      Hi bluepencil,

      During June this year, I did ask my girl's language teachers on recommended books for her to read for leisure. Her language art (English) mentioned , The boy in striped pyjamas, To kill a mocking bird, the book thief and John Grisham books. These are not the literature books, first year, no lit books.

      For Chinese, her teacher did email me a list of books. So, perhaps you want to PM me your email address, I can forward the list to you.

      Regards,
      Yamyam
      Sorry for the late reply. Oh thank you for the recommendations. Thing is my child has read all of them , except for Grisham which isn't an interest. My child is a big deep reader !
      wish is the case for chinese - it's worrying.
      will pm!
      tks in advance

            When you attend the parent orientation on Day 1 of school reopens, the offical PSG will be there to give out form to sign up. You may also receive some information about PSG when you report to school on 23 Dec.

            Note: NJC school day 1 does not follow the Secondary school schedule. For 2020, first day of school is 6 Jan.

            Offical NJC PSG website https://nationaljc.moe.edu.sg/about-us/parents-in-action-paact/

                  Both Sixth Avenue and Tan Kah Kee almost the same distance. Both need to take bus. Both 2 bus stops away. For Sixth Ave, cross bridge first then take bus. For Tan Kah Kee, take bus first then cross bridge.

                    Dear Parents,

                    I am planning to apply DSA for my DS in 2020. He is good in violin (completed Grade 4 ABRSM). Do they have DSA for Violin? In the website, it is mentioned "Music". His CCA is music related. What is the probability of getting shortlisted for audition?

                        addressed To


                        Principal / VPs / staff in charge of DSA,

                        not sure if this year 2020 NJC DSA going to be on, or off

                        However, in the event if still on,
                        please think through very carefully, step by step meticulously, how NJC intend to conduct DSA test, in view of deadly covid highly infectious virus

                        number of people infected, and death, by country
                        https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries


                        1426 new covid cases

                        https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/covid-19-new-cases-1426-foreign-workers-dormitory-citizen-pr-moh-12658250


                        for Example


                        last year, DSA for STEM [Science / Technology / Engineering / Maths ] :
                        a few thousands of P6 students, sat for NJC Round 1 STEM test, concurrently at the same time, after which NJC eliminated out those who didn't do well, before invited short-listed candidates to turn up Round 2 STEM test


                        Definitely with covid break out this year,
                        will need to conduct it differently, if indeed DSA 2020 STEM were to proceed

                        because

                        can't possibly gather all the P6 students together, take test concurrently inside the same venue. This year, maybe need to break up the P6 students with face-mask on, into groups, say enter, several different Sec 1 or Sec 2 classroom to take test

                        And after EACH batch of P6 students had taken Round 1 STEM test,
                        BEFORE the next new batch of P6 students walk in, enter the same classroom to take the same identical test,

                        NJC teaching staff / admin staff / cleaners, please dis-infect the classroom thorough cleansing,
                        before allowing the Next new batch of students to enter the same classroom, just in case some student from the previous batch who had taken the test, is a asymptomatic covid virus carrier spreader.


                        MOH flags concern, over \"un-linked\" cases

                        https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/moh-concern-unlinked-cases-tests-patients-gp-polyclinic-covid-19-12654730



                        Recall that sometime back in 2020 Term 1, after this Secondary 1 RI (Raffles Institution) boy who had covid-19 virus attended a 3rd foreign language lesson at MOELC premises,

                        1)

                        MOELC staff done extensive contact tracing,
                        investigated who are the students from other Secondary schools as well in Singapore, not just RI only, who had also sat in the same identical classroom, as this boy,

                        over and above having done a thorough cleansing dis-infection inside that particular MOELC classroom which he had sat in.

                        2)

                        RI shut down whole school temporarily on one Friday, to dis-infect thoroughly those classroom, which the boy had sat in previously for lessons.


                        source of news

                        https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/mustsharenews.com/singapore-covid-19-27-feb/amp/


                        https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/coronavirus-students-resume-classes-at-raffles-institution-on-monday-after-schools-day-of


                        Also, try to use those classroom, where you can open the windows big-big, wide-wide, for fresh air to circulate freely.

                        Avoid those \"air-con\" classroom, where virus keep circulating around, confined within the same classroom

                        do NOT use big hall, to conduct test.
                        Even if NJC were to partition up the hall into small partition or compartment,
                        this cunning, tricky contagious virus [if any] can still rise up to the ceiling, spill over, move over or \"cross over\" into the next partition, within the same hall

                        because

                        your partition cannot reach the top of the ceiling, so high up, seal off the ceiling


                        All these, required very detailed, meticulous planning
                        not just for STEM domain alone,

                        but for rest of the other DSA domain as well,
                        be it Sports or Performing Arts domain.
                        Thank you

                        ==============================

                        on the other hand, NJC also cannot allow P6 students to take STEM test at home,

                        because

                        as seen in the NUS example, some NUS students cheated blatantly, when they took a programming test at home, during covid period
