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.

Although whatsapp group chats are used in schools as a form of teacher-student and class communication, I think most kids are on their phones checking their Instagram and watching videos. Is that good or a bad phenomenon? Only time will tell. Should schools stop the use of mobile phones in school? There are obviously pros and cons to that. Mobile phone has become a necessity in modern-day society (or so we are made to think so). Unlike us, children of this century are born into mobile technology. Unfortunately, it is a social pattern that will be hard to reverse.


PinkLily, your daughter should feel proud of herself that she is able to withstand the need to constantly use a mobile device. If she is disciplined enough, you can still let her have a phone in school so that she doesn't miss out on the \"real\" school work communication. Of course, once she has the phone im school, there is a possibility that she will follow the herd and start doing what others do. But if she has the discipline and resolve, it will not be an issue. I still see kids reading books instead of using their phone. 😃

Both Sixth Avenue and Tan Kah Kee almost the same distance. Both need to take bus. Both 2 bus stops away. For Sixth Ave, cross bridge first then take bus. For Tan Kah Kee, take bus first then cross bridge.

Coming from Botanic Gardens mrt(Downtown line), is Tan Kah Kee MRT station the nearest to go to NJC side gate ? Still need to take bus ? How many stops away to cross the overhead bridge to the side gate ?

When you attend the parent orientation on Day 1 of school reopens, the offical PSG will be there to give out form to sign up. You may also receive some information about PSG when you report to school on 23 Dec.

Note: NJC school day 1 does not follow the Secondary school schedule. For 2020, first day of school is 6 Jan.

May i know if there's PSG in njc and how to join?

For the first week, the secondary school will usually allow the child to wear primary school uniform as they understand that some parents might not be able to get it in time or need to alter.

Hi, some questions on appeal process.

Understand that will need to go to the school that we want to appeal to submit the necessary documents.

However, could not find any information on by when do we need to submit the appeal, what is the criteria that appeal will be accepted (besides the need to meet cop) and when will the appeal results be out?

Not sure if have enough time to purchase uniform and books when the school reopens on 2 Jan 2020.

Primary school uniform.

Kids can wear their own clothes next Monday ?

In my personal opinion, reading literature books ahead of time doesn’t help much in preparing for school next year. If your child really enjoys reading and you think it’s the best way for your child to occupy his/her time until school reopens, then encourage your child to spend more time in our public library. There are many wonderful books there to be discovered.

That's for JH2

Would like to purchase 2nd hand textbooks used by NJC students, please PM me if you have the following literature text.

1) Animal Farm by George Orwell (New Longman Literature edition, hardback)
2) Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare (Shakespeare edition, paperback)

Thank you !

Hi parents,
Are animal farm and julius caesar the literature books for JH1? Maybe i should ask my child to have a first read (she reads like lightning speed)? I know maybe not a good idea as it's better to read with teachers? But she has nothing very much to do till Jan 6.. she is also wanting to do some work ..

Hi
This forum is quite hard to find on google since it was renamed. Took me some time to get here. Hope it will be active still as a result.

May I know what is a timetable (start school, end school, any other events) for JH1, with CCA and foreign lang?
I feel my child will have too much on her plate with foreign lang in.
When is exam? mid year and end year?
If child takes canoeing cca for a start, how many days practice? 2 or 3 days??

Thanks in advance.

For your second question, the answer is no. You only get to use ESIS if you go to an independent school.
