The JIE application period for Apr 2012 intake coincides with that of the JAE. Students may participate in both the JAE and JIE.

Students who are offered courses under both JAE and JIE can decide to accept one of the 2 offers.

① The Common Engineering Programme allows a student to take a common course of study in the first semester and will subsequently be streamed into one of the following Engineering diplomas:
• Aerospace Avionics • Aerospace Engineering • Biomedical Electronics • Civil Aviation • Digital Entertainment Electronics • Industrial and Operations Management • Micro and Nanotechnology • Renewable Energy Engineering • Supply Chain Management.
② Apart from the JAE, candidates with 2011 GCE ‘O’ level results applying for admission into these courses should also consider the Joint Polytechnic Special Admissions Exercise (JPSAE).
③ Due to the nature of the outdoor and adventure learning job requirements, candidates seeking admission into the Diploma in Outdoor and Adventure Learning (DOAL) should enjoy working with youth in the outdoor environment consisting of natural and adventurous elements. The course will demand from students a substantial amount of involvement in physical activity and water based experiential activities. As such, having an affinity for the outdoors and adventure pursuits will be advantageous. Additionally, students should be able to show confidence in water whilst donning a personal flotation device.
DOAL candidates are allowed to enrol into RP on the condition that they pass a medical examination by a certified medical general practitioner. For information on the medical conditions and medical form for examination, please refer to http://www.rp.sg/courses/shl/doal/index.asp. The fee for the medical examination is to be borne by the applicant.
Candidates who do not pass the medical examination will not be accepted into the Diploma in Outdoor and
Adventure Learning.
④ Students enrolled in this diploma will have to produce documentary proof of school representation in sports recognised by the Singapore Schools Sports Council or its equivalent.
JOINT POLYTECHNIC SPECIAL ADMISSIONS EXERCISE (JPSAE)
The JPSAE is conducted at the same time as the JAE. Applicants who have special talents and/or demonstrate a strong passion/aptitude for the course, and wish to be considered based on criteria beyond academic results, are encouraged to also submit their applications through the JPSAE. Short-listed applicants under the JPSAE may be invited for an interview or test. For more information on JPSAE, applicants may logon to www.polytechnic.edu.sg.

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 very 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.

: ACE@SR ● JC1 students who have performed well holistically are placed on the ACE@SR programme. This is a 2-year talent development programme which aims to stretch the academic and leadership potential of our top students while preparing them for future scholarship opportunities and the 21st century workforce. The SRJC scholarship is also awarded to selected students within the ACE@SR programme. SRJC scholars can look forward to being on the Advanced Student Leadership Programme, the SR Global Classroom Experience and the SR Internship Programme.
Advanced Student Leadership Programme
● Based on Kouzes & Posner’s theory of leadership, the Advanced Student Leadership Programme aims to develop our student leaders into transformational leaders of the 21st century. Part of the programme involves a residential Camp ASPIRE where student leaders are trained in both managerial skills as well as Kouzes & Posner’s Five Practices of Exemplary Leaders. This intensive and hands-on experience simulates real-life leadership moments, with a focus on being leaders of character.
SR Global Classroom Experience
● The SR Global Classroom Experience takes learning beyond the shores of Singapore. Through overseas field trips, students gain cultural awareness and a global perspective, imbibe the spirit of service through service-learning, engage in scientific inquiry, and participate in twinning programmes and workshops. Moral issues, National Education and other thematic issues are discussed and become alive in these trips. Besides the widening of their

− a climbing trip to scale the heights of Mt. Fansipan and to make a difference in people’s lives through community service in Lao Cai, Vietnam,
