Thks for the info on Sch strengths n DSA matters. My DD is strong in her languages. I wld think she will do well in humanities. Though she has been scoring above 85 consistently for her Maths n Sci, they are still not her forte. She puts in a considerable amt of time n effort to do well in Math n Sci but for the languages, she just has the flair n cld score even with min effort.


In view of that, then is NJC which is strong in Maths n Sci still suitable for her?

Off course there are opportunities in Humanities BUT she has to work harder on Maths and Science as well. Students cover mostly sec 2 and some sec 3 syllabus in Maths and Science in year 1 itself. So they are min. 1 year or 2 years ahead of their peers in normal sec.schools. Even offering Humanities they still need to offer 2 sciences at A level :imcool:

May I know which text book do you used for sec 1 Maths? Thanks.

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.

Thanks for your reply.

Hello!
In NJC, there will be projects requiring the use of computers for presentations, reports and the occasional videos. However, it is fine if you do not own your own tablet PC/ laptop as there is a computer lab which you can access for your own personal use.

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.

Hello!
There are many leadership roles that you can take on in NJC.
For class positions, there are:
NE Rep (The NE Rep works closely with the NE committee to organise and participate in National Education activities as well as being reponsible for ensuring that the class is well informed about national issues by pinning up news articles on the noticeboard)
Class Chairman(Class monitor)
Vice Chairman (There may or may not be this role, depending on the decision of the teacher)
Secretary/ Welfare Rep (This Rep is in charge of the class' overall well being and also organises birthday celebrations)
Treasurer
VIA Rep (This Rep will be in charge of organising Values In Actions activities(Community Involvement Programme) for the class so that they can meet the minimum requirement for their CIP hours (6 hours). From JH3 onwards, the VIA rep has to create and organise CIP activities for the class.)
IT Rep (The IT Rep helps to set up the computer and projector for the teachers.)
Subject Reps (The subject reps works with the subject teachers and would relay information from the teacher to the class as well as collect homework)
