To parents who are still considering if u want to choose NJC, just to share that NJC is a very down to earth school. The students are taught well with the right moral and the school motto is “Service with Honour”. It is a very friendly, sharing and caring environment. The parents who penned the last few posts really wrote what it is like about the school. There is also no locker in the whole school and no theft thus far according to the Year Head. A great place to send your kids. We have no regrets sending our kid to this school. I do hear last year choice 2 NJC, the student was balloted out. Good luck to all of u!

Good to hear from you about the vibes in NJC. The only qualms I have with NJC is the selection of CCAs. No uniform groups ah. Nevertheless, still good school to send kids there. I believe if choice 2 got balloted out, it is those with AL7 and put NJC as 2nd choice. Seems like those who indicate NJC as first choice if they have AL7 would have an almost sure chance of getting in.

Hi, yes indeed NJC has limited CCA selections for Sec levels and no uniform groups. As each sec level is a small cohort so I guess can’t have too many CCA choices to be offered to the students. On the other hand, each class size is about 30 or lesser students, hence, it maybe a more conducive class size for learning.

NJC Sec follows MOE JC calendar, so it will start a week later than Sec schools. School will also end a week later than other Sec schools. Also, you are right, sec schools will end earlier than what is stated in MOE calendar for end of year. For this year, NJC sec 1 ended on 3 Nov.


Apologies as I am a noob in posting in Kiasu parents and am not very sure how to post a reply that is linked to a post. Pardon me, somehow I am not getting it right on posting a reply.

Thanks for the tips on NJC. I think this year many people are choosing branded school and NJC does not benefit from it. Perhaps only in the arena of JCs, it is considered a good one since our Prime Minister was from there. So this year there was no balloting for those with AL7 but the COP is now at AL8 instead. Nevertheless, the students going to NJC would still very competitive in all their subjects. I have a hunch that the students there are more diverse in ethnicities which is good for our children. Rather than just be surrounded by one gender or by majority of one race, it is much better to mix around with people who are more diverse.

Let's get our kids to bring up the standard again! Was quite sad to learn that this year COP is 8. NJC has a higher cohort of JAE students compared to IP students (around IP 1/3 vs JAE 2/3) unlike other IP schools at JC level which is around IP 2/3 vs JAE 1/3. That may be a reason of not so good A level results. Also, I do hear other IP schools have O level route for those who can't keep up to maintain their A levels standard. I think NJ doesn't have O level route and I believe all the teachers will help to guide the students thru till A levels. We also hope that the new P will be able to bring up the standard of NJC again as she is ex-president scholar of NJC. Last but not least, welcome the new Sec 1s 2024!

Dear parents, can I know where you send your children for tuition in JH1 for Maths & Science? Thank you so much!

100% of NYJC students intake are from JAE yet its A level results have been consistently better than many IP JCs. According to the A level results published there, NJC A level result slided only last year and prior years results were not as bad.
