Allowed to go home for the weekends? O.o

Yes, Fridays out, Sunday evening back in.

Triplediao, you can name 4 classmates as your choice of roommate and the school will try to match according to your order of preferrence. Of course, the other party should also put you on her list ...

School starts 7.40am except for Thurs which starts at 8.40am[/quote]Oh I see. Thanks for the info. Its nice of them to allow us to select roommates. We are going to be with them for 10 weeks. Hehe.

Now headache abt the transportation as we stay at west coast area quite
far from the school... at what time students must reach the school? any assembling or other activities before school hour?

Generally or rather so far no activites before school hours so just need to be there before 7.40am. Many students are living far away from school. Mine takes an hour each to get there and back but she has schoolmates who live as far as Pasir Ris too ....

My boy likes to reach school before 7am. If he takes bus, he'd leave by 6am and reach around 6.30-6.45am. He does this even on Thursdays.[/quote]Wow! I would also prefer to reach school at least 1/2h earlier. I live all the way at Yio Chu Kang. I'm supposed to take a bus there next year on my own. Totally lost. No time to do research yet. Haha

I think a bus ride will take about 45min anyway.

855 or 163, change bus at MacRitchie., to like 74, 852, and some other buses that go to NJC.

NJC website has the numbers of buses going along bkt timah/dunearn.

Or you can take 852 directly along Ang Mo Kio ave 6.

Just wondering..do they have to go back to school during holidays for projects, CCA etc? If so, how often?

Hi Phankao,

Maybe he has a secret girlfriend you don't know about :oops: :oops: :lol:

Seriously though, so nice of all parents concerned to share the experiences and advice on the Boarding Program at NJC.

Thumbs up to the most info-sharing thread for sec school. :celebrate: :celebrate:

Yah - all taller than him too, and older than him.

I usually send/fetch him everyday except when we are overseas though, and he only comes back on his own by bus if my schedule is too tight for me to fetch him.
