- Did they actually have a schedule with the timing for everything, eg. the teachers' march-in? During my ds' year, we could hear the commands from parade square and all the parents were confused as to whether that was meant for us! *hehe*

Yes. As per schedule \"Welcome Assembly\" with formal ceremony should start at 8:00. Though the march-in was a bit late, a quite refreshing thing is the Team marched with band music. NJC students band played very nicely when they walked in. A great BGM. I liked it.

phankao:

- Mrs Cheng even LIVES on campus!!! How convenient, yah? That's probably why you'll rarely if ever see the \"Principal\" carpark lot occupied (I've never seen a car on that lot). So when your children are in boarding, don't forget: \"The Principal is *watching* you!\".

Oh.. That's a news for me. Need to share with DS. Thx.

Yesterday's orientation activity for DS was kayaking. He had a great time but there was a little incident that disturbed me a little. DS said that he was one of the last to pick up his bag after the activity because he helped to carry the canoes/kayaks for keeping. When he came back, his water bottle was missing, but bag still around. It was a Nike water bottle. I'm just curious, is it common in NJC for simple but obviously branded things to be stolen? He has been in Nanyang Primary and has this water bottle for years. Never occured to us that someone will steal a water bottle, but then maybe it is Nike, and it is a very different environment now. I think we must have been in a very protected environment in Nanyang.

My dd has asked a couple of friends to have their parents to write in. I understand that the school has replied the same thing saying they are looking into it. But it has been so long since they've got the results back. Hope they are not playing delay tactic and hoping we will forget. I've contemplated to go higher like MOE if need be.

Only 2 more weeks before school re-opening. Ah...you think they will bother to re-do their Overall results?

The sch has issued a letter \"Review of JH2 PE grade (swimming module)- affected students will hv their grades adjusted and a new copy of the Semester 2 and Overall Performance report printed. Students involved will be informed...\"

At the Subj combi selection parents briefing last year, the principal stressed that the current curriculum is vigorous enough and it does not mean those students not in Accelerated programmes are at a disadvantage.

Just means they'd have been prepared for A-level subjects earlier? ;D

My elder boy had left his wallet in the toilet more than once. Everytime it was picked up n sent to the GO. No money lost.
