Hi all,


Heard from my DD that the results of AMC is out. Is the result posted in KM ?. TIA.

What is AMC? :scratchhead:

General question to all parents:


How often do you visit "Knowledge@NJC" portal and do you find the info provided is complete and useful?

Dnls_mum:

It is Sat, so maybe some teachers had family commitments and were not able to come early. We only met the 2 personal mentors and the subject teacher of his weakest subject - Chinese!

DS says that the slides of the Principal presentation was same as the one the Principal showed and spoke to them about. So you can ask your DS/DD. He/She must have heard that speech last week. Showed how the GPA are computed. Showed the average performance of each class for each subject. Spoke about selecting top10% of Maths students for accelerated Maths. Ask for support at Funtasia. That's about it, I think.

Thanks for the answer.

When I spoke to PM and DS Maths teacher, I did have only General feedback like - \"He scored well above cohort average. So just ask him to consistently do well\". Heard something more from Maths teacher like - \"Ask him to hand-in the HW in time :shock: \".

Unless we have some specific questions about any module, this is more like a familiarisation exercise. Anyway, good to have one.

I dun know if the timeslots were given by teachers (non-negotiable) or decided by parents.


But this exceeding time limit is not only happening in NJC. My boys' primary sch also like this. The most recent one I encountered was a Chinese nationality parents checking the test paper qns with the HOD MA for their P6 boy. More than 20 mins. I was so angry, I typed a sms msg on my phone n showed to the HOD teacher in front of the parents.

We, parents, dont choose time. Time slots are given by teacher only. I couldn't get any time slot except my DS personal mentor at 8:15 AM. After I finish with him, when I saw the Maths teacher is free, I took his time for 5 minutes with his permission.

Some teachers I wanted to meet are unavailable, their desks are empty until 9 AM.

Did anyone attended Principal briefing and PAACT?

Some of you may be visiting NJC on 14th April to meet teachers.


How your DS/DD have done in Sem 1?

Care to share …

lilac_tulip:

Yes, you will receive a interim progress report before the PTM showing the Marks (in %), Percentile, Cohort mean, Grade, % Assessed and Credit for each subject. At the end of the report, there is also the Interim GPA & Percentile of Interim GPA.

Thanks.

Eagerly waiting for that.

Is there any report card (like Primary) we will be receiving for this concluded Term 1?


My DS tell the marks here and there, IH project this much, IS group project this much, LA class test this much, etc. But so far not a consolidated one, like each subject how much total for 100 or in terms of GPA.

Any seniors can advise? Thx.

Oh… Now getiing a slot also difficult.


Just now sent SMS to DS to show the letter and get time slot. Not sure will get or not. If not, call or mail is the only way left.

PAACT have AGM on the same day 9:00 AM. Any PAACT members attending?

Jennifer:

NJC cohort for JH is small, usu. no need to wait for hours.

Even if the teacher has no issue, parents should still meet the teacher when they see the teacher shaking legs while waiting for students & parents to arrive. Reason being: we can find out more on various programmes available. Knowing the available programmes mean the child can have a clearer idea of what are available and how to go abt increasing the chances the child gets into the programme.

Agreed. The teachers will definitely have something to say about students - good or bad and continuous improvement steps, if any. So, it's better to hear from them. Also, it's good time to clarify our doubts and to know about available and proposed programmes.

Parent-Teachers meeting is scheduled on 14th April saturday from 8:30 AM. Have received appointment sheet to book slots for the teachers you want to meet.


Are you planning to meet all subject teachers or just the personal mentor (class teacher)?

Principal group meeting is at 11:00 AM.
