I told my son the exact opposite; that no one will ask for his PSLE score. Most employers request for the 'O' level certificates and above.

Agree with you there, as you get on with life and go for higher education. Frankly, off-hand, I only remember university scores onwards. But for now, at least for the next few years, PSLE score is the highest education level that they have.

Your example of the NT student who had done well later in life is very encouraging, especially to parents of children who are \"late-bloomers\".

I agree. Employers will look only at O levels, A levels and University grades. I never looked at a prospective employee’s PSLE results. I was more interested in how the person presented himself/herself at the interview.

NJC has interesting curriculum. Everyone has to take HMT, regardless of whether you qualify for it or not, and exactly the same combination for Years 1-4. Very different from other IP schools.

Is this HMT compulsory for all confirmed? I could not find such info on its website. Written an email to the sch, but no reply yet.

My daughter received a thick red brochure during the talk in her school. In addition, there is another booklet (small, light green) given out during NJC school tour this year, Academic Programme Information for JH1. It provides more information on the modules for JH1. For example Language Arts, there are 3 modules; \"Clues, Sleuths and Inkblots\", \"Get into the Groove\" and \"Blast from the past\". It was the information provided in the booklet that made her decide to go to NJC.
