The reply from NJC finally came today "It is compulsory to take either Mother Tongue OR Higher Mother Tongue in NJC."

That sounds like HMT is not compulsory. Interesting, because they made it very clear during the Open House/School Tour briefing that HMT was compulsory. Several parents sought clarification then and they repeated that HMT was compulsory.

Hi Phankao,

No my dd's not going NJC. We went to the Open House because we were quite interested initially. How come their school year's only starting on 11 Jan? Is your child going NJC?

Mine has offer. I don't know how come they start 1 week later. Just that the school says.

That's because the JC school year starts later. Next year HCI will also start 11 Jan.

Hi,


Are there any parents with older children in NJC? I would like to know how is the appeal process to NJC and last year does anyone know what was the COP likely to be accepted with appeal ?

We are at 256, 3 points from 259 and not sure if this year COP will inc or decrease. NJC is admitting 200 students this yr as compared to 150 last year. Looks like a better chance, but still not sure if 3 pts is too away. Please advice if u have any experience :?:

Try, why not?
I'm a student too, and I'm at 257, and I'm also trying.
Its all by merit, not by choice.
It wouldn't affect your chance of entry for your previous choices.
I'm putting it as 2nd choice.

So what is your first choice of school? If ur firsdt choice of schoolis one whose COP is below 257, then u will surely get that school and NJC as second choice is more of a safety net.

I was looking at NJC as first choice to try if this year's COP gets a lower than 259.

Any NJC parents, please advice ....
