The JC1 Journey Ahead


Supporting our Saints

in a journey

TRUE & WISE

• We prepare our students not

just for the GCE A-level, we

prepare them for the life.

• However, the JC journey can

be a challenging one. This is

where the partnership between

the college and parents

become integral.

• Let us work in partnership to

understand, encourage and

support your child in his / her

new journey ahead


Supporting our JC1 SAINTS

• Supporting students in understanding

college expectations and discipline is a big

part of this partnership.

• Starting on the right footing is important for

the journey ahead for our new students

• Parents’ support in ensuring that students

meet established expectations in discipline

and classroom behaviours will allow for

smooth transition into JC
