Mission Building a Generation In Truth & Love: Every CJCian to be a Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart.

We cultivate in each young person the skills and attitude to embrace challenges wisely and courageously. We foster a community that cares for the dignity of the young people, nurturing them to be men and women of compassion. We broaden their vision so that they become leaders committed to serving in faith and with integrity. đƫImparting the knowledge necessary for young people to face the future confidently. đƫRespecting and affirming the value of human life. đƫForming the conscience of our students in accordance with the principles of a Christian school in the Catholic tradition. đƫEnlarging their perspective so that they contribute meaningfully and responsibly to society with conviction.

Every CJCian to be a Thinker with a Mission, a Leader with a Heart.

Vision

College Crest The principal symbol of Catholic Junior College (CJC) is the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God, depicted by the dove, guides the College in every word, thought and deed.

The Spirit helps keep Christ alive, symbolised by the cross, in the CJC community so that we act ‘In Truth and Love’, in and beyond the College.

The college motto, In Veritate et Caritate (‘In Truth and Love’) speaks of our mission to nurture students who will be thinkers and leaders that uphold integrity, and are driven by the desire to serve and improve the world around them.

The College Flame reinforces the idea that the light of God, knowledge and wisdom must lead the way in doing that.

The Crest, in the shape of a shield, depicts the armour needed to guard ourselves from what is contrary to God’s ways. It is clad in gold to signify how we treasure the College’s Catholic identity and to remind us of the pursuit of excellence in learning and living.

CJC - A Place Of Excellence In Learning And Living. đƫExcellence - Striving for high standards in educating young people. đƫLearning - Enabling students to realise their potential academically, physically and spiritually. đƫLiving - Forming a person who is wellintegrated into society.

Values Truth and Love Truth đƫIntellectual dimension - Pursuing the Truth in deepening understanding in the different disciplines of knowledge. đƫMoral dimension - Deepening our understanding of Divine Truth and living lives that are governed by moral guidelines for the common good for all creation.

Love đƫCommunal - Exercising love that is accountable, that cares, nurtures and sacrifices; a love for the common good of all. đƫIndividual - Exercising the choice to be disciplined in body, mind and spirit as an expression of love of oneself.

Principal’s Message

Hearts Ablaze One Flame, One Family

The theme for 2018, “Hearts Ablaze – One Flame, One Family” rallied us to develop a strong sense of community, whereby CJCians feel a sense of belonging to the CJ family, experience a culture of care and are engaged to lead, serve and work for a common good. In doing so, CJCians grow to be servant leaders with hearts ablaze, committed to serving in Truth and in Love.

It was with pride that the College launched our Albert, Joseph, Michael and Patrick House shields, mottos and flags during Commencement Ceremony. His Grace, Most Rev William Goh, Archbishop of Singapore, presided over the ceremony and urged CJCians to learn from the leadership attributes of the house patrons who shaped the history of CJC and dedicated their lives to serving the community.

As part of the College’s mission of developing every CJCian to be a Thinker with a Mission and Leader with a Heart, the College emphasised leadership development for all CJCians. To enhance personal mastery, CJCians were equipped with the knowledge and skills to adopt a Growth Mindset, know their strengths and inculcate a habit of reflection for learning and growth. We enhanced our local and overseas academic and service learning programmes to reap better learning outcomes in all CJCians.

The class of 2017 did the College proud by sustaining good ‘A’ level results and moving on to various Institutes of Higher Learning. Throughout the year, CJCians pushed the boundaries in Leadership Development and Service Learning. They led and participated with great zest in college activities, the Singapore Youth Festival and National School Games and moved into new frontiers in their academic and character development.

The dedication and expertise of the staff were apparent in the way the teachers engaged the students in learning and fostered a strong teacher-student relationship. CJC teachers forged new grounds in the area of professional development. Both teaching and administrative staff continued to uphold the spirit of Care which pervaded the CJC community.

It has been a dynamic and fulfilling year. CJC’s ability to continue forging ahead in academic and character development stems from the strong support of all the CJC staff, teaching and non-teaching, the School Management Committee, CJC Alumni, and the Parent Support Group (PSG). They have rallied together to give the College the confidence to forge new strategic directions, review our processes and embark on new projects. I also wish to thank all CJCians for being engaged and involved to make CJC a more vibrant place for learning.

This annual hopes to provide an insight into what the CJC spirit and identity is all about. To the CJCians who were with us in 2018, we hope this annual brings back fond memories of the warmth and joy shared amongst all of us in the CJC community.

Thank you and God bless.

In Veritate et Caritate Mrs Phyllis Lim

Exemplary CJCians Derrick Tan Rui Yang DR EE PENG LIANG MEMORIAL AWARD Derrick is a generous individual with a heart of service. Not satisfied with just doing well in all his major examinations in CJC, he shared his knowledge by giving impromptu peer tuition and was known for giving out his personal study notes to those who sought his help. He also served the wider college community as President of the Student Council. He devoted his time and energy to the organisation and execution of school-wide events that enriched college life for the community. For instance, he was driven by his desire to give his JC1 juniors the warmest welcome the CJC family could give through Orientation 2017, and worked tirelessly to conduct planning meetings, trainings and rehearsals. He sought ground feedback and spearheaded the review of practices which benefited the students such as the review of the “white shoe” policy in CJC. As a people-person, Derrick derives satisfaction and joy from making a positive difference in the lives of others, and for his outstanding achievements, he was named the Arts Valedictorian for the cohort of 2017.

Sean Rene Gabriel THE BERNARD CHEN MEMORIAL AWARD Sean demonstrated a resilient spirit during his time in CJC. Unfazed by academic disappointments at the ‘O’ levels and JC1 examination, he strove to persevere and excel in both his studies and his contributions to college life. Given his natural curiosity, he took up opportunities to learn outside the classroom by participating in various academic workshops and conferences such as the JC Law Programme and Model United Nations. On top of juggling his studies, Sean also served the college community as a leader who won the hearts and minds of his peers. As a Sports Leader and House Captain in his graduating year, he ran extra rounds with those who were struggling in their fitness tests, organised college-wide events to enrich college life for the community, and led Michael House to victory as House Champion. An amiable and sociable young man, Sean was also an indispensable part of his home class and served his classmates as a Pastoral Care Councillor by lending a listening ear to them.

Exemplary CJCians Ian Luke Chan Yi-Ren SISTER DEIRDRE O’LOAN MEMORIAL COMMENDATION AWARD Ian’s unyielding determination and his sense of humour, despite the many challenges faced as a result of his visual impairment, has endeared him to many students and teachers. His resilience was put to the test when he had to adjust to the JC curriculum and learn how to use new educational software to access learning. A highly motivated individual with a clear sense of purpose, he is driven to excel by his strong belief that people with disabilities should be given similar opportunities to strive for success.

His presence in CJC breaks new ground in mainstream education for others like him, and challenges the perception that people with disabilities are incapable of contributing to the community. As an active participant in college life, he was a Student Facilitator at the 2017 Pre-University Seminar, guiding the participants in their discussion of active citizenry.

Ian is a joy to be around and a true inspiration to all who have met him in his college years.

Inez Yong Hui En MS NARINDAR KAUR AWARD (HUMANITIES) Inez is sensible and mature, with a strong drive to excel. An independent learner who sets clear academic targets for herself, Inez was awarded the Edusave Certificate of Academic Achievement in 2016 in recognition of her consistent academic performance. Being disciplined, Inez was always attentive, well-prepared and punctual for all her lessons, and completed her work with quality and respectable effort. Inez has the grit and determination to give her best once she sets her mind on a goal. With a strong interest in and inclination towards Geography and Literature, she took the initiative to contribute to classroom discussions. Inez has an optimistic outlook with a can-do attitude. She played a key role in bringing her class together as Pastoral Care Councillor, and the positive class culture helped the whole class to do exceptionally well at the ‘A’ Levels. In addition, she is also patient towards the people around her. Her affable disposition has endeared her greatly to everyone, peers and teachers alike.

With his passion and keen interest in Physics and Geography, he emerged as top student for these subjects in his first year. A committed member of the CJC Football Team, Timothy demonstrated commendable leadership skills on and off the pitch, rallying and spurring his teammates on during trainings and matches. He is a team player and can be depended upon to care for his teammates. Timothy has truly shown that he is a well-rounded student who has the ability to competently juggle his various commitments.

S Shahmee Ruzain SPORTSPERSON OF THE YEAR S Shahmee Ruzain’s persevering attitude, coupled with a strong fighting spirit, has made him a successful sportsman. Despite having no prior experience, Shahmee was adventurous and took a bold step in joining the Track & Field Team with the aim to excel in the sport. As a sportsman, he demonstrated exemplary spirit in his single-mindedness, self-discipline and perseverance throughout his training. His efforts were well rewarded when he achieved the Gold medal for sprints for two consecutive years at the National Inter-school Track & Field Competition (‘A’ Division). This was achieved despite suffering from injuries, and was well-deserving of the coverage he received in the national news. Shahmee was the Vice-Captain of the Track & Field team, and his main roles included motivating his team members and planning activities for the recruitment of new members.

Our Stars Role Models in Mathematical Modelling CJC participated in the International Mathematical Modelling Challenge for the first time, fielding four students who showed keen interest in Mathematics and were able to apply mathematical modelling on realworld situations. The team of four students comprised Gerald Tan (2T15), Christabeth Leow (2T29), Ignatius Tan (2T28), and Li Rouchen (2T28), and they were mentored by Dr Lim Wei Ying. They presented a 20-page report that used a mathematical model to measure the quality of a hospital as well as a programme that tests the robustness of the model. The team was awarded a Certificate of Merit for their hard work - a tremendous recognition of the constraints they had to work against.

Ignatius Tan (2T28) shares, “as this Challenge was about a real-life problem, we had to research on the issue and find out about relevant math concepts to use under very tight timelines. Some of these were higher level mathematics and we had to read and learn fast, thus developing us in the area of self-directedness”.

Delegates impress at Harvard Model Congress Asia Organised by Harvard University, members of CJC’s Political Science Society and CJCians embarked on a journey to Hong Kong to participate in the prestigious Harvard Model Congress Asia 2018 (HMCA). At HMCA, students discussed contemporary issues, drafted policy papers, came to a consensus with regard to the passing of bills and resolutions, reported on timely news stories, and ruled on landmark court cases-all under the keen guidance of students from Harvard University. The CJC delegation faced stiff competition from the other countries’ delegates but they persevered and competed bravely. Eventually, CJC bagged a total of seven awards. It was a tremendous team effort for the entire CJC delegation: countless hours spent doing research, bouncing ideas off each other and crafting position papers. Throughout the trip, each participant’s passion for learning and interest in global affairs was certainly evident and they left feeling more emboldened to tackle tomorrow’s challenges.

Our Stars Certificate of Distinction for Drama Society (English) CJC’s Drama Society was the proud winner of the Certificate of Distinction at the biennial Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Arts Presentation 2018. The award affirmed the Drama Society’s commitment to hard work, resilience and teamwork, especially sweet for an original production the students worked hard on. The play, Found You, takes place during the horrific reign of the Khmer Rouge, bringing to the stage the atrocities of war and raising difficult questions about human conscience and moral degradation. The President of CJC Drama Society shared that the year has been a meaningful one for them as they worked valiantly towards the SYF competition.

Judo Places Fourth in National School Games (‘A’ Division) The day of the National School Games (‘A’ Division) Judo Championships was one of the rare instances where almost the entire Judo team took part in the competition, notwithstanding injured members. Despite the stiff competition from schools such as Hwa Chong Institution, Captain Marcus Tay (2T21) and Vice-Captain Alyssa Siow (2T27) clinched the third position in their respective categories. Although the sport is individual in nature, the close-knit team shows that this can be argued otherwise. The many hours of gruelling training pushed them closer as a team and forward. Strong bonds were also forged as they cheered for their teammates during matches, and encouraged and helped one another to develop better techniques during training.

Our Stars Ms Valerie Baptist, Head of Department (Student Development) Conferred 2018/2019 Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching Program We warmly congratulate Ms Baptist, HOD Student Development, on being awarded the 2019 Fulbright Distinguished Award in Teaching Program, conferred by the US Department of State. As a Fulbright Scholar, Ms Baptist will reside in the United States for a semester-long program with educators from around the world. She is given the opportunity to pursue individual or group projects, take courses for professional development at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, observe and share her expertise with American colleagues as well as fellow educators from Botswana, Mexico, Uganda, Indonesia, Morocco, Senegal etc. “Be curious. Challenge yourselves.” These are the kinds of messages Ms Baptist tirelessly imparts to her students, encouraging them to think beyond what is right in front of them to grow into the best versions of themselves. Whether in teaching Geography, Project Work or creating a Student Development program, it is important to her that she lives out this same hunger for challenge and to be ever curious, to ‘walk the talk’. Her research has led her to education-policy movements on developing grit and growth mindset and how it is being developed among scholars and schools in the USA. Through this program, she hopes to gain a better perspective on how we at CJC can continue to develop a culture of positive education that will better contribute to developing every CJCian as a Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart.

Alumni Spotlight Alexiaa Sim Sim Hui Xuan Alexiaa (2T27, Class of 2013) was awarded the Lee Kuan Yew Gold Medal in recognition of being one of Nanyang Technological University’s top graduates in 2018. She graduated with Honours in Sports Science and Management, and is currently pursuing a degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), under the prestigious Nanyang President’s Graduate Scholarship. Her experiences in CJC, as a student-athlete and as Captain of the Gymnastics team, have taught her to pursue excellence in both sports and academics. Her leadership experience in college led her to become a reliable individual with a strong sense of initiative as she was given the autonomy and responsibility to lead and make decisions on behalf of the team. She fondly reflects, “CJ has always placed an emphasis on building a community that is caring and compassionate, and a notion of contributing back to society in a meaningful way - which is why I hope in the future, through my research, I will be able to improve the health and performance of athletes in Singapore.”

Edna Chah Edna Chah Eu Myin (2T29, Class of 2017) was awarded the SUTD Global Merit Scholarship, allowing her to participate in an exclusive summer exchange program overseas. She hopes to use this opportunity to get to know different communities in the world, and to use this knowledge to further understand the needs of society empowering her to bring this knowledge back to school and to help the community. Currently, she is studying General Engineering and intends to major in Engineering (Engineering Product Development).

Hoping to utilize the hands-on and innovative style of learning in SUTD, she aspires to gain technical knowledge as well as independence in learning.

She aims to be a globally adept and knowledgeable citizen, and to better the world by design.

Kelley Megan Tan Kelley Megan Tan (2T25, Class of 2016) was awarded the de Suantio Scholarship.

Alumni Spotlight Koh En Qi Koh En Qi (2T21, Class of 2015) was awarded the SAF Academic Scholarship (SAS) and Sword of Merit (SOM), given to the top 10% of the course in Officer Cadet School. She is currently pursuing a major in Biological Sciences in NTU. Her decision to sign on with the Navy after graduating from CJC and before her university course was due to her interest in a meaningful career that was not desk-bound. Her confidence in her capacity to cope with the physical demands of the role was nurtured through her experience as a Michael House Sports Leader during her time in the College as it stretched her fitness beyond her imagined limits. She holds fast to the core values espoused by the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and allows these values to guide her in decisionmaking, especially at work when she is required to lead her men. She plans to continue to serve in the Republic of Singapore Navy in the future and to serve her nation proudly.

Muhammad Alyhariz Muhammad Alyhariz (2T08, Class of 2015) was awarded the MOE Teaching Scholarship (Local) to pursue a degree in English Literature at the National University of Singapore. He also intends to minor in Linguistics.

He believes that he would not be the person he is today without the care and support of his teachers who have played such an influential role in shaping his character. As such, this has fueled his desire to step into the shoes of an educator to do the same for his future students and instil in them an appreciation and love for Literature - an area of study which he feels is greatly undervalued.

Elizabeth Tan Elizabeth Tan (2T01, Class of 2003) was shortlisted as a finalist for Singaporean of the Year 2018. (Winners will be announced in February 2019).

The Straits Times Singaporean of the Year seeks to honour Singaporeans whose extraordinary acts of goodwill have improved their community and the lives of others. While performing her role as managing director of homegrown brand Heatwave Shoes, Elizabeth runs Sight to Sky, an organisation that provides free eye care and education to the most remote regions of the world like the the Himalayas. Elizabeth shares, “over the last seven years, we have served over 15,000 patients and though the number may not be large, we have made it a point to impact the most marginalised communities that have no access to care. The chance to make a positive difference in someone’s life is something that motivates me because it brings joy and satisfaction.”

Elizabeth hopes to bring their work to remote regions and impact at least 1 million people needing eye care and education in remote communities.

When thinking back on her days at CJC she recalls how the trait of being a Leader with a Heart inspired her most. She was particularly inspired by then principal, Brother Paul Rogers, whom she feels “led the school with passion and discipline”, as well as her teachers, who were always so patient and passionate about teaching, never giving up on her even when she did not demonstrate the typical traits of a ‘good student’. Elizabeth’s advice for her juniors is to “find what you are passionate about and never give up on that because in the end you will always go back to what you feel for most.”

Student Development Programme THE STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME IN 2018 In developing every CJCian as a Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart, CJC’s Student Development (SD) programme works hand in hand with the college’s academic programmes to ensure holistic student development. The SD programme uses the social change model as inspiration for our self → others → community framework of SD in CJC. CJCians are brought through a widening spiral of growth which first helps them discover and strengthen their talents (self), build meaningful relationships (others) and to eventually be equipped to make a positive change to the community and world around them (community).

The facets that make up the student development programme are the Home Tutorial System, SD Curriculum, National Education, Ethics & Religion, Potential Development, Leadership Development and Service Learning.

THE HOME TUTORIAL SYSTEM Every CJCian is part of a Home Tutorial (HT) class which is the basic unit designed to give them a sense of belonging over their 2 year CJC experience. Under the mentorship of a home tutor, each home tutorial class journeys together, building strong bonds of friendship, challenging each person to grow to become the best versions of themselves possible. Every Home Tutorial group is part of a larger house system, under the leadership of teachers as house masters and student leaders as house captains to build team, house and community support and spirit.

The two-year SD Curriculum Programme begins with allowing students to understand and develop themselves as all-rounded individuals, followed by an extended focus on building and managing interpersonal relationships and finally, allowing them to understand the positive impact they can have on the wider community. Besides classroom sessions with their home tutors, the SD Curriculum lessons also included interactive sessions with distinguished guest speakers who are experts in various fields, providing platforms for students to be challenged in their perspectives and perceptions of complex societal issues and to prepare themselves for the deliberate contemplation of making moral decisions.

On 5 July 2018, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Foreign Affairs, engaged CJCians on local issues and foreign affairs. Our JC2 students were given the opportunity to gain insights into the thinking behind the workings of international policies during SG Perspectives 2018. Dr Balakrishnan provided valuable learning points on the attitudes, skills and values required of students entering Higher Education and the workforce. He emphasised the need for students in this new era to invest their time and effort in learning more about technology and encouraged them to harness the benefits of technological advancements for the betterment of society.

SD CURRICULUM CJC students attended weekly SD sessions within their home tutorial class, or religion or ethics groups. These sessions serve as part of the holistic development programme which enable students to discover the connection between self, others and the wider community.

Sessions in the programme focused on character and values formation, personal leadership skills, developing individual and group strengths, citizenship education, sexuality education and religious and moral education.

Underpinning these programmes is an emphasis on helping students develop a growth mindset in order to develop the belief that each student’s strengths can be developed through dedication and hard work, and to build emotionally and academically resilient individuals who possess a love of learning.

The JC1 Retreat - Embracing our Gifts

Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Vivian Balakrishnan addressing CJcians During the Question & Answer session, the JC2 students demonstrated a forward-looking mindset and sensitivity to societal shifts in the questions they posed to Dr Balakrishnan. These questions ranged from current affairs to career advice, as our JC2s seek to gain an advantage in our VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world. The main thread that stood out for many students was the call for youth to be tenacious and willing to step out of comfort zones to seize opportunities that were present. With such a mindset, we are certain that CJCians will be able to cultivate what it takes to go further than generations before them.

In 2018, CJCians also engaged in a variety of fund-raising activities such as the Rockefella Concert for the Needy Student Fund, and the ‘Building Bricks of Hope for Tomorrow’ drive for St Luke’s ElderCare and Assisi Hospice held on National Day to reinforce the values of gratitude and of making meaningful contributions as part of the nation.

Student Development Programme POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

Completed map of Singapore made up of paper bricks As part of the sexuality education programme, JC1 students were introduced to a series of modules focused on forging positive relationships. Through a number of innovative and reflective activities, such as the drawing of roadmaps to illustrate their personal experiences with building relationships, students come to understand themselves better and recognise that they are blessed with unique talents and gifts.

In JC2, students continued to look inward within themselves by going through a series of lessons which focused on making moral decisions with the understanding of how their decisions can affect not only themselves, but those around them and the wider community. These sessions included topics such as Bioethics in the area of euthanasia and abortion which includes the ethical use of science and technology. The final module in the JC2 SD Curriculum allowed students to consider their own mission in life and how they would like to impact their society.

In the facilitation of our weekly SD lessons, the college employs the use of Circle Time, which promotes a culture of open sharing and provides a safe environment for students to share their deep reflections with their peers and teachers. Circle Time is also used to develop greater collaboration in the classroom through better studentteacher relationships. Significant events such as Racial Harmony Day were also celebrated in the classroom through engaging and interactive activities, including an interactive drama across the cohort.

The Potential Development Programme aims to guide our students to make meaningful career and higher education choices based on their values, strengths and interests. Through these programmes, our students are exposed to a diverse range of career and higher education pathways through exhibitions, industrial attachments, university visits as well as sharing sessions by career professionals and university admission counsellors. Our hope is that every CJCian will develop into active, contributing citizens who find meaning in what they do.

In 2018, we expanded our University Talks and Tours to allow a larger number of students with diverse higher education interests to visit all of our local autonomous universities, namely the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore Management University (SMU), Singapore University of Design & Technology (SUTD), Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS). Furthermore, we worked closely with the various institutions to give our students the opportunity to attend mock lectures and seminars conducted by faculty members, for a unique and authentic higher education experience.

Students experience the joy of learning at SUTD Another core area of our programme is our Work Attachment and Shadowing Programme (WASP) which provides our JC1 students the opportunity to hone important soft skills required at the workplace. Through the experience, students were able to learn the basics of job application including the writing of a resume and the job interview, in addition to assessing the level of interest they have for the industry they are attached to. WASP participants also took part in a work etiquette workshop which also introduced them to ‘Networking and Interaction at the Workplace’ as well as ‘Meeting, E-mail and Phone Etiquette’.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT Interactive drama discussing about local issues during Racial Harmony Day Our religious education programme is catered for all Catholics and students who are interested in finding out more about the Catholic faith. As part of the religious education programme, retreats were held at the start of JC1 and the end of JC2. Students of all faiths attended these retreats which provided time away for students to center their thoughts and feelings, and to journey inward to make meaning of their lives and gain support from one another and the wider CJC community.

Leadership development is an important feature of the SD Programme. Student leaders are developed at various tiers–Home Tutorial Groups (Class Management Committee), Co-Curricular Activities, within the four Houses and Student Council. Students are provided with opportunities for leadership development and training that are anchored on the goal of developing every CJCian to be a Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart (TMLH). Training and mentorship are provided to help our leaders develop TMLH attributes – integrity, discernment, resilience, initiative, humility, purpose and being nurturing

5H<C@=7 $IB=CF C@@9;9 BBI5@ QOPW

Student Development Programme – through programmes like the CCA Leaders’ and Class Management Committee (CMC) Training Programmes, Leadership Training Camp and the various leadership conferences. These programmes are supported by both teachers and alumni.

Student Leaders in CJC play significant roles in contributing to the culture of the College. Building on the theme of ‘Hearts Ablaze: One Flame, One Family,’ the Student Council facilitated the annual Leaders’ Dialogue, bringing together the House Captains, CMC members, and leaders of all CCA groups to discuss their respective work plans, under the guidance of their teachers and the school leaders. Through this dialogue, our Student Leaders co-create a culture which values the voices of all students, grants opportunities to all students to lead, serve and develop, and which inculcates a vibrant sense of inclusiveness and belonging to the college.

Finding your strengths in leading

CCA LEADERS’ AND CMC TRAINING PROGRAMME To mark the start of their leadership journey at CJC, the CCA Leaders’ and CMC training programme provided the various sports and performing arts CCA leaders, CMC as well as Student Councillors with opportunities to discover their leadership style and learn the importance of having a vision in their leadership journey. The session focused on providing them with a platform to discern their leadership philosophy in order to discover and develop their potential as leaders by inspiring a vision that will lead their team to greater heights.

Student leaders are continually encouraged to reflect on their actions and development. Various training sessions provided for the CMC in Term 3 and Term 4 provided student leaders with the time and space to reflect on their achievements and areas for improvement in their leadership journey in their first year. Through these sessions, we believe that our student leaders have gained more confidence to serve their peers and community with a greater sense of purpose and mission.

Leadership is about making Connections

JC1 LEADERSHIP TRAINING CAMP (LTC) This year, 208 JC1 student leaders attended the LTC from 18 – 20 June 2018. LTC provided the JC1 student leaders with opportunities to develop their leadership capabilities and hone their communication, organisational and interpersonal skills. It also provided them with an opportune platform for self-discovery and served as a mid-point check where they could reflect on their individual leadership strengths and weaknesses thus far. More importantly, the LTC helped to develop stronger networks amongst the student leaders and fostered a greater college spirit amongst their peers and the rest of the college community.

A new introduction at the LTC this year was to have the JC2 student leaders join in on the last day of the LTC. The purpose was two-fold – firstly, to allow the JC2 student leaders a platform to consolidate their growth through reflections as they reach the end of the leadership journey in the college; secondly, the symbolic handing over of the leadership baton between the two batches of leaders served to remind everyone the importance of passing down the legacy through generations of servant leaders in the college.

JC2 LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE (LC) The LC provided the JC2 student leaders with a space for reflection at the end of their leadership journey at CJC. As we celebrated their successes and encouraged them to learn from their failures, the student leaders also reflected on how they can take these life lessons along with them as they go out into the world and continue to contribute positively to the communities they are and will become a part of. They also had the opportunity to interact with distinguished guests and alumni in the evening over dinner, who have a wealth of experiences to share and inspire our leaders. We hope the LC will put them in good stead to embrace leadership roles in the future, serving their respective communities as Thinkers with a Mission, Leaders with a Heart.

The CJC Ignite Programme The education landscape has evolved over the years. The key to a successful education system today is not simply about imparting content knowledge, but involves the cultivation of a healthy mind with sound morals and a passion for life, coupled with the development of skills to prepare students to take on the challenges of the future.

conferences such as the S Rajaratnam Lecture organised by the MFA Diplomatic Academy, the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy Panel Discussion, the Institute of Policy Studies-Nathan Lectures and the Ho Rih Hwa Leadership in Asia Public Lecture Series organised by SMU. These platforms broadened their perspectives of issues and are essential to prepare them for their future.

The CJC Ignite Programme was conceptualised and launched in 2012 to address the changing education landscape and to constantly review, reposition, and reorient the College to stay relevant to the needs of the students and the demands of the future. As a pilot programme, it aims to spearhead various effective and advanced approaches, pedagogies and strategies, with eventual adoption at a wider college level.

In order to develop articulate and confident team players, students in the Ignite Programme are taught via a seminar style approach, instead of the conventional lecture and tutorial system. In class, students are constantly engaged in discussions and are co-creators of knowledge. The smaller teacher and student ratio also allows for greater tutor-student interaction, and hence better student engagement during lessons. A variety of teaching approaches are used, so that students acquire conceptual understanding of their subject disciplines.

In addition, teaching in the seminar style approach provides a more conducive environment for exploration and reflection, and allows students to learn in a collaborative manner. Students are given many opportunities to express their ideas in and out of the classrooms on various platforms. In 2016, CJC Ignite Programme was featured by Channel News Asia for having an innovative and effective programme.

Learning in the Ignite Programme is not only confined to the classrooms. Students have opportunities to learn in a residential setting at NUS UTown, and attend various

The CJC Ignite Programme The critical thinking skills taught in lessons, coupled with the extensive exposure via different platforms have proven to be successful. Our Ignite students obtained admirable results in various competitions. For example, Shaun Song (2T04) and Chloe Yung (2T04) were awarded the Best Delegates in various competitions such as Harvard Model Congress Asia 2018, Nanyang Technological University Model United Nations 2018 and Dunman High ASEAN Plus 2018. Ignatius Choong’s (2T29) science research project in 2018 earned him the award for Best Poster with Distinction from the Institute of Physics Singapore and a Silver medal at the 19th International Elementz Science Research Conference and Exhibition.

Moreover, the Ignite class (2016/17) performed exceptionally well in their ‘A’ Level examinations. 2T29 was one of the top classes in Science. A proportionately large number of CJC Ignite students obtained excellent results that allowed them to be eligible to apply for scholarships and their desired university courses.

Exhibiting the traits of a Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart, Ignite students also reached out to serve various sectors in the community. This year, Ignite classes 1T05 and 1T08 (2018/2019) applied their learning from their Mother Tongue research project on Balestier Heritage and used it to bring joy to the elderly, understanding that these outdoor activities were crucial to the well-being of their beneficiaries.

1T34 took up the worthy cause of promoting awareness of the plight of AIDS patients in society, while 1T35 designed a Sports Day event for special needs children at AWWA. The effectiveness of the programme has given teachers and subject departments confidence to adopt a similar approach in other non-Ignite classes. More importantly, the implementation of the Ignite approach to all Humanities classes since 2016 is testimony of its continual success and the confidence the College has in the Ignite Programme.

43rd Student Council INTRODUCTION In its time of office from 2017-2018, the 43rd Student Council was instrumental in conducting day-to-day operations like prayer and reflection during morning assembly to facilitate spiritual growth of every member in CJC, and also played a crucial part in leading significant and meaningful college events in line with the College’s theme, ‘Hearts Ablaze: One Flame, One Family’. The Student Council not only initiated the crafting of this theme to provide a common direction for all stakeholders to work towards, but they also believed in acting on the theme themselves to create platforms for greater voice, opportunity and inclusiveness for everyone in our community. Organised in three different wings- the Catholic Activities Wing, the Community Involvement Wing, and the Student Activities Wing, the Student Council focused on nurturing spirituality growth through spreading a Christ-like love, being a bridge between the college management, the student body and the external community, and increasing the vibrancy of the college.

Despite being categorised into three different wings, what unites the entire Student Council is our common goal to serve the college community by upholding the standards and legacies of our predecessors, enacting positive changes and enhancing the overall college experience.

The Student Council does not work alone. The success of our events is a product of the constant mentorship by the Council teachers and the support from our peers. Furthermore, many of our events would not have been successful without the sacrifice and hard work of other student leaders in the college. The extent of our collaboration with other student leaders range from the provision of logistics and manpower from the FilmSound-Video (FSV) society and First Aid Club during Orientation 2018, to brainstorming action plans with Student Leaders from House, CCAs and Class during the Leadership Training Camp (LTC) 2018. Together, we strive to make Catholic Junior College a better place to learn and grow where every student has a stake, has opportunities to develop their leadership skills and feels included in our vibrant community.

CJC leadership attributes (also known as the ‘TMLH attributes’) and working together with their group mates to present a visual representation of their interpretation of the attributes. For the first time ever, we also initiated a House based ‘Amazing Race’ which was facilitated by the JC2 Sports Leaders in our college, giving them opportunities to lead the JC1s in an interactive session to introduce our House system. Besides the fun-filled games in college and at Gardens By the Bay (Bay East Bridge), the JC1s were also given platforms to experience our reflective culture through daily reflections as well as the mandela making session. On the last day we ended Orientation on a high note with a massive cheer-off between the four Kingdoms and a dance finale by the entire JC1 cohort as well as their OGLs. While JC1s and their OGLs teared on the last day, the tears were that of joy and a promise of being a strong support for each other in the days to come.

JC1 ORIENTATION 2018 The theme for Orientation 2018 was Fiesta Familias which is a Spanish expression for a ‘A Family Celebration’. This theme encapsulated the core ideas of our college theme ‘inclusivity’ and ‘sense of belonging’, setting the tone for the incoming JC1 students as we welcomed them into the CJ family. Through the various activities planned during Orientation we aimed to celebrate the JC1s’ integration into our CJ family and make them feel comfortable in this big family that will support their growth along the tough but joyous JC journey.

Spanning 5 days, Fiesta Familias started off with the Kingdom March-ins where the 4 Kingdoms - Aragon, Leon, Castile, Majorca - each representing one CJC leadership attribute, showcased their Kingdom’s value through a vibrant skit and a cheer. The Orientation planning committee, comprising five members from the 43rd Student Council and headed by the President of the 43rd Student Council, took a leap of faith in organising an artwork session that involved JC1s reflecting on the

43rd Student Council CATHOLIC ACTIVITIES WING The Catholic Activities (CA) Wing’s vision is to build a God-centered community that promotes spiritual growth in every individual by offering spaces that allow them to retreat and reflect amidst their hectic JC life. These were the cornerstones of our various events.

As a wing, our primary responsibilities included organising morning masses thrice a week as well as compiling morning prayers and reflections that were read out to the college daily. These daily routines allowed the CJC family time to reflect and re-energise, keeping them ever ready to face the challenges ahead and starting the day right. Part of our commitment to build a community that is one in spirit through Prayer included special services for college events such as Mass of the Holy Spirit and Days of Obligation like Ash Wednesday and Feast of the Ascension to cater to the college’s spiritual wellbeing and provide easier access for students and teachers to attend mass.

Under the guidance of our Wing mentors, the 43rd CA Wing initiated and improved on Catholic programmes in the college. To commemorate the 40 Days of Lent, we carried out our Lenten project, a legacy of previous

batches. However, to cater to the current needs of students, we initiated and collaborated with Office for Young People (OYP) to create a night filled with Praise and Worship and reflections on Lent. Based on the theme ‘Come As You Are’, CJC’s ‘Lenten Evening’ saw more than 100 participants joining as one CJ family in prayer. CA Wing also collaborated with other Catholics in the college by giving opportunities to all to participate and have a stake in CA run programmes through serving as the tour guides for ‘Chapel Tours’ during Open House 2018 and as servers during mass. We also complemented the introduction of the new House Shields by having Housebased Masses with the intention of strengthening bonds within houses.

The 44th CA Wing led the college in celebrating Teachers’ Day 2018. After months of careful deliberations on nurturing a sense of gratitude among our peers for their teachers we established the theme for the day to be ‘A Symphony of Lights’. The theme signified the coming together of the entire CJC community to celebrate our ‘guiding lights’, our teachers. Through the labour and team-work in extensive planning and meticulous execution, our first event as the 44th Student Council was a success and we learnt what it would take to achieve high standards for the rest of our term of office.

43rd Student Council COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT WING The Community Involvement (CI) Wing strives to be the bridge between the students and the college management, as well as between the college and the external community. We believe that every CJCian has a stake in the college, and our goal is to engage as many CJCians in college-wide events in order to empower them and enrich their college experience.

The 43rd CI wing planned the Open House for 2018. It involved meticulous organisation of CCA programmes and activities, and intensive collaboration with various student leaders, teachers and the college management.

Every year, Open House serves as a platform to reach out to the external community and allow them to learn more about the CJ experience and the opportunities for leadership and growth offered here. In addition, Open House also rallies and brings the whole college community together, displaying the vibrancy and college spirit in our community. The 43rd CI wing displayed entrepreneurial dare in initiating many innovative ideas and showed resourcefulness in making the Open House 2018 a bigger and a better one for all to take part in and learn from.

The CCA Bazaar followed soon after, which we planned as a platform for our JC1 students to make an informed decision before choosing the CCA that would facilitate their holistic development in CJC.

As an endeavour to support and recognise the effort of our peers, the 43rd CI wing also organised the annual Ablaze! campaign to appreciate various CCA groups in our college. Taking place during the annual ‘A’ Division and SYF competition period, Ablaze! aims to encourage CJCians to support their peers who have worked hard to represent the College. We collaborated with the college management and the CCA leaders to celebrate their achievements, participation and service to our College by launching a grand Opening Ceremony, and through morning updates on information and results of different competitions.

43rd Student Council STUDENT ACTIVITIES WING The Student Activities (SA) Wing aims to create a vibrant community with a strong sense of belonging to the college. Although all CJCians come from different walks of life, we strive to create a more closely-knit family, rooted in our shared values of Truth and Love, through our core initiatives which are Rockafella and Graduation Night.

Rockafella is CJC’s very own annual rock concert, where the CJ community can showcase their talents and perform, while their peers cheer them on. In its 14th installment-Rockafella XIV: Rev Up The Revolution, six student bands competed for the title of “Best Performance”. An alumni band and a Teachers’ band were invited to perform as well. Equipped with brilliant spotlights, state of the art sound systems and phenomenal performances, Rockafella XIV organised by the 43rd SA Wing drew close to 900 students, leading to a packed, but energised Auditorium on the night of the event. In addition, Rockafella memorabilia such as T-Shirts and drawstring bags were sold, with all proceeds including ticket sales going towards the CJC Student Fund.

voted for ‘Enchante’-the theme for Graduation Night 2018.

On 6 December 2018, our seniors came dressed in either suave suits or attractive dresses. The magical lighting and vibrant decorations accentuated the atmosphere in the ballroom where our graduating batch could enjoy their last hurrah as CJCians. The night was filled with entertaining performances, amusing games and unforgettable memories. With our in-house emcees and strong teamwork, we were able to put together an evening that the JC2s were looking forward to for months. The success of the event also gave us confidence to continue our team spirit and hard work as we take on full charge in 2019.

The 44th Student Council organised Graduation Night for the graduating batch of 2018 to commemorate the completion of their CJ journey and the start of a new chapter in their lives. This event was also dedicated to our seniors who mentored us and helped us ease into the rigour of JC life, and thus we wanted them to have a voice in choosing the theme for their own night. The JC2s chose a theme that resonated with them the most and

LEADERS’ DIALOGUE 2018 Leaders’ Dialogue is a platform provided by the Student Council that allows student leaders to come together and voice their thoughts on the current initiatives as well as propose action plans for an improved overall college experience. The Leaders’ Dialogue in 2018 was a significant component of the Leadership Training Camp and it served as a platform for the JC2 Student Leaders to play a more active and significant role in mentoring their juniors from the very start of their leadership journey in CJC. The 43rd Student Councillors facilitated the discussions between the JC2 and JC1 Student Leaders on how they could clarify their vision and firm up their action plans so as to lead the college community more meaningfully.

Regardless of the varied backgrounds and religious convictions present within the college community, the Student Council welcomes everyone in the community to take part in our programmes, making vibrancy and spirituality something for all to celebrate and enjoy. The opportunities provided to the student leaders have allowed them to grow in self-awareness and forge strong bonds with one another.

Serving and Adventuring Beyond: OSLP and OBS In Catholic Junior College, our students are called to be Thinkers with a Mission and Leaders with a Heart. Every year, we invite our students to sign up for programmes designed to stretch them. Held during the NovemberDecember period, these programmes allow our students to overcome physical and mental challenges through serving communities within South-East Asia and beyond.

One of our signature programmes is the Overseas Service Learning Programme (OSLP). This year, 99 students participated in OSLP trips to Vietnam and Thailand. They engaged in projects to better the lives of the beneficiaries in their own small ways. In the process of serving the wider community beyond the shores of Singapore, our students learn to think about the underlying issues regarding the challenges that their beneficiaries face, so that they can develop a sense of mission to enact positive change around them long after they return to Singapore.

In Vietnam, the students went to Mai Chau Valley, donating clothes and delivering essentials such as oil and rice to the poorer families, and constructing basic amenities such as cementing the ground and painting the walls of Thanh Tam Primary School. Our students also visited some of the villagers’ homes and interacted with the members of the community. OSLP Thailand participants interacted with the students of Wat Kao Thum Kun Chon School, imparting practical skills and immersing in the cultural exchange. All these service learning projects enabled our students to develop a keen awareness of the needs of the local communities, as well as values such as teamwork, resilience, initiative and adaptability in improvising when plans went awry. When our students returned, they shared about how they have grown in maturity through these authentic experiences.

Besides the OSLP, CJC partners Outward Bound Singapore (OBS) in building our students’ character and leadership qualities through safe, effective and impactful adventure education programmes, which also include a service learning component. 20 students went for the Outward Bound Hong Kong (OBHK) expedition and 16 were engaged in the Outward Bound local programme. OBHK comprised a 5-day trekking course, a 4-day sailing course and a 1-day service learning project.

Trekking to the highest peak, Tai Mo Shan, our students were rewarded with a breath-taking view and keenly understood the values of perseverance and teamwork.

Furthermore, by venturing out into the open blue sea and vast national parks, our students strengthened their physical endurance and developed their personal leadership skills. Whether it was the strenuous trekking with fifteen-kilogram backpacks up to the peak of Tai Mo Shan or the choppy waves when helming the boat, OBHK pushed our students to be better team players – resilient and empowered by a never-say-die attitude. The service learning project also helped students to realise how the beneficiaries are, like them, individuals with great worth.

Embarking on both land and sea expeditions, students who participated in the OBS local programme learned time and resource management skills and understood the importance of supporting and encouraging each other to make every journey a success.

Through our students’ participation in OSLP and the OBS Global Leadership Programme, they develop greater empathy for members of the global community and a deeper understanding of regional and global issues. In addition, they develop the qualities of integrity, discernment, initiative, resilience, humility, purpose and being nurturing, that will enable them to make a positive change in the community within and beyond Singapore.

Local Service Learning Programme In alignment with our desired student’s outcome, Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart, the Local Service Learning Programme (LSLP) is a key programme for all JC1 students in CJC. It aims to develop in students a sense of mission and purpose, ignite their passion and understand their duty as an active contributor to serve others for the betterment of the community.

In the spirit of servant leadership, our students embarked on the journey by exploring the causes and issues students personally feel for, be it poverty, hunger, minority rights, or issues surrounding aging by attending the annual LSLP fair, where more than twenty local Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWOs) send representatives to set up information booths in CJC. The students had the opportunity to converse with long-term volunteers to discover what it is like to help and serve in different areas and as a class, they decide on the cause that they would like to advocate for. The students then attended a session with speakers from various NGOs who shared about real-world issues and the solutions their organisations have implemented to better understand the needs of the sector whom they are serving.

Under the guidance of their Home Tutors and applying the process of the reflective cycle, students made sense of what they were doing and planned meaningful activities for their beneficiaries. In doing so, they do not merely embark on an ad-hoc project, but experience the full process of understanding the needs of the beneficiaries as well as the social issues involved. Their projects are then designed with three main principles in mind: impact on the wider community, the potential for deep learning, and opportunities for sustained action and continuity.

Many of the VWOs that our students choose to serve are long-term partners of CJC. They include the Archdiocesan Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants & Itinerant People (ACMI), Assisi Hospice, Bone Marrow Donor Programme (BMDP) and St Luke’s ElderCare. Looking ahead, we look forward to having our students help and contribute to the community in more areas.

Harvard Model Congress Asia Conference (HMCA) 5 - 9 January The Harvard Model Congress Asia Conference (HMCA) was held in Hong Kong, from 5 to 9 January 2018. In the 15th iteration of HMCA, over 600 delegates from around 80 schools converged at the internationally renowned Hong Kong University to work together and address a broad spectrum of challenges facing governments, institutions, and populations worldwide. At HMCA, students were tasked to discuss contemporary issues, draft policy papers, come to a consensus with regard to the passing of bills and resolutions, report on timely news stories, and rule on landmark court cases, all under the keen guidance of student experts and councillors from the esteemed Harvard University.

Throughout the conference, our students debated on specific and often controversial issues such as the need for an EU military force, the Rohingya refugee crisis, the use of microfinance to aid developing countries, human trafficking in ASEAN, and migrant worker rights. These issues are pertinent to all of us today, and they serve to further reinforce how globalized and interconnected our world is. HMCA constituted excellent training for our students, as the next generation of global leaders, to interact with a multitude of delegates from Asia and around the world. In the spirit of fostering cross-cultural connections and networks with each other, our students broadened their perspectives, and laid the foundation for future collaborations with an international community of like-minded individuals. More importantly, our students have forged meaningful friendships with delegates from other schools and countries and gained a greater sense of empathy for the values and beliefs of those different from them.

The three intensive days of Council Sessions that our students underwent were not for naught: at the end of it all, they emerged victorious with 7 awards, doing both CJC and themselves proud, with two Best Delegates and five Honourable Mentions. Shaun Song (2T04) and Vivek Sebastian Thomas (2T10) achieved a Best Delegate for their performance in the Hong Kong Historical Committee and World Bank respectively. Miriam Saguda (2T01), Lee Shu Ping (2T02), Zane Siak (2T02), Raksana Ayub (2T20), and Thomas Yang (2T17) also received Honourable Mentions for their performance in their various councils.

The commendable performance by the rest of the team has contributed to CJCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall achievement at the HMCA, which was a team effort: countless hours were spent doing research, bouncing ideas off each other, and crafting position papers. Throughout the trip, their passion for learning and interest in these global affairs were evident, and they have come out of the HMCA experience emboldened to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

Immersion Trip to Andhra Pradesh 20 - 28 November This academic trip has been an eye-opening experience for 15 CJC students who have been fortunate to be selected for the Immersion Trip to Andhra Pradesh. By putting aside our initial impressions of India and going into the country with an open mind, we benefitted greatly from an authentic learning experience. The opportunity to closely interact with government officials and the locals allowed us to grasp the scale and importance of the developments in Amavarati and Singapore’s role in the development. This allowed us to apply the knowledge that we learnt in the classroom to a real-life context, which further augmented our understanding of the world and gave us a stronger appreciation for our learning.

positive impact to the community there. By donating over 80 books to both Vijayawada Public Library and Lingayapalem Primary School, we were pleased that we were able to visit India not as mere passive observers, but rather as active contributors to the global community, making a difference in the lives of local communities by providing some resources that they may require.

All in all, we benefitted greatly from this experience.

India is a dynamic country that is developing at a rapid pace, peopled by many motivated minds. We went to India with an open mind and were transformed by what we witnessed and experienced.

We were also given the valuable opportunity to travel alongside staff from the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) who had expert knowledge on the socio-economic developments in Amavarati. By tapping on their expertise, we were able to derive insights into the significance of the developments in the new city as well as its impacts on the local people and on India as a whole.

Aside from the academic engagement, there was a service aspect in our trip in which we aimed to leave behind a

History Enrichment Trip to Vietnam 21 - 27 November The History Enrichment Trip to Vietnam provided us participants with a valuable opportunity to immerse ourselves in the rich historical legacies of Vietnam. The seven day-six night trip covered three cities, namely Ho Chi Minh, Hue and Hanoi. It was a memorable visit that provided us with broader perspectives and developed in us a more nuanced understanding of the history, politics and society of Vietnam.

on societal consciousness through the narratives that were presented.

Our final official visit was made to the Ho Chi Minh museum in Hanoi which engaged us with insights into the political journey of Ho Chi Minh and the sacrifices he made for the country. All in all, the trip left us with invaluable memories of a rich educational experience and new friendships forged.

We made our first visit to Ho Chi Minh City where we visited the Thien Phuoc orphanage that housed and cared for children affected by the ravaging and irreversible effects of Agent Orange. It was a novel and eye-opening experience for us as we interacted and played with the children. To witness the physical and detrimental effects of war on civilians was truly a humbling experience for participants in the programme.

In addition, we paid a visit to the Hoa Lo Prison in Hanoi to learn more about the struggles of the Vietnamese people against the French colonisers, as well as their relationship with American prisoners of war (POWs). This experience gave us an opportunity to critically reflect on the nature of history and the impact of propaganda

Hong Kong University Immersion Programme 21 - 28 November The Hong Kong University Immersion Programme was an enriching eight-day journey that provided us with an opportunity to learn about a city that is known as one of the “Four Asian Dragons”. From 21 to 28 November, we visited multiple sites and attended many interesting lectures at the University of Hong Kong. Through the lectures and activities, we discovered different aspects of Hong Kong, such as its judicial system, the impact of a rising China, and the role of globalisation on its economy.

Visiting local places such as Wah Yan College and Young Women’s Christian Association allowed us to understand the points of view of various stakeholders on topics like education and social enterprise. We witnessed the strengths of Hong Kong, such as its efficient Mass Transit Railway system, as well as understand the challenges the city faces, such as land use and housing problems.

This allowed us to compare Hong Kong with Singapore, which has its own unique challenges, and to reflect on our national policies and concerns, including areas where we can improve on as a nation. Through this, we learnt more about Hong Kong’s unique position as “One Country, Two Systems”.

One of the seminars that we thoroughly enjoyed was the Social Enterprise seminar due to its interactive nature. It provided us with a deeper and criticial understanding of social enterprises and its unique position in Hong Kong. We were tasked to design a solution to a problem faced in Singapore such as “academic stress” or “underage smoking”, and offered creative solutions such as the Zapperox, which is a cigarette box that shocks the user when a cigarette is taken out.

This trip also allowed us to understand more about critical thinking and leadership as we were guided on how to make an effective argument and learnt about different types of leadership. We returned to Singapore with a wealth of knowledge, more friendships made and memories forged.

Parents’ Information Evening 17 - 18 January The annual JC2 Parents’ Information Evening aimed to provide essential information on the JC2 programme and engage parents in supporting the JC2s in their journey towards the GCE ‘A’ Level Examinations.

To highlight the challenges and opportunities the JC2s experienced as part of the holistic CJC programme, the event began with a video screening featuring the various Stretch Programmes the JC2s undertook during the months of November and December. These include academic trips such as the Suzhou Science Immersion Programme, the Work Attachment & Shadowing Programme, as well the Overseas Service Learning and Outward Bound programmes. Thereafter, the school choir took the stage with their heartfelt renditions of the Circle Of Life from The Lion King and Why We Sing by Greg Gilpin. Again, this underscored CJC’s focus on encouraging students to pursue their passions and give back to the community.

After the event was opened in prayer, the Principal’s Address saw Mrs Phyllis Lim emphasising how CJC’s rigorous academic programme and robust character education programme have produced commendable 2017 GCE ‘A’ Level results and CCA achievements. She focused on how CJC prepares its students for higher education, in light of how competitive university admissions are. Mrs Lim also gave the parents insight into the support system CJC has put into place to help its students excel. Subsequently, this was added to by the President of the Student Council, Kiven Singh, and Captain of Patrick House, Ryan Lee, who took the stage to share the College Theme, Hearts Ablaze: One Flame, One Family. The theme summed up

63

the College’s drive to foster a college culture where every individual is empowered to grow and serve others, thereby building each other up.

Thereafter, the parents had the opportunity to touch base with Home Tutors in the respective homerooms. Overall, this event saw the college, parents, and students come together to work for the good of the current JC2 batch.

JC1 Orientation 2 - 8 February Catholic Junior College welcomed the new JC1 cohort on 2 February 2018. True to its name, Orientation 2018: Fiesta Familias involved a week of festivities celebrating the induction of the new JC1s into the CJC family.

From the very beginning of Orientation week, the JC1s were received warmly by the JC2 Orientation Group Leaders (OGLs). Apart from their loud choruses of welcome, the OGLs also generated excitement and anticipation for the occasion by performing a mass dance to a mashup of catchy songs. The JC1s joined in thereafter, and in the midst of interacting with each other and picking up the dance moves, their initial lack of unfamiliarity and unease soon dissipated. To help the JC1s to further settle into the community and to facilitate their induction, they were divided into groups headed by the JC2 OGLs who were their close companions and guides throughout Orientation week.

Their growing sense of belonging to their respective Orientation groups and to the larger College community dovetailed neatly with them shedding their various secondary school uniforms to put on the distinctive blue CJC uniform, signifying their adoption of a new identity as CJC students.

The unity in diversity and inexhaustible passion the JC1s and their OGLs collectively displayed throughout Orientation week are an apt demonstration of how the College Theme, Hearts Ablaze: One Flame, One Family, has firmly taken root in CJC.

As Orientation week progressed, the JC1s not only experienced CJCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture of care through their OGLs, but also found themselves part of the vibrant College life as they occupied themselves with games, cheer-offs, and even a field trip to the Bay East Garden.

Chinese New Year Celebration 15 February Red lanterns made out of red packets adorned the railings of Catholic Junior College and they set a festive mood for the annual Chinese New Year celebration.

The day began with a reflection by Kiven Singh (2T29), the President of the Student Council, commemorating Total Defence Day. He reminded us of the importance of national service, emphasizing the responsibility each Singaporean has to defend our country. After assembly, representatives from each class participated in an “amazing race” while the rest engaged in spring cleaning and class bonding activities led by the Aesthetics Leaders.

Thereafter, performances began at the auditorium with beautiful melodies by the Guzheng Ensemble and the Guitar Ensemble. Cheers erupted as the winners of the inter-class competition, namely 1T02, 1T35, 2T09, and 2T02, were then announced. The excitement continued with loud sounds of drums and cymbals reverberating through the auditorium as the Lion Dance performers arrived. It was definitely a spectacular sight as the lions danced along to the percussion music culminating with the display of scrolls with Chinese New Year blessings.

The Home Tutorial Councillors then gave out mandarin oranges to their beloved teachers as a token of respect, wishing them a year of good fortune ahead. The Music Ministry sang popular Chinese New Year songs as CJCians got into the spirit of the season and sang along. To bring the day’s festivities to a close, Mrs Phyllis Lim, our Principal, thanked the organisers of the event and wished everyone a happy Chinese New Year. Indeed, the Chinese New Year celebration was a huge success, with every member of the community joining in on the merriment as we ushered in the Year of the Dog.

‘A’ Level Results 23 February The Auditorium was filled with a mixture of excitement and nervous energy on 23 February 2018 as the Class of 2017 awaited the release of the GCE ‘A’ Level results.

Amidst the reunions and delighted embraces, our Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim, took to the stage and welcomed the Class of 2017 back home in CJC. She announced that the Class of 2017 has done the college proud by achieving commendable results, suppressing the previous years’ university entrance rate. Loud cheers erupted from the Class of 2017 as they knew that the effort they had put in last year had finally paid off.

Mrs Lim proceeded to announce the subjects with pass rates that exceeded the national average, and subjects which achieved improved distinction rates. The names of students who did exceptionally well were revealed next from both the Arts and Science streams. Each time the slides changed to reveal a new list of names, thunderous applause was heard. Mrs Lim also took the time to acknowledge the scholars, student leaders, and students under the GROW programme who had done well. The atmosphere was at its peak, as everyone celebrated the success of the Class of 2017.

Five students who received outstanding academic and holistic results were invited to address the crowd. They expressed their immense gratitude to various teachers and those who had guided them throughout their journey in CJC. In addition, they shared valuable tips with the JC1s and JC2s who were present. Derrick Tan, the Arts Valedictorian for 2017, advised his juniors to “fly above the storm like eagles”, and conquer the GCE ‘A’ Level Examinations to the best of their ability.

True to CJC tradition, students who did well in the ‘A’ Level examinations were invited to the library to receive their results. The Class of 2017 has indeed successfully exemplified the College’s mission for every CJCian to be a Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart.

Commencement Ceremony 27 February The annual Commencement Ceremony was a momentous occasion that marked several new beginnings for the College. As the new JC1s were inducted into the CJC family, the ceremony heralded the start of their academic journey. The new House Shields that pay homage to CJC’s House Patrons were also officially unveiled.

The Commencement Ceremony began with the entrance of His Grace, Archbishop William Goh, the altar servers, and school leaders. They were followed closely by the student leaders, who bore the national and school flags as well as the new House banners that reflect the respective House Shields.

Thereafter, the Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim delivered her opening address. She warmly welcomed the incoming JC1s to the CJC family and highlighted that they, like all other members of the community, not only enjoy privileges but also bear responsibilities to each other. She placed particular emphasis on how the House System unifies members of the community and how CJCians should consider the House Patrons as role models that exemplify

67

the values of a Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart.

Mrs Lim also explained how these values were reflected in the design of the House Shields, produced through the collective effort of the CJC community.

His Grace, Archbishop William Goh then blessed the House Shields, praying that they would inspire and guide generations of CJC students. He also prayed for the JC2s in their GCE ‘A’ Level year, as well as the JC1s, who have entered a new stage in their lives. Subsequently, he blessed the college pins, which the JC2s pinned on for the JC1s, demonstrating the culture of care in CJC. The Commencement Ceremony ended in high spirits as the college community sang the College anthem with pride and joy.

Mother Tongue Language (MTL) Fortnight 20 February - 13 March As part of MTL Fortnight, CJC launched Unlocking the Cultural Puzzles @ Balestier for more than 500 JC1 students to develop an understanding and appreciation of their Mother Tongue and its associated culture. In collaboration with the National Heritage Board, students embarked on an interactive heritage trail along Balestier Road. The area, which was once a sugarcane plantation, remains home to traditional shophouses that continue to offer goods and services to the local community.

Prior to the trip, students conducted online research about various cultural sites such as the Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall, Thong Teck Sian Tong Lian Sin Sia temple and Lam Yeo Coffee Powder factory. They then crafted engaging scripts to form a series of group presentations during the trail in order to share this newfound information with their peers. A new initiative this year was the inclusion of eighteen Senior Middle (SM) 2 students from China who joined our JC1 students to learn about the rich history and heritage of Balestier Road.

69

This activity promoted self-directed learning and teamwork, while cultivating a deeper appreciation for the rich culture of Balestier. Many of the skills gained such as oral presentation and looking up primary research were also transferrable to other subjects such as Project Work. Through this meaningful experience, students were able to enjoy themselves while learning beyond the classroom.

Following their return, students took part in a Postcard Design Competition to consolidate their learning. They added meaningful captions in their respective Mother Tongue languages to the pictures they had taken at Balestier, creating unique postcards which they then mailed to their friends and family. It is through these postcards that students took home a piece of Balestier and were able to spread the learning to other people in Singapore.

Rockafella XIV: Rev Up The Revolution 6 April Much like its previous iterations, Rockafella XIV: Rev Up the Revolution was a talent search, band competition, and concert all rolled into one. A well-loved fixture of the school calendar, it stayed true to its theme and drew a highly engaged crowd of around 900 students in its fourteenth year.

The onstage chemistry and banter of the emcees, Muhamad Mamfizam (2T01), Marcus Loo (2T06), and Mugdha Jaruhar (2T03) revved up anticipation for the unveiling of the night’s line-up of eight bands. The six student bands were Mental Makeup, Femme, The Blue Hymn Book, Rogue, Juxtaposition and Hard Time. Each band’s take on popular songs showcased diversity in song choice, performance style, and musicality. Whether they were dynamic full bands or a performing duo featuring a loop pedal and boasting stripped-down simplicity, they stood out for their ability to excite and move the audience.

Sports and Aesthetics Carnival 18 - 25 May At CJC’s annual Sports and Aesthetics Carnival, students were offered a variety of games ranging from the usual basketball and ultimate frisbee to rather unique games like Quidditch (adapted from Harry Potter) and Capture The Flag. The two days were full of fun and laughter, where every CJCian’s sporting abilities were put to the test to bring their Houses glory.

The first day began with the preliminary rounds of the 100m Boys & Girls races at the Physical, Sports & Outdoor Education Branch at Evans Road. With students playing their hearts out and displaying true sportsmanship, the atmosphere was exuberant and energetic. The day was brought to a close with the exhilarating 100m Boys and Girls finals.

The emcees, Andre Ng (2T13), Ayden Mohan (2T18), R Keegan Kavindra (2T08), and Muhamad Mamfizam (2T01), kicked off the second day with a mini skit based on this year’s theme, Space. The crowd was awed by the flying

After three hours of games, the CJC community gathered once again at the grandstand to watch the muchanticipated dance segment by each house.

The sports carnival ended with the highly-anticipated announcement of the results. Albert House, the reigning champions from 2017’s edition, beat Joseph House by a small margin to reclaim the championship for the third year running. This was followed by Michael and Patrick Houses coming in third and fourth place respectively. The event was brought to a close with the College Cheer led by the House captains, Ryan Lee (2T26), Jeremiah Tay (2T28), Lettitia Quek (2T22), and Beckham Wee (2T27), together with the sports leaders.

Think Careers and Higher Education Festival 17 May CJCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Think Careers and Higher Education Fest is a precious opportunity for CJC students to interact with industry professionals. In particular, the JC2 students gain valuable insight to start considering the important career decisions they would have to make upon their graduation.

Our guest speakers, who are professionals in their own fields such as Accounting, Banking, Education, Law, Media, and Social Work, recounted their stories and precious experiences, allowing students to attain a firsthand perspective of their chosen fields of interest. While many of the guest speakers, who were also CJC alumni, had attended this event before, they were still delighted to meet new students and continue to impact their lives.

The talks were engaging: some brought in Powerpoint slides and hands-on activities, hoping to better engage the students, thereby sharing their passion for their respective careers.

Student representatives were also present to ensure that the talks went smoothly and to facilitate the Question and Answer sessions. They helped to bridge the gap between the speakers and students, ensuring the talks were beneficial and addressed the specific concerns of the JC2 students.

Senior Head Nurse, Ms Roshni, from MOHH delivers a talk on the Healthcare sector Various exhibition booths, belonging to several Institutes of Higher Learning such as the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Institute of Management and LASALLE College of the Arts, were also set up in the auditorium for students to gather information on the tertiary courses and opportunities available. Crowds of students gathered around the booths, eager to learn more about the pathways they could embark on in the future. Many could also be seen asking the representatives questions related to their dream degree or university.

Vivid, riveting and thought-provoking, the Think Careers and Higher Education Fest inspired the current batch of CJC students to explore Higher Education options and to clarify their areas of interest and passion. Many CJC students left with a renewed sense of motivation to endeavour towards their respective paths.

CJ Celebrates 29 June CJ Celebrates 2018 saw the CJC Performing Arts groups coming together to give a scintillating performance, in line with the theme Celebrating Talent, Celebrating Us. Teachers, parents and friends streamed into the Performing Arts Centre, looking forward to the performances which had been honed through months of preparation. This year, CJC also had the privilege to host beneficiaries from St. Luke’s Eldercare as part of the audience. In her opening address, the Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim, highlighted that the performances were an affirmation of the performers’ hard work and contribution to the College. For the JC2s especially, these final performances marked a pivotal moment in their time in CJC. The show started off with an opening video by the Film, Sound, Video Society featuring the difficulties faced by the student performers in preparing for CJ Celebrates, heightening anticipation for and appreciation of the performances to follow. Thereafter, the Guzheng Ensemble performed the pop song, Attention, by Charlie Puth. This certainly got the audience’s attention as the musicians’ traditional instruments were juxtaposed with the familiar tune of this modern pop song. The Music Ministry then took the stage for their debut performance at CJ Celebrates.

True to their mission of leading others to praise and worship God, the Music Ministry presented uplifting songs with their melodic voices.

This was followed by the Drama Society, which staged their original play, Found You, set during the horrific reign of the Khmer Rouge. The heart-wrenching performance effectively conveyed its thought-provoking message about the evil and brutality mankind is capable of, underscoring the fact that the Certificate Of Distinction the CJC Drama Society secured at the 2018 Singapore Youth Festival (Arts Presentation) is indubitably well-deserved.

Next, CJC Dance put up a warmly-received performance that demonstrated their versatility as they switched effortlessly between different dance styles. Thereafter, the Choir, Guitar Ensemble, and Symphonic Band performed respectively, delighting everyone with their enthusiastic and skilful music-making.

CJ Celebrates ended off on a high as all the Performing Arts groups collaborated to perform the song titled Seasons Of Love to resounding applause. This event highlights how self-assured individuals that confidently pursue their passion in their fields of interest are cultivated through the range of Co-Curricular Activities offered in CJC.

Student Leaders Appreciation Ceremony 3 July The Student Leaders Appreciation Ceremony marks the end of the leadership journey students embark on during their time in CJC. It is an occasion to affirm the achievements of and contributions made by the JC2 student leaders. For students who have been personally invested in a two-year leadership journey, the ceremony is also an important milestone to take stock of their personal development and the impact they have made on the CJC community.

an avenue for character development, given that each House Patron embodies specific Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart attributes that are also depicted on the House Shields. A different example of able student leadership Mrs Lim provided was in relation to the CJC Drama Society; the student leaders rallied their team to rewrite the script and stage an original production, which was received with great acclaim at the 2018 Singapore Youth Festival (Arts Presentation).

In the spirit of showing appreciation for the JC2 student leaders, the ceremony began with worship and prayer to give thanks to God, who enables them to work for the good of others. Father Gregory Tan, the Chaplain of CJC, presided over this prayer service and also shared from Scripture to encourage and edify the College community.

The 43rd Student Council President, Kiven Singh (2T29), then addressed the audience, reflecting on the joys and challenges of leadership, which resonated with the student leaders, regardless of their rank or title. Thereafter, certificates were handed out to all the student leaders serving in different capacities, in their Home Classes, CCAs, and the College, to commend them for giving back to their community, which is at the heart of CJCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ethos. The 43rd batch of student leaders can take pride in having shown succeeding batches of students the positive impact that leadership can have on the community.

This was followed by the Principalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s address. Recognising the diversity in interests and talents of the student body, as seen in the range of Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) offered by the College and the common pursuit of excellence by the CCAs, Mrs Phyllis Lim spotlighted the array of achievements of the outgoing student leaders.

For instance, they were involved in the conceptualisation of the House Shields and House Patrons unveiled in 2018.

This galvanised greater student ownership in the House system initiative and strengthened the House system as

Student Leaders Installation Ceremony 6 July The Student Leaders Installation Ceremony officially marked the beginning of the leadership journey of CJC’s 44th cohort of leaders as they took over from their predecessors.

The College Theme, Hearts Ablaze: One Flame, One Family, the defining legacy of the 43rd cohort of leaders, could not be more apt for the occasion, which saw the gathering of the CJC community to witness the passing on of the torch from one batch to the next.

A series of speeches were delivered to encourage and edify the CJC student leaders. The Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim, emphasised the developmental process of growing into the position of a student leader that is a Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart. The Guest of Honour, Dr Reuben Ng, Student Council President of the Class of 1999, focused on the qualities of student leaders in his speech. He placed a premium on diligent, resilient leaders that understood the people they are serving, through data collection and effective communication. He also urged the student leaders to rely on their support networks and cherish important relationships with others. In his homily, Chancellor Friar John-Paul Tan drew attention to the student leaders’ duty to embody both aspects of the College Motto, In Veritate et Caritate, in the morally upright lives they should live and their loving action towards those in their community.

75

The passing of the flame and the House flags was the final highlight of the ceremony. The outgoing House Captains conducted the passing of the flags to their successors, while the 43rd Student Council President, Kiven Singh (2T29), passed the flame on to his successor, Trina Ng (1T03), who then passed it on to the rest of the student leaders. This signified the continuation of the legacy wrought by the outgoing student leaders as they handed over their responsibilities to the incoming student leaders.

In her address, Trina represented the newly installed student leaders in affirming their commitment to their office, which they also collectively declared through the recitation of oaths. With this, the 44th cohort of student leaders officially assumed their predecessors’ mantle with conviction and pride, which bodes well for the flourishing of the CJC community.

Literary Evening 13 July CJC’s annual Literary Evening is an important staple of the College calendar as it features plays penned, directed and staged by JC2 Literature students. This not only provides a platform for creative self-expression, nurturing selfassured individuals empowered to pursue their areas of passion, but also provides developmental opportunities for students to stretch themselves academically as they deconstruct their GCE ‘A’ Level texts. This year’s Literary Evening, Mindscapes, was a nod in the direction of the elective paper, which is focused on the mind and self in Literature.

Hosted by Literature students Samuel Sim (2T02) and Naomi Low (2T03), the evening opened dramatically with 2T01’s A Portrait of the Young Artist Drowning. A darkly riveting fusion of James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man with the abrasive dialogue of Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, this original play showcased a volatile night in a spectacle of wit and minds pitted against each other. Without a moment to catch a breath, the audience was immediately thrust into a whirlwind of stumbling revelations and bloody histories concealed beneath glittering smiles in 2T02/04’s We All Fall Down. A crossover between F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Albee’s Woolf, a glamorously deceptive Gatsby-era party was crafted, where Tom and Daisy’s romanticised facades were stripped down to barest marrow by the blood-hungry George and Martha. The finale saw an unusual blend between George Bernard Shaw’s Saint Joan and Albee’s Woolf, in 2T06’s SlowDance in My Mind. Science and religion were brought into conflict as Joan’s mystical experiences were skeptically questioned by the pragmatic and scientific mind of Nick.

Consequently, the talk show segment provided an exclusive insider’s look into the workings of the production team, and underscored the academic value CJC’s Literary Evening affords by giving students the stage to explore the richness of their GCE ‘A’ Level texts.

The plays of this year’s Literary Evening collectively presented an in-depth understanding of the human condition, of the durability of the mind, and also of its fragility. Yet the mind’s capacity for damage is matched by its ability to create, to heal, and to rebuild. Just as the audience took away memories of Literary Evening, so too would they carry with them these poignant lessons that serve to remind us that all in all, our mindscapes are ours to control.

Besides being literarily engaged, the audience was also literally engaged through the interactive talk show segment, featuring representatives from each play on the panel. With particular focus on the literary techniques employed and intended audience effects, students shared their creative process and textual adaptation.

Annual Awards Presentation Ceremony 20 July Every year, CJC recognises and celebrates the accomplishments of its most exceptional students and the dedication of its staff at the Annual Awards Ceremony.

The 43rd Annual Awards was no different, and the CJC community, including the Class of 2017, gathered on 20 July 2018 to witness this momentous occasion.

As with all milestones in the school calendar, the ceremony began in the spirit of upholding Catholic values via prayer, worship, and Scripture reading. In prayer and through worship, God’s love and provision for the CJC community was affirmed, and Scripture was a reminder that this is the impetus for students to serve the wider community as salt and light in this world.

The service was followed by the Principal’s address. In line with CJC’s vision of being a place of Excellence in Learning and Living, Mrs Phyllis Lim gave various members and groups within the CJC community the spotlight. This included congratulating the Class of 2017, which boasted commendable GCE ‘A’ Level results, setting benchmarks for succeeding generations to improve on. Beyond academic scores, Mrs Lim also commended the CJC Drama Society for its award-winning original play performed at the Singapore Youth Festival (Arts Presentation), a testament to CJC’s focus on cultivating confident, expressive young people with their own views.

The Guest of Honour, Mr John Yap from the Class of 1988 and co-founder of Awfully Chocolate, then took the stage to provide a realistic perspective of the demands of the working world, which he tempered with the assurance

77

that one’s future is shaped by good character and strong ambitions, and not just academic qualifications.

The award recipients then received their scholarships and prizes in turn. These include the CJC and Ministry of Education (MOE) scholarships and the subject prizes for CJC’s internal examinations. The alumni from the Class of 2017 were also recognised for their remarkable GCE ‘A’ Level scores and CCA achievements. Notably, the Ms Narindar Kaur Award (Humanities) and Mr Tay Chen Hui Memorial Award (Science), given to the top Arts and Science students respectively, were awarded to to Inez Yong Hui En (T02, Class of 2017) and Timothy Wong Eu-Jin (T16, Class of 2017), while the Ee Peng Liang Award for well-rounded students that exemplify college values was awarded to Derrick Tan Rui Yang (T01, Class of 2017).

Other stakeholders in the CJC community were similarly honoured for their accomplishments and contributions.

Father Leslie Raj, CJC’s former Chaplain of 16 years, and Mr Yap, received the Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart Award. Outstanding teachers and administrative staff received awards such as the Long Service Award and MOE Service Excellence Awards, while the The Friends of CJC Award was given to the members of the Parent Support Group for their tireless and generous service in support of key school initiatives.

As the ceremony drew to a close, members of the CJC community were heartened by the standards of excellence displayed and galvanised into action to strive for selfimprovement and strengthening of the College community.

National Day Celebrations 8 August CJC held its annual National Day celebrations this year on 8 August 2018 to commemorate Singapore’s 53rd year of independence. This year’s National Day theme was We are Singapore, emphasising a sense of unity in our collective pledge. CJC further refined the theme for its celebration to Building Bricks of Hope for Tomorrow, in line with its college-wide community service project that promoted the same sense of inclusivity reflected in the National Day theme.

The morning started with a morning Mass held in the College chapel. This was followed by the Observance Ceremony, including a parade where the different Uniformed Groups demonstrated their drills. The Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim, inspected the contingent before addressing the College, communicating the Minister of Education’s National Day Message. The message emphasised how crucial it is for Singaporeans to work together in the same spirit that enabled them to overcome the difficulties faced as a young nation.

The hard work and collective effort necessary for the building of the Singapore Map was also a timely reminder of how earlier generations of Singaporeans toiled to build the Singapore it is today.

The Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim, was presented with a certificate of recognition for the Singapore Map artefact by the relevant officials, and this was followed by the mass sing-along of iconic National Day tunes, which has led by CJC’s Music Ministry. The 2018 National Day celebrations ended on a high with the whole college singing the classic Singaporean favourite, Home, in unison. It is hoped that as everyone envisioned the home they want to live in, they also reflected on the part they each have to play to make this a reality.

Thereafter, the students and staff of CJC began their work to build a logo of the Singapore Map using paper bricks. This initiative marked the end of the college-wide community service project which entailed raising funds in Term 3 for St Luke’s Eldercare and Assisi Hospice in order to support the terminally ill and aged in our society, as well as their family and caregivers. By folding and assembling paper bricks carrying messages of hope for the future of the nation, taking stock of the blessings it has enjoyed thus far, the students and staff of CJC celebrated the values that have enabled Singapore to flourish, which include inclusivity and care for the community.

Notably, the Singapore Map artefact is recognised by the Singapore Book of Records, and a great achievement for the CJC community, not least because it symbolises the community’s unity in working towards a common goal.

Teachers’ Day 30 August CJC celebrated the contributions of all its teaching and non-teaching staff through its annual Teachers’ Day celebration. This year, the theme for the occasion was A Symphony of Lights, symbolising the efforts of the staff in leading students towards a brighter future. On this special day, however, the tables were turned via the student-led programme, which saw an exciting start during morning assembly, when the Dance Club performed to express their gratitude towards their teachers and the other staff in the College.

Following that, the students ushered their teachers to their respective homerooms where they interacted over games and food prepared by the students. Thereafter, the CJC community assembled in the Auditorium for the second part of the student performances for the day. The highlight of these performances was the range of talent that shone through, which included a violin recital, singing of pop songs, jamming in a band, and the performance of a original song competition.

More importantly, during the student performances, the teachers were pleasantly surprised by the gifts the students had prepared for each of them. Every teacher received a frame containing handwritten notes addressed to them, with each frame specially decorated for the teacher. All in all, the combination of the student-led programme and performances, as well as the students’ sincere gratitude expressed through the gifts, encouraged the teachers and other staff to continue giving their best to the students.

Annual Staff Celebration 30 August This year’s Annual Staff Celebration was held at Goodwood Park Hotel. Both the teaching and administrative staff came decked out in colourful and inventive costumes according to the theme, Under One Roof. The staff were very sporting and role-played different families such as the Addams Family, a family of Superheroes, and the Crazy Rich Asians family. The event began that with a dramatic entrance by the Staff Welfare Committee role-played a family of superheroes from the D.C. and Marvel worlds. The staff were treated to a myriad of fun activities and performances, ranging from the adaptation of a bingo game to get the staff to know more about each other, a medley of songs performed by Vincent Yu, Alex Wong and Angela Tie, to a beautiful and creative dikir barat performance describing the staff’s positive experiences in CJC. The celebration ended on a climactic note with the Best Dressed Competition. Each staff walked away with specially curated gifts to thank them for their service. The celebration ended with staff reinforcing their ties as one CJC family.

Graduation Day 5 October On 5 October 2018, CJC commemorated its annual Graduation Day to recognise the achievements and contributions of the JC2s (Class of 2018). This year’s theme, Hearts Ablaze: Dream, Believe, Achieve, urged the JC2 students to chase their dreams and to fully become Thinkers with a Mission, Leaders with a Heart.

The ceremony commenced with the procession of Home Tutorial Councillors and House Captains carrying vibrant class creation pieces completed by the JC2s. Containing the collective memories and experiences during their time in CJC, these class creation pieces crowned the cohort’s contributions to the College. The Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim, then addressed the cohort by looking back at memorable events in their journey and commending their involvement in creating the House Shields and thus leaving a unique legacy. The Guest of Honour, CJC alumnus Mr Ivan Yeo, then shared his experiences in and out of CJC and how one can embody the College Motto, In Veritate et Caritate.

The College Chaplain, Father Gregory Tan, led the prayer service before the presentation of awards to outstanding student and classes. The contributions and achievements of sports leaders and arts representatives were recognised with the presentation of the Colours Awards, Singapore Youth Festival (Arts Presentation) awards, Sports Leaders awards, and the JC2 Home Tutorial Councillor awards. The presentation of awards closed with the announcement of the Most Outstanding Home Class award, awarded to 2T05, and the Most Outstanding Contribution award, awarded to 2T09.

Dillen Singh Selvam (2T04) and Kiven Singh (2T29) were the valedictorians for the Arts and Science faculties respectively. Both shared their personal leadership journeys and thanked their classmates, friends and teachers for helping them grow to become better leaders. Subsequently, a video montage by the Film, Sound, Video Society elicited strong emotions among the students, with some in disbelief at how quickly the two years have gone by.

Keeping with CJC tradition, the Home Tutors pinned the graduation collar pins onto their students’ shirt collars, signifying the passing on of the CJC flame and thereby the values and beliefs CJC holds dear. Thereafter, the physical flame of the CJC candle was passed on from student leaders to the student body, filling the whole auditorium with many shining lights, symbolising the many hearts that make up the whole CJC community. The ceremony concluded with the College anthem, sung by the students with earnest hearts for the very last time. As they sang, they reflected on the spirit of Truth and Love that would stay ignited in them for many years to come.

JC1 End Of Year Thanksgiving Ceremony 26 October The JC1 End of Year Thanksgiving Ceremony is an annual event that brings the College community together to reflect and give thanks for the year past. It was held on 26 October 2018 and the Ceremony was commemorated in two parts. The first half had students sharing their personal reflections for the year with their Home Tutors.

During the time in their homerooms, students reflected on the new bonds forged and the growth they have made academically and in their co-curricular pursuits.

The sharing ended with every student writing a letter to self that would be returned to them at the end of JC2. These letters, describing their hopes and dreams, were collected and presented for the second part of the Ceremony which was presided by the College Chaplain, Father Gregory Tan. During the second part of the Ceremony, the Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim, celebrated the successes of the College and presented the Singapore Youth Festival (Arts Presentation) and the Colours Award for Co-Curricular Activities to students who achieved excellence in their

fields. In line with the College Theme, Hearts Ablaze: One Flame, One Family, Mrs Lim also encouraged the cohort to commit to their aspirations and while doing so, to show gratitude to the people who helped them in their journeys and to give back to the community. In the same vein, as part of CJC’s continued collaboration with voluntary welfare organisations, funds were raised for two beneficiaries this year – St Luke’s Eldercare and Assisi Hospice. A representative from each beneficiary was invited on stage to receive a cheque of $15,000 each from Mrs Lim. In closing, the President of the 44th Student Council, Trina Ng (2T03), and the Captain of Joseph House, Megan Lim (2T07), spoke of the need for everyone to work together as a team and to bring the College further as a driven and passionate family. Trina also presented a token of appreciation to the Parents Support Group for their unstinting care and concern for the well-being of students and staff. A rousing finale of the closing hymn and College anthem brought the Ceremony to a meaningful close.

Graduation Night 6 December Graduation Night was held on the 6 December for the Class of 2018. The theme for this year’s Graduation Night, voted by the cohort, was Enchante: A Magical Night Awaits. It was a night that was highly anticipated as JC2 students gathered at Park Royal Hotel to enjoy a night of fun after just having completed their ‘A’ Levels.

The evening began with a prayer by the Student Council to give thanks for the present batch and their experiences in CJC. To grace the occasion, our Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim, delivered a speech highlighting the many accomplishments of the batch, encouraging them to live out the college values. Dr Gillian Koh from the School Management Committee also addressed the JC2s, urging them to remain committed to the College.

The night was full of engaging and lively activities for the students, starting off with a game of Kahoot, which required each table to answer trivia about the College.

Students were also invited to share the highlights of their

83

journey in CJC or to pay a tribute to their friends and teachers who have made a great impact in their lives. To add to the lively atmosphere, performances by student bands ‘Rouge’ and ‘Femme’ entertained the audience with a medley of songs. As they enjoyed the performances and dinner, many took the opportunity to visit the photo booth where they queued in excitement with their friends.

Hopeful JC2s were called to the stage for the lucky draw, for a chance to win attractive prizes that ranged from branded drawstring bags to an Ipad.

The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Prom King and Queen. Jazmine Monaz and Muhamad Mamfizam Ismail, both from 2T01, won the titles of Prom Queen and King respectively. It was a truly memorable and eventful night for many. CJC’s Graduation night signifies a turning point in our lives as the graduating batch celebrates all the memories made in CJ, and embark on yet another journey.

BADMINTON The Badminton team’s journey this year has been long and arduous, but also fun and fulfilling. Our athletes had to balance training three times a week with academic commitments and other duties, such as planning for events. This was a challenge the entire team faced, but through this, we grew as one, learning to depend on each other during and outside of training. We became more resilient through the tough times and formed lasting friendships along the way.

BASKETBALL It has been an inspiring year for the CJC Basketball team.

Under the guidance of Coach Ong and strong support from our teachers, we qualified for the quarterfinals of the National School Games (‘A’ Division) for the first time since 2015. We achieved this through hard work and determination, but most importantly, we journeyed together as one family.

We also took part in the National Youth Sports Institute Basketball Challenge at the start of the year, and together with various friendly matches, these platforms provided crucial match experience and fostered team bonding. We grew both physically and mentally as these games toughened our spirit and taught us to persevere. The setbacks, though hard to take, were the best sources of growth as we learned to overcome challenges through our common values and passion for the sport.

The Executive Committee has served the team well by leading in the training camp and training sessions.

New initiatives to improve team bonding and physical conditioning were also introduced. Our members also had opportunities to lead activities and games, allowing us to step out of our comfort zone. All these experiences have shaped us into student athletes with the passion to serve others and the will to overcome adversity.

CANOEING When we first joined the Canoeing team, most of us were completely new to the sport. Nevertheless, we emerged from our two-year Canoeing journey as stronger individuals not only physically, but mentally.

This growth truly embodies our motto “Mentis Opprimo Materia”, Latin for “Mind over Matter”.

This year, we competed in the National Junior Canoeing Championships and the National School Games (‘A’ Division) against strong competitors.

Throughout the two years in CJC, the team displayed resilience and perseverance. Despite arduous trainings, sunburns and muscle aches, the journey has been worthwhile. We learnt the importance of working together as a team, encouraging each other to push on even in the toughest of circumstances. It also taught us to give our best in everything that we do. As we leave CJC, we will continue to live out our motto, no matter where we may be.

CHOIR The Catholic Junior College Choir was first founded in 2000 and has always been committed to musical excellence. The appointment of Mr Toh Ban Sheng in 2006 saw the Choir grow from strength to strength, consistently attaining Gold awards in international competitions such as the Harmonie Festival (2011, Germany) and the 3rd International AV Choir Festival & Competition (2013, Bulgaria), to name a few. On the home front, the Choir was awarded multiple “Gold with Honours” awards and Distinctions in the Singapore Youth Festival (Arts Presentation) from 2009 to 2017.

This year, on 9 April 2018, we collaborated with Dunman Secondary School and St. Joseph’s Institution in a rousing public performance of choral music at the Singapore Conference Hall, entitled ‘Jubilate’. With eclectic and captivating performances ranging from “Psalm 42” to “Seasons of Love”, and under Mr Toh Ban Sheng’s able conducting, our performance was met with an enthusiastic and positive response from the public.

What has been more noteworthy about our journey is how the CJC Choir remains a warm and unassuming family, staying true to our College theme of Hearts Ablaze: One Flame, One Family. Each singer – prior level of experience or musicality notwithstanding – develops not only their vocal skills and musicality, but also a deep appreciation for the magic of music-making as a team. All in all, the CJC Choir, though blessed with many accolades, remains a humble home for our passionate and enthusiastic members.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our conductor, Mr Toh Ban Sheng, for the time he has dedicated to us and for his invaluable guidance that allowed us to achieve our greatest potential. We also wish to express our gratitude to our teachers-in-charge for their hard work and dedication. In the following year, we will be looking forward to perfecting our craft and doing the College proud at the SYF.

CROSS COUNTRY The main highlight of this year was the many opportunities to take part in Cross-Country competitions. As many of us did not have any running experience, this year was really an eye-opener for us as we ran competitively for the first time. These experiences gave us confidence and developed our passion for the sport. Our JC1 captain, Michelle Loo (1T31), also did CJC proud by clinching ninth individual placing in the Cougars Cross Country competition.

Throughout the course of the year, we have fostered deep and lasting friendships within our team. The main takeaway for us is that Cross-Country is not just an individual sport but a team sport, as the achievements or each member contributes to overall team rankings. Therefore, we aim to foster stronger bonds and greater cohesiveness in our team as we head towards the National School Games (‘A’ Division) next year. We will train hard and give our best as a team, hoping to do CJC proud.

DANCE CLUB CJC’s Dance Club has grown from a small group of ten dancers at its inception to a troupe of 60 passionate dancers training under Bryan Lee and Ahmad Kamil, who teach contemporary dance and hip hop respectively. This year, our dancers performed tirelessly, participating in The Royal Dance Off, an inter-school competition within the dance fraternity, and performing at college events such as the annual CJ Celebrates concert, the Teachers’ Day Celebrations, and Open House 2018. This is in addition to our involvement in the Singapore Youth Festival’s Dance Extravaganza, where we performed and also taught a self-choreographed mass dance to participants from 26 primary and secondary schools. Our strong performance as well as our passion and perseverance were evident and earned us a commendation from St Joseph’s Institution (Junior).

Besides proudly representing the college and the club in these events, we have also strengthened our skills and forged deep bonds through events such as the Dance camp held during the March holidays, and a memorable farewell evening to bid the JC2s goodbye. It has truly been a year of growth for CJC Dance.

DRAMA SOCIETY The year has been a meaningful one for CJC Drama Society as we worked valiantly towards the Singapore Youth Festival (Arts Presentation) competition in April. It was definitely an arduous journey, having to go through multiple script changes. Each time we felt like we were making progress, we were forced to retreat back to square one. Despite many setbacks, everyone remained completely committed to put up the best performance we could as one Drama family. We were rewarded for this hard labour, attaining a Certificate of Distinction for our own original play, Found You. It was a liberating moment for the Drama family, proving how hard work and passion can go a long, long way.

EDITORIAL CLUB 2018 was a year of growth and organisational development for the Editorial Club. Our team introduced creative ways to recruit new members during the Open House and CCA Bazaar and was able to recruit a large number of JC1s to join the club in February 2018. We continued our good work for the Flame newsletter and produced three issues to better our readership. In the hope that we can further propel our community stories to the forefront, we also developed an online platform, Flame+, to house our digital newsletter and increase readership of the Flame.

This year, there was also an important focus on training and development of our members as writers and aspiring journalists. We initiated an exchange with Pioneer Junior College’s (PJC) Pioneer Press and visited PJC on 2 March 2018. The session was a platform for us to exchange invaluable tips on writing, editing and curation of content. We also attended Raffles Institution’s conference, Pressing Ahead, to learn how reporting and article-writing can impact our College community.

With such focused development of our members’ skills, we also took part in the ALL IN! Young Writers Festival 2018 held at *Scape on 17 March 2018. We had the opportunity to sit in on lectures, panel discussions and workshops relating to journalistic writing. Five essays submitted by our Club for the YOUTHspeak: The Future of Writing Year 3 Competition were also published as part of the compilation for the ALL IN! Young Writers Festival 2018. The essays were written by Nur Nadiah Bte Hisham (2T01), Seow Hui Qin (2T02), Lim Howie (2T04), Clare Lai Hui Ying (1T33), and Amanda Pei Li Yan (2T27).

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE SOCIETY The Environmental Science Society is committed to raising awareness about environmental issues and advocating for change to address these issues. We champion green habits and ideas in the College by organising events to provide opportunities for all in the College to actively care for our environment.

As a result of the student-led efforts to conserve the environment and promote environmentally-friendly practices, CJC was awarded the Vanda Miss Joaquim Award in the SEC-Starhub School Green Awards 2018.

Some highlights of the year include our flagship Earth Day Programme, which was conducted for a week in April to commemorate Earth Day and promote recycling.

Consequently, the College community lent its support via a House-based used newspaper collection drive.

Separately, the Tree Planting Day initiative also saw the planting of the Sea Teak on college grounds.

In 2018, there were also concerted efforts to develop our members’ knowledge of environmental issues and passion for advocacy. Some examples include our learning journey to Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve, and participation in the ASEAN Plus Three Youth Environment Forum 2018, where local and foreign delegates discussed environmental issues that are of concern to their respective countries and how steps have been taken to mitigate the same.

With our firm belief in the need to conserve our planet for future generations, the Environmental Science Society will continue to strive to spearhead the green movement within CJC.

FENCING Fencing is a sport where the rigours of the physical body, quick reaction times and mental faculties are put to the test. CJ Fencing is the right choice for those hungry to challenge themselves. Although fencing is regarded as an individual sport, our fencers have cultivated a sense of unity and team spirit, exhibiting camaraderie and strength in their pursuits.

This year, we continued to participate in competitions and invitational events, such as mini-competitions in college and the Fencing Masters Open to hone our skills in preparation for the National School Games (‘A’ Division). We also pushed ourselves to grow closer as a team, offering support to one another to make it through challenging times. At the National Inter-school Fencing Championships, Chavez Tan (1T16) and Michelle Yeo (1T22) reached the quarterfinals for their individual events. These encouraging results motivated our fencers to strive for even better performance in future competitions.

FILM, SOUND AND VIDEO SOCIETY This year, in alignment with our College Theme, Hearts Ablaze: One Flame, One Family, we focused on providing opportunities to our members to showcase their talents.

One way was to appoint one member per school event as an Event-In-Charge to manage the movement and location of our photographers. By giving everyone a chance to take on this role, our members had platforms to hone their leadership and decision-making skills as their responsibilities included curating 10 to 15 representative photos for the College’s Flickr page and other publications.

Our reliable photographers also trained the new JC1 cohort and completed school projects such as the Student Leaders’ Photo Wall. The dedication of our members was also seen in how they selflessly volunteered for duties such as sound rehearsals that could end late after school hours. The same commitment to doing a good job was also observed in how our video team worked to present videos during events such as CJ Celebrates, Rockafella and Orientation. Through these efforts, we effectively captured the precious memories of the audience and concluded events with our videos that resonated with the CJC community.

Tok Nimoe (2T11), Fan Syong Zhi (2T16), Zhou Shude (2T22) and Ethan Loh Zhi Kai (2T28) creatively captured the essence of online scams, and their work won them the “Most Popular Photos in CJC” award in the Kampong Java Photo Competition 2017.

Through the various projects and events that we had to handle, our teamwork and organisational skills were tested, but we picked up important lessons in order to move ahead as a stronger Film, Sound and Video (FSV) crew.

FIRST AID CLUB This year has been a refreshing year filled with new opportunities for the First Aid Club, with our members organising and participating in many events. One key highlight was our participation in the First Aid Championships organised by the Singapore Red Cross on 17 March 2018. Our additional trainings paid off when we clinched the Bronze Team Award even though we were first-time participants at the Championships.

This was quickly followed by our participation in the annual Inter-Junior College First Aid Photoquiz Competition on 11 April 2018. Our members put in tremendous effort in our preparation and displayed good teamwork in supporting each other. Consequently, Gian Jamie Jana (2T19) clinched the Individual Merit Award at this competition.

As for the organisation of events, our members worked together with the Singapore Red Cross to carry out two blood donation drives. One was on 28 March 2018 and the other from 25-26 July 2018. The overwhelming support by the CJC community for the blood donation drives was very heartening.

The First Aid Club has also continuously provided first aid support at a range of college events from Orientation to Cross Country, thereby ensuring the safety of those involved in the events and the smooth running of key college programmes.

FLOORBALL 2018 has been an exciting year for CJC Floorball. We have grown extremely close as a team, striving to do our best and to support each other in our CCA and also in our studies. During the season, we showed up to support each other during our National School Games (‘A’ Division) matches. With our enthusiastic and positive attitude, our Floorball family adds to the lively spirit of the college.

Although we did not achieve a podium finish this year, we have definitely matured as a team and as individual sportsmen, and we look forward to continue making the College proud in 2019!

FOOTBALL Our CJC football team comprises 35 footballers. With a team focused on maintaining high standards, we constantly sought excellence to bring glory to both the College and ourselves. Under the tutelage and guidance of Coach Kadir, we have developed not only in our footballing ability, but also in important life lessons such as self-discipline, teamwork and resilience.

The journey started when we emerged champions in the CJC Challenge Cup. Against all odds, we triumphed against powerhouses like Anglo-Chinese Junior College and St Joseph’s Institution. This motivated us to train harder for rest of the season, with the belief that we could achieve great things working as a team.

In the 2018 National School Games (‘A’ Division), the team fought hard and displayed perseverance and sportsmanship. We learned invaluable lessons, helping us develop into better players and individuals.

GOLF Although Golf might not seem very complicated, it is actually not easy. Every shot we make on the course is only possible because of the hours of constant repetition and practice put in to perfect that same shot. This year, the team spent many hours under the sun practising and training for competition. The competition itself was also physically tiring, as we spent more than ten hours under the sun, concentrating on our game. Despite the challenges we faced, the support from the teachers helped us persevere and endeavour to do our best on the course. Although we faced tough competition from other schools, our training and effort paid off as one of us managed to clinch fourth place in the individual category, something which has not been done in a long time. Overall, we are proud to be part of the 2018 Golf team.

GUITAR ENSEMBLE On 4 February 2018, the Guitar Ensemble performed Guitarra Impresiones V, a concert held at the Esplanade Recital Studio. We also performed in the Chinese New Year Concert and other college events, and concluded our two-year journey with our performance at CJ Celebrates.

In the true spirit of our College Theme, Hearts Ablaze: One Flame, One Family, we have grown to become a family, forging invaluable bonds through our common goal of being able to showcase music unique to our collective personality. To fortify these friendships, we also organised the Guitar Camp in 2018, where each member played essential roles for various activities such as putting up a skit.

As an ensemble, we faced many challenges. Through countless sectionals and mutual support, we became more familiar with playing as one ensemble. In the end, through the efforts of every member, we managed to produce music that we are truly proud of. The Guitar Ensemble looks forward to challenging ourselves to showcase a wider variety of music next year.

Subsequently, the JC2 members organised bonding sessions to bring the ensemble closer as a team and ensured that the well-being of the JC1 members was well taken care of. The close bonds and team spirit forged were displayed during CJ Celebrates where the ensemble put up a heartfelt performance with upbeat and quality music. The performance was well-received by the audience which serves as a testament to our months of hard work and preparation. While CJ Celebrates was the ensemble’s first and last performance together as a team in 2018, the members created precious memories together that will be treasured and appreciated beyond their CJC journey.

INTERACT CLUB This year, the Interact Club’s projects were aligned with our theme, Vi Et Animo, which means ‘with heart and soul’.

Our members not only committed to weekly Community Involvement Projects with beneficiaries such as Beyond Social Services, St. Luke’s ElderCare, Asian Women’s Welfare Association (AWWA) and Society for the Aged Sick (SAS), but also went the extra mile to initiate projects that catered to our beneficiaries’ needs, such as a Chinese New Year party at SAS. Some of the highlights of 2018 include new initiatives with external organisations, such as the Autism Awareness project, where we collaborated with AWWA, and the Rings To Limbs project in partnership with the Singapore Lion’s Club. For the former, we raised awareness about autism in CJC through setting up a booth, screening interactive videos, and organising morning reflections by students who have family members with autism. For the Rings To Limbs project, we collected ring tabs via a friendly competition among CJC’s four Houses. These ring tabs will be used in Thailand to make prosthetic limbs for both humans and animals.

Other collaborations include our Share-a-Meal project with Compassion Fund, during the Lenten season to encourage the spirit of almsgiving. Boxes were placed at the CJC canteen stalls for students to donate change or the amount paid for their meal. With the support rendered by the Student Council’s Catholic Activities Wing for publicity efforts, a total of $720 was raised for families from disadvantaged backgrounds. To further support

needy families, Interact Club also continued with its tradition of running a College-wide food donation drive in collaboration with Food from the Heart.

To further engage the CJC community, we also organised fundraising events that contributed to the CJC Needy Student Fund. These include Rose to the Occasion, a Valentine’s Day fundraiser where we sold flowers and brought in a photobooth, as well as the CJC alumni sports fiesta fundraiser where we sold beverages.

Additionally, in collaboration with the Young Men’s Christian Association and a Vietnamese vendor, we conducted our annual Overseas Service Learning Programme in Ben Tre Province of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We taught children how to communicate in basic English, and also visited the locals to present them with basic necessities. In the process, we heard their stories and gained fresh insight into their lives even as they amazed us with their personality and hospitality. This inspiring experience motivates us to be more adaptable and gracious individuals.

The Interact Club is grateful for the support from the College and the community stakeholders in our service learning and fundraising projects, and we look forward to more fruitful experiences and collaborations.

JUDO For over 30 years, the CJC Judo Club has developed noteworthy Judokas. Our Judokas go through the rigorous and extensive training sessions expertly created by our experienced coaches. Through these sessions, we slowly built our endurance and mental strength, showing true commitment to push ourselves to the best of our abilities.

Our mental resilience was once again evident in our performance in the National School Games (‘A’ Division).

This year, the team put up an outstanding performance as we managed to clinch two Bronze medals. Throughout this year, our Judokas have forged strong bonds, fostered great team spirit and emerged as champions in their own ways.

MUSIC MINISTRY In the words of the Psalmist, “Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens.” These are the words in Psalm 150:1 that the CJC Music Ministry lives by in its service. The Music Ministry is a small group of students that serve the college community by playing for Masses daily as well as during official College events such as Open House, the Commencement Ceremony, Student Leaders Installation Ceremony and the Annual Awards. Despite the hustle and bustle of Junior College life, its members also make an effort to come together once in a while to share from the Scriptures and pray.

NETBALL One of the highlights for the CJC Netball team this year is reaching the quarterfinals in the National School Games (‘A’ Division). This was achieved only through putting in extra hours of training, including gruelling physical training and extra sessions during the holidays.

The team also showed our commitment by turning up for compulsory early morning jogs to build our stamina, clocking ten kilometres each week. Furthermore, we had to balance competitions with the Mid-Year examinations, which took immense effort and discipline. Though the journey was difficult, we are proud of our efforts, and our achievements would not have been possible without the support of our Netball family, including the Student Executive Committee (EXCO), our coach and teachersin-charge. The passion for the sport pushed us to do our best, and we hope that this burning passion will continue to live on in our juniors. The 2017 – 2018 Exco hopes that the team will persevere to even greater heights. All the best in the 2019 competitions, and we will be supporting you every step of the way. CJ Netball, FLAME ON!

NEXUS SOCIETY The Nexus Society is an entrepreneurship club where students learn how to set up and manage a business.

With the focus on student development, training of our JC1 and JC2 members was conducted in April 2018 in conjunction with the Singapore National Co-operative Federation, whose representatives gave a talk on the fundamentals of marketing and finance. In addition, our JC2 members participated in the SCOOP TRAIL 2018 where participants were required to travel from one pit stop to another to complete missions involving social media tasks.

Much like previous years, during our 42nd Annual General Meeting in May 2018, the new 2018/2019 Student Executive Committee was sworn in and the contract of CJC Co-operative Society’s sales personnel, Mdm Amy Oh, was renewed. However, 2018 also saw the closure of CJC Co-op Bookshop, which ceased retail operations on 23 November 2018. A fire sale, launched in Term 4, was well-received by both students and staff.

ORATORICAL SOCIETY 2018 holds much significance for the Oratorical Society.

It was the year of our inception, as two Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) – Speakers’ Ink and Political Science Society – merged to form the Oratorical Society.

We were united by the common goal of developing skilled, confident speakers who are able to articulate their thoughts and arguments cogently and with style.

During our first flagship event, the annual CCA Bazaar, we worked together and executed a very successful recruitment process, with over 90 incoming JC1 students indicating the Oratorical Society as their choice of CCA. We have also garnered numerous accolades across various debating and Model United Nations (MUN) competitions. Under the guidance of our debates coach Ms Ang Meng Leng, the debates wing participated in various prestigious debating and oratorical competitions, the most recent being the 32nd YMCA Plain English Speaking Awards where Pranav Ghosh (1T01), qualified as a finalist. Among the ten MUN conferences we have participated in over the years, we have accumulated around 25 awards. However, one of the most memorable experiences of all was our participation in the 2018 Harvard Model Congress Asia. The CJC delegation

consisted of 16 students who flew to Hong Kong to participate in this prestigious regional conference. After four days of intense debating and lobbying, we gained meaningful learning experiences and bagged seven awards, including two Best Delegate Awards for Shaun Song (2T04) and Vivek Thomas (2T10) for their work in the Historical Committee and the United Nations Human Rights Council respectively.

We look forward to a more fulfilling 2019 as our newly formed CCA forges ahead, united by a common purpose and growing from strength to strength as our members cut their teeth at various competitions and conferences.

RUGBY This year has been a challenging one for the Rugby team. As many of our teammates were new to the sport, we only had a short period of time to learn the complex rules of the game, be physically ready for the sport and be mentally prepared to face competitors with many years of experience.

In preparing for our main competition this year, the National School Games (‘A’ Division), we gained important lessons that proved to be valuable takeaways for life. Through this challenging season, the team learnt that the long road to success hinges firmly on the values of discipline, hard work and commitment. With our relative inexperience in the sport, we committed ourselves to exhausting training sessions under our coach. We went the extra mile to organise self-directed physical training sessions outside of official training days in order to strengthen ourselves further to meet the physical demands of this sport. We took every opportunity to learn as much as we can from each other, serving as each other’s pillars of support in this arduous journey.

Although the outcome of the competition may not have been favourable, our time in CJ Rugby has taught us the meaning of brotherhood. We experienced what it is like to bleed for the person next to us, to fall and pick ourselves back up again, and we truly understood that a team is only as strong as the weakest link.

SHOOTING CLUB 2018 has been a year full of new experiences and unforgettable memories. Although many of our members lacked prior experience, we have become adept and precise shooters in less than a year. We also picked up soft skills in the process, including patience, determination, and teamwork.

TEACHERS-IN-CHARGE đƫ Mr Mohamed Irfan Saidi đƫ Ms Melissa Olsen đƫ Ms Law Hui Min đƫ Mr Tan Lye Huat

We faced difficulties such as limited time and training space, but our shooters persevered and took every training session seriously. The skills we had been honing were put to the test when we participated in the National University of Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University Invitational Shoots. Likewise, at the National School Games (‘A’ Division), we fought hard against other more experienced competitors and celebrated the achievement of pistoler Terrence Heng (2T26), who reached the finals.

Despite the hectic school and competition schedules, many of our members made the effort to head down to Yishun Safra to support those who were competing, and to assist them in the management of the shooting equipment. Regardless of our placings in the competitions, our true reward is the camaraderie forged and the strong support system that we can fall back on in times of need.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY The mission of the Society of Saint Vincent De Paul (SVDP) is to serve the underprivileged by loving them, according them dignity and offering them practical aid.

This year, SVDP sought to do so via three main initiatives for two groups of people in Singapore: the elderly and migrant workers.

To quote Saint Teresa of Calcutta, there is a poverty of loneliness in developed countries. Social isolation is in fact a key factor in the increase of depression and suicide rates amongst the elderly in Singapore. Having identified this as a major cause for concern, for four years now, SVDP has brought good cheer to the elderly in the Seniors Group Home @ Pipit Road. Besides cleaning their houses, we shower them with companionship.

To strengthen our outreach, we also collaborated with youths from other schools to organise events such as My New Beginning where we spring cleaned, de-cluttered and repainted the flats of the elderly. We provided for their material needs, showing them care and concern in the process.

In addition, since 2012, SVDP has been reaching out to migrant workers and we review our programmes every year to try to enhance their impact. This year, we organised an inaugural Talent Showcase for the migrant workers. Through this project, we were humbled by the generosity of students and teachers who donated, as well as the appreciative migrant workers who were very forgiving of the technical hiccups during the Talent Showcase.

Through our service and reflective practice, we have experienced priceless joy, deepened our spirituality and broadened our perspectives!

SWIMMING In 2018, we welcomed our new JC1s. Although some of us did not have any competitive swimming background, we supported one another and relied on the help and encouragement of the JC2 seniors and our coach.

During the 2018 National School Games (‘A’ Division), six JC2s and six JC1s participated in various individual and relay events and many of us managed to improve our personal best timings. The intensive training period before the National School Games brought the team closer together as the JC1s and JC2s spent more time together, whether in or out of the water. It was not easy having to juggle the rigour of academics with training three days a week, but everyone supported and encouraged one another to persevere, thus achieving notable results at the National School Games. Our Boys 4x50m freestyle relay team comprising Ryan Lim (1T28), Chen Jun Shen (2T15), Zachary Chan (2T27) and Jefferson Yeo (2T29) did us proud by achieving fourth place in the finals. Jefferson also achieved fourth place in his individual event, the 200m backstroke. For Girls 50m breaststroke, Dayna Cheong (1T26) attained fourth place.

SYMPHONIC BAND 2018 has been an unforgettable and illuminating year for the CJC Symphonic Band (CJCSB), with a number of performances outside and within the College. On 29 March 2018, CJCSB had a memorable performance at the Esplanade’s open air theatre, performing Mazurka, Nessun Dorma, Carmen Fantasy, Jupiter Hymn, Concerto D’amore and West Side Story. Also, our trombone and horns ensemble entertained the crowds with The Nutcracker Suite.

TENNIS 2018 has been a fruitful year for the Tennis team.

Though training was tough, one highlight this year was the bonding experience we achieved through the CCA day camp during the March holidays.

At this year’s National School Games (‘A’ Division), our Boys’ team fought hard and defeated Jurong Junior College, Meridian Junior College and NUS High School, but lost narrowly to Hwa Chong Institution and Nanyang Junior College. Although we failed to qualify for the quarter-finals, it was an eye-opening experience and a valuable lesson for many of the inexperienced members of the team.

The Girls’ team defeated Yishun Junior College, Anderson Junior College and Temasek Junior College but lost narrowly to St. Andrew’s Junior College. We finished second in the first round, and qualified for the quarter-finals. where we beat National Junior College.

However, we lost a very close match to Victoria Junior College, heartbreakingly missing out on the semifinals.

Nevertheless, throughout this year, we have seen the team grow both in our skill level and in our values of resilience, passion and humility. We believe that in 2019, the Tennis team will achieve even greater heights.

TENPIN BOWLING In 2018, the Tenpin Bowling team managed to achieve many of our planned goals for the year. To instill greater competitive spirit within our team, the Exco decided to hold mini-competitions during our training sessions, in which bowlers were placed in a competition simulation. These mini-competitions trained us to be more comfortable in stressful situations, teaching us the value of teamwork and perseverance and enabling us to achieve commendable results.

At the National School Games (‘A’ Division), Lim Yi Lin (2T10), Chloe Foo (2T10) and Neo Kai Qin (2T26) achieved fifth placing in the Girls’ overall competition.

In the Singles events, Lim Yi Lin (2T10) and Benedict Paul Ong (2T26) bowled high games of 224 and 246 respectively.

This year, the team’s main takeaway was the importance of team spirit, demonstrated through the strong support that was shown. The Tenpin Bowling team aims to hold fast to the College motto of In Truth and Love, ensuring that the choices we make benefit the team as one entity.

We believe that this is a stepping stone to propel the team forward in surpassing our expectations in the future and achieve our main goal of becoming one of the seeded schools in 2019.

2018 has been an exciting year for us, starting with the Rascals Developmental Tournament from 17-18 March 2018. Despite being outpaced by opposing teams, we fought hard and took away several valuable lessons with us in the process, forging an unbreakable team spirit and fight in us in preparation for the main event of the year, the Inter-JC Ultimate Championships (IJC).

STUDENT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Captains : Tan Qi Sheng (2T14) Sam Tjong (2T29) Spirit Captain : Lee Xing Hui (2T10)

Three months after our first tournament, the team arrived at the IJC grounds stronger and better-prepared to achieve the best possible results. On the first day, poor weather coupled with an underestimation of the competition set us back in the tournament standings.

Nevertheless, with renewed resolve and determination, the team fought back hard on the second day, holding our ground and completing the tournament in twelfth place, an achievement for us. We were grateful that the team was able to display what we were truly capable of!

VOLLEYBALL The Volleyball team’s journey this year was a challenging yet meaningful one. Most of us had no prior experience in the sport and only had one year to prepare ourselves for the National School Games (‘A’ Division). However, we were eager to learn and push ourselves. As a team, we shared a common vision for us to reach new heights in the National School Games. This vision motivated us to push through strenuous trainings. At the National School Games, we fought bravely and did the College, our teachers and ourselves proud.

Beyond competitions, we formed a close-knit community of individuals whom we knew we could always rely on.

We recall the grandstand and St Joseph’s Institution (Junior) indoor sports hall as places where we built strong friendships through intensive trainings and thoughtful team talks throughout the year. The bonds we forged are the greatest takeaway throughout our journey. These relationships will last much longer than our time in CJC and to us, no other achievements could ever compare.

We could not be prouder of how far we have come.
