[quote=\"24hr_mum\"]anyone in the AEP programme would like to share the pro and con of the programme? Does the programme affect the choose of subject during 3rd year?

I only know it doesn't affect the choice of subjects at Year 3. It may or may not clash with some of the accelerated programmes that are possibly held after usual curriculum time, that's all.

thanks.
My worries now is my dd take art as a hobby, she just like to draw. If Art turns up to be an exam subject it may become pressure to her, if she wants to give up after JH1 will she be allow to do so?[/quote]Did they say whether need to sign commitment form? eg. MEP - they need to sign commitment for 2yrs .

My dd was given a consent form to sign by parent after the selection test.
No further info was given. But was told during the s1 reporting day that the AEP is subsidy by MOE no drop out is allow.

If that's the case, no commitment form would be required, like MEP in other MOE MEP centers (NJC is not MOE MEP center for their secondary section so is more flexible).

But if it is a MOE AEP center, then you heard correctly. No dropout allowed for entire time the student is with NJC. If you really feel you need to, have to apply to MOE to withdraw from the Programme. Usually only allowed with extenuating circumstances.

Hi everyone I'm new here! Just received my O level results yesterday, have a raw L1R5 of 6, 4 after bonus points. I visited NJ's open house, the facilities and everything seems really nice but didn't manage to visit the CCAs :(. Anyway, could anyone share about their experiences at NJC (It's known for being a boring school, is that true or just a silly stereotype?) and the academic aspect/ teachers! :). I have a friend who claimed that the better teachers have been picked up by other schools? I'm not very outgoing so I'm ok with a more 'boring'/ 'quiet' school, but how is the school life like?

Also, if this helps, I'm currently undecided between VJC and NJC. :). I live in Serangoon area so the travelling time for both is about the same. Thank you!

My dd had a very fruitful and memorable time the last 5 days during Jh1 orientation, she enjoyed every moment and discovered her area of weakness and strength after going thru all the trials that was offered for CCA. and other activities.

Shes in the orange team led by I think, she calls them OGs… they were very encouraging, helpful and led the team very well, dd already miss them cos they come frm different levels n she felt that they put in so much time and effort that they probably missed their lessons. Anyway, their efforts were nt wasted as the group did benefit alot during the orientation. Told dd its time to mentally prepare herself for serious work next week. Glad to see the Njc spirit in her as she continue to experience the ups and down in life.
