Can anyone shed light on how big the IP cohort is each year? How is the math and science departments like? For students who take HMT, are they allowed to switch to standard MT later? Appreciate any advice on NYGH science vs TJC science DSA. We missed the TJC open house this year...
Just call up VPs (Academic) of both NYGH and Temasek Junior College, to ask all your \"burning\" questions. They will be able to answer you.

I know of someone from IP who dropped Higher Chinese to take normal Chinese. So it was possible then.
The sec 1 IP cohort at that time was about 150. May have changed since then. That was about 10 years ago. :siam: If it is important, you should ask the school when you are shortlisted.

I would like to know how is the academic pace like? And whether you as parents do come in to monitor and guide your child (aka how hands on are you)?

I am asking this as I hear some stories about IP being very intensive and fast paced. So I thought to hear from experienced parents 😊. Thanks!!!

In what way(s),
does your son find the Maths (TJC IP programme) useful ?
They did math olympiad training, he enjoyed that. He also mentioned something about game theory, but I cant remember exactly whether it was part of Temasek Academy program haha. Generelly for me it seems to keep him busy, engaged properly. Today he received invitation to join Temasek Academy Science also, he will join the program in the upcoming year. As for the IP program itself, it is quite faced paced, so it fits him well.

Lavanya123\" post_id=\"2090645\" time=\"1669596985\" user_id=\"143620:

TJC parents, can anyone help me understand the following about the third language choice?

-I received a letter saying my son is eligible for third language - there are 4 choices - chinese, Malay, Arabic and Bahasa Indonesia.

- Though I love the idea of my kid learning a third language, I would like to understand if there is any other advantage other than learning a new language?

-I enquired at the school, they say it is not offered in the school, and the kids have to commute to other locations to study the same, would be great if someone can share their experience in this regard

-I am also concerned whether this would interfere with other activities in school, especially related to math since my kid has DSAed through math

-It is mentioned in the letter the third language will be a examinable subject in the O level exam, what does this mean for the IP kids?
1) your DSA Maths commitment level.

You can call up TJC or write an email,
ask (address) to speak to VP (Academic) or Head of DSA interview panel,
ask VP :-

for this year 2022, which weekday(s) from Mon-Fri every week, Sec 1 students need to stay back after school, to join in the DSA Maths activities ?

Assuming that say, is assigned weekday X, then, clarify with VP :-

is this weekday X fixed throughout the whole year from Term 1 to Term 4, or different Term, change to another different weekday ?

Why, need to know?

Because

u won't want to clash your Cca days with this DSA Maths activities' meetings.


2) learning an Asian language (Chinese / Malay / Bahasa / Arabic).

Find out,
which weekday,
does your son need to go down to MOELC, to study Bahasa or Malay, assuming that he is going to learn either language?


Then,
is it to MOELC (Bishan or Newton) venue, to learn Malay,
since u mentioned that Malay is not conducted in-house, inside TJC premises (school compound) ?


3) sitting for O-level (Asian language), at end of Sec 4.

Come to end of Year 4 (IP) in November,
all students need to take O-level (Malay), if your son is learning Malay.

Taking the O-level (Asian language) paper happen to all other Secondary schools as well,
for those who are an learning Asian language. This is a common practice, nothing new.


4) for initial first 6 months of Sec 1,
will be \"relaxed\" honeymoon period, as students try to adjust to Secondary school life.

Sec 2 : pace will quicken.
End of Sec 2 : time to choose your Sec 3 subject combination.

Time management is crucial, especially In Upper Sec, because you are handling 8 or 9 subjects, plus their projects' dateline, concurrently.


5) Although u have entered TJC (IP) via the DSA (Mathematics) path,
u may also ask VP (Academic) :-

for Science -
how is the Talent Development programme like, for IP students ?

VP will explain to you,
what are the opportunities opened (available) for students, in Lower Sec and in the Upper Sec track.

(you may leave behind your contact phone number with the Admin staff in General office, ask Admin to convey a message, for the VP to call u back)

Taking a 3rd language means they will take the O-level exam for the subject during year 4. Other subjects will be taken in year 6 during the A-levels.

What’s the profile of you son’s to DSA into TJC via Maths? Can share?

Hi. I cannot answer your specific question but keep in mind TJC will relocated to 2 Tampines Avenue 9 in January 2024 (through Dec 2027). Hence, a two-year lease may not be very good for the commute. One could stick it out for Sec 1 and then move closer to the temporary site for four years. Good luck!
TJC is moving?? I hope its for temporary renovations. I liked the old distinctive mushroom structures which are its core architectural facade.

Yes, I am aware of this change hence it’s hard to find a house somewhere in between both campus. Commuting from my current location can be difficult ( we live in Tanjong Pagar) 😥 thanks for your inputs

Dear parents ,

Can I check with you if the school provides any transportation? What are the other modes of transport everyone is using ? I am planning to move closer to the school but the rental market is quite demanding right now , so trying to figure out my options, any help is much appreciated!

Your son will be in good hands, for the next 6 years. TJC (IP) has a good strong curriculum in (Maths & Science) learning exposure, a very good enriching learning educational journey, lies ahead.


At this juncture,
may I also congratulate all 2022 candidates (born 2010), who have been awarded (COs + Wait-lists), into Temasek Junior College (IP).
Thanks for your kind words 🙂
