FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What kind of school culture does NJC have?
NJC has a very supportive school culture and this is evident in our daily lives. NJCians are always willing to lend a helping hand, be it during lessons or CCAs. Nearing the examination season, students show their support for one another by studying together and sharing notes.

Apart from the exam period, NJC also has many programmes which enable students to bond and get to know each other better.
