Strangely I don’t see it as a top school.. even if they do share fantastic results. There’s a lot of room for improvement.
what i heard fr my child whose frens went nyjc , the flexibilty of subject combi which is termed as \"Hybrid\"
so no hard line to draw difference between Sci or Art subjects combi.
Since the last two yrs cop dropped further, it seem that next yr and the yr after A level results should be /by right
with better projection of good results , high rank points - only if the jc is more open to share info -

It's ok.... I am just curious how flexible is the flexibility.... Don't think there will be any answers from proper channels... Only insiders who have being in the school will know....
Hi Dino, this.. I am not sure. Maybe you can email the school to ask.[/quote] -

There is not even one full mark subject. No full mark, no top school

Chill out at the school over weekend; tender foods and drinks, affectionate paintings. Cheers :celebrate: -
Ok conclusion is, if cannot get into HCI/ RIJC, choose NYJC. If cannot get into NYJC, never mind, there is still a backup EJC. If cannot get into EJC, still have NJC/ DHS/ VJC. If cannot get into all these JCs, just choose Polytechnic. 😀

How did you arrive at this? Are you referring to these as your choices? Or your child’s choices?

I would definitely not conclude this way. -

Even my children said this is not correct. DD1 said only NYJC allows that, while her JC does not.
This perspective resonates with me. I feel there’s good value (for a student) in being able to choose subjects freely.[/quote]
EJC cop is 6 and 8 for Sc and Art steam. If I were 8 pointer, I get in first to the JC of my choice then switch to Sc stream. Won’t it be unfair to those 6 pointers who put Sc first and got balloted out?
It’s not flexibility, just abusing the system to benefit a handful while a much larger group out there suffers in silence. If rules are not followed to the dot, what is the incentive to be law-abiding? Does MOE condone such blatant gaming of the system? -

Not saying this is correct. It is “good value” for a child who doesn’t know what he wants yet.
Even my children said this is not correct. DD1 said only NYJC allows that, while her JC does not.

Good morning lee_yl. It is not that bad actually.

- those got ballot out still can study Sc stream in other JCs. Not to overlook: those 6 pointers won’t even qualify for Art stream in some other JCs.
- or they too can also select Art stream in NYJC and still get admitted ahead of those 8 pointers, and then choose Sc subjects combi
- is Sc really better than Art? Our government leaders are mostly from non Sc major
- it could have been more predictable and easier to
manage if strictly Art stream = mainly art subjects. NYJC is doing more actually. It require standing by more resources to cater for such flexible subject combinations. -

Arts stream means (1) 3 arts subject + 1 science subject.

Science stream means either (2) 3 science subjects + 1 arts subject, or (3) 2 science subjects + 2 arts subject.
Allowing a person who gained admission into the arts stream with an easier/higher COP, to do (2) or (3) is not about “standing by more resources to cater to flexible subject combinations”.
If it the 2 distinct streams are mandated by MOE (like last time when there were 3 streams and now cut to 2 streams), it should be followed, and not about “predictable and easier to manage etc etc”.
If it is not to be followed, then all should just have one stream/COP.
Also, if one gained admission into the arts stream presumably to do (1), but allowed to do (2) or (3), then it should be considered an appeal. And MOE appeal rules state that you must first meet COP of the school+stream before your appeal is being assessed.
