School Distinction Award

AJC acquired School Distinction Award! It won the staff well-being award for excellent welfare provided to its teachers! It is a miracle that such a fantastic JC like AJC did not get the School Excellency Award for its various efforts and trouble to ensure the best kind of welfare for it teachers.

Also, the School Distinction Award is seriously flawed.

The School Distinction Award (SDA) recognises high achieving schools with exemplary school processes and practices, and that are on their way to achieving the SEA.


SDA Winners 2006
1. Gongshang Primary School
2. Fairfield Methodist Secondary School
3. Methodist Girls’ School
4. Anderson Junior College

WTH?

The principal today told us that when AJC receives all these awards, the students in AJC, people like me benefited as well. Strangely I don't feel any better. While awards like these seemingly indicate which are the better schools, a look at the list will tell you that there are much better schools than those four winning the SDA.

Besides, each SDA given to any school lasts for five years, and depending how you look at it, good schools cannot get SDA this year because they had already gotten it in any of the last five years. This throws up vacancy for AJC to join in.

What matters ultimately to a student, is not the number of awards the school receieved, but the quality of education, the friendliness of the staff, efficency of teaching and welfare of students. While the P said that the awards are all about its students, AJC won an award for Well-Being of Staff. Instead if relying on all these inaccurate awards given by MOE which didn't who w even study as a student in the school, graduating students who are thinking of coming to AJC should instead communicate first hand with students who are actually studying in their school of choice, listen to those precious advises and feedbacks.

My advise to all students thinking of coming to AJC is this:
If you don't mind working hard getting good results, regardless of welfare facilities, canteen food, safety and hygience, AJC is your best choice if you couldn't get into the Big Five.

If you like me, prefer happiness, good food, welfare, safety and hygience over your results, go somewhere else. Please.
