checked with my dd, she heard 30 COs offered this yr dsa so base on her estimation,could be 50 foreign students, So total 80

May I know how did she know or why did she assume got 50 foreign students? I recall a parent called NJ to ask now many COs were given out and the 40 number was given. Did NJ say that this year they offered 50 foreigners on top of the 30 COs? I am really surprised.......

Do they offer foreign students at Year 1? I haven't heard about that before. Usually foreign scholars are taken in only at year 3.

Yes. JH1/2 wear shorts for boys and shorts and skirts are a darker shade of grey. Shirt/blouse also diff, no pockets. JH3 onwards wear the traditional NJ uniform.

I asked dd n she said she obtained info frm her clasmate and another parent whose dd recved CO, could be speculation.

Do you know what does NJC look for in DSA (more details on top of the ones described in the webpage)?

in terms of CCA, during interview, etc what do they look for?

The webpage states very clearly what they require.. they offer a broadbase curriculum so looking for someone holisitic in nature, able to cope and adapt... leadership qualities and independent.

We went for the school tour last week . My dh very happy about the curriculum offer by NJC. He said that he knows my girl will enjoy her schooldays there .

I hope so but I’m worry for some some subjects like critical thinking which I really catch no ball and wonder how to help her .

I went too, dh also felt the same and feel that they offer a better programme than the normal sec schs. He feels their curriculum is more suited for dd. About critical thinking, I hv no idea but dont think its something that can be taught, must ask dd.
