Hi,

My P6 DS is interested in attending NJC but is concerned about the gender ratio. Would like to ask the parents of boys / boys at NJC how they feel about having many more girls than boys in the class.
Also, is the curriculum very rigorous with many projects?

Honestly, I find that the first two years in NJ were a lot more relaxing and refreshing (esp after PSLE!) as there are no year end or mid year exams. The projects are not hard to handle (if everybody puts in effort) and the tests are easy to score in as they usually have a test after teaching a subject, when the info is still fresh in our minds. the school does provide a lot more non-academic activities which definitely highlighted my time in NJC. However, in JH3 and 4, there are a lot less projects and there are mid year and year end assesments again. For me, because of the sudden transition from the two years without exams, I did not score as well for the first midyear but I caught up and did much better in the next exam. However, I do have friends who have different opinions, and felt that JH3 and 4 were much easier than JH1 and 2 because they were more familiar with the exam format. (from pri school) Hope this helps!

Hello! I can only answer you based on the IP classes, as I'm not too sure how the JAE students are sorted.

For the current batch of IP SH2s, there are three PCME classes, two BCME classes, one arts class (ie taking two or more arts subjects), and the last two are the ones with hybrid combinations (PCML, BCMELL, PCMA etc). I'm hazarding a guess that this is similar for the JAE students, but their class ratio should be twice of the IP. Hope this helps!

Hello! Sorry but just want to find out more about the classes for the students taking P or B with CM and an arts subject that isnt econs do they all end up in the same class (regardless of P or B)? How are the last 2 'hybrid' classes split?

Hello!

Well, as for the specifics, I'm not very sure because I'm not close to the people in those classes, so I really can't offer you much detail! But I do know of people taking ELL and L in 07, and people who take Art (and maybe Music? I'm not too sure.) in 08. Hahaha i hope this helped in some way![/quote]Oh I see! Thank you!

Hello, does anybody know how people with weird combinations are put into classes? for example, are there a lot of people who take B/PCM but not take economics? Are people who take B/PCM but not econs in the same class?

BCPM has no contrasting subject so is not a viable combi

Is BCPM Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths?[/quote]sorry i meant taking bio or physics along with chem and maths but taking something like KI or History as a contrasting subject (not econs)

Hello. Does anybody know generally how well does the KI cohort do?

my dd is currently in sec 2 and insist on continuing her track and field next year, she is contemplating doing a 2nd CCA , can anyone advise whether she can drop the 2nd CCa half way during the year.

Can change CCA in Sec 3? I thought once selected the CCA, it will be with them for next 3 years?

My girl also doing 2nd CCA. :faint: She said if cannot cope can drop. :roll: :roll:

from what i know, in JH1/2 only niche CCAs are offered and the student can quit in JH3 to join a non-niche
