Hi everybody, I am new to this forum and I hope to learn from all of you. 7 Jan is the orientation day involving parents as well. Just wondering where can we park the car as we were told that there won't be any parking available for parents. I have a baby so may be inconvenient to take public transport. Any advice? Thanks

I had baby then too. I just ask my dh to drop me & baby & sec 1 child along Dunearn and we walk in like all the others. And have dh find some where to park the car. *haha* Can be anywhere in the estate if he can't find in the school! But in the end, he drove into the school and parked next to the sports complex (in front the track/field). They directed the cars that drove into the school.

Thanks. By the way, is art and music elective compulsory for JH1?

hello i'm not exactly sure, but the average timing for normal combis should be about 3-4.30. But for those who take odd combi, they can end at 7 - with lots of breaks in the middle. <-- This was what i heard from my seniors, but i'm not sure.
for JC1s, they are starting two periods (i believe) of boarding program of 3 weeks each, the cohort will be separated, not sure how though. It is also likely to have boarding after a week of orientation.
for JC2s, it's isn't confirmed yet, they might be starting this year --> for that, i have no idea.

Boarding is only for JC1. It's only for like 5 or 6 weeks, I think. (sorry, I have no children in JC level, so that's about as much as I know.).

I would've thought most JCs have around the same haphazard timings for lessons? THere are breaks throughout the day, depending on the day/subjects taken. On some days there might be lectures ending 5pm even?

For NJC Tues/Thurs should be the shorter days?

By the way, why don't you sign up for the SH ( JC level) tours which are scheduled on 9 & 10th January 2013. Then can get your queries answered by the student leaders and the teachers/dean, etc.
