Hello! To answer your questions directly:hi,
I have a friend whose son sitting O level this year, considering National JC for \"A\" level, next year.
He wants to find out -
is it true that JAE (Joint Admission Exercise) students, who enter NJC after \"O\" :-
- their \"A\" classes are different from those of the IP students, who had entered at Sec 1, 4 years ago ?
- \"A\" level Teachers assigned to teach IP students : do not teach JAE students ?
ie. there are separate group of Teachers, teaching IP vs JAE students separately,
- \"A\" level Teachers assigned to teach JAE students : are less experienced than those teaching IP students ?
- As of the 2016 batch of SH1s, the school is still maintaining the separation between the IP students and JAE students. There have been talks about integrating the form classes for years now, but nothing has changed since 3 years ago. The only common slot we share is during lectures, though subject combinations with lesser students and odd timetables (I suppose 'odd' would be a hybrid combination.) will see the students being put in the same subject (not form!) class. The JAE and IP students in the more common combinations (typical BCME, PCME, HELM etc) will pretty much be separated from each other throughout the two years.
- Teachers teach both IP and JAE classes. Though the segregation among students is quite obvious, please don't worry about the teachers favouring IP students-- I personally didn't know any SH teachers until last year, and I'm pretty sure they didn't know many people from the IP cohort too. To give you some peace of mind-- my Economics tutor has two JAE classes along with my class, my Mathematics tutor also has two (or three? I'm not too sure.) JAE classes along with my class under his belt. Teachers usually have more JAE classes than IP classes, simply because the class ratio of IP:JAE students is about 1:2.
I hope this helps!

Just being curious - which group of students do better in A levels since they are classed separately? -

I'm actually not too sure myself because they do not break down the statistics according to IP/JAE students during results release.hippopotamus:

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 -

sorry for being a noob here…I am planning about what schools might be suitable for my gals 3 years later and NJC came to mind (sorry purely due to location)…
Can parents share why would you choose NJC over other schools around the same COP around the vicinity? -

I did not make the choice for my elder boy. He based his decision on the following considerations:sorry for being a noob here....I am planning about what schools might be suitable for my gals 3 years later and NJC came to mind (sorry purely due to location)....

1. a primary school classmate has a DSA spot in NJC
2. it is a co-ed school -
