I was wondering if parents have any advice on what to do/bring etc (in addition to the list)?

Don't think you really need to bring anything in addition to the list. haha. Maybe should see what you can eliminate from the list instead.

1. Emergency Medications (vitamins, panadol, flu, stomach, diarhhoea, etc)
2. Shampoo, Shower, Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Cup + small pail
3. Floor wipes with the Holder & General Cleaning Wipes
4. Electric Fan (there's Ceiling Fan but still hot)
5. Extension electric plug
6. Electrical Outlet adaptors
7. Handphone or camera chargers, etc
8. Bowl/Fork/Spoon/cup in case they want to make their own supper/snack
9. Clothes for daily wear/sleep for 5 days
10. Uniforms for 5 days (there's laundry service in boarding)
11. Undergarments enough for 5 days.
12. Socks for 5 days
13. School Shoes
14. Sandals/slippers for wearing around boarding
15. Towels
16. Blanket, if don't like the furry one in boarding room
17. Pillow
18. Shallow rectangular plastic baskets to put inside cupboard so their undergarments and socks are not everywhere on the shelves inside the wardrobe(!!!).
19. Foldable Mesh Laundry holder (for them to put their dirty clothes before laundry) - usually hang this inside one of the wardrobes
20. ..... airfreshener/insecticide - spray plus those freshener-tubs to keep the room smelling fresh.
21. Laptop if needed
22. Musical instruments, if needed
23. School Bag with books/files
24. Tissue

Thank you very much for the list.

Hello


Just received information about boarding for JH1.

I was wondering if parents have any advice on what to do/bring etc (in addition to the list)?

Would appreciate if you can share your experience too.

Thank you.

Are there any activities for JH1 during June holidays?


Am trying to plan a trip.

Is there any school bus to send students home from NJC?


Does anyone have DDs in JH taking public transport?

Hi parents


Newbie of NJC here.

Can anyone advise what time we should leave home (Bishan) in order to reach school at 7:30am if we are driving?

Heard traffic is horrible in that area.

Thanks.

[quote=\"Augmum\"]that's what i am thinking and have posted on previous page for her

Thank you all for your suggestion.

The reason why we did not include NYGH is because it did not seem to make any sense to put it as 2nd choice since the COP is higher and my DD is -1 point off last year's COP.

Does it make sense? :idea: :?:

yr DD score is only below the COP of NYGH (last year) by 1 point,
it def makes sense to indicate it as 2 nd choice, since u already have RGS for 1 st choice.[/quote]But if she does not get in to both RGS and NYGH, will she be disadvantaged with NJC as a 3rd choice? I am worried about this.

Thanks for answering my queries.

[quote=\"Maths Hub\"]What about Nanyang Girls' High School [IP]?

yes u should not miss NYGS with yr grades

Augmum:

since u prefer yr DD to go yo a all girls' sch and she wants to try IP,
why not include NYGH as yr 2 nd choice
(though NYGH last yr COP is 263, with yr DD's score of 262 is worth a try)
and yr choice of NJC goes to 3rd,
in this way, even if she does not qualify for RGS or NYGH, she still have her NJC.
(must add....provided NJC COP does not exceed 260 this yr, but u have a buffer of 3 points to play about )

What do you think of following choice for 260 +2


1) RGS
2) NJC
3) St Nicholas
4) Cedar
5) Crescent
6) CHIJ TP

do u think the chances of RGS is very slim? Definitely prefer my Dd to go to a girls school but she wants to try the IP.

My dd wants to try for RGS (260).


I am worried of

1). Snobbish students who will do anything to get ahead

2). That being amongst the lowest range of psle scores to get in, she may not be able to cope.

Any advice? Am I just being paranoid?

happyluckymom:

If 2 people with same score apply to IJ will the person who put CHIJ as first choice get preference over the other person who put it as second choice?


Pls pls help... Thank you all soooo much.

Yes
