My girl is total disappointed with the class posting. Really don't understand how it is done

What's wrong with it?? I don't understand the unhappiness, leh.

They already built up strong relationship and are emotionally attached. Guess more so for girls. DD's class was very close-knit; they spent a lots of happy times together. Many of her kakis wish they can be together in the same class again.

Hopefully they will get over it soon ...[/quote]But they already know they will be in new classes after JH1 & JH2. Furthermore, They will still be in the same school.

Regarding S1 orentation on 9 Jan, parents have to attend? or just let DD go by herself? Please advise. Thanks

Hi All experienced parents,


My DS get into JH1 at NJC. Have few queries…

1. So far, he shared my computer for his project (Primary school, simple ones) and for games, googling etc. At JH1, does he need his own laptop? What is your opinion and how do you practice and control his/her computer timings, so that the kids are not playing juz too much games and spending too much time in social media sites?

2. Allowance. To be given weekly or monthly and how much for a normal eater. On CCA days the kids may come late, so what do they eat and is the money sufficient?

TIA

different days for different CCAs. Usually not on Tues/Thurs, I think bc some students do their electives on those days, including 3rd Lang.

1. Not necessarily need a dedicated computer. Our 3 kids share 2 laptops. At any point in time, 1 or 2 of them may bring any of the laptops to school to use for projects. My boy does bring laptop to boarding school though. In JH1, he didn't - not totally necessary, but it's more convenient for him to have one, so I let him bring in JH2 boarding.

2. Allowance given weekly. S$25/week. Each at the canteen lah. Rice/Veg most economical. There are other dishes too. To each their own lah.

Will the gentlemen feel "intimidated" in class as the ratio of male to female is abt 7:3?

7 males to 3 females? Don't quite understand that figure.

There are usually around 5 to 6 boys at least in a class of 20-25. Most classes will have at least 8 boys.

It is very similar in most mixed schools. Even in JC. But I suspect that in JC, it's due to the subject combinations. eg. more boys in Phys/Chem combination classes compared to Bio/Chem combinations.
