2.1.2 International Students studying in a Government School, Government-Aided School or

Independent School in Singapore with valid 2009 Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘O’ Level Examination results.

2.2 All students successfully admitted to a school through the Direct School Admission-JC (DSA- JC) / Direct Poly Admission (DPA) Exercises will not be able to participate in JAE.

or JPSAE, students are to enrol in the chosen course during the common enrolment

period for JAE/JPSAE postings set by the polytechnics.

a. 2009 Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘O’ Level Examination only, or

The Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), founded in 1886, is one of the premier educational institutions in Singapore. It is a Methodist institution with a strong foundation in Christian values and principles, a tradition of excellence, and a global perspective. The school philosophy is firmly grounded in the belief that the students are serious in intent and are therefore expected to work hard to achieve excellence in their studies as much as in non-academic pursuits. Every staff member provides learning opportunities for each child and is strongly encouraged to help in the achievement of these expectations by the parents and supporters of the school (Old Boys’ Association, Church, Alumni, Board of Management and other stakeholders). Our vision is that every ACSian will be A Scholar, Officer, and Gentleman for Year 1 to 4 and A Scholar, Leader and Global Citizen for Year 5 and 6 - a person who shows excellence in learning, in leading and in living. With these aspects of character fully-developed, the ACSian will be equipped and educated to serve society well in his later life.

NJC Integrated Programme with Boarding NJC provides a seamless 6-year Integrated Programme with Boarding. We firmly believe in the holistic development of our students in the moral, cognitive, physical, social and aesthetic domains. Being a school with a rich and illustrious history, our programmes are anchored in values and culture and are, at the same time, forward looking, to prepare our pupils to successfully meet the challenges of the future. The major thrusts of our Integrated Programme with Boarding are: � Sustained development of character

NJC will adopt a holistic and developmental approach towards character education, by integrating and infusing values across into the academic and non-academic domains of the curriculum starting from Secondary 1. This will provide students with seamless learning of content knowledge, skills and values, for example, during science and literature lessons, outdoor activities, and other enrichment activities.

141

� Leadership development in all domains - intellectual, social, physical and aesthetic Students will experience different aspects of leadership development to develop their individual abilities. For example, students will be exposed to leadership theory, strategic thinking and philosophy and learn from inspiring role models. They will have opportunities to conceptualise, plan and organise, manage and participate in special activities that will help them and their peers develop as leaders.

� Opportunities to nurture rootedness and community awareness

NJC places great emphasis on National Education. Students will have more time to develop strong relationships with peers, seniors and form a close attachment to the College. There will be more opportunities to serve, contribute and give back to the community. Such bonds contribute towards a heightened sense of rootedness to the nation. Through the diversity of experiences made possible by the 6-year IP, students will also be exposed to the thinking and principles behind social/economic policies as well as future leadership challenges.

� Modular Curriculum from Secondary 1 to 4

Apart from the foundational modules, students will get to choose from a range of elective modules. Block scheduling will enable students to engage in a choice of collaborative and research projects with varied opportunities to work with their seniors.

� Boarding Experience

All students who join NJC from Sec 1 will get to experience boarding at different junctures of their school life at NJC. Student leaders in JC will also have the opportunity to experience boarding. This diverse mix of students will allow for a rich boarding experience for all students.

For more details about the NJC Integrated Programme, please visit our website at http://www.njc.edu.sg 2. Science Training and Research Programme The College hosts Sigma Labs - South Zone Science and Technology Centre. This Centre of Excellence aims to create an awareness of and cultivate a research culture in the sciences through a variety of activities that cater to students of different abilities and interests. We have the state-of-the-art equipment, normally found only in universities and research facilities. Sigma Lab’s flagship programme is the Science Training and Research (STaR) Programme. This is a six-month enrichment programme that equips selected students with basic scientific research skills and opportunities to conduct science research projects under the mentorship of scientists. It is exclusive to our College and is offered to outstanding Science students. Students will be involved in advanced research and scientific training using sophisticated instruments and equipment, as well as engage in full-time research attachment with our partners from renowned A*STAR research institutes and other institutes of higher learning, such as Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN), Institute of Material Research and Engineering (IMRE), Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC), Institute of Chemical Engineering and Science Ltd (ICES), NUS and NTU and many more. The College also provides overseas research attachment for selected students to the Korea Science Academy (Korea), Intellectual Boarding School (Russia), Moscow Chemical Lyceum (Russia) and Waseda University Honjo Senior High School (Japan). Numerous student participants graduate annually in the STaR Symposium to mark the end of their research attachment. Those who excel are highly encouraged to participate in the Singapore Science and Engineering Fair (SSEF) and A Star Talent Search (A*TS). The NUS-A*STAR-NJC H3 Research, also known as H3-Science Training and Research (H3-STaR) Programme is a H3 subject that takes the mode of a scientific research project. This programme is designed for academically able NJC students who are inclined towards science research. It aims to develop, in these students, scientific inquiry skills, advanced laboratory techniques, and critical thinking. The programme requires the students to extend their H2 Science subjects in a 6-month research study in a specific area in Science. Each student will undertake a individual research study and would be mentored by qualified scientists from the Research Institutes (RIs) and supervised by Science teachers from NJC.

3. Sapphire Scholars Programme – Every Student a Leader Our Sapphire Scholars Programme seeks to prepare motivated NJCians for scholarships and entry into prestigious universities through a systematic programme of enrichment activities. The Programme aims to develop: � Well-rounded individuals who excel in their studies and also possess a strong portfolio on their CCA involvement; � Confident and discerning individuals who are knowledgeable about geopolitical issues and can conduct themselves well in any

situation; � Committed individuals who have a strong sense of dedication and sharing towards the community and nation. All Sapphire Scholars are given the flexibility to chart their own development. However, guidance is always close at hand if needed. Each Sapphire Scholar is allocated an experienced tutor (called a Sapphire Mentor) who will advise and guide his/her charge so that they constantly shape their personal targets and overall portfolio towards attaining the scholarship of their choice. Apart from this guidance, students on the Sapphire scheme will also be given further leadership opportunities and exposure to give them the added competitive edge in their applications for top scholarships and universities. 4. Accelerated Mathematics Programme The Accelerated Mathematics Programme provides capable Mathematics students with opportunities to develop a deeper understanding of Mathematics. The Programme includes a more rigourous and challenging Mathematics curriculum, Mathematics-related Research opportunities, participation in Mathematics competitions as well as Mathematics-related enrichment activities.

142

5. Art Elective Programme NJC is the first junior college to offer the Art Elective Programme (AEP). With a rich and varied curriculum, artistically talented students are offered the opportunity to experiment and develop their interests through various media which will deepen and widen their knowledge and appreciation of Art and Design. These include drawing and painting, sculpture, graphic design, ceramics, photography, printmaking, 3D computer modelling and animation, and video editing. The programme also emphasises the theoretical aspect of art education - students have to undertake a course in the critical and historical aspects of Southeast Asian and Western Art so as to provide them with the foundational knowledge for art criticism. Our AEP students have participated in external exhibitions and received numerous accolades for their outstanding work. 6. Humanities Scholars Programme The Humanities Scholars offer H2 Literature in English and other humanities subjects as part of the requirement of the scholarship awarded by MOE. As part of the holistic development of the scholars, they are directly involved in 2 overseas programmes: 1. Overseas Enrichment Programme (OEP) - The programme is designed to enhance their appreciation and understanding of

History, Geography, Economics and socio-political-cultural aspects of our neighbouring countries. The programme is partly funded by the Ministry as part of the award of the Humanities Scholarship.

2. The Humanities Scholars Programme in NJC also extends the OEP to a twinning programme with a top Vietnamese High School for the first part of the exchange programme.

7. NJC Music Programme The NJC Music Programme provides musically talented students with the opportunity to acquire a higher proficiency in music, thereby building the foundation for further music studies at higher levels. It aims to develop critical thinking, listening and creativity through music studies and interpretative activities like composing and performing. At the same time, it aims to cultivate keen awareness of local and global musical cultures. 8. Attachments, Immersion & Exchange Programmes In line with the College's vision to nurture our student's passion for knowledge in a vibrant learning environment, we provide opportunities for our students to have firsthand experience through attachment programmes with the local as well as overseas tertiary educational institutions, companies and grassroots organisations. The attachments aim to deepen our students' interest in particular disciplines (like law and medicine) and professions, and also to increase their awareness of their role as members of society and how they can contribute to it. Similarly, cultural exchanges with reputable overseas institutions serve to enable our students to gain an understanding of the culture as well as to improve their proficiency in the language of the host country. Deserving particular mention are the Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) the College signed with Korea Science Academy (KSA), the premier education institution of science and technology in Korea in 2005, and with Waseda University Honjo Senior High School in Japan in 2007. The MOUs establish sustained partnerships with these overseas schools to allow NJC students to go on research attachments or engage in collaborative projects and exchange programmes. Our Attachment Programmes comprises:

� A total of about 70 research placements with renowned institutions of higher learning both local and overseas in fields such as mathematics, chemistry, electronics and material engineering.

� Cultural / sports student exchange programmes with schools in China, Germany, Japan, Korea, Russia, Taiwan and Vietnam. � Work attachments with various private companies, law firms, hospitals and other organisations.
