JC1 Academic Journey Overview
Education is what remains after one has forgotten
what one has learned in school.

Timetables & Student Engagement.mp4Other General Enquiries from Parents
Are there student lockers in school for rental?
Yes. Students have been notified at the beginning of this year on the locker rental process.
How am I updated of my child's academic and non-academic progress over the 2 years?
At the end of each examination, students are given a results slip that require a parent's signature.
The Parent Teacher Meet (PTM) provides a platform for CTs to converse with parents on the child's progress. At EJC, the PTM takes the form of a Student-Led Conference where your child/ward will lead this conference and reflect on his/her progress. This will:
allow students to exercise ownership over their learning progress and habits
provide students opportunities to exercise Student Voice
build a strong partnership of trust between students, parents and teachers
At any point in time, parents may also contact CTs for an update on your child's progress; and similarly, CTs may contact parents to enlist their support in engaging the child.
Many of the students at this stage of their lives are not very clear about the career and education pathways they wish to pursue. How will the college support students in these areas?
At the college level, there is a strong Careers, Scholarship and Higher Education (CSH) structure to provide students with the guidance they need to uncover their interests, and apply for scholarships and overseas universities etc. Parents can find out more on the CSH plans in this site HERE.
For students to require further help and resources on Education and Career options, they can initiate a meeting with the college's ECG Counsellor. More details can be found HERE.
Where can my child get support to apply for scholarships or overseas universities?
We have a team of dedicated teachers who oversee and support students who wish to apply for overseas universities. Students have access to the CSH website to seek support from the respective teachers in charge.
