[quote=\"Just Mama\"]Yes, it is the same at NJ - O Level HMT in Year 4

Thanks Just Mama for the confirmation ...

Dunno if same, bc I remember my son telling me that he quite likely will have to drop hmt in jh3 bc he is not very good in Chinese.[/quote]Just checked with my girl.

My girl also struggling & failing in some section of Chinese. But she said better to loon and bear with the HMT if not she has to take MT all the way to A Level. She is hoping and that the school won't ask her to drop.

So I think better ask your boy not to opt out... just my girl's opinion ...

Cheers

Not opt out, I thought? Thought it's school's recommendation. Anyway, I only just got back from overseas trip. Only managed to ask him some very brief things about subject comb. Will ask him about MT later.

One of the MT teachers mentioned that for those students who are struggling with HMT, there is an option to do standard MT in year 3 & 4 ...

We also think it is better to try as much as possible to take HMT till JH4. My boy's tutor was telling us Year 5 is not any easier than HMT till Year 4. Might as well spend more effort now than to do MT at year 5.

Hi


Can anyone advise me more on NJC. I would like to consider this school for my DD for 2012. :?

1. Heard that is a full day school, is it very stressful?
2. What is the school hour like?
3. Is their higher chinese standard like HCI.
4. Someone in the thread mentioned that every student has to stay in their hostel at least one term (for boarding purpose?)
5. What is the fees like
6. Any other important issues, please high light to me

Many thanks :thankyou:

1. full day? u can go back home once all your school activities r over. As long as ur daughter manages her time well, it should be okay for her. The school stuff r stressful, but I could manage
2. default hours this yr for jh1 : mon 8-3 tues 8-2 wed 8-3 thurs 9-2 fri 8-12.30pm note that 8am and 9am r the times their classes start, not assembly time. if u hav any more things like Drama-in-production class, CAFE, then u would hav to stay longer.
3. welll, i can't answer this cos im not sure of HCI hcl standard. But NJ's chinese is not bad
4. Yes for every JH1, they must board in the school in term 4. They check in every sunday night by latest 10 and check out every friday once their classes r over. I'm boarding right now
5. according to what i know, the school fees r pretty low, as compared to other schools like SCGS...etc
6. Wellllll...... let me think...
i cant think of any at the moment
Hope this helped u :)))
