National Junior College (Junior High)

Hi, need some advice pertaining to 3rd lang:


-was wondering if there are any NJC students who opt to study 3rd Lang at Bishan instead of Newton?
-does MOELC place all students from same school in the same class?
-what are the pro and con of studying together from the same school ( at newton) vs study at bishan possibly with students from other school?

Bishan- catholic high, RI, st nicks, dunman high
Newton- which school?

Appreciate if some kind parent can share.

Thanks

Thanks so much for sharing especially on the car park arrangement.


By the way, does NJC has transport arrangement to ferry the students to newton for 3rd Lang?

I don't think so. Newton is so nearby, just take public bus will do. If your child plans to do Music programme in nJC, don't bother about 3rd Lang. Timing will clash.

Guess it is time to let go and let the kids be independent. :rahrah:

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?

Yes, there's a reservations form. So now they just owe me the shirts in the reservations.. .. they said by 1St week January.

I called BibiBaba early last week, was told they will try to rush out the size 13 by this weekend. I called this morning, still no stock, also no idea when exactly the stock for size 13 will b available in Shaw Centre.

I am going to call the sch up tmr.

This girl answered the phone and informed me don't have stock for size 13 & 14 yet (see - even if we want to \"make do\" and buy one size bigger, also don't have!!!). I commented that they've not had stock since November. Then I asked if there will be stock coming in this week. She said \"not sure\". *faint*...... so, I dragged the conversation and said \"next week start school, no uniform, then Hooooowww??\".... the girl got a bit wary, I think. LOL. She went \"errrrr.....you wait, har....\".... took a long long time away from the phone and came back to tell me that they WILL be in school on 4th January (Wed) at Bookshop to sell the uniforms and that they *should* have the sizes then... wah, keep fingers crossed. I FORGOT to ask what time they will be there! I meet you there to show black face. HAHA! :yikes:

No one at BibiBaBa told me this Wed selling in sch leh. If they hv the stock, they shld call us first (since we r on the reservation list) :spank:

Last time I called, I told the staff (a male staff) that I will call the sch to inform no uniform to wear, bcos BiBiBaBa cant supply on time. They supply too many schs uniforms, no enough manpower to make. Even had to work on New Year's Day n today.

The last time (Dec) they were at the sch selling uniforms, the time was from 9am to 12 noon.
