Of cos what. cOP is not based on results. It’s based on popularity and number of students choosing the school. If the school is at a strategic location, of cos it can attract more students to apply. When more students want to apply, COP naturally is lowered.[/quote]

It's so true. During my DS time, quite a number of my friends kids applied to VJC with net 5 pts despite the distance but was rejected and posted to their 2nd choice which was NYJC. Some appealed but were still rejected so they had no choice but to accept NYJC unwillingly. They didn't like to be associated with the Chung Cheng affiliations & the Chinese Huey Kuan backing. Subsequently, their siblings gave up the idea of putting VJC as first choice since they didn't want to risk being rejected and disappointed. NYJC became the first choice. This is possibly one reason why it is becoming more popular too. Location and newer facilities are also its plus point.

AJC, on the other hand, was well known for its poor physical environment. Blame it on MOE ba? I recall someone saying that the monkey bar gave way while his kid tried on it during the OH. One of the buildings were poorly positioned so the classrooms were very warm during afternoon lessons and the list went on...
But I've heard most of the issues are already resolved this year. The warm classrooms are now air-conditioned and they have revamped some dated facilities.

Hello guys! I suppose this thread is for ASRJC pupils and parents to share their experiences and journey in this new merged JC. Please refrain from ‘kiasuly’ comparing which JC is better and criticising how standard must have dropped in a certain JC and such. As we all know, there are many factors affecting the choice of a JC and not due simply to the Principal or teachers of the school. By boasting, you are actually giving bad impressions to others about NYJC or EJC. As the saying goes '有其父（母）必有其子（女）‘. Others will think badly of the students of these JCs since they have such kiasu, boastful, inconsiderate and narrow-minded parents.

Please show more graciousness and keep your feet off your neighbour’s backyard.
Thank you!

NYJC could have done better than that?

Either the school is very strict with the marking scheme or the students waste too much time on b-g-r. My personal observation is that there are many 'couples' in nyjc. The most I've seen among all the jcs. It's comparable to cjc during my school days. :callme:

Pls lah :rotflmao: :rotflmao: In this generation if there isnt much b-g-r then there is really issue with the sch culture liao. If most of the students are not friendly towards each other either the students got no life and only knows how to mug or something is wrong to the extent that they are cold towards one another.

And if the students can't even maintain a good working relationship with the opposite sex how do u expect they can work well when it comes to uni and even workplace (unless u r expecting them to work in the SAF, which also have female regulars)

Even top schools like RI and Hwa Chong have lots of b-g-r all along in their culture (i m a HCI alumnus btw and can say my observations would tell u otherwise), and the results fm the two schs are still as solid all along (NYJC's result was decent also, same logic). So i dont see what is so concerning about it as long they don't cross the line.[/quote]Hmmm..... you do not understand the difference between camaraderie and BGR. :rotflmao:

Well, RI & HCI pupils are the elites now and they can afford to spare some time for romance. Anyway, in this dynamic society, your jc time & the present may see much changes in its standard and culture so you can't be sure. And not forgetting that more places for medicine are being allocated to pupils from any jc now. Pupils from those top JCs also need to be vigilant.

Don't you think the relatively poor PW performance of nyjc is a cause for concern?
I gathered that 43% of the pupils did very well in nyjc. How about the results of the bulk, 57% of them? Has BGR affected their performance? We can't be sure so I am puzzled why you were laughing to brush off the issue ? :evil:

Markers22:

Hi! I am a student currently studying at PJ and saw this post. Heard from my friends there that NY was one of the schools that was moderated by SEAB. Perhaps that played a large part. The part on bgr I aren't sure but may not be dat much bah. Idk but I feel the culture there at NY is like more conservative than PJ leh

Can you please elaborate on moderation by SEAB for PW? Do you mean SEAB will only choose a few JCs to moderate their grades each year and not done across the board? Doesn't seem to be the norm for SEAB which always emphasises on 'fairness', ie, if they moderate, it will be done across ALL JCs and not on random basis.

As for the culture of schools, one has to be in it to see the full picture anyway.

Greetings,

A level results day 23th, we were in college.
Cohort 2017 of Nyjc did very well- better than 2016 cohort.
Pls see NYJC U-Tube video on 2017 A level results.

Principal shared verbally in hall:
- all subjects with 99.XX % passes
- he read out many H1/H2 subjects with Distinctions above National Avg
- specially mentioned that GP Distinctions was better than yr 2016- above 42% ( National Avg is 24.4%).
- more than 4 out of 10 students got 3 H2 Distinctions with GP passes.



From my own observation:
- This yr, numbers of students with 3H2 Distinctions with GP passes is closed to 300 ( I counted students going up stage but kind of lost count. Ny Facebook stated that number is also closed to 300 ). Based on yr 2017 cohort, that is about 43-44%.
Year 2016 there were 251 students ( I have Nyjc annual 2017 yearbook confirmed 251 students got 3 H2 Distinctions).


- H2 Chemistry 66.3%
- H2 Maths 68% , Further Maths 75% ( reported by another parent)

Congratulations to nyjc! What is its average rank point?
I heard that while many did very well, some of DC's friends' seniors did not perform as expected.
The average rank point will be a better indicator.
Your DC was from nyjc? Do share his achievement and why you would recommend nyjc.

http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/affected-students-mostly-happy-with-awarded-grades

From above article, one of the affected nyjc students stated that he had left 1/3 of the script unanswered but somehow got an A. I wonder if that incident helped to improve nyjc's chem and overall performance too? Afterall, the national exam is about how you perform on one exam and not taking one's past performances in school into consideration. Paper 3 is also by far the most challenging paper among the 4 papers.

[quote=\"mindays\"]Crester, is this the post you are referring to? http://xinminsec.moe.edu.sg/xss/highlights/former-students-of-xinmin-secondary-done-well-in-2016-a-level-examinations

This looks like a solid piece of evidence that a non-IP school can also produce students with excellent results, especially if it value-adds. Congrats to these graduants :congrats:

Congrats to XSS former students who had done well in their A levels.

Although the distinctions listed are a combination of both H1 and H2 subjects, all the pupils should be lauded for their tremendous effort put in. XSS is certainly proud to have instilled the value of conscientiousness in continual learning among its pupils.

It seems like the bulk of the top pupils of XSS had chosen NYJC, maybe due to proximity. XSS has a small pool of PRC and Asean scholars and I can relate some names from the list.

This post I read and need to comment about you.
What's your actual purpose of yr message here.
2nd paragraph- 'ALTHOUGH' the word you used.
Yes, distinctions listed can be both H1 n H2, you need not highlight this fact. Just
congratulate the pupils will do.
3rd paragraph- 'Top pupils of XSS had chosen NYJC maybe due to proximity'.
What makes you so sure is this reason they chose NYJC? Why don't you mention
pupils chose NYJC due to its academic standard as well. Don't assume it's
proximity reason and keeps stressing it. If want to say, say maybe due to proximity
and NYJC standard.
- how you so sure some names are PRC and Asean scholars?Assume again.
- what's wrong with PRC and Asean scholars? Don't discriminate though you didn't
comment about them but don't need bring them in your post.
Be gracious and just say XSS and NYJC have taught these Top pupils well.
You are that kind of person people always say \"double faces\"- say something yet have double meaning in your words.
I finished my saying. Don't want to discuss more.[/quote]Don't get me wrong, grandma. I thought enough publicity has been done by some parents here already so I must congratulate XSS ex-pupils since the link was created by XSS and it shows other JCs too. If I comment on NYJC, then I need to do so for the rest of the JCs mentioned.

I thought only those parents need to...and now even the 'grandparent' needs to solicit praises from the public? :faint:
Notice you just joined recently. :? :evil: You sure know what I see. Take it easy.

I have my reasons for bringing in NJC this year, okay, allow me to explain, no offense intended.

I took note of NJ's results as follows:
H2 Subjects with at least 50% Distinctions
• Art
• Chinese Language & Literature
• Economics
• French
• German
• History
• Knowledge & Inquiry
• Mathematics
• Physics
• Tamil Language & Literature

Note that these H2 subjects are mostly taken by the minorities of NJ: Art, Chinese Language & Literature, French, German, Knowledge & Inquiry, Tamil Language & Literature. 6 out of 10 of the subjects that were posted on its website are subjects that are taken by the minority of the students (assuming the popular science courses in NJC is just as regular as the other JCs: PCME and BCME) Note that common humanities like Geography and Literature are not above the 50% rate.

NJC had 46% of its students scoring at least 3H2 distinctions LAST YEAR (2015 A level results).NJC has also been relatively silent about its A level results for 2016 as compared to 2015. This may mean that the 2016's results may not be as good as 2015's. This means that there may be fewer than 46% of its students achieving 3H2 distinctions. In contrast to NYJC, taking that the cohort size is 700 and 260 of them got 3H2 distinctions, the percentage (rounded down to be more prudent) is 37%. That's why I said that NYJC is probably comparable to NJC.

Given that NJC is well known for its science related programmes and its excellence in that, I would have expected its results for H2 Chemistry and H2 Biology to be one of the subjects that exceeds 50% distinction rates. As a top 5 JC (or supposedly so), it is a given that H2 Math and H2 Sciences subjects (majority take PCME too) should surpass the 50% barrier. In this case, H2 Math did and H2 Physics too. This brings me to the point that NJC may not have done as well as the other IPJCs like VJ or DHS, not to even compare with RI or HCI.

Out of all the IP JCs (there are 7 which take the A levels (2016 batch)), I took the last 3 of the tier (TJC, RVHS and NJC) and said that it is probably comparable to a top non-IP JC (in this case NYJC, but to be more correct, ACJC as its 6/7 for that year) based on COP. Rationale: logically speaking, these non-IPJCs should comprise of top o level students that didn't go IPJCs, hence COP is used.

I have no ill intentions to downgrade any JCs but rather to show that non-IP JCs can be as capable as IPJCs.

NJC has achieved so many subjects with at least 50% distinctions (including 3 subjects from the most popular PCME) and here you are trying very hard to downplay its performance and squeeze in NYJC, while dragging ACJC along, to equate itself with NJC's performance!!
Sadly, the closest that NYJC can get is to be at par with NJC COP this year due to its popularity. :razz:
There's no evidence to prove that NYJC is probably comparable to TJC and RVHS too.

Of course you can exaggerate all that you want as you know NYJC principal will never reveal any statistics to give your past false declarations away. :evil:

Your declared that NYJC had obtained above 60% distinctions in H2 Math and Chemistry. Show us the evidence. Are these the only 2? How about the rest of the subjects? NJC has gotten 10 subjects above 50% distinctions, mind you.

P/S: How to leave the 2 circus friends here alone to direct and indulge in their own drama. :slapshead:

Crester:

In conclusion, I shall share a bit of NYJC strong performance A Level results ( being a Non IPJC ), which is Comparable to a JC in Bukit Timah, in my next posting soon.
Thanks.

Great! We will be waiting. We need concrete proof such as official publishing please.

A piece of advice: Don't try to exaggerate on NYJC's performance so that you don't have to ward off your 'unwelcomed guests' which you viewed as trouble makers later.
