I placed an order with the HQ for size 13 shirt. Hopefully the stk comes in soon.

But still no size 13 shirt.

The HQ staff noted down my mobile no., said will sms me once the stock arrives. Did they tell you when the stock will come in?

NJC does not hv a bus operator.

Other than 961, U can consider taking the MRT from Woodlands to Bt Batok, then 852 from the bus interchange or 66/157/174 from the bus stop on the main road.

Other than the 1st term starting later, the rest of the terms are the same. Last term ends earlier usually. The last term is the JH1s' boarding term. The last day of boarding is usually the last day of school. Around the 1st week of november.

Thanks phankao. I am so glad that you are always there to answer my queries.

1) Dean mentioned that class will end earlier on Tues/Thurs, so those taking 3rd lang can opt for these 2 days. So what are the typical dismissal time for the rest of the day (not taking into consideration of cca yet)?

2) Is it advisable to join PAACT (hope I got this right)? I am a working mum, so not sure how are the time commitment for PAACT like.

3) The compulsory books are Maths text 1/2, HMT text/workbook and some other MT reference. Are the MT reference useful or just get the 手册?

Sorry for so many questions.

Sorry for so many questions.

1) Tuesdays & THursdays, they will end at 2pm, that's why they can go to MOERLC for their 3rd Lang. I think 3rd lang ends at least 4+pm or 5+pm at least? Other days of the week - depends. Can end between 3+pm to 4+pm. CCA can start at 4pm or even 6pm, depending on the CCA the child does.

2) PAACT: I didn't join. Your choice.

3) Only bought the textbooks for HMT. I did buy the handbook, but I don't think he used it much. Math textbook not used much I think?

Hi,


Need some advice re Higher Chinese for Sec 1. My dd has never taken HCL before. Though she scored A for Chinese during PSLE, I am concerned whether she can cope. She does not want to continue with the Chinese tuition as she feels that she should be able to deal with HCL . I am wondering whether this is wise as she hardly converse or read books in Chinese. I am not expecting her to score but a pass will do, so that she does not have to take Chinese in JC level. Is HCL very difficult in Sec 1 ? Should I just enrol her in some Chinese enrichment class instead of having individual tuition ?

My boy does individual tuition. I don't know if group tuition would work for him. His chinese is quite poor - yes, doesn't read books nor converse. Speaks like a foreigner. He prefers individual tuition. His individual tuition is not very intense, not like in primary school though. He does not do too well, but not in the lowest banding for CL in his level, and not asked to drop HCL for year 3, so I guess can still survive to do HCL so he doesn't need to do in A-level years.
