Some promotion here! As you all know, the NJC October School Tours are coming up! It will be happening this Saturday, 13th of October and do register for it! Main highlights of the event would be the Q&A session, where parents can ask questions to the principal, vice principals, deans and heads of departments as well as others there. Also, there will be displays of our curriculum, as well as that of our history so do come! The tour will be 1.5h long, so be prepared. However, it is very informative about your child's future in NJC.


I would also like to ask a favour from the parents who are looking to send their children to NJC. What are you looking for when you come for the tour? Are you more interested in the facilities? Or the curriculum? Or whether IP is better for your child? I would be very grateful if you can give me answers so that I can better design my tour(I'm a tour guide for parents who show up late or didn't register) to suit the parents' needs.

Thank you and I hope to see you at the October School Tours this Saturday!

Thanks so much for the info

I didn't know about it so haven't registered for it but I'm really keen to go ... guess i'll be one of those in your \"didn't register\" group

Do anyone know the credit values for GS,Music,Maths,Sci,IH etc for JH1 2012 in the final computation of GPA. Is there any value for A+,B+,C+ or just the credit values for ABC.

Is NJC basing credits on 4.0 scale or 4.2 scale?Any help will be much appreciated.

4.3 I think.

The credit values are in the JH booklet - you can check on JH website on NJC's website.

Can anyone advise me whether any of your sons are in NJ? I noticed that there is a high ratio of girls to boys. How are your sons coping in such an environment?

I am in a dilemma about which school to choose. Although I have read here that NJC has a very good environment, and I want my child to have a fun childhood, I am also worried that he may not be well prepared for his A levels. After all, HCI has an established track record in both the secondary school and JC level, but NJC has not even had their first batch of 6 year students sitting for A levels.
In addition, while I like the boarding school concept in NJC as it teaches the kids to be independent, I am actually very worried about my son’s addiction to computer. I have heard stories that some kids continue with their own activities even after lights out! Aren’t there some controls around these kids?
As for HCI, I have personally heard from 2 concerned parents with kids there about a particular Chinese teacher who gave their kids a hard time as they were not good in Chinese. I had thought that being in a chinese environment would be good for his inadequate Chinese.
Hope to get some views from parents with kids in these schools.

Do you know what is the intake for NJC for IP per year now? Do they take in non-IP too?

[psle_stressed_mum]

33mama,

NJC is only IP
