Hi hi,


Regarding school shoes, they are allowed to wear track shoes? Noticed most of the seniors wear track shoes. No need to go Bata to buy \"predominantly white shoes\" for the newbies huh.....

Wonder if any yr 1 parents have any comments. Like to share?

Thanks. :lovesite:

As long as the base is white, you can wear. Can have red, black, blue stripes or shapes.

Hi phankao,


Thanks for sharing. Where are the foreign scholars from? China?

So these scholars compete with our local kids aka DD and DS.

By the way, how many students does NJC take in at senior high upon release of A level results? What is the typical cohort at NJC that take the A level exam?

Appreciate some sharing.

2 China and 1 Indian in my ds' JH3 class of 28. Small percentage compared to our locals. But then again, even in their own JH1/JH2 cohorts, there are China and Korean students, although these came to study in Singapore much earlier in Primary school and some were even born here, so all took PSLE. Last time I've seen other names that look like the students are from Vietnam/Cambodia/Myanmar, but I'm not sure - for the JH3 new students, I mean.

For JC level, around 500+ available for external intake, I think. This is in addition to the 200+ from IP, which would have a slightly different programme from those who enter at JC1 level.

I have already bought DS new bata shoes in Dec. He'll have to wear these until they give way or out grow them before I buy him track shoes...too bad for him

On Orientation day 1, One of the parents also asked this question - \"How much white is considered as white based?\". The answer is atleast 80% in visible portion, without considering sole (or bottom) color.

The socks can be ankle socks, but the socks must be visible from outside, that means slightly above ankle. Also the socks should not be too bright colors.

How is the programme different for those from IP vs JAE?
