Hi K parents and friends,


I'm a student in P6 this year. My parents didnot get entry to the open house which was held earlier as they(NJC) said all timing \"FULL\".

So, can any K.parent or friends enlighten me on what was highlighted during the speech. Would like to know on the Boarding fee and CCA we have to choose..Is it 1 or 2 ?.

I read first 6 pages here..n i'm finding exhausted to go thru till 206.So, can anyone give me an idea of NJC academic ,boarding and CCA details?

Thanks in advance.

hi ABCDE,
here's a small nutshell.

Boarding fee - about $175 per term - one term/year from year 1 - 4
2 students to a room, bfast/dinner/laundry/supper.

School fees - standard govt rates, abt $20/month all in.

CCA - during year 1, there is no fixed CCA. there is something called CAFE, where you get to try out 3 or 4 different CCA without having to sign up \"permanently\". there are no uniform groups in NJC.
students are required to choose 1 \"niche\" CCA from year 2 onwards, and are also encouraged to take up a 2nd optional CCA.

Academic - please check this out - http://www.njc.edu.sg/integrated_curriculum.htm
class size is about 25. there are 3-4 girls to 1 boy
based on my DD year 1 experience, the first term is quite a honeymoon.
She woke up some time around mid-year, get the idea? :lol:
the good thing is, you'd probably be surrounded by really nice and fun buddies to study with after waking up. :lol:
there is no \"exam\" in year 1, but don't be \"cheated\" by that, there are plenty reasons around to make you study! :roll:

Awesome :goodpost:

then my son got sick and so nice of the teachers - sent him back home to our doctor. That's why my son is at home, but he quite unhappy about not being in camp lah.

Yah, that's what my boy told me they did yesterday. After that, he started having congested chest, that's why I was talking to the teachers and asking if the equipment they used was very dusty . Thought my boy could be allergic to something in the air or the equipment. Usually these stuff kept in storage for very long, right? And then the teachers also described to me what they did - lots of hard work apparently, carrying and all.

My boy has sensitive airways since young. Though these few years, he did not hv any airway prob. Dunno if he was affected by whatever that caused your boy to hv chest tightness? No one called me, his mobile phone also switched off (not supposed to bring into the camp). Tmr is the last day, I suppose I will only know then.

Btw, has the sch informed the children how the dismissal on 4th Nov will be carried out? Can we parents go inside to help with the packing? I think the boarding sch shld allow us to go in right? So many things to carry, esp for some other children who brou standing fans into the boarding hse. Plus also need to coordinate the dismissal times for each class right?
