Bui Bich Phuong (Jane), Jerome Thong and Lucian Wee from 2T34 are the first from CJC to receive the South East Community Development Council (CDC) Youth Community Leadership Awards. It was for their contributions in Project 4650, a project serving the interim rental housing residents in Bedok. These three students rallied the class in organising activities for the children in this rental housing project and involved themselves in the Homework CafĂŠ over a period of half a year. The members of the Interact Club clinched the Gold Award for Best Interact Club Project from the Rotary Club for their project in collaboration with Sustainable Cambodia to build bio-filters for the villagers in Cambodia.
