National Junior College (Junior High)

Yes she did. Your child too? I wonder how many went for interview that day. Results should be out by next Friday.

Yup, I wonder why it’s so quiet here. NJC isn’t popular anymore? 🤔

Hi Eva,
Did your girl went for the interview last friday 25 Aug ? Seem like not much response from this forum on DSA or the culture of NJC. Seem like quite big group was selected for the interview and i was wondering how many will be selected

yes, mine went too. I guess roughly 15min per child start from 2pm and end around 6pm - should be around 16. There is one parent in the DSA 2023 main chat mentioned that her child turn down on the interview as he has a confirmed offer already. hence should be 15 kids, based on previous chat reply - only less than 5 will be selected, I read the information for the previous year, NJC sound like a wonderful school with interesting curriculum.

I see. But the school seems a bit old and there are very few CCA for junior high.

Stem isn’t a CCA at NJC. Do you know what’s the commitment like for a student who got in through DSA Stem?

I don’t know what is the commitment but I think is just that this year parents are not as enthusiastic to post as previous year 🤣. Even in the main chat DSA is also quite quiet.

I read that the current principal of NJC got transferred from MOE in Dec 2022. Not sure how NJC culture is changing under her leadership.

I see. My kid was interview by the vice principal I think so did not meet the principal. My kid enjoy the chat with the panel though, it a great experience for a child. When I was there for the trial , the school was very quiet . We are a little surprise. the students seem well behave type.

Same here. My kid was interviewed by the VP and 2 other teachers. Yes, the school is rather quiet and students are very well behaved.

The results should be out next week…

Do u personally know of any friends’ kids at NJC? I don’t know of anyone with children studying at NJC. I’ve been trying to find out more about NJC; how’s the school environment and the teachers like etc.

Actually I have no friends kids who are studying there , this NJC is an option that we put in after some research on the curriculum. If you have other CO offer to decide ranking then maybe worth to check out the school open house video to have a sense of the vibes. I did read in the earlier post that there are more girls than boys in the school, hence maybe the school is not rowdy and super quiet. My child think is great that CCA is still open for selection even joining NJC via the STEM DSA.

I just received email from NJC that my child’s DSA Application is unsuccessful. Am quite relieved actually. Move on and focus on PSLE.


Have you received any email?
