100% of NYJC students intake are from JAE yet its A level results have been consistently better than many IP JCs. According to the A level results published there, NJC A level result slided only last year and prior years results were not as bad.

Hi, since one parent mentioned that NJC is ranked 2nd last amongst IP JCs, hence I am trying to explain where are the possible disparities. Intake is quite good for PSLE (almost the same as COP for HCI for example) but apparently A level output is not as good. It could possibly be due to the JAE intake which is the majority and the COP of NJC for JAE is definitely worse off than HCI for example. Hence, what I am trying to say is that we can't really say that NJC is not value adding to the IP students who entered in Sec 1. What NJC form teachers told us (parents) is that since sec 1, their main objective to is work our kids towards the end goal A Levels and pacing students to it.

As you rightfully pointed out, NYJC is up and coming JC, there was also one article about this school this year. This JC is like the 3rd JC in the rank after RI and HCI. Their JAE COP is also catching up RI and HCI. I do have friends' kids who qualified for IP but rather go to CCH for the affiliation to NYJC. Different students choose their paths differently for various reasons.

Anyway, as our minister says, all schools are good schools. How our kids turn out is also very much dependable on them. One at the \"best\" school can also turn out worse off than another one at the \"worst\" school.

I believe culture is equally, if not more important than results, it will help to shape our kids.

Dear parents, can I know where you send your children for tuition in JH1 for Maths & Science? Thank you so much!

Hi parent, I think most students do not have tuition in JH1. As NJC math and sci syllabus are taught more \"advance\", hence it is hard to find tuition centres unless you go for private lessons. Also, I do know NJ has consolidation lessons (like remedial lessons after school) for those who did not do that well for Math and Sci.

People are aware that Njc A level results have dropped sharply.
Its ranked 2nd last amongst IP JCs.

Let's get our kids to bring up the standard again! Was quite sad to learn that this year COP is 8. NJC has a higher cohort of JAE students compared to IP students (around IP 1/3 vs JAE 2/3) unlike other IP schools at JC level which is around IP 2/3 vs JAE 1/3. That may be a reason of not so good A level results. Also, I do hear other IP schools have O level route for those who can't keep up to maintain their A levels standard. I think NJ doesn't have O level route and I believe all the teachers will help to guide the students thru till A levels. We also hope that the new P will be able to bring up the standard of NJC again as she is ex-president scholar of NJC. Last but not least, welcome the new Sec 1s 2024!

NJC Sec follows MOE JC calendar, so it will start a week later than Sec schools. School will also end a week later than other Sec schools. Also, you are right, sec schools will end earlier than what is stated in MOE calendar for end of year. For this year, NJC sec 1 ended on 3 Nov.


Apologies as I am a noob in posting in Kiasu parents and am not very sure how to post a reply that is linked to a post. Pardon me, somehow I am not getting it right on posting a reply.

Hi, yes indeed NJC has limited CCA selections for Sec levels and no uniform groups. As each sec level is a small cohort so I guess can’t have too many CCA choices to be offered to the students. On the other hand, each class size is about 30 or lesser students, hence, it maybe a more conducive class size for learning.

To parents who are still considering if u want to choose NJC, just to share that NJC is a very down to earth school. The students are taught well with the right moral and the school motto is “Service with Honour”. It is a very friendly, sharing and caring environment. The parents who penned the last few posts really wrote what it is like about the school. There is also no locker in the whole school and no theft thus far according to the Year Head. A great place to send your kids. We have no regrets sending our kid to this school. I do hear last year choice 2 NJC, the student was balloted out. Good luck to all of u!

For parents who want to know about the gender ratio, this year intake was quite balanced. Almost 50:50.

All students qualified to take HMT will be asked for consent to take HMT or not. There are CL classes as well. To add, majority are taking HMT since students entered NJC by score will qualify to take HMT regardless whether they did HMT at pri school.
