she happy with her results?
I put it to you that you're just feeling insecure, concerned that your granddaughter or daughter's A level cert value will drop if her JC is one day out-ranked or outperformed by another nearby JC.
Please rest assured, Ah Ma, that GCE Cambridge's As, Bs or Cs will not devalue even if your Singapore JC's Mean UAS drop or rise in the future. What's important is that your granddaughter or daughter gets into her desired university and gets a good job. Also, PSC, local unis look at her UAS, not which famous JC she comes from. Likewise, employers don't care about JC UAS or ranking. A humble person from a mid-tier JC with As/ Bs may sometimes get the job instead of another haughty person from a top-tier JC with straight As all his life.
So, please stop worrying about your granddaughter's JC potentially being eclipsed by other JCs in the unknown future. It's all based on free market forces. Some teens like newer campuses, others like later starting hour and 5-day PE attire. So respect their choices. Life is too short to worry about other minuscule statistics when one's offspring has already graduated. Too much sodium is no good for the elderly.
Yr EJC Thsheng99 said EJC is more value added than other single digit JCs mah....isnt this comparing of JCs?
I curious which JCs mah
I have EJC all subjects % A performance.
Yes, EJC has done well...i support hor...but not what you EJCian parents say \" very good\".
With 75% cohort from 3 gd IP Sec Sch, it should work more on it Sciences.
Other than ACJC, TJC,
NJC Medium 84.4 is better than EJC too.
EJC results didnt do better than the rest of the top tier JCs lei... -

The first batch EJC students took their A levels at a temporary site.
Tell me why many preferred to join an established JC rather than a new JC? The pioneer batch did not have any seniors to guide them or pass them any revision notes. I salute those Teachers who left RI to join a new JC. New staff also need time to settle down. There are many teething challenges in a new JC.
“Very good” is all relative. Because it is EJC’s first A level exam, and had to be taken at a temporary site, due credit should be given. Unless you can dig out all the other JCs’ first time A level results and tabulate into a chart for normalised comparison, then we can dissect EJC’s performance further. -

Ah, the \"very good\" results by EJC that EJCian parents claimed is partly based on the teething challenges that first batch students went through and not entirely based from EJC A level results.

Ok, credit should go to staff and students.
But redeployment of staff is decided by MOE right and not by teachers, right? -

Not sure if you deliberately being provocative but thsheng99 has also clearly explain the COP vs UAS in her posts.

If you have nothing more constructive to contribute other then replaying the broken record, perhaps you can leave this thread and go post in the JC thread that your granddaughter studied in -

I said ACJC and TJC RP not better than EJC.
NJC Medium 84.4 , so RP cant be lower than 82.4, right. Then NJC did better than EJC since I was asked. -
‘Curious’ until you had to sneak into other JC’s hall on results day to snap pictures of other JC’s slides? I cannot believe this. But why? What are you trying to prove? Prove that your granddaughter made the right choice? I mean, good on her, but why aren’t you busy checking on NUS/NTU/SMU courses now?
It may not be as stellar as other top tier JCs’ results, but honestly, so what? You just want to gloat? I hope your granddaughter’s Principal who happens to read this can help to rein in his Grand-PSG. There are also some ‘retainees’ who don’t seem to have graduated after some 4-5 years. Are they jobless?
I don’t see RJ parents sneaking into HCI, or VJC parents sneaking into DHS like that. They are mature, dignified and classy parents. This is all so crass to me. I recall 2 years ago, one fanatic even sneaked into EJC Open House to look at the gym. Goodness, poor Eunoia. So many creepy and curious people stalking your JC. -
