I graduated in 2002.Not sure if this helps, there are currently
two campuses, Toh Tuck and Bartley, both made up of the former
Jurong and Outram Institutes.MI will be moving to their new mega
campus in Bukit Batok next year, which will combine both former
schools into one.
The facilities there will be similar to any Junior College.I was
from the Arts Faculty so I can tell you that some of the teachers
are quite motivated, and others feel it's a dead end.I thought it
was the end of the road when I ended up in JI then, because of the
poor identity and the lack of motivation in many students.
The main barrier here is motivation, because the ppl I've studied
with are no less talented and were from top schools too, but we
just happened to screw up our 'O's and yeah ..you get the
point.
I've been taught by very good Literature and Geography teachers and
I think I'm quite satisfied by it.But if you can enter a JC, do so,
unless you don't mind taking one more year to study and work
towards a good 'A' level pass.
I managed to get two distinctions and will begin my NUS term in
August at FAS, possibly under the University Scholars Programme.So,
it's a place where if you can learn and are willing to do
independant study outside curriculum, you can score because of that
one extra year.
