i dont know abt NJC since its not on my tracking 'radar'. TJC enrolmt for the JC yrs probably abt 800+ a yr. So that's 70 TA1/2 vs 800 JC1/2 a year. I would think the TA nrs would change by the time the Sec 1 intake starts in 2013.

NJC per year's intake will be capped at 250 for their sec 1s from year 2011(next year). NJC has ceased taking in students for year 3 admission, and the next entry level is at JC level. I think they have around 500 places for JC (apart from their own IP).

if njc used to have jc 1 and jc 2 each 800+ students each, this means their total used to be 1600+
now sec 1 is 250, and jc 1 is 500 - in future when they have all 6 yrs, it will be 250 x 4 + 500 x 2 = 2000
the number is just right
so i think njc and tjc still have many places for non-ip schools students[/quote]I thot for jc1, there should be 250ip + 500 non-ip? So 750?

Yes, njc has quite a number of places compared to HCI & RI.

250 x 6 yrs = 1500
500 x 2 yrs = 1000
2500 students! more classrooms are needed!!

9-3-2010
As announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Dr Ng Eng Heng, Minister for Education and Second Minister for Defence, Victoria Junior College is pleased to partner Victoria School and Cedar Girls' Secondary School from 2012 onwards in offering its Integrated Programme.

VJC will continue recruiting Secondary 2 students next year for the Class of 2012. Hence, current Secondary 1 students are not affected by the changes. Students who have been selected for admission into the VIP's Class of 2011 are also not affected by the changes.

Seem like for 2013, they will only accept 50 boys n 50 gals from vs n cgs only. And after that, only Year 5 and 6 IP students.

if this is true, then for the current P6's who arent keen on VS/Cedar for Sec sch, the main IP route when they are in Sec 2 wd be to go to Temasek Academy of the TJC - especially if they live in the east. So TJC wd probably stand to benefit from the closing of doors of the VJC IP and become more competitive to enter.[/quote]if you are talking about 2011 sec 1 batch, they will be sec 3 in 2013, the same year when tjc stop their sec 3 ip intake and start their sec 1 ip intake

Cedar was a natural IP-candidate for Victoria 'cos almost like 3/4 of the girls go to VJC each year. And these IP ppl came to Cedar ytd and told them Cedar naughty girl, so must marry her to Victoria. :rotflmao:

So i wonder if the current Cedar girls now get 2 bonus pts to get into VJC after their O lvls?

VJC definitely need intake in 2012 for sec 3 VJC's IP because those 1st batch VS/Cedar IP students from 2012 can only study in VJC in 2016 (so maybe VJC last batch Sec 3 IP intake is 2013, so when they are JC 2 in 2016, those 2012 sec1 of VS/Cedar IP can come in as JC1 so 'nice nice' no gap/stoppage at all )

2012: VS and CGS start IP at Sec 1; VJC continue Sec 3 IP
2013: VS and CGS 2012 IP in Sec 2, 2011 50 each IP in Sec 3; VJC stop Sec 3 IP (likely scenario, else duplication)

TJ will start their Sec 1 IP intake in 2013, but think they are silent if they will stop their Sec 3 intake. If I am not wrong, when NJC extended their intake to Sec 1, they still continued to take in Sec 3 for two yrs. If TJ do stop their Sec 3 intake in 2013, then the current P6's who intend to an IP out at sec 2 will be left out in the cold !

[strong opinions]

If a student goes either TA or VIP in sec 3 and in his third year of ip, which is jc1, would like to change to another IP school for instance RIJC or HCJC, isit possible?

2011: VS and CGS 50 each at Sec 1 for Sec 3 IP 2 yrs later; VJC continue Sec 3 IP
2012: VS and CGS start IP at Sec 1; VJC continue Sec 3 IP
2013: VS and CGS 2012 IP in Sec 2, 2011 50 each IP in Sec 3; VJC stop Sec 3 IP (likely scenario, else duplication)[/quote]thanks Kiaaik, i think what you wrote is CORRECT & what i wrote earlier of VJC DIRECT INTAKE Sec3 IP in 2013 as last batch is likely wrong... those VJC Sec3 IP in 2013 should be from Victoria Sch's 50 and CGS's 50 from their 2011 intake.

i also found MOE link which confirms that
http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/files/2010/09/secondary-schools-pathways-annex-b.pdf

from above link's * information lead to another Qn:
whether those 50 each is selected at SEC 1 (when 1st enter VS/Cedar) or at Sec 3 level and whether they go VJC or stay in VS/Cedar... i think this batch would be continue VJC's sec3 IP (as e last batch)... so go VJC at Sec 3.....correct me if anyone have alternative opinion
