Hello! I live in the Serangoon area too!

Contrary to popular belief, NJ is not a boring school. I love NJ, just like one loves his family. NJ IS family, as a matter of fact. However, we do not have elitism. We love anyone and everyone. In NJ, there will be a lot of interaction opportunities across the levels as well and both the juniors and seniors are really close! (We juniors are always sad to see the seniors go after their A levels) School life is really vibrant to me as there are lots of activities going on and lots of things to discover! Trust me, you'll be outgoing when you come to NJ! Our Orientation will open you up and soon you will be chatting away like there's no tomorrow.

As for the academics side, I'm not too sure about the JC curriculum, but the tutorial notes are a lot less thicker than in HCI or RI(JC). As for the teachers, it really depends as we both have very strict teachers as well as very kind and encouraging teachers, but both kinds want you to do well.

For the CCA side, NJC is legendary for its strong canoeing team. However, I'm not too sure for the rest.

I hope you find this useful and that you will come to NJ! We welcome you with open arms!

Hello! Thank you very much for your sharing haha, I'm definitely considering nj haha. I heard your principal can be quite fierce! :P. Are you from junior high/ secondary, or which year? :). Anyway it's always nice to see people liking their school, and hopefully I'll join you & everyone else soon!

I'm from JH3! Yay I hope to see you donning the grey uniform too!

My DD is considering of DSA into NJC. She is P6 this year. Can anyone share all about the DSA? What to prepare? What the sch is looking at? Or anyone who had gone thru the DSA can share his/her experience?


TIA

If I'm not wrong it should be Mathematics Matters 1&2. However, we do not refer to the textbooks at all except for doing our homework, where the homework questions are from the book.

Hello!
I believe that firstly, your child has to be eager and keen in going to NJ. After they have deemed you to be talented and worthy, they seek for the right attitude and spirit. One of the students in the DSA group I took care of last year had went through the entire NJ website and had already done her homework on all the facilities and programs in NJ and I was surprised at her deep understanding of her knowledge of NJC. She got in. (I was her Orientation Group Leader.) I believe that taking the initiative to understand the school as well as having a clear direction on your life is not only what NJ, but other schools look for as well in their potential students.

Hi

can someone shed some light on the various class positions that the students can run for? DS told me there are posts for president (is it similar to class monitor?), IT champion, subject reps, NE ambassadors (?what’s that?)… but when i asked what the responsibilities were, he was just as clueless.

1) If you have nothing to DSA with then you won't be successful in DSA.

2) No idea.

Yes . Say what u know . They may lead you from the first sentence of what you say . Example if you say about current affair , you must prepare the latest current affair . Present confidently . NJC is a great place. My dd looks forward going to school everyday .
