My ds chose MJ over possibly TJ (he got 7 net) because he does not want to be stressed he says. Does anyone know anything about MJ? I think it's an ok jc. I have no idea how jc life will be like nor am i very familiar with the points or how they calculate the exam results.

I hope not to be slammed but I am just sharing what I heard from various sources that MJ is much better than TJ although TJ has the IP prog.

I don't have the details but this is what is circulating around.

As long as the child feels he is in the right place, he will do ok.

Actually I find the comparison between diff schools very lame.

Yes there is PE. You can go without CCA but then there won't be much to write in your testimonial/T3A. No bonus pt but outstanding cca can be used for discretionary admission into uni (rep singapore) and for those courses that req interview eg law/med/den they will look at your cca records also as one differentiating factor.

This thread is really difficult to locate. Hoping the moderators can sticky it in the tertiary/A level forum.


How was orientation for your kids? My dd thoroughly enjoyed herself. Real school’s starting now, with lectures underway.

My DD settling nicely in Catholic JC. Subject selection of her choice with 4H2 appeal approved.
1) MAths
2) Econs
3) English Language & Lingustic
4) Lit
In hindsight, this is best that could have happen to her, though she was keen to go ACJC/NYJC.

DD is settling well into new school. i was initially apprehensive if she, a jae student, could fit well into a IP jc. Glad she enjoyed her orientation. Even had to remind her to come back earlier each night. She likes her new class too.
