Also do take note that secondary school is definitely more tedious than primary and will have more activities (and extra commitments) for the students, so the ability to cope and juggle all these stuff would be essential for those who wants to take up 3rd Lang.

Heard there's a 5% dropout rate in Yr 3 in NJC???

this year?

I think Year 3 probably has one of them more challenging assessments/exams so that those who cannot cope can quickly look for an alternative mainstream secondary school and do the O levels. It's be really too late at Sec 4, right?

Hi, I would just like to ask if NJC still accept students from other schools in SG in Yr 3.

Yes, I'm sure they still do.

Well, then, how do we apply? Coz i can't find anything about it in the school web.

Now the school only scouts for Foreign Scholars that they bring in at Year 3 for the IP programme Returning students? Haven't heard about them - I guess they just apply directly to the school under some private arrangement.

Even if they don't have a formal procedure, you can always call up and ask. But the school has the prerogative to refuse.[/quote]

It differs for different levels and also at different timings so you would have to refer to the timetable given.

For example, JH2s during Term 4, the latest dismissal timing is 4pm on Mondays as they have SPIRE then. However, during the rest of the year the latest would be 3pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
