National Junior College (Junior High)

I was told by a friend that some tuition centres like TLL does not accept or encourage NJC students to join as their syllabus are very different…any idea if NJC is really advance or just simply teaching very different topics. With all aiming towards A levels, how could it be so varied?

I hv a child in NJ and I can understand why some tuition ctr dun accept njc students. for LA, the testing of the reading skills aka compre is very diff format fr the O level qns and I find it difficult. They hv a Thinking module inside LA curriculum time (though is a separate subj n is gradedbut not reqd for promotion) which is like practically impossible to outsource. Then for Maths in Sec 1, nearly finish half of sec 2 syallabus. For Sec 2, they ask u to buy Sec 3, Sec 4 and A maths textbook. Sci by itself diff schools r teaching diff topics at diff times. Sec 1 already touching one Sec 3 topic. In short, will be hard for the tuition ctr to cater for NJ students unless they can form a grp specially for them. NJ yearly cohort is only 200 afterall. But on the bright side, think of it as saving money on tuition since hard to find. I am only speaking for the sec school section.

Thanks for sharing, but I wonder if by end of sec 4 , most IP schools including njc will cover all similar stuff since they are all preparing the students for A level not just internal exam. If NJC already studying upper secondary content in lower secondary, any idea what they generally cover in upper secondary then?

Hi,

I need advise please on how many sets of school uniform (blouse + skirt) and how many sets PE uniform (shorts + Polo Tee ) is needed for Sec 1. We are travelling soon and will be back by end of December so I would like to buy ahead.

1 set of blouse+skirt is enough. PE t-shirt and shorts suggest to get 4 each.

Hi! need advice , are all Junior 1 required to take HMT or depends on the PSLE results ?

[RR2022]

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.

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

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!
