I disagree with all the positive things about NJC cannot be experienced in HCI.


Some may say NJC is a co-ed school hence guys are more ungentlemanly, stronger character ETC than HCI, well, this is a great myth. We do have character education and other interaction points with other schools so we have to watch ourselves as well. HCI is also a super traditional school hence it does train its students well in character, proof from what I see.

HCI also have boarding experiences and WAY more overseas trips and leadership oppurtunities than NJC. NJC is clearly untested at this point as their first batch of 6 year IP students graduate in 2 years. HCI has healthy competition, it is not as competitive as all of you think though. Do you think no competition would benefit your child? Some points to ponder about. Good luck to all parents in choosing schools, I have offered my two cents worth.

Can pm if more questions

For future IP students, I do hope parents let their children play during the holidays at least. There is no point preparing for secondary 1 now really, it is way way way too early parents. Just let them do what they want, go out with friends etc but do let them do some miscellaneous work like doing housework and maybe reading books(chinese and english), which is more meaningful. But do not force them to do assesment now, it is a really bad idea. The jump from p6 to s1 is really not that great and requires fewer preparation, just remind them to start studying once school term starts(after orientation etc.)


Good luck parents, don’t force your kids too much!

Hi parents, ESSIP does not count HMT score, it is raw score. It should be on your information form, if you do not see it, that means ESSIP is NOT offered

Hey parents out there, good luck to your kids for getting into their dream school, just an advice for those high scorers, if you guys like a complete enjoyable, fulfilling and fun environment for your kids, I suggest you join Hwa Chong. They really train you to be all rounded and they have really good facilities, character education so you don’t have to worry about your kids being snobbish. There are also loads of oppurtunities there, even if your dd or ds don’t do well in their PSLE. Good luck, I remembered my apprehension in choosing HCI over RI, but I never regretted and never looked back, heading for the JC next year


So good luck to all parents and kids
