Do you know the daily school hours?

Shd be 7.40am - 3.30pm or so except Thurs when it starts at 8.30am. Tues/Thur end at 2pm but if you have electives like Music and Math olympiad training, those are the afternoons that get filled up with those.

Aiyoh - they didn't brief on the reporting day, meh?[/quote]They did The VPrincipal did most of the briefing on curriculum. Sorry, I don't know his name

These are for JH2?

Pls advise whether JH2 are required to go back in Jun hols for extra programmes or whether the teachers give lots of sch hols assignment during the Jun hols. Many thanks.

yes. they are selected on the jh1's performance and jh2's physics results.

for my jh2 jun hols, some students (the weaker ones) are called back for extra classes... some ccas will hold training sessions. basically we weren't given much work but there will definitely be projects to complete and of course to prepare for term 3's lit tests.

My boy is doing A.Maths in JH1 semester 2 and for JH2 as well. Wld it be too much if he gets a placement in one of the Sci acelerated classes as well? He is into Physics now.

There's bus 852 that goes from Yishun (the main road) all the way to NJC.

Thanks much for the info. Guess that's the best way for DD to commute to n fro NJ but the journey seems quite long. Anyway, my DH will send her in the morning and she'll just have to make her way back after school. I look forward to learning more from you and other NJcian parents and wish you and your child a great year ahead! :celebrate:
