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 .

Think you worry too much.

The teachers will teach the necessary.

Does anyone know any drop out cases in NJC ? I read in another thread that even students scoring 250 plus can't make it in IP?

Have confidence in your child lah. Let the teachers do the teaching and the child do the learning. If your child does his/her work consistently, should be ok lor. And there is no way you can continue to be teaching your child everything like in primary school. Even if you are a teacher, there is no way for you to know everything. Don't worry lah. My DS is coping fine even though his PSLE not so good. In fact some of those with better PSLE results are not doing as well as him now. PSLE score alone does not determine the ability of the child to cope.

Thanks Jennifer and Dnls mum for your encouragement and advice .

I think my girl is more confident than I . Haha ! That’s explain why she got in but not me .

I share the same sentiment, as dd was offered another CO, I have been been asking her to consider seriously but her mind has been set on Nj since a year back.

I do not know of dropout cases, my boy is not active in the grapevine.

Whatever the PSLE score is, as long as the child pays attention in class, follows up on school work diligently n consistently, I believe the child will do ok.

Pardon me, I think you might need to discontinue reading those stressful threads. Hear more positive ones.
