Just heard from my niece that her cohort is not interested in graduation prom night this year. She said dat the CT reps were told only around 40 to 50 people going, and the classes were planning for chalets only after everyone finished their A levels. Tho one thing she say the thing is too expensive (she mentioned their prom is $90 when other JCs like HCJC had theirs at $60 at Gardens by the Bay)


Is it legit? Its the first time I am hearing something like this in this generation, so hardworking and reckoning till laidat...

Lack of cohesiveness among pupils of NYJCians, money or other issues? I thought a parent here mentioned the JC is like a big family? Over at RI, no such problem when their prom cost $90 too. Furthermore, wedding dinners at hotels cost over $1500 per table these days. $90 is reasonable. Even my nephew's O lvl grad night in a hotel cost $75/pax. Heard the response was very good. Those under FA were given free tickets. Surely NYJC can do better than this?

Only 40 or 50 out of almost 700 pupils going to prom night only? Serious?? Low morale possibly. There were so many nyjcians in my kid's heartland tuition centre and per 2h-session is already $90.

Nyjc was one of the lowest ranking JCS in my time. It’s difficult to change its image for middle-aged parents like myself. Most parents without kids at JCS aren’t aware of its current status too as Nyjc had been a dumping JC for a long time. So I can understand why some parents in this thread are desperate to sell it. You may but please do it honourably and with class.

:congrats:

Awesome!

That's an impressive photo. Sorry but why is it that only 36 NYJCians names are being mentioned when there are so many scholars in the picture?[/quote]Rainbowie, I was just as impressed like you at a glance. Why post such a picture to mislead? Just mention 30+ of the awardees are nyjcians.
I can conclude that nyjc is champion for the number of kiasuparents and ex-pupils. Nyjc is still not an impressive brand name to many of us and definitely falls behind names like Acjc, Ejc and even Tjc so these people are working very hard for the school.

I am not really sure about how dey taught @ NYJC but judging from the difficulty standard of NYJC papers for the sci subjs their standards shd b on par with other top JCs IMO. I took Phy Chem Math for H2 science subjs so not too sure abt Bio.

Did NY papers as student when I was in HCJC. Thr phy paper standards are somewhat similar to what the few top tier JCs have out thr (don't feel like their standards were anywhere lower than us either). For maths their paper is considered to be challenging for an average student actually (if doing under time constraints) but is of quality as the qns are very specific and drills solidly on concepts. (NY math papers are usually put aside in our revision packages as hard papers back then, heard the papers are tougher recently)

NYJC Chem Papers are well known to be killer papers (that is my only comment tbh)... is even more cancer than my own college's papers IMO. (dat somewhat explains for their distinction rate) Last time we got this joke in chem: 5 papers from the top JCs: HC=can do, VJ=can do, NJ=can do, RJ=smart ass can do, AJ-cannot do, NY-forget it u never can do :rotflmao:

If NY can secure almost on-par results with VJ and even surpassing NJ for A'lvls I don't see how NY's teaching standards can be low. :skeptical:

That must be in the past, bro. My daughter is doing her A levels at the moment. She mentioned that other than RI(JC) and HCI(JC) prelim papers which are killer-papers, the rest of them, including Chemistry for NYJC, are manageable and not distinguishable from other JCS papers, i.e., a combination of both easy and difficult questions.
Can you please explain how NY has 'secure almost on-par results with VJ and even surpassing NJ for A'lvls' which is very misleading? You shouldn't post such misdeclaration in public unless you have obtained all the information for comparison from these 3 JCS which obviously you are not able to. Is this your 'marketing' tactic to win top JAE pupils over to Nyjc? It's not right but despicable!
I agree that Nyjc is a good JC but please don't forcefully over-valuate it such that it becomes a laughing-stock to parents of other JCS

Weirddad:

If I am not mistaken for the last 3 years Nan Chiau High was the main feeder school for NYJC, with about 96 students for year 2016 (Chung Cheng High 2 sch combined was a notch more than 100). That is more than Chung Cheng Main or Chung Cheng Yishun if counting on single schools. The rest of the 600 plus vacancies is distributed among students from der rest of der 198 schools.

For 2017, the bulk is shared among Nan Chiau High, Nan Hua High and the affiliated Chung Cheng High (Main & Yishun).

So actually there is no need to worry too much of the affiliation matters. As long as your DC meets the criteria he/she shd be able to get in. (its not dat competitive compared to IP schools like NJC, HCI, RI and Eunoia JC where there only 200 plus vacancies)

There is about 30% of NanCHiau and ChungCheng High ex-pupils in Nyjc! Total intake is less than 700 in total as someone mentioned in this thread earlier.
