HI,


I hope I am posting this question in the right place. My child is in p6 and out of the blue, she is keen to look at NJC and also give a shot for DSA into this school. I know very little about the school. Can parents here help to shed some light on school life and your kid’s experiences in NJC. The academic rigor, special program and etc…
I understand that boarding school is a must. Is it for whole of 6 years and do they have to board for one term? Are the school hours long? And is it true that they get to try out all ccas during the first year before deciding on which one they would go into to? What if my child is already engaged in a sport that the school does not offer, and is already doing it competitively. for example - sailing, ice-skating…
Any info to help me understand and know the school better wd b very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

anyone with good chinese tutor to recommend? My child is in Sec 3 and doing HCL. thank you

Hi,

apologies to all for repeated postings regarding my question abt. Aitong school. I thot my posting did not get through and that's why the repeated postings..

Apologies again

yeah, know abt thos facts and figures that it is not an easy school to get in… More interested in what’s the school culture like? Teachers like? Principal like?

Hi,

I plan to put my kid there.. Any comments from parents whose kids are already in there?? Or have been there?

chief kiasu, where do U send yr kid for chinese enrichment? Mine (k2)is at Berries but was told it is good and yes, my kid thoroughly enjoys it. Was told that once U hit P 1, they may not be the best as they tend to be geared towards ‘fun fun’ and less academic… (well, whatever that means… ). I hv heard Jiang at Fu lu shou is really good. But it is not feasible for me…

yes, i kinda agree… U may be able to survive P1 and P2… But the higher the level, how well yr foundation had been is gonna show. Am looking at Aitong and hv been talking to parents whose kids had just graduated from there and apparently, hv not got very feedback with regards to the school…


Btw, how long is a principal expected to stay? Or allowed to stay? Many people I checked with says it is 5 years but I have seen principals who stayed longer than that…
