JC1 - JC2 Academic Journey Overview

The following videos explain several key matters with regard to your child's/ward's JC academic journey. 

    3. Promotional Criteria

The criteria for promotion of JC1 students to JC2 is as follows:

• A minimum overall grade of ‘E’ for GP and 1 H2 content-based subject; and 

• A minimum overall grade of ‘S’ for 2 other content-based subjects at either H1 or H2 level; and

• A minimum Conduct Grade of ‘Good’.

Eunoians who fail to meet the promotion criteria in the JC1 overall results may be required to repeat JC1. This is to ensure that all Eunoians begin their JC2 year having achieved the required foundation in the content and skills covered in JC1.

    4. Key Considerations for continuing to offer 4 H2s in JC2 

a) [A Level Rank Points Computation]

From 2026 onwards, only 3 of your best performing H2 subjects and GP would be computed as your A Level rank points. Under the new system, the fourth content-based subject will be counted for university admissions only if it improves a candidate’s score.

b) [Overall Workload]

The A Levels curriculum is rigorous and the workload can be demanding. Dropping a subject from H2 to H1 would allow you to have more time to dedicate to your remaining H2 subjects and other student activities (e.g. CCA, VIA, House), and more room to explore your passions and interests. 

c) [Performance in the Promotional Examinations]

The performance of your Promotional Examinations is an indicator of your grasp of content and skills necessary for the subject.  If you do not meet the promotion criteria or are not performing within the top 80% of the cohort, you would be required to convert a H2 subject to a H1 subject.

Subject Combination Re-optimisation Exercise (SCORE) will take place at the end of JC1 for students to drop H2 to H1, or offer H3

   5. Criteria for offering H3-Level subjects in JC2 

Students can choose to offer one H3 subject if they meet the following criteria for their overall grade for JC1:

a) Pass (min Grade E) for all subjects and

b) Obtain at least a C grade for three out of four H2 subjects and

c) Obtain an A grade or score within the top 15% in the intended subject at H3 level

Other 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. 

I have questions regarding CCA.

Please refer to THIS SECTION where we address some questions you have regarding CCAs.
