[quote=\"panickymum\"]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.
Are u applying under sec1 posting?

Likely to accept the CO thru DSA . I'm just worry will she be able to cope ?[/quote]
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.

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?

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.

To-date, I've only heard of 2 cases in my boy's cohort. Both GPA below 1 (which is extremely low).

But seriously, if your child follows his lessons in school, he/she would not get such extremely low marks. Most students are able to cope.

Thanks everyone for the advice . Seems that the rumors are not that scary .

I’m sure my dd will enjoy NJC curriculum . After the tour , even my younger girl in p4 told me that she will work hard and aim for NJC .

I have signed the preference form for NJ. Honestly, I prefer my dd to be in NJ then to choose an all girls sec school.

Hee hee .. It still is, but sadly times hv changed and ppl too. Ive seen and heard cases of others frm dds sch posted there n r nt too happy with the current crowd n environment. Since NJ is dds dream sch andt the curriculum fits her better, i think its high time she expose herself to a different crowd and come out of an all girls sch environment.

moonee,


besides yr daughter, any idea how many other 2012 P6 RGPS batch also select co-ed NJC - both mainstream and GEP ?
