i just feel that my daughter made a very bad decision on her part despite me trying to convince her to go to nygh. and if her chosen school does not provide adequate resources n not gd teaching stds, that we hv to borrow or buy notes fr other schools to study. then maybe she shd hv just gone to the better school, defeats the purpose of her staying in her chosen school. u all get what I mean? but it was a bad decision made n we r stuck with it now, and so hard to reverse the decision

If NYGH can offer her a vacancy now, then exit out fast ! Otherwise, bear with it until end of (Sec 1 or Sec 2). If Sec 2, take their entrance admission tests and then exit (transfer out), before she start Upper Sec 3. But u must also check her emotional state of mind, whether she herself want to transfer or stay put.

I think you should give your child and the school a chance. It would have been a joint decision when the school selection was submitted. Cannot push everything to the child. She must have good reasons when she opted for njc. So trust her.

MOE has put a very senior Principal to head NJC. It is in good hands.


My DD met the COP for NYGH and MGS for her year but opted for another school with a lower COP. How things pan out depends a lot on the child. She enjoyed and grew a lot in character and maturity in sec school, beyond what we could have imagined. Kids who are motivated will find good company and peers to journey with in school even if not an absolute top school.

Give NJC some time and your daughter a chance to find her footing and opportunities to develop herself in the school.

lazygal, maybe discuss with her that you found notes and teachers are not up to your standard, show her the difference, ask what is her opinion on changing school? Is she comfortable with njc now? Does she want to change school even? 6 yrs, anything can happen, still too early to say this is a “bad” decision. I have seen the best remains the best wherever they go. The best you can do now, show her the difference, let her think about it, give her moral support on whatever decision she made, avoid stressing her too much. For me, I prefer my child make mistake or wrong decision now rather than later. Things are much easier to correct and mitigate the consequences, in this case you have the access to “better” resources. I’m sure MOE is watching this seriously as well. No need to worry too much

she is comfortable in njc. and kids u know at that age r quite resistant to changes.after speaking to her, she feels abit regret on her decision, and says she will work harder in nj to compensate for the lack on the school part (if she is unable to trsf out)

Chances are you talk to a random girl in nygh/rgs, she will probably also have grouses about the standard of teaching of certain teachers, useless notes etc etc…


The very on ones if they meet with such dismal teaching May band together and compile their own better notes. So one way to stay above all these is to be friends with very “on” classmates. When they all feel lost, they will think of a way.
