Ok, checked further. My boy said that classes will be known - probably in December. And that there will be a further Performance Report for Full-year given on 11th November??? Right now, they have the \"report card\"?


Anyway, er... I do wonder why PE is given such high weightage? Same as LA and HIGHER than math & science?? I thot in the earlier handbook on grading, PE/Music/Art was supposed to be under P/F grading and not form part of GPA?

Many thanks for the info.

My boy was told by sb that PE is 30% NAFA and 70% swimming. How the swimming was assessed is a ? to us. His PE grade shocked us :stompfeet:

My boy said that they do not understand how the grades for PE were derived!

:? Hi everyone!!!

I am a P6 student currently expecting my PSLE results.
I'm quite keen on NJC but I live in the east and I have to take a over 1 hour bus ride to get there.

Are there any school buses or any private transport to NJC?

There is no sch bus service.

Your \"over 1 hour\" bus ride- can it incorporate a MRT ride somewhere?

Actually,with MRT it is still about 1 hour and that's not including waiting time :sad:

Does anyone have info on the number of seats available for NJC sec 1 posting? I believe this time the number of DSA offers given out were quite less and also no waiting lists. Is the total number of seats still 180? TIA

If any new student or JH1 boys want to have extra uniforms, we have a few used sets (at least 3 sets, I think) for giveaway. For boy’s height around 146-155cm (that was my son’s height in JH1 & JH2).


PM me if interested.

Hi, I’m deciding btw NJC and HCI for my DS’s sec school. Appreciate it anyone cd advise me on the following:

- Is NJC’s IP programme very stressful and achievement-oriented? Is the work standard very high?
- Do the teachers teach well or is a lot of family support required in the academic subjects?
- Are the children generally given the CCA of their choice?
prefer an environment where my DS has some breathing room instead of having to study all the time. TIA!
