Truth and Love Truth Intellectual dimension- Pursuing the Truth in deepening understanding in the different disciplines of knowledge. Moral dimension- Deepening our understanding of Divine Truth and living lives that are governed by moral guidelines for the common good for all creation. Love Communal - Exercising love that is accountable, that cares, nurtures and sacrifices; a love for the common good of all. Individual- Exercising the choice to be disciplined in body, mind and spirit as an expression of love of oneself.

COLLEGE ANTHEM We are heirs of a glorious kingdom Of treasures past ages have bestowed Of the truth wisdom love and peace We rejoice to proclaim and uphold Live in Truth live in Faith and Love Let our light spread and brighten the night Let our flame warm all hearts and unite
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 the Body of Christ - the Church, alive. Christ, symbolised by the cross, animates 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.
SCHOOL SONG - BEARERS OF THE FLAME Music & Lyrics: Patrick O.L. Goh ©2019. COMPASS. All Rights Reserved
(In Veritate… et Caritate) If we believe In love for all In faith we live In truth we’re standing tall Heirs of a kingdom shining glorious Across the years Being there Awakening To breathe the air, To find our voice, to sing To spread our wings and learn to face the great unknown Truth on our side And Love to lead us home CHO:
So here we are All You’ve made Better by far For the years… ahead Thinkers with a mission, we were called to be Together, apart Leaders with a heart (Repeat CHO….) In Veritate… et Caritate (repeat X4)
Light a light within Kindle in us a flame A Truth that shines… Veritate Give to us a vision, Call to us by name Through the wind and rain Our spirit shall not wane For Love is strong… Caritate We are sons, we are daughters, Bearers of the flame

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE We look back on 2020 and 2021 with gratitude for the bountiful opportunities and achievements that CJC has been blessed with. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, our College theme “Hearts Ablaze, One Flame, One Family” continues to rally CJCians, teachers and staff in building a united college “family” in truth and in love. We are heartened by the sustained commendable performance of the Classes of 2019 and 2020 in the GCE A-Level examinations. The majority of our students gained admission to reputable institutes of higher learning locally and overseas, with a sustained number of deserving students receiving prestigious scholarships. Besides academic excellence, CJCians pushed the boundaries and strove for excellence in our respective Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs). Our Performing Arts CCAs did the College proud at the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Arts Presentation 2021, with several achieving Certificates of Distinction and Gold Awards, despite having to cope with challenges like virtual CCA practices. Our Guzheng Ensemble also clinched the Gold Award at the Nanyang International Music Competition 2021. Our Track & Field/Cross-Country team took part in a virtual race to come out 4th in the A Division Boys category, with four individual top 20 winners. Our student competitors who represented the College in Golf and Taekwondo were placed among the top four national positions. We are proud of the Drama Society for nurturing playwrights with the original scripts of two students selected for the SYF ‘Young Playwrights’ Showcase 2021. Nexus, our investment and entrepreneurship society, came in second at a nation-wide Young Entrepreneurs Challenge 2021 which is a tremendous achievement for our college’s entrepreneurial team. Our students’ success in the various CCAs is a testament of their growth mindset, resilience and passion. As part of our holistic education, many CJCians expanded their learning horizons by participating in local and overseas learning programmes and did CJC proud by winning accolades in conferences and academic competitions. Many CJCians went forth to participate in online local and overseas service learning projects, work attachments, and competitions and grew in their leadership journey. Our student leaders rallied together to enhance College identity and uplift College spirit despite Covid-19 related challenges. Due to Safe Management Measures (SMMs), class-based activities and programmes grew in scale and importance. Our Class Management Committees (CMC) rallied their classes and worked closely with the Student Council, House Leaders and Sports Leaders to

develop innovative and exciting programmes to bring the College together such as the inaugural Cross Factor Games in 2021. In 2020, our College commemorated its 45th Anniversary with a series of thanksgiving events involving current students and our alumni. The CJ45 mural project, conceptualised by Dr Felicia Low (Class of 1995), showcased our students’ creative expression of their hopes and dreams for CJC. The CJ45 college song, “Bearers of the Flame”, composed by Dr Patrick Goh (Class of 1978), celebrates the CJ spirit and our distinctive mission as the only catholic junior college in Singapore. Our 45th anniversary celebrations culminated in the CJ45 Thanksgiving Mass, which was celebrated by our former College Chaplain Fr Gregory Tan on 27 Nov 2020. In August 2021, as part of our strong culture of care, the College launched the CJCares fundraising project to support students who require financial assistance during these challenging times. The money raised will go towards the CJC Needy Students Fund. We are thankful for the strong support of our School Management Committee, CJC Alumni, Parent Support Group (PSG) in helping the scale new heights in teaching, learning and development.
parents, and the College student
This biennial celebrates the CJ spirit and identity. To CJCians of the Class of 2020 and 2021, we hope it will bring back fond memories of being a part of the CJ family. Thank you and God bless. In Veritate et Caritate Mrs Phyllis Lim Principal
CJ45 ANNIVERSARY - 2020 Catholic Junior College (CJC), founded in 1975, celebrated45 years of building generations of CJCians in truth and love in 2020. The College was first conceptualised in 1971 and the idea was brought to fruition when then Minister of Education, Dr Lee Chiaw Meng, laid the foundation stone for the building in 1974. Since 1975, more than 30,000 students have passed through her gates, ‘perched on a hill above the busy hum of Whitley Road’, and she continues to produce alumni who serve Singapore and beyond with distinction and fervour. Mrs Phyllis Lim, Principal of CJC, said, ‘over the past 45 years, we have educated thousands of committed and outstanding CJCians who live out our motto “In Truth and Love” and who have gone on to lead and serve both in Singapore and globally. Our rich history and tradition, strong ethos, and achievements have instilled in us the passion and dedication to develop a range of rigorous educational programmes that provide our students with a holistic education that illuminates the heart, mind, body and spirit. Our mission, to be Thinkers with a Mission and Leaders with a Heart, underscores our deep belief in nurturing students to be thinkers and leaders who uphold integrity and are driven by the desire to lead, serve and make a positive impact in the lives of those around them.’
Associate Professor Patrick Tseng, Chairman of CJC’s School Management Committee (2019-2021), echoes the call to rally and lead the CJC community. He adds, ‘Every student who enters the College is a valued member of the CJC family and stands to experience the unique CJC way in which we develop students holistically. The Management Committee and I are proud and privileged to work with Mrs Lim and the college to carry on the tremendous CJC tradition and to pass the flame on to future generations of CJCians.’ CJC thanks God, our Father, for His providence; our gratitude also extends to staff, students, alumni, religious priests, brothers and sisters, parents and members of the CJC community for all they have given, and continue to give, selflessly and tirelessly to take the College to where it is today.

IN LOVING MEMORY
MRS YVANGEL THIO YING YING (1961 - 2020) We mourn the passing of our former CJCian and former member of the CJC School Management Committee (SMC), Mrs Yvangel Thio Ying Ying, who passed away on 20 January 2020. Mrs Thio graduated from CJC in 1979 and was a senior partner and head of litigation with K C Partnership. She had six children with Dr Bernard Thio, who is also an alumnus of CJC. A strong advocate for couples and family life, Mrs Thio served tirelessly with the Couple Empowerment Programme and started the programme with Dr Thio in their parish. In addition to her work and responsibilities, Mrs Thio found time to contribute towards her alma mater, CJC, as an SMC member from 2007 to 2019. A staunch and passionate former member of the SMC, she promoted the deepening and growing of the Catholic ethos in CJC. Mrs Thio invited inspiring speakers from the Catholic Theological Institute of Singapore (CTIS) to share their faith and knowledge with the Catholic community here in CJC. Staying true to our college motto, Mrs Thio spoke with verity whenever it was needed and was always ready to love others, especially when faced with a difficult situation. A force of positive change, Mrs Thio sought always to give God the glory, content to labour silently and offered all in perfection.

CATHOLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE BIENNIAL 2020/2021
During her tenure as a SMC member, Mrs Thio was instrumental in the refreshing of the college crest in 2013. Not only was Mrs Thio involved in the articulation of the new college mission in 2011, she epitomised it - to be a Thinker with a Mission and a Leader with a Heart. Mrs Thio received the Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart award in 2017 in recognition of 13 years of dedicated service to the college. The CJC family will miss our shining alumnus, our loving sister with the ever-ready smile. We commend her to God, whom she strove always to be with and whose face of love she showed always.
IN LOVING MEMORY
MRS LOW SIEW NGHEE (1943 – 2020) Mrs Low Siew Nghee was a beloved teacher and Vice Principal of Catholic Junior College (CJC) and we are sad to hear of her passing. A pioneer member of staff when CJC was established in 1975, Mrs Low spent 30 years in CJC – 13 years as a teacher for Geography and General Paper, and 17 years as Vice Principal. Mrs Low retired in CJC in 2005 and is fondly remembered by students and staff.
Mrs Low Siew Nghee
Mrs Low at her retirement ceremony in 2005.
Mr Tan Jek Suan, Vice Principal, said that Mrs Low was ‘a caring and motherly figure for both staff and students. She touched many lives as an educator and will be dearly missed.’ A person who enjoyed the company of others, she kept in touch with ex-colleagues and ex-students who became her friends over the years. Mdm Indra Venkatram, HOD Economics, recounted that Mrs Low was an avid cook, who ‘loved inviting friends over to try her culinary specialties. She will always be remembered as a lady of strength and integrity.’ Mr Peter Thia, Senior Teacher (Mother Tongue Languages), shared that he considered himself lucky to have had Mrs Low as his mentor as she was able to provide a fresh perspective on the issues he was dealing with. ‘Her experiences with people allowed her to provide valuable insights into what I was facing in my department. She gave me a lot of encouragement and support as I struggled to overcome adversities in my career,’ he said.
During her tenure as Vice Principal, Mrs Low journeyed with students who had medical, financial and relational challenges. She found it most rewarding connecting with students, especially when they were touched in some way through their interactions. Mrs Low would also advise teachers to be patient and caring and in time, be able to understand some of the challenges and difficulties their students faced in school and at home. Her role models were long-serving educators. Apart from her parents, the founding principals of CJC – Bro Patrick Loh and Bro Joseph Kiely – instilled in her the highest standards of care for her charges. Believing firmly that every student can excel in life, Mrs Low would look for ways to help students do well and nurture them as they strove to succeed. Her hope also was for every CJCian, regardless of their backgrounds, to find some form of family in CJC and leave the college having forged that connection. CJCians everywhere will miss Mrs Low – an unwavering figure of support, love and care for generations of students and staff. We pray that eternal rest be granted upon Mrs Low and God’s perpetual light shine upon her.

CJC CONGRATULATES THE CLASS OF 2019 The Class of 2019 did themselves and Catholic Junior College (CJC) proud through achieving commendable results in the 2019 GCE A-Level examination. CJC continued to attain valued-added performance and commendable distinction rates in the various A-level subjects. Many students achieved their academic goals and will go on to apply for reputable universities and institutes of higher learning. Mrs Phyllis Lim, Principal of CJC, congratulated the Class of 2019 on their good results and encouraged them to forge ahead to seize new learning opportunities, expand their horizons, and continue their journey as Thinkers with a Mission and Leaders with a Heart. During the release of the results, Mrs Lim said, ‘the commendable results our Class of 2019 achieved is a culmination of two years of persistent effort and focus. You worked hard not just at the individual level but as a team at class, CCA (Co-Curricular Activity) and at the House level, helping each other to hone your strengths, overcome challenges and achieve your goals. We are proud of your growth mindset, determination and sense of mission. You were able to balance your academic, CCA, student leadership, and service learning commitments well. This
is reflective of your desire to lead and serve in truth and love.’ Mr Tan Jek Suan, Vice-Principal added, ‘our warmest congratulations to the Class of 2019 on your good results. May all of you continue to lead and serve with a positive impact on others wherever life takes you. Maintain your links with the College and CJC alumni. We welcome you back to CJC to guide and inspire your juniors and to support our various college programmes. Once a CJCian, always a CJCian!’ The College extends its heartfelt appreciation to all teachers, administrative staff, parents, the School Management Committee and the alumni for the support, guidance and encouragement of the students throughout their educational journey in CJC. May God continue to bless our Class of 2019 with wisdom and grace as they take flight as thinkers and leaders. The College congratulates and celebrates the achievements of these outstanding CJCians who exemplify the traits of a Thinker with a Mission and Leader with a Heart.
Aakash Dubey S/O Anil Kumar Aakash is an intelligent, determined, and conscientious individual. Throughout the two years he was in CJC, he applied critical thinking in his studies and consistently topped the class and cohort in many College examinations. With a strong aptitude for Mathematics and Science, it was unsurprising that he attained the A*STAR Science Award in 2018 and had it extended for 2019. His stint at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology spurred on his passion in scientific research and development where he successfully completed the Student Research Attachment Programme. Recognised by the college for his outstanding academic performance, Aakash was awarded the Archbishop Scholarship in 2018 and 2019, one of the most prestigious scholarships CJC has to offer. As the President of the Environmental Science Society, his Co-Curricular Activity, he oversaw the planning and execution of various projects and was a mentor to his juniors. With a genuine interest in environmental science, he was one of the delegates who represented Singapore at the Asean Plus Three Youth Environment Forum in 2018, organised by the National Environmental Agency. He learnt strategies to manage environmental issues such as climate change and several of his innovative ideas were well-received. Highly motivated and unassuming, Aakash has a sincere dedication to excellence that would certainly serve him well in his future endeavours, including an aspiration to pursue Computer Science.

CJC CONGRATULATES THE CLASS OF 2019 Hew Zi Heng Zi Heng is a rare gem who was able to manage his studies, co-curricular activities, and other aspects of life exceptionally well. Zi Heng exuded a great sense of intrinsic motivation and this propelled him towards academic excellence by seeking out opportunities to learn and grow whenever he could. He was the proud recipient of the Singapore Police Force (SPF) Book Prize in 2019. The SPF Book Prize is awarded to students with excellence academic results, strong leadership in their CCA and significant contributions to the community. Besides participating in numerous Model United Nations and other notable conferences since secondary school and continuing to do so at the JC level, Zi Heng also served as an emcee at school events even though this meant long rehearsals after school. As President of the Oratorical Society, Zi Heng made the effort to understand his members well and would always motivate and encourage them to perform to their maximum potential. He led his club with the firm belief that the process and people are as important as the outcome. Keen to give back to society and to seek self improvement, Zi Heng participated in an academic immersion and service learning trip to India in 2018. Zi Heng was also an active volunteer during his spare time, taking part in activities such as the Citi-YMCA Youth for Causes Programme where he gained invaluable experiences interacting with various groups in the community. Zi Heng truly internalised the growth mindset and made it his own.
Ng Le Yang, Owen Owen is a perceptive and keen learner who strives to maintain high standards in all subjects, and consistently produced work of a commendable standard. He showed his immense capacity for analytical and logical thought, raising intelligent questions in class, and seeking opportunities to learn independently. He balanced his studies with non-academic pursuits such as participating in an Outward Bound Singapore land and sea expedition, and represented the college in the National School Games for Canoeing and National Junior Canoeing Championships, where he displayed strength, resilience and sportsmanship. Owen also served his College community. With his outgoing personality and strong interpersonal skills, he was selected to be Orientation Group Leader and Assistant Faction Head for the JC1 Orientation. He was also instrumental in fostering class unity as Pastoral Care Councillor, putting his charisma and persuasive leadership to good use in order to rally the support of his class. Furthermore, Owen also showed his care for the wider community through his active participation in a class-initiated Service Learning Project focusing on children with special needs.
Yee Mon Tun Mon Tun has the grit and determination to give her best once she sets her mind on a goal.

CJC CONGRATULATES THE CLASS OF 2019 Papattarada Apithanangsiri Papattarada is a resilient and independent learner who required minimal supervision by her tutors. She possesses the mental agility to grasp and apply concepts easily and synthesise information, producing high quality work that earned her a consistent placing on the Principal’s Honour Roll for internal examinations. She also represented CJC in numerous competitions, such as the American Mathematics Competition and Singapore Mathematical Olympiad, where she won various accolades that are a testament to her keen mind. With the initiative and enthusiasm to apply her learning to authentic contexts, Papattarada took up a work attachment stint with the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Management at the National University of Singapore, where she had the opportunity to gain first-hand experiences in Data Sciences. A creative individual, Papattarada was a committed member in the college Choir. Her passion for this art form motivated her to train intensively and she represented CJC at the Singapore Youth Festival in 2019; CJC eventually clinched the Certificate of Distinction. As Section Leader, she brought out the best in her members and led by example. Her amicability and sincerity allow her to enjoy good rapport with her peers and teachers, and win their trust and support.
Joshua James Chong Well-liked by his peers, Joshua also stood out for his integrity and character. He was entrusted with the class funds as Treasurer, and his easy-going demeanour brought life and humour to the classroom. His positive influence on those around him cannot be understated; his refusal to shy away from challenges which some may deem insurmountable, and the effort to give his utmost best in whatever he does, is an inspiration to his peers and teachers alike.
Lee Weng Heng, Jon Jon pursued excellence in his studies and displayed an eagerness to explore different strategies to make his learning more effective. He made good progress and achieved a commendable standard in all his subjects, but continued to strive to outdo himself. Jon’s intellectual curiosity drove him to look beyond the GCE A-Level curriculum to learn authentically. As he is reliable and sincere, his peers looked to him for support and saw him as a role model, as evinced from him being unanimously nominated for the Edusave Character Award in 2019. Jon sought an active and balanced life in CJC, serving as the Secretary of the Environmental Science Society, his Co-Curricular Activity. In the process, he attended the Singapore Environmental Action and Leadership Programme organised by the Yale-NUS College, which challenged his assumptions about environmentalism and broadened his perspective of environmental sustainability. Besides, his compassion towards others and sense of community involvement grew in the course of his efforts to serve the wider community; he worked with the Catholic Aids Response Effort for a class-based Service Learning Project (SLP), and attended the Ignite Residential Programme held at the National University of Singapore’s University Town to pitch and present proposals that address the concerns of the stakeholders he came into contact with during his class SLP. Jon was also selected to be part of an Overseas Service Learning Project to Vietnam, where he did much heavy lifting to construct tiling for a school, on top of teaching English and Mathematics to the local children.

CJC CONGRATULATES THE CLASS OF 2019 Ronan Siah Ronan genuinely enjoys learning for its own sake; his eagerness to learn was evident in the classroom, where he drove discussions conducive for learning and frequently sought deeper understanding of issues and concepts in a crossdisciplinary manner. For instance, during the Geographical Investigation Field Trip to Kuantan, Malaysia, his efforts saw him and his group give presentations that showed the ability to make complex connections between theory and practice. Always keen to explore new learning opportunities, Ronan was accepted into the Singapore Convention on Mediation internship programme in 2019 where he served as a youth ambassador to foreign delegates, and he also participated in a competition organised by the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), the SUSS Analytics and Visualization Challenge 2019. His team emerged third in the pre-tertiary and tertiary education division. As the 2019 CJC Arts Valedictorian, his stellar academic performance was balanced with his active contributions to his community and society at large. A passionate advocate for environmental sustainability, he served as Publicity Head of his Co-Curricular Activity (CCA), Environmental Science Society, organising publicity efforts to rally support for various environmental programmes initiated by the CCA, including Earth Day events and the collaboration with the Public Utilities Board Singapore to raise awareness on water conservation issues. He was awarded the Harvard Prize Book (Singapore) 2019/20 award as a testament to his efforts to inspire others to care for the environment and volunteer in the community. Beyond school commitments, Ronan also participated in external community service programmes such as educating the children on a local heritage tour as part of the Youth Corps Singapore, and raising funds for Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Young Men’s Christian Association Flag Day. He also frequently volunteered at his secondary school as senior trainer in the National Police Cadet Corps Unit, to train and develop new cadet leaders. Overall, Ronan’s strong values and principles in life guide his decisions and actions, and he embodies the CJC ethos of mission-centred, sustainable service to the wider community.
Stacy Lee Sze Ying Stacy’s commitment to her academic studies paid off with her excellent results at the GCE A-Level examinations in 2019. The epitome of a diligent student, Stacy would set clear goals and devise detailed plans with deadlines to achieve them. This enabled her to cope with the A-Level curriculum remarkably well and her intellectual promise was further recognized when she became the only student in CJC to pursue two subjects at the H3 level. As the Vice-President of the Oratorical Society, Stacy modelled the belief of doing what she expects others to do. She set high standards for her members and put into practice her strong organizational skills. One of Stacy’s numerous accolades was being one of only two students selected from all the junior colleges in Singapore to be part of a debate panel in The Straits Times Education Forum in April 2019. A Thinker with a Mission and a Leader with a Heart, Stacy reached out to her friends and often spent her breaks revising with them, exchanging pointers and ways to improve, so as to consolidate and enhance their learning.

CJC CONGRATULATES THE CLASS OF 2019 PRANAV GHOSH Pranav approaches challenges with enthusiasm, seeing them as opportunities for learning and growth. This has no doubt contributed to his steady academic improvement. He also stood out as a confident and articulate speaker. Coupled with his passion for public speaking, he was a formidable opponent in the various competitions he participated in. In the 2018 Plain English Speaking Award competition, he was one of the top seven speakers in the nation for the relevant category. Additionally, in the 2018 Model United Nations and the 2019 Future Economic Forum, he was named Outstanding Delegate twice, and recognised for Best Diplomacy and Negotiation in the former. Pranav’s leadership ability was also honed when he stepped up as Social Welfare Officer in the Executive Committee of his Co-Curricular Activity, Oratorical Society. This was on top of his role as Sports Leader in his class. More importantly, even in the absence of a leadership role or title, Pranav applied himself meaningfully to his class’ Service Learning Project, which focused on the elderly. Though he initially faced challenges in communicating with the elderly patients as most of them spoke Mandarin, his creative use of gestures and sincerity to serve won them over. The college sends warmest congratulations to the following students on their sterling performance at the 2019 GCE A-Level examinations.

CJC CELEBRATES THE A-LEVEL RESULTS OF THE CLASS OF 2020
Top Performing Science Class of 2020, 2T32
28
Though 2020 was a year of unprecedented challenges brought about by Covid-19, the Class of 2020 did themselves and the College proud and achieved excellence at the 2020 GCE A-Level examinations. CJC continued to achieve commendable distinctions in different A-Level subjects and value-added results for our students. The College is proud to have many CJCians realising their aspirations and qualifying for institutes of higher learning both locally and overseas.
Mrs Poon Wai Chin, Vice-Principal/Academic added, ‘our heartiest congratulations to the Class of 2020 on your good results. We know that the human spirit is always stronger and more resilient than we think, and your results have proven that. The relentless desire to excel and reach out drives us to never settle for second best, but to keep going, looking out for each other as we do so. I wish you the very best in life as you continue to find ways to serve and lead with heart and passion.’
Mrs Phyllis Lim, Principal of CJC, congratulated the Class of 2020 on their good results. She said, ‘your cohort had to contend with unforeseen key challenges such as full home-based learning, but you demonstrated determination, resilience, teamwork and class spirit to overcome these challenge and achieve commendable results. We salute you for remaining steadfast in the midst of challenges and for never losing sight of your goals and aspirations’. Besides achieving good academic results, she noted that many students were able to juggle their academic, CCA, leadership and community service commitments as well as provide care and support for their classmates during challenging times. This reflected their all-round leadership development. She urged the Class of 2020 to continue learning, leading, and serving as Thinkers with a Mission and Leaders with a Heart.
The College extends its heartfelt appreciation to all teachers, administrative staff, parents, the School Management Committee and the alumni for the support, guidance and encouragement of the students throughout their educational journey in CJC. May God continue to bless our Class of 2020 with wisdom and grace as they take flight as Thinkers and Leaders and make a positive impact on society.
CATHOLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE BIENNIAL 2020/2021
The College celebrates the outstanding achievements of the following CJCians who exemplify the traits of a Thinker with a Mission and Leader with a Heart.
CJC CELEBRATES THE A-LEVEL RESULTS OF THE CLASS OF 2020 Karel Nareswara Devananda Karel has always been fascinated by language and its impact on the world, and the study of language has been an enlightening and electrifying world for him. Besides his passion for the arts, the awards Karel received in 2019 affirm his rigour of thought in both the Arts and Science subjects. These accolades include: Top Overall Performer of the JC1 cohort at the Mid-Year Examinations and Year-end Promotional Examinations, Top Performer in ELL (Mid-Year Examination and Promotional Examination) as well as Mathematics (Promotional Examination). The trust that his tutors have in Karel’s sense of responsibility and self-management is also seen in him being selected for the Overseas History Academic Trip to Vietnam in 2019 and the English REACHCambridge trip in 2020, though the latter was cancelled due to the pandemic. In 2019, he also represented CJC in ministerial talks such as the S Rajaratnam Lecture and leadership conferences such as the St. Joseph’s Institution Convention and the Catholic Education Conference. As an intuitively reflective leader, Karel thinks deeply about his contributions to the Student Council, and actively seeks opportunities for self-improvement and the improvement of the CCA. He exceeded the expectations for a Vice-President, and his influence has gained him a strong following; his peers respect him for his guidance and regard him as a role model of effective leadership.
Tan Yi Ping, Zoe Zoe is a vocal and energetic student well-suited for CJC’s talent development programme, the Ignite programme. It nurtured curiosity and a mindset of challenging conventional ways of doing things. Zoe has also developed greater independence as she frequently had to conduct self-directed research for in-class presentations. Zoe was also a member of the Guitar Ensemble, where she served as a Section Leader. Throughout her time in office, Zoe focused on building trust between members and forging meaningful relationships so that the whole ensemble could perform well together. For their efforts, the team attained a Distinction for the Singapore Youth Festival (Arts Presentation) in 2019. Zoe always took up opportunities to stretch herself and to serve others, and to this end, she joined other student activities in CJC. This includes a second Co-Curricular Activity, Music Ministry, and she also participated in planning Genesis sessions, a platform for students of CJC to remain in touch with their faith. As a Catholic, Zoe also readily volunteered in events such as volunteering at the Church of St Ignatius for Catholic Education Sunday, and helped out during the Commencement of School Year Mass. Zoe also took part in the Work Attachment and Shadowing Programme during her time at CJC, working in hospitality at Serena Spa at the Marriott Hotel. By interacting with the therapists, she observed how their work relieved stress and pain for their clients. This opportunity dovetailed with Zoe’s aspiration to pursue further education in the healthcare sector.

CJC CELEBRATES THE A-LEVEL RESULTS OF THE CLASS OF 2020 Wo Junwei, Darryl Darryl is an independent, compassionate learner who welcomes feedback and is able to think critically. He is open to criticism and is able to turn it into motivation for future self-improvement. Darryl chose the unconventional path of repeating his first year in junior college, demonstrating astute self-awareness, and this decision was pivotal in helping him achieve academic excellence. He went on to receive the Principal’s Honour Roll Award for the 2019 Mid-Year Examination and 2019 Promotional Examination. Darryl juggled his academic commitments and sporting ambitions. He was elected the Vice-Captain of CJC’s Floorball team in 2018, and he was also elected to be an Executive Committee member of another Floorball club, Blacks Salibandy. Besides his focus on self-development, he is also committed to helping others. Apart from the class Local Service Learning Project with Catholic Aids Response Effort and the National Heritage Board, he was also selected for the Overseas Service Learning Programme to Chiang Mai. He was appointed Team Welfare Head and Safety Leader for the trip due to the passion and meticulousness he demonstrated during the pre-trip group meetings. In 2020, Darryl also volunteered to be an Orientation Group Leader and he showed resilience when the programme was overhauled to adhere to new social distancing rules.
Steffi Lim En Qi Steffi is a self-directed and goal-oriented learner. Adaptable to changing circumstances, she is not easily daunted by difficulty. She keeps her targets in mind and works towards them with diligence and determination. In her Co-Curricular Activity (CCA), Tennis, she was observed to be nurturing and charitable towards her teammates, often investing her time to take care of their wellbeing. Although she did not take on an official leadership role in the CCA, she played no small part in motivating the team to give their best in training sessions and tournaments. This leadership ability was also evident in her role as Assistant Home Tutorial Councillor (AHTC) of her class. As AHTC, Steffi recognised and appreciated the strengths and contributions of her peers, and prioritized serving the needs of the class. Steffi was the leader of her class’s Local Service Learning Project in 2019. For this project, the class decided to partner with Singapore Association for Mental Health and interact with their beneficiaries to find out more about their needs. As AHTC, Steffi planned and facilitated an interactive session with the beneficiaries. She oversaw the budget, ensured effective administration, and carried out a smooth and meaningful programme. She led by example, stepping out of her comfort zone to converse with the beneficiaries and listen to their experiences of mental health challenges.

CATHOLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE BIENNIAL 2020/2021
CJC CELEBRATES THE A-LEVEL RESULTS OF THE CLASS OF 2020 Ng Him Hean Him Hean is an independent and inquisitive learner, who always asked questions in class, and willingly listened to the opinions of others with an open mind. His pursuit of excellence is shown through his academic accolades, such as the Overall Top Performer of the JC1 cohort, and the Good Progress Award from the Ministry of Education in 2019. Him Hean’s talent in the arts is most prominently seen in his ability to sustain critical analysis on an issue and negotiate complexities and ambiguities. Intrigued by what he learnt in the classroom, he often conducted further research beyond what is taught for the A-Level curriculum and found ways to apply his learning to issues in the real world. His qualification to read Economics at the H3 level is further proof of his aptitude in demonstrating original thinking and drawing intelligent connections across divergent concepts and ideas. Him Hean’s involvement in College activities foregrounds the vibrant College life he experienced. He was a member of the Modern Dance Society from 2019-2020 and served as an Orientation Group Leader (OGL) during the JC1 Orientation Programme in 2020. Being part of a Co-Curricular Activity that places a premium on performance results and perfection has trained Him Hean to be even more resilient, and to find satisfaction in pushing himself even harder than before. Such traits served him well as an OGL, when the team of OGLs was faced with the challenge of adapting to the changing demands of the programme due to new restrictions introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Ong Wei, Dillon Dillon was an Executive Committee member of his Co-Curricular Activity, Symphonic Band. A nurturing leader, he always strove to improve the band’s technical skills, and lift their morale. He has also shown growth as a confident communicator able to convey complicated ideas succinctly to his bandsmen. Joining the Symphonic Band in CJC also led to Dillon actively pursuing his passion for music; he is teaching himself to write and rearrange music, and also runs a small channel on YouTube. He feels most fulfilled knowing that his music can empower people and move them out of hard places. In addition, Dillon was part of an academic trip organised by CJC, which included an Overseas Service Learning component. With his team, he actively sought to foster relationships between the visiting delegation and the Thai children from the orphanage through extending practical help, and by pulling off a carnival that was a brand new experience for many of them. Overall, Dillon served others with an open mind and was genuinely invested in the betterment of their lives.
Jeremy Sim Wen Ze Jeremy is a hardworking young man who constantly sought to improve in his studies. He was meticulous and detailed in his work, and took pride in handing up neat and organised assignments. He managed his time well and was an independent learner. He was able to voice his opinions or raise doubts in class to facilitate his own learning and thus benefited others in the process. He likes solving problems and has an interest in how laws and theories are formulated in the Sciences. With his drive and passion for his subjects, he has potential to do well academically. Jeremy was interested in sports and community service during his time in college. As an active member of the Basketball Co-curricular Activity, he often led his peers in drills and encouraged them to try their best. He was a good team player and strove to train well to build up the strength of his team. Having a heart for the less fortunate, he joined his classmates in a Local Service Learning Project. His class organised a befriending session with the elderly at Toa Payoh Care Corner, and for which he was in the sub-committee in charge of planning and purchasing refreshments for the seniors.

CJC CELEBRATES THE A-LEVEL RESULTS OF THE CLASS OF 2020 Sim Jun Hong, Ryan True to the CJC vision, Ryan pursued excellence in learning and living. Ryan is a selfdirected learner who sought every opportunity to extend his learning beyond the classroom. With steely determination, he set clear academic goals amidst the disruption brought about by Home-Based Learning, and topped his cohort by achieving one of the highest rank points in CJC for his Continual Assessment 2 in 2020. Ryan also set a stellar example by being extremely disciplined with his training schedule for Swimming, his Co-Curricular Activity. He was also a club swimmer. He often swam at 5am before heading to school and travelled back to the swimming pool for the training at the end of a school day. Consequently, he obtained the 3rd place for individual 100m Freestyle, 4th place for Freestyle and Medley Relay, as well as 5th place for the individual 200m Freestyle at the 2019 National School Games. He also received the Singapore School Sports Council Award in 2019 and the Edusave EAGLES award in 2020, which is given to students who demonstrate leadership qualities, service to community and schools, excellence in non-academic activities, and good conduct.
Sung Yi Wen, Ella A developer at heart, Ella takes pride in her improvement and growth, as well as that which she can bring about in others. It gives her great satisfaction knowing that she helped and brought good cheer to others. During classroom discussions, she was able to pick up relevant information from good articles for Economics, contributing to a dialogic classroom. Consequently, both Ella and her peers were able to take an inter-disciplinary approach to learning, as seen from their analysis of the confluence of economic and political considerations that impinge on everyday issues. Ella’s sense of responsibility to the community and her awareness of cross cultural relations manifested in her involvement in community service. As a member of her Co-Curricular Activity, Interact Club, she participated in numerous projects, including helping out at St Luke’s ElderCare and hospitals. In doing so, she challenged herself to connect with the less fortunate and empathised with their plight. This was also the case for her class Local Service Learning Project with Bishan Home for the Intellectually Disabled where she interacted with the elderly, bringing entertainment and good cheer to many of them. Besides, her active participation in the CJC-organised Overseas Service Learning Programme 2019 in Vietnam also showed her consideration for the children in the village school; inasmuch as she shared her knowledge of English and of her culture, she also served with an open mind and learnt about their culture and experiences.
Tracy Kumala Putra Tracy takes pride in her work and her good study strategies were evinced by her consistently excellent academic results. Tracy was the overall top performer for H1 Geography both at the Mid-Year and End-of-Year Examinations in 2019, and earned a place on the Principal’s Honour Roll. In the same year, she was also awarded the Ministry of Education’s Edusave Merit Bursary and the Edusave Certificate of Academic Achievement. Tracy also actively contributed to both the College and the wider community. As part of the Film, Sound and Video Society, her photos have been featured on various College platforms and she collaborated with her peers on video projects that enlivened College life and documented important events. Additionally, Tracy also contributed to the wider community by volunteering with Schoolhouse International, donating used mattresses and toys to orphans from disadvantaged backgrounds in Indonesia.

CJC CELEBRATES THE A-LEVEL RESULTS OF THE CLASS OF 2020 Gerald Lim Da Xiang Gerald enlivened classroom discussions with questions that showed his ability to think deeply about the topic at hand. He was quick to understand complex concepts, and could apply them to novel contexts with ease. Gerald was also consistently diligent, and his tutors commended him for being a role model to his peers in this regard. Gerald served as the Assistant Home Tutorial Councillor of his class, a role which he undertook with responsibility and enthusiasm. He showed grace under pressure while leading his class to plan a Local Service Learning Project in collaboration with the Assisi Hospice. His care for his community was also seen in his choice of Co-Curricular Activity, Interact Club. Demonstrating a strong sense of empathy and consideration for disadvantaged or neglected members of the community, Gerald and his peers served the less fortunate through various projects which saw them interacting with groups including children in need, and the elderly.
Eqsha P Nair During her time in CJC, Eqsha grasped opportunities to challenge herself and broaden her thinking. She was part of the CJC Ignite Programme, a talent development programme aimed at developing critical thinkers and future-oriented leaders. Her good time management and study strategies contributed to her consistent performance at every examination. She won the Outstanding Academic Performance Award at the MidYear and Promotional Examinations in 2019. A critical thinker and articulate speaker, Eqsha also represented CJC at the Pre-U Seminar 2019, ASEAN Day Dinner 2019, and two Focus Group Discussions where she interacted with various ministers, ambassadors and directors from different ministries. Eqsha was also one of the seven students in her cohort to be awarded the English Language and Linguistics Scholarship by the Ministry of Education (MOE), a prestigious award reserved for the very best students with a passion for and flair in the English Language. She thereby secured an internship with MOE’s English Language and Literature Branch, where she displayed the ability to negotiate complexities and ambiguities in her work. Eqsha’s strength in leadership was evident in her contributions to CJC and her Co-Curricular Activity (CCA), Choir. She was a well-respected Section Leader commended by her CCA teachers for her ability to take charge of her section while making sure every member was well taken care of. Her contributions to her CCA were cited as significant in Choir’s achievement of a Certificate of Distinction at the 2019 Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation (SYF) – the highest honour at the SYF. Eqsha was also hand-picked to be an Orientation Group Leader in 2020, where she rose to every challenge and stepped out of her comfort zone to make the best out of the situation for the incoming JC1s amidst the pandemic.

CJC CELEBRATES THE A-LEVEL RESULTS OF THE CLASS OF 2020 Teow Eau Xin Eau Xin’s love for Chemistry and her dream of pursuing forensic science gave her the drive to work hard. She critically considered issues from different perspectives and this was evident from the relevant and insightful questions she posed. An independent learner, she managed her time well and was very clear about the progress she made, as well as areas for improvement. She would also actively troubleshoot problems and this was observed in her role as the Class Treasurer and Secretary in 2020; Eau Xin maintained a meticulous record of the class’ expenses, and devised a system for the collection of funds that was easy for her classmates to follow. Eau Xin was also one of the National Day Parade Commanders in 2019, and she put in hours of practice to ensure that CJC’s National Day Observance Ceremony ran smoothly. Her contributions to her community extended beyond CJC. In a class-initiated Local Service Learning Project, she volunteered at the Assisi Hospice at the Mount Alvernia Hospital. She helped to care for the critically ill patients at the ward, and interacted with the elderly through games and activities. She served with an open mind, and was considerate and empathetic towards others in the community.
Billy Muliorahardjo Billy is a disciplined, motivated, and consistent learner who puts in his best effort to achieve his goals. His critical thinking was evident in his assignments, and he submitted work that showed insight, lucidity, and clear organization. With an analytical mind, Billy was able to understand concepts well and apply them widely. To stretch his abilities, the subject he offered at H3 level was Semiconductor Physics and Devices. He also cut his teeth at the Australian Mathematics Competition and Mathematical Olympiad, developing finely-honed problem-solving skills under pressure. Though Billy did not have more hours in a day, he still managed to juggle two CoCurricular Activities. He was a dedicated member of the Volleyball team. Also, he served as the President of the Music Ministry, a key contributor to school events aligned with the College’s Catholic ethos. His leadership abilities were also recognised as he was selected to be an Orientation Group Leader in 2020, and he was designated Overall-In-Charge for the Overseas Service Learning Programme in Vietnam in 2019. Billy’ s track record for service shows that he is keenly aware of the responsibilities of being a member of the community, and to that end, participates actively in programmes that foster understanding between people from different socio-cultural and religious backgrounds.

CJC CELEBRATES THE A-LEVEL RESULTS OF THE CLASS OF 2020 Tan Shean Yin, Jolene Jolene takes pride in evaluating an issue from different perspectives, and has especial interest in Literature for its poetic exposure to critical insight on relevant issues. Jolene’s love for reading is evident in the rigour of her writing. During her time in CJC, Jolene also had a number of stretch opportunities to engage with other inquisitive minds, sharpening her global awareness and cross-cultural skills. She attended two prestigious conferences: the “Building A Society of Opportunities Together” Community Conversation and the 2019 S Rajaratnam Lecture. Jolene also actively participated in the 2019 STEP Sunburst Youth Camp with almost 150 other young people from across Asia. This week-long programme saw Jolene collaborate with delegates from 13 different countries to enrich her cultural understanding of Singapore and other parts of the world. Jolene finds great satisfaction in nurturing others and derives great joy from uplifting others. In her journey as the President of the Student Council (2019-2020), she has made tremendous effort to be worthy of her appointment. She has been an exemplary role model for seeking self-improvement, and in recognising her peers’ strengths and talents, edified them to grow into their roles and maximise their potential. Jolene’s involvement in community service provides further evidence of her consideration for others, as she goes beyond her assigned duties to give with open hands. After volunteering with her class at the Care Corner Student Care Centre (Admiralty) in 2019, she volunteered weekly with TOUCH Young Arrows to provide academic coaching and plan activities for primary school children from disadvantaged backgrounds
Pavarisa Tongboriboon Pavarisa, who prefers to be known as Net, is an avid learner who derives a sense of achievement when she is able to internalise and master different concepts and skills. Net enjoys analysing and interpreting mathematical questions in real-world contexts and took the initiative to take part in various competitions such as the Australian Mathematics Competition, Singapore Mathematical Olympiad, Singapore Mathematical Society Essay Competition, and Statistics Report Competition. Through these competitions, she has gained broad exposure and training, which engendered even greater passion for the subject. Net pursues her interests tirelessly and her intrinsic motivation to learn and excel has served her well. She was the top student overall in the 2019 Promotional Examinations, where she ranked first for all four of her H2 subjects. Not content to rest on her laurels, Net participated in the Anatomy Challenge hosted by Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine in 2019 to stretch her abilities, and thereby gained insight into the medical profession. Additionally, Net represented CJC during the 12th International Youth Forum Grand Ceremony 2020. After hearing from Nobel Prize winners and other eminent scientists, Net has her heart set on using her strengths to make significant contributions to research in the medical field.
Matthew Elmer Ken Matthew is intellectually curious and in his time in CJC, did research beyond the syllabus to explore concepts and ideas at a deeper level. His good learning attitude and ability was recognised and he was offered H3 Economics. Given his experience of learning alongside his peers with diverse backgrounds and nationalities, he also broadened his knowledge of differing perspectives and honed his ability to express his ideas clearly during lessons. Matthew was also a member of the Class Management Committee serving as the Secretary of the class. He often went beyond the scope of his duty as a scribe and administrator of the class. For instance, Matthew was a point of contact for the foreign students in the class who were staying at a hostel together. He proactively helped to troubleshoot issues and honed effective communication skills. This was also observed in his contributions to his class’ Local Service Learning Project – an innovative project to help the school community rebuild the school hostel building into a student learning hub – Matthew voluntarily presented the ideas from the class to the CJC staff as part of an analysis of needs on the ground. Matthew’s highly logical and analytical mind, humility in learning and seeking improvement, and genuine desire to serve others were some of his good attributes that demonstrated his growth as a Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart.

OUR STARS HALOGEN FOUNDATION NATIONAL YOUNG LEADER AWARD 2020 Written by Muthukumarasamy Vishal, 2T08 and Sharanya Ramesh, 2T19
There is a saying that leadership is the extraordinary ability to get extraordinary achievements from ordinary people. This is consistent with our college’s mission of developing Thinkers with a Mission, and Leaders with a Heart. Both Emma Lai Oi Yeng (2T26, Class of 2021), and Chua Ann Teng (2T05, Class of 2020), have exemplified the values of the college’s mission, leading to them being named among Halogen Foundation’s Top 50 National Young Leader Awardees in Singapore.
A LEADER WITH A VISION OF EMPOWERMENT ‘Be the change you want to see’ - I especially enjoy this quote because my purpose as a leader is to embody it. My name is Nazra Shahnaz, and I am a J2 student (2T19) from Catholic Junior College. I was nominated for the National Young Leader Award (NYLA) in March this year, and I never thought the 6-month journey would be one of the most lifechanging experiences for me. It taught me how to carry myself as a leader, about the importance of communication, how to resolve a conflict in ideas and many more attributes I now hold close to my heart in being a leader. My favourite phase of the award was the Leadership Trials. Though it was through a screen, I was able to meet many promising youth with such amazing ideas to bring to the table and this really amplified the faith I have in my peers. Through both the glory and shortfalls of my team, I was able to learn the importance of planning ahead, facilitating open communication, leveraging on the strengths of each team member to create a better outcome, and this shaped me to better prepare for the rest of my award journey and leadership opportunities to come. Meeting change-makers in a common place, finding middle ground with different inputs, and listening to the brilliant ideas everyone had helped me realise that I am not alone in my goals of creating positive change, and that leaders can better support one another through collaboration. CJC has gifted me many leadership experiences; my teachers saw promise in me and wanted to help me develop it. My tenure as President of CJC Choir greatly shaped my leadership as navigating through the restrictions of the volatile COVID-19 situation left my team and I faced with many hurdles in planning and executing Choir sessions. Through the setbacks, we were able to learn to plan and brainstorm better and as a leader, I learnt to communicate better. I found that one of a leader’s key purposes is to exude a spirit of enthusiasm and proactivity so as to keep morale and productivity up when times were tough.
When I founded Shareducation, my goal was to help bridge the gap between students who had a headstart in their studies due to having access to tuition services, and those who did not have that luxury. This came from a place of understanding as I too, found myself in a similar situation growing up. But after NYLA, I realised that my cause is so much more than that. I empower others by teaching my beneficiaries to create goals and aspirations, and that no matter how big or small they may seem, they are valid. I empower my team of 30 volunteers by allowing them to make full use of all the resources available to create a bigger impact and serve the community. For as far as my mind can reach, NYLA, Shareducation, and my leadership experiences in CJC have only taught me about my true purpose: to not just be a leader, but a servant leader. To think with a mission, and lead with a heart. To have a zest for life and a generous spirit in my leadership. I see my potential to serve, and regardless of the profession I pursue in the future, I would like to serve and change more lives. My hope for the future of youth is for more of us to find it in ourselves to step forward and build more inclusive societies. I am no perfect leader, but I am grateful that NYLA saw promise in me to do this. Above all, having the honour to be a part of something as special as NYLA sparked a period of personal growth I never knew myself and the people I work with needed — and beyond the cameras, interviews and blue pantsuits, I’m grateful for that.

OUR STARS HARVARD PRIZE BOOK The recipient of the Harvard Prize Book (Singapore) is a caring individual who has, over a sustained period of time, gone beyond the call of duty to perform acts of kindness and caring, and who may have influenced his or her peers or family members to do likewise. Ronan Siah, CJC’s 2019 Arts Valedictorian, received the Harvard Prize Book (Singapore) 2019/20 award in recognition of his altruistic spirit. A long-standing award presented since 1910, the significance of the Harvard Prize Book lies in its support for and encouragement of students with notable promise of becoming service leaders who can inspire others to authentic and sustainable acts of kindness. Ronan’s achievement affirms his dedication to volunteering with the Youth Corps, YMCA, SPCA, and to serving as senior trainer in the NPCC at his alma mater, ACS (Barker). Addressing the distinguished guests and his peers at the Harvard Prize Book ceremony, Ronan also shared about caring for the environment, a cause he is deeply passionate about. We’re so proud of Ronan, whose qualities exemplify the College’s mission – every student becoming a
Kim Yu Ling (CJC Class of 2020), received the Harvard Prize Book (Singapore) 2020/21 award. Yu Ling has been commended for pursuing her interest in healthcare as a long-term volunteer with St Luke’s ElderCare and initiating a research project under the yearlong InterHealth Innovators Programme from June 2019 to June 2020, in collaboration with the Centre for Innovation in Healthcare (National University Health Systems). Apart from submitting her work to conferences, Yu Ling’s data-driven inquiry culminated in her project team’s staunch advocacy for proper warm up exercises to stave off knee injuries.
Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart – and immensely hopeful that the lives he has touched in CJC will galvanise others to extend the culture of care beyond CJC, to our wider community.
Yu Ling has a stellar record of extending her involvement in her Co-Curricular Activity, Interact Club, and the Overseas Service Learning Programme to Chiang Mai, to additional self-sourced initiatives. Her Home Tutor experienced this firsthand when she chanced upon Yu Ling with a large bag of buns she had prepared to distribute to the migrant workers in her neighbourhood to show them that Singaporeans stand in solidarity with them during the Covid-19 pandemic. An exemplar of a CJC Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart, Yu Ling has maximised the opportunities she has to do good. Her story is a timely clarion call for such a time as this, as our commitment to service and our pandemic-stricken community is put to the test.

OUR STARS CHEMISTRY OLYMPIAD 2021
Congratulations to Loh Ming Cheng (2T08) and Wee Kiat Ming Nicholas (2T15), our Bronze medallists at the 32nd Chemistry Olympiad! This is no mean feat as the content taught was beyond the H2 Chemistry syllabus, and required rigorous application of Chemistry concepts. Both Ming Cheng and Nicholas gained much from this experience, having signed up for the Chemistry Olympiad out of love for the subject and to challenge themselves. In the process, they both found that they developed a deeper love and appreciation for Chemistry, and that the experience strengthened their grasp of the H2 subject. We are immensely proud and hope that this achievement encourages our JC1 science students to stretch themselves and deepen their learning and love for Chemistry.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT Nivetha Senthil Kumar, Class of 2019 Text by Elena Choong (1T24) and Ray Anne Ng (1T01) There is a saying, ‘the happiest people are those not getting more, but giving more.’ Volunteering is all about giving back to society, which we have received so much from. In times like these, it is through volunteer work that we learn to embrace the values of altruism and selflessness, giving hope and joy to those who need it the most. By helping others, we give them a most priceless gift - happiness. That is exactly what Nivetha d/o Senthil Kumar (2T13, Class of 2019) did. Through observing her parents, friends and people around her who shared the desire of giving back to society, Nivetha found her calling in volunteering. As someone who embraced the call of wanting to do more for others, Nivetha started her volunteering journey when she was in secondary school. After a stint as a volunteer at the Red Cross Blood Bank, she became more passionate and signed up as a docent with the National Heritage Board in 2018 while she was in Catholic Junior College (CJC). She was also a volunteer at the Residents’ Committee before she journeyed with the Radin Mas Youth Network (RMYN). As Vice President of the Interact Club in CJC, Nivetha led several activities such as spending time with the elderly at St Luke’s Elder Care once a week. The Interact Club soon intensified their activities to support the elderly more, through the ‘Grey Can Still Play Carnival’ organised by The Interact Coordinating Committee, the Rotary Club of Singapore, Youth Corps Singapore and Metropolitan YMCA. Through these experiences, Nivetha has been enriched by the invaluable knowledge from planning activities and interaction with beneficiaries from diverse backgrounds. Nivetha is grateful for her time in CJC which provided her with many opportunities for volunteering through the Interact Club. She recalls a quote from a seminar that she attended with the Interact Club: “Service is about Learning”. While it was challenging balancing school work, her Co-Curricular Activity and volunteer work, Nivetha puts in her best in all of her endeavours. She reiterated that the supportive environment in CJC as a place of learning and living made it possible for her to lead and serve in the area of volunteerism, and she has also grown to be resilient in the face of setbacks.

CATHOLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE BIENNIAL 2020/2021
As Singapore and the world battles Covid-19, it is with that same spirit of resilience, courage, and empathy that inspired Nivetha to step up and extend help to the community. As the national measures to contain the pandemic led to the postponement and cancellation of volunteer events, Nivetha realised that there were even fewer opportunities for her to serve. As a RMYN volunteer, she rose to the call of assisting the elderly and the needy during this trying period through mask distribution, hand sanitizer distribution, and temperature screenings. Together with other volunteers, she also baked cookies and distributed them to healthcare workers. Nivetha’s passion for volunteering is evident in her belief that it is a critical part of her life. As a student, she has learnt to manage her time to balance her studies and her passion. In addition, Nivetha feels a sense of fulfillment and she hopes to inspire and encourage others, especially the young, to start thinking about how they can contribute to society. She believes that it is vital to eliminate apathy and indifference, and to be proactive in learning about the needs of the less fortunate in order to be agents of change. She encourages CJCians to be open to volunteering, to not underestimate the value of one’s contribution, and also to keep an open mind in this pursuit. With this mindset, she believes that one can overcome all odds and embody the essence of being a Thinker with a Mission and Leader with a Heart.
ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT Dawn Chueh, Class of 2015 Dawn Chueh (Class of 2015) demonstrated selflessness and a keen sense of duty to the hospital that she was attached to while reading medicine in the UK. Dawn decided to stay on and continue working in the hospital instead of returning to Singapore because she knew that the hospital needed help. According to Dawn, ‘I really love this community and all our patients, each time I go to work I am filled with love and happiness! They really keep me going. After seven months of placement in this hospital, I also grew attached to the medical team here and can’t bear to leave while the hospital is so understaffed. I feel so blessed by God throughout my life and especially during this period, I’m calm and at peace despite all that’s going on because I’m assured He will protect me! There are many challenging moments but also so many daily blessings that remind me of that.
I really hope that everyone (especially current CJCians) explores and finds something they are passionate about, you can’t go wrong if you love what you do and do it wholeheartedly! I’m so thankful to have found my calling and trust me (and ask my teachers), I never expected it to be medicine! I took a gap year to explore and work, had some really rough months and some really great times. The journey is tough but it’s 100% worthwhile!’
Nathan Lim, Class of 2013, graduates from NTU with Honours (Highest Distinction) in 2020 Behind almost every success story is a testimony of sacrifice, setbacks and a radical change of direction. CJC alumnus, Nathan Lim (Class of 2013), is no stranger to that. He is a true example of a CJCian who realised his aspirations through perseverance, hard work, and tenacity. Nathan graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), and received Honours (Highest Distinction) (formerly First Class Honours) in the NTU-MSE Convocation for the Class of 2020. In CJC, Nathan served as the Vice-President of Student Activities in the 38th Student Council. Nathan learnt to juggle his duties as a student councillor with the academic rigour of the GCE A-Level curriculum. Having no prior leadership experience, Nathan found that he needed to quickly adapt to the demands of student leadership. With the support of his fellow student councillors and teachers, Nathan played a very active role in the planning of numerous major college events. These experiences shaped his values and outlook in life.
After graduating from CJC, Nathan chose to pursue his passion in renewable energy, more specifically solar energy, and applied to the School of Materials Science and Engineering at NTU. University life went well for him as he worked conscientiously in his chosen discipline. However, it was not without its challenges. Nathan faced a setback when his application for the SingaporeIndustry Scholarship (SgIS) was rejected. Yet, he did not let his disappointment demoralise him as he held on to his determination and belief that such an outlook would stop him from moving towards his goals. On his third attempt, he managed to secure the scholarship and was awarded the SgIS Mid-Term Scholarship REC Solar/SgIS in August 2019. Nathan shares that receiving his pre-university education in CJC prepared him immensely for the challenges in life through the holistic opportunities and experiences that he received. He is grateful for the strong support system provided by his subject tutors and council teachers. Nathan extends his encouragement to CJCians to continue working hard towards their goals – ‘Hindsight is 20/20, so make the time you have in CJC to be the most memorable one you’ll ever have.’

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT Dr Shaun Gerald Nathan, Class of 2007, Superhero Award in the SG Health Quality Service Awards 2021 Dr Shaun Gerald Nathan, Class of 2007, won the Superhero Award, Clinician category, in the Singapore Health Quality Service Awards 2021. This nationwide platform honours healthcare professionals who have delivered quality care and excellent service to patients. As cross-institution movement of healthcare staff was restricted to mitigate the risk of Covid-19 infection, Dr Shaun initiated telemedicine to help provide care to residents at the nursing homes, even if he could
not visit the homes physically. He also volunteered for swab operations in the homes, where he helped in the training of nursing home staff on swabbing protocols. ‘One memory that will stay with me is that of a video conference session with a patient’s family. As I watched the family comfort the patient on screen, I was reminded of the importance of face-to-face interactions in my line of work. It taught me to never take physical presence for granted,’ he said. While the past year has had its ups and downs, it showed Dr Shaun that caring for the elderly is indeed his calling. ‘The work that we do is vital and I realised that I am exactly where I am meant to be,’ shared Dr Shaun.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT Spotlight on Trail Blazer Captain Anastasia Gan (Pioneer Class of 1976) – Singapore’s first female commercial airline pilot In 1977, at age 19, the fresh junior college graduate decided to pursue a career in the army and joined the SAF’s Women Officer Cadet Course. In a collection of reflections written by the pioneer batch of students from Catholic Junior College, titled Our Footprints — Reflections in Truth and Love, she likened the nine-month course to ‘a long camping adventure’. Ms Gan graduated as the top cadet during that course and was assigned an administrative role in the SAF. But she quickly realised that she preferred a role that would take her beyond the confines of an office. When the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) began recruiting pilots a year later, she applied for a spot and was accepted. Photo credit: Capt Anastasia Gan, Singapore Women’s Hall of Fame
Ms Gan became one of a handful of women to earn the coveted RSAF pilot wings in 1979. She later became the air force’s first qualified female flying instructor. Disciplined yet nurturing, Ms Gan was given the affectionate call sign, Mama, by her fellow pilots.
After 23 years in the RSAF, the high-flyer joined SilkAir in 2001 where she rewrote Singapore’s aviation record books once again by becoming the nation’s first female commercial pilot at the age of 43. The mother of three daughters was also appointed an authorised flight examiner by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore in 2012.
Capt Gan shared her fond memories of CJC in a book specially put together by the Pioneer batch of 1975-1976 titled, Our Footprints — Reflections in Truth and Love. The following extracts are from the book. My Office in the Sky! ‘Each typical college day began with an uphill walk. Then it was daily prayers led by Bro. Patrick, CJC’s first principal, from the centre of the square, the one that is today close to CJC’s main entrance. There was a sense of excitement and spirit in the air. Every day during those months, it was a discovery that is very hard to describe or for many to understand what it meant to be a pioneer and being part of that history. As we were from mainly all Catholic schools, there was also a sense of belonging, amidst feeling lost in the new environment. As a school population, we were very involved in all activities such as the running of the school canteen to the design of the uniform, school crest and motto. This was done way before it became a norm for students to be involved in shaping the college. This was very special because it made us responsible and gave us ownership. The two years in CJC were wonderful and it went by too fast. I have learnt that in life, opportunities will present themselves to you and you must rise up to accept the challenges. I say adopt a positive outlook and go searching for what you really desire. Don’t live life with regrets of what could have been. I know most of the readers would be at the college age and still unsure of what lies ahead. Do not despair if you have not decided what career path to choose. Have faith but embrace life and seize the opportunities that come your way! I hope everyone has a fulfilling career as I have. God Bless!’

STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Leadership in the Time of Covid-19
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 of leadership (Astin & Astin, 1996) as a framework that guides us as we nurture students to develop in the domain of self > others > community. CJCians cultivate a reflective disposition and are brought through a deepening spiral of growth that helps them discover and strengthen their talents and interests (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, Education & Career Guidance, Talent 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 two 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 leaders to build team, house and community support and spirit.

CATHOLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE BIENNIAL 2020/2021
SD Curriculum CJC students attended weekly SD sessions within their home tutorial class, ethics or religious education programme groups. These sessions served as part of CJC”s holistic development programme which enables students to discover the connection between self, others and the wider community. Sessions in the programme focus 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 being open to experiences and effective effort. The lessons use circle time pedagogy to build a sense of community amongst teachers and students with the aim to build emotionally and academically resilient individuals who possess the disposition and heart of servant leaders. 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. The classroom sessions with their home tutors provided platforms for students to be challenged on their perspectives and perceptions of complex societal issues and to prepare themselves for the deliberate contemplation of making moral decisions.
STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME Religious Education Programme (REP) CJC’s Religious Education Programme (REP) adopts an inclusive approach which takes CJCians on a road of discovery of the self, community and the world – challenging them to not just be of this world, but to believe that they are an integral part of shaping it. The REP contains lessons and retreats with guided reflection that encourage students to discern their mission in community. Our REP begins in JC1 with the Orientation Retreat where freshmen get to explore their new college environment and begin an important step of discovering themselves and to build bonds with new friends. Legacy is an important part of CJC and alumni and teachers are an integral part of the retreat to orientate the JC1s into our CJC family. Our REP challenges students to grow as individuals in the service of others. We explore themes like friendship, family and the needy and world issues like poverty and human rights. By fostering both mind and spirit, we aim to help every CJCian discover their mission and the change they wish to be for the world. The REP culminates with the JC2 Retreat at the end of JC2. This retreat is a significant milestone in the lives of students in the REP as it marks the end of their time here at CJC, and provides a space for them to reflect and recollect memories and times spent in the college. Looking forward, it challenges them to live the college’s values of Truth and Love when they move out into the real world.
Pastoral Care In CJC, we value meaningful relationships and realise their importance in the overall growth and well-being of our students. Home Tutors play a pivotal role in the two-year journey of a student in CJC and it is therefore crucial for them to deepen their understanding of every student in the class at a personal level and become the trusted adult whom students can turn to for support. Developing emotional resilience in students and fostering an inclusive college community have been our key areas of focus. A strong foundation of pastoral care grounded on the Growth Mind-set undergirds different programmes that aim to provide a holistic approach in supporting students’ mental health, with meaningful and trusted relationships in college as the
pillars of their overall well-being. The Pastoral Care Councillors (PCCs) - a Student Leader in every Home Class take the lead in effective positive changes in areas of mental health, peer-support, and inclusion within the college community. The PCCs are trained on essential skills of communication and peer counselling such as - Identifying Signs of Distress, Active Listening, Empathy and Conflict Management to prepare them for facilitating meaningful conversations with their peers and to proactively offer support to anyone in need. To create a positive impact within their sphere of influence in class, PCCs engage their classmates in discussions surrounding mental health matters and skills of building emotional resilience on Friday morning BEAR sessions. It was heartening to watch the PCCs play a more active role in 2021 by initiating awareness campaigns on mental health and inclusion where they interviewed their peers to find out their understanding on depressions, anxiety as well as of individuals on the Autism Spectrum Disorder, launched informative videos to elevate the knowledge regarding these domains, and shared personal stories and reflections to evoke empathy. The campaigns were very well received and have been awarded the prestigious Silver Ribbon Mental Health Awards. To Build Emotional and Academic Resilience (BEAR) in our students, BEAR Mornings every Friday offer that opportunity to every student and Home Tutor to engage in one-to-one conversations that are designed to mirror short, simple and quick check-ins for Home Tutors to get to know their students’ needs, hopes and aspirations, and engage them in a discussion that follows the Reflective Cycle; Experience - Reflection - Action framework of our college. These frequent interactions between students and their Home Tutors outside of formal lessons aim to allow our students to feel validated, supported and confident in overcoming challenges and have a positive mindset in their pursuits in life.
National Education The National Education programmes this year saw many firsts. Our Total Defence programme was a result of a tripartite collaboration involving the College First Aid Club, Singapore Red Cross Society, as well as MOE’s Character and Citizenship Education Branch (CCEB). In response to the need to publicise the College’s Blood Donation Drive, the continual supply of blood in the National Blood Banks, as well as educating the students on how Total Defence plays an important part in this
CATHOLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE BIENNIAL 2020/2021
61
STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME context, a panel of experts in the field and volunteers was formed to engage the students raise awareness of blood donation. The lesson had also integrated the lesson objectives given by CCEB. For this effort, we are proud that we have achieved a significant increase of successful blood donations during the Blood Donation Drive this year compared to last year. Students were more aware of their role in Total Defence in this respect. The College had also integrated a virtual concert (CJ Celebrates) in the National Day Celebrations. In the spirit of supporting one another, our week-long national day celebrations included launching the project CJCares, a fundraising initiative for the College’s Needy Student Fund. As part of the yearly Senior Servant Dialogues with our College staff and students, Second Permanent Secretary of MOE Ms Lai Wei Lin engaged selected staff and students on issues pertaining to national education policies while Ambassador Mrs Mary Seet-Cheng engaged our JC1 cohort on the principles that guide Singapore’s foreign policy and Singapore’s relations with other states on a regional and global level.
Potential Development 1. Education & Career Guidance CJC’s Education & Career Guidance Programme aims to inculcate a sense of self-awareness in our students, in order for them to make informed and meaningful higher education and career choices based on their individual talents, interests and aspirations. Upon matriculation in JC1, students undergo comprehensive profiling assessments using the Skills Future Platform, as well as the Clifton Strengthsfinder Profile test, and are guided in selecting their subject combinations in consideration of their future aspirations. Over the course of their education in the college, students are also exposed to a diverse range of higher education and career pathways through programmes such as our Virtual Careers and Higher Education Fest, sharing sessions by alumni, career professionals, and university admission counsellors, the Work Attachment and Shadowing Programme, as well as the Junior College Law Programme. Personalized guidance by the college’s Education and Career Guidance counsellor is also available for all students. Our hope is to develop CJCians into active, contributing citizens who find meaning in their future pursuits. As part of the Virtual Think Careers and Higher Education Fest, the college invited representatives from a range of industries and career backgrounds to share
62
CATHOLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE BIENNIAL 2020/2021
their experiences and anecdotes on their personal and professional development with our students. To cater to the diverse higher education interests of our students, admissions officers from 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) also introduced our students and their parents to the scholarships, programmes and facilities offered by the universities, as well as current developments in the higher education landscape. A highlight of the Education & Career Guidance Programme is our Work Attachment and Shadowing Programme (WASP), which provides JC1 students with opportunities to hone important soft skills required at the workplace. With the support of our industry partners, alumni, as well as Parent Support Group, the college offered a diverse range of internships and attachment programmes, allowing for learning across different industries and job scopes. To prepare for this experience, our students attended a StrengthsBased Career Development Workshop, guiding them to make informed choices of their career pathways in consideration of their unique talents and dispositions. Workshops covering key Education and Career Guidance skill sets including resume writing, interview skills, as well as workplace etiquette and expectations were also provided for students under the Work Attachment and Shadowing Programme. Through the Education and Career Guidance experience, the college seeks to boost our students’ readiness for the future, by effective planning and preparation for their higher education and career choices. 1. Talent Development The Talent Development Programme challenges students to explore beyond the classroom setting, and develop themselves in the areas of: Global Perspective, Real-World Readiness, Servant-Leadership, Scholarship Application Support, and Personal Charting. Through building their personal portfolio, they will set their own goals and be inspired to pursue scholarship opportunities. The programme incorporates independent enquiry and experiential learning to prepare these students for a future of complexity, ambiguity and volatility.
STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME With the support of our ECG counsellor, students participated in specially designed workshops on portfolio management, scholarships, and structured career-counselling. They also participated in forums organised by our external partners, such as the ASEANItaly Youth Conference in March, and the Youth Dialogue with Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam in July. These were invaluable platforms that offered our students insight into national, and international issues. Students interested in working with the elderly and healthcare professionals also embarked on the Trigen Attachment Programme, where they worked in small groups to assist in engaging the elderly in healthcare matters. The Talent Development Programme provides platforms for students to chart their own paths of excellence, and to put their talents to the service of the community.
Leadership Development Leadership development permeates across all students at various tiers – Home Tutorial Groups (Class Management Committee), Co-Curricular Activities and within the House System and Student Council. Training and mentorship is provided to help all students to grow as Thinkers with a Mission, Leaders with a Heart. These platforms include Class Management Committee (CMC) Training Sessions, Leadership Training Camp and the Leadership Conference. The Student Leadership Challenge (Kouzes & Posner) undergirds the various leadership training approaches. Class Management Committee (CMC) Training Sessions The CMC Training Sessions across the year provided opportunities for the CMC leaders to discover their leadership style and to craft their personal vision in their leadership journey. In light of the covid-19 situation, sessions are structured into core (asynchronous on SLS) and elective (synchronous on Zoom) modules where the CMC leaders are trained in leadership and rolespecific skills. 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.
JC1 Leadership Training Camp (LTC)
JC2 Leadership Conference (LC)
JC1 Leadership Training Camp (LTC) - 28 and 29 May 2021 With the theme “To-Gather. For Better.”, we continue our partnership with Halogen Foundation, a renowned leadership training organization in Singapore, to put together a meaningful virtual program to enable participants to yield learning points that will enrich them in their leadership journey. It is also precisely in this endeavour that the team rose above challenges and modelled the way to lead with adaptability so as to make the best out of current circumstances. The camp was guided by teacher and Halogen facilitators in an experiential learning approach where participants will engage in team-based challenges before processing it through a series of reflections. 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, both past and present – for a better future. JC2 Leadership Conference (LC) - 7 July 2021 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. The theme of LC was “Leading through Uncertainty: A Legacy of Tenacity” this year where as a college that emphasizes the need to dream, dare, and do, we support and encourage our student leaders in this next lap of their leadership journey, to push through new frontiers and create a better future for us all, despite all

STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME odds. The outgoing batch of student leaders also had the opportunity to gather and reflect on their journey of growth and close their leadership stint in our college as their JC1 juniors picked up the baton from their good hands. It is also a college-wide platform for teachers to affirm them for their good work and growth they have made during their journey with us. 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’.
interact with both the Volunteer Welfare Organisations (VWOs) and the beneficiaries through learning journeys, and document stories of individuals. This human-centred approach aims to help students understand these communities and their strengths, rather than to approach service learning as an act of tokenistic charity. Following this, through structured SD lessons, Home Tutors guide students in reflection, providing a space for students to make sense of their role in the community and apply their academic knowledge in a real-world context.
Local Service Learning Programme
2020 and 2021 shone a spotlight on the importance of the role of civil society organisations in helping disadvantaged groups through the Covid-19 pandemic. Led by their class student leaders, students worked within Safe Management Measures to interact with their partner communities, such as through video conferencing and extended emails. Although they were unable to meet these communities in person, students harnessed the use of ICT to initiate creative projects, conceptualizing and running workshops for their beneficiaries. There were also collaborations with VWOs to run workshops for the public on mental health (e.g. Care Corner X CJC), and advocacy projects that leveraged on social media platforms (e.g. Singapore Association of Mental Health). These experiences provided students with the opportunity to think critically about the evolving needs of communities, and the space to explore creative means to support them.
The Local Service Learning Programme (LSLP) is a key programme for all JC1 students in CJC. It aims to develop in students an understanding of their communities and critical perspectives on the role of civil society in Singapore, and inspire a sense of mission and purpose. The pillars of experiential learning and ethnographic studies are coupled with Home Tutor guided Student Development (SD) Lessons to help students examine and reflect on the political, social, and economic landscape that the beneficiary communities reside in. In the early stages of the programme, students encounter their beneficiary communities before embarking on any project planning. The beneficiaries that students work with include the elderly, persons with special needs, families in difficult situations, and the terminally ill. They

STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME In 2021, as part of the Ignite LSLP, Ignite students collaborated with Greenology, a company specialising in green intelligence and horticultural therapy, to explore how such approaches can support Dementia caregiving at APEX Harmony Lodge. In the process, they were challenged to apply their academic learning and critical reasoning, in designing solutions that were usercentric and beneficial for the residents. Moving forward, the LSLP continues to provide opportunities for more students to extend academic learning into service applications, so that CJC students can become “Thinkers with a mission, Leaders with a heart”.
OSLP In 2020, CJC held its first ever virtual OSLP with a school from Udong, Cambodia. Conducted over four sessions, the students embarked on various collaborations, seeking to overcome geographical barriers with the aid of technology. This inaugural OSLP was a blend of synchronous, and asynchronous learning, with students learning about the history and culture of Cambodia by way of a guided video, followed by interaction with the Cambodian students. Our students taught the Cambodian children simple English, and introduced them to SIngapore’s landmarks and unique culture. In return, they learnt from their new-found friends how to weave traditional Cambodian crafts, using pandan leaves. The online OSLP culminated in the production of Tiktok videos featuring our students and their Cambodian counterparts. The short clips were thoughtfully spliced to showcase their daily lives—how they are different, yet at the same time, similar in many ways. This was a meaningful representation of how, at the end of the day, we are more alike than we know. In 2021, our students worked with Soap Cycling Singapore to learn about the benefits of scraping, and saving bar soap. They conceptualised and implemented their own soap donation drive in school, and processed the donated soap to donate to needy beneficiaries. Their work extended beyond Singapore, with the students collaborating with youths from Soap Cycling Philippines to conduct a goody bag distribution in Ilo Ilo. Through this collaboration, our students not only learnt about the role of youth action there, but also engaged in rich discussions that deepened their understanding of civil society in both communities.

Although the constraints of online interaction means that the local and foreign teams have to venture into unknown territory, all participants displayed a gung ho attitude, and tried their best to overcome difficulties with their can-do attitude.

CJC IGNITE PROGRAMME The CJC Ignite Programme seeks to develop critical and creative thinkers with social consciousness. Primarily, this is achieved through integral learning, inviting students to make connections across disparate fields and topics of learning. This interdisciplinary approach lends itself naturally to inquiry-led, concept-based, and problem-solving learning approaches, challenging students to be active and inquisitive learners. The programme is anchored in pedagogically-driven lessons aimed at achieving these outcomes, and augmented by milestone programmes (the Ignite LSLP, Symposium, and Conference), which provide experiential and authentic learning opportunities and allow Ignite students to apply and showcase their growth in the Programme. The Ignite Programme is offered to students selected for their academic potential and dispositional fit to the Programme’s objectives.

CATHOLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE BIENNIAL 2020/2021
In the classroom, students are challenged to think beyond the syllabus, to engage with their learning conceptually, and to form inter- and intra-disciplinary connections. Students are encouraged to question actively and challenged to take the lead in their learning. 2021 also saw the pilot run of experimental interdisciplinary lessons, such as the application of Game Theory (from Economics) to the dramatic motif of games (in Literature). As pedagogical experimentation continues, students can look forward to more such lessons. Beyond the classroom, students are given regular opportunities to encounter interdisciplinary learning in a real-world context. In the 2020 Ignite Conference, for example, students explored the theme, “Sustainable Development: Closing the Gap”. This was an invitation to examine macro-themes in economic, social, and environmental sustainability; consider the needs of
CJC IGNITE PROGRAMME hidden communities; and evaluate priorities in decisionmaking. And they were not alone in the experience. We were fortunate to have the participation of industry leaders like Mr Veera Sekaran of Greenology and Mr Alexius Yeo of Carbon Inq, along with academics like Ms Melissa Low and Dr Tan Lai Yong from the National University of Singapore, and Dr Gillian Koh from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. Their authentic and expert sharing grounded students’ reflections and presentations. Continuing the momentum of interdisciplinary learning, the 2021 Ignite LSLP and Ignite Symposium explored the question of what it means to age well in Singapore’s Context. In collaboration with Greenology, Ignite students explored how to bring Green Intelligence and Horticultural Therapy to bear upon Dementia caregiving. Building on that experience, they explored user-centric design principles for the elderly, in the Ignite Symposium, in partnership with NUS’s School
of Continuing and Lifelong Learning (SCALE). Guided by Dr Kuan Yee Han, they critically assessed assistive technology for the aged, considering physiological, social, and emotional aspects of ageing. Ignite students also had the chance to explore their artistic side, participating in an online art discussion facilitated by National Gallery Singapore, focusing on the theme of “Art and the World”, and in the Singapore International Film Festival, where they had an exclusive viewing of local short films and engaged in cinematic discussion with the filmmakers themselves. The challenges of the latter years are well-known. In adapting to the disruptions and restrictions of the pandemic, the Ignite Programme resists stagnation, and embraces the notion that learning can occur in various inventive forms. It continues to evolve; much more awaits.

CJC IGNITE PROGRAMME Food Future / Future Food In a world where food, economics, and ethics seem inseparable concerns, perhaps questions like “How do we eat?” or “What can we eat?” are harder to answer than ever before. This year’s Ignite Conference set our students on the task, taking them on an interdisciplinary adventure exploring food issues and sustainability. With the theme “Food Future / Future Food”, the conference saw students tasting, experiencing and sharing local and global perspectives through a blend of online and in-person modes. A highlight for many was the virtual learning journeys that students embarked on with six local companies that are committed to our nation’s food sustainability goals. Seeing insect

waste being turned into batteries and touring an urban hydroponics farm certainly inspired students to see hope in our food future. The students’ learning culminated in a lively and reflective dialogue with Mr Alexius Yeo, CJC alumnus and founder of Singaporebased social enterprise, Carbon InQ. A strong advocate of Permaculture and urban farming, Mr Yeo encouraged students to be active and enthusiastic in pursuing their environmental passions, assuring them that “when you look at a problem in a different light, you will usually find different solutions”. Seeing the engagement and investment in our food future was truly energising and promising for all involved!

2020 was nothing if not a challenging yet incredibly meaningful year for the 46th Student Council. The pandemic had caused many of our events to be changed drastically. Despite this, we still worked tirelessly on our plans. The year started with a new initiative, the inaugural CJ Hunger Games, a series of fun games to welcome back the JC2 cohort. We designed our own scaled-down version of CJ online Open House, and also introduced the JC1s to our faith with “Inspiring the Heart” week. Orientation 2021 was themed Kairos, meaning a critical or opportune moment, to represent the opportunity the JC1s have in joining our CJ family. We also led in the running of various other school activities, including the implementation of Energizer Week to boost students’ morale, the launch of the CJ Mailbox, our revamped feedback portal, and Easter and Lenten Projects to strengthen our College’s spirituality. The 46th Student Council has been proud to serve the College and eagerly looks forward to the 47th Student Council carrying on this flame, to burn brighter than ever before.

Our CJC Experience
OPEN HOUSE 2020
14 January 2020
Open House on 14 January 2020 saw our community out in full force. Our students pulled their weight staging performances, co-leading micro-lessons, and more importantly, serving as ambassadors of CJC whilst interacting with our visitors as tour guides as well as CCA and stretch programme representatives. Showcasing the vibrant, student-led College life that is the hallmark of the CJC brand of education, our students testified to their experience of holistic education in CJC, the subject of the informative Principal’s Talks. Microlessons and subject consultations were conducted by our experienced tutors and School Leaders.

CATHOLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE BIENNIAL 2020/2021
Our College community was also supported by the generous contributions of our active alumni and Parent Support Group; making time to be present and converse with our visitors, they enlivened the atmosphere and lent credence to the College’s ethos of family. As we were once again reminded of our reasons why CJC is home, we were affirmed by our experiences of those new to the CJC family discovering their own reasons for making CJC the premier choice.
CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION 2020
24 January 2020
The CJ family ushered in the Lunar New Year with a roaring lion dance performance that symbolised the heralding of good fortune 2020. Students, teachers and staff came together for the lo-hei, tossing the yusheng up high to express our aspirations and hopes for the year ahead. Just as many of us do spring-cleaning for our own homes, students also cleaned their home tutorial rooms to keep the space spick and span for the new year. The J2 seniors also prepared a meaningful gift to welcome the J1s into the family.
The lion dance, traditionally performed to chase away bad luck and usher in blessings for the new year, appealing for and catching our attention.
Our VPs (L-R): Mrs Poon Wai Chin, Mr Tan Jek Suan and Mr Allan Gan participate in the finale of the lion dance performance to wish the College community a very Blessed CNY!
Likewise, the Humanities department here shows the teachers enjoying one another’s company in the festive atmosphere.
Our J2 seniors prepared gifts per class for our incoming J1s, in the spirit of CNY and gathering as a family.
In their Houses, our students enthusiastically prepared and tossed the lo-hei.
Spring cleaning is all about the details!

JC2 PARENTS INFO EVENING
Mrs Poon Wai Chin, Vice-Principal, addressing the parents.
The College warmly welcomed the parents of our JC2s on 30 and 31 Jan 2020 during the Parents’ Information Evening (PIE). As building valued partnerships with parents has long been viewed as critical to our students’ success, the JC2 PIE was held to facilitate timely communication early in the A-Level year and enhance the preparedness of parents and students alike. Addressing the JC2 cohort and their parents, VicePrincipal Mrs Poon Wai Chin spoke about how a student’s learning disposition and strength of character – and the

positive impact these consequently have on academic achievement – ensures that the student is well-placed for entry into his or her choice of university and university course. With greater clarity on the end goal shared by parents, our JC2s, and the College, Mrs Poon appealed for their full support as the College has put into place extensive support structures for our JC2s at this pivotal stage of their education, including Education and Career Guidance counselling, routines for exam preparedness, and intensive revision plans targeted to the needs of our students. Thereafter, Mr Siva Krishnasamy, Parent Support Group (PSG) Chairperson, took to the stage to urge parents to take action and join existing PSG efforts such as preparing snacks for Night Study sessions, a Collegeinitiative for independent study leading up to major internal examinations. The parents were then ushered to the respective homerooms where they met with their child’s Home Tutor for conversations relating to the specific needs of each class or student. PIE is a timely reminder of the important tripartite alliance between parents, students, and the College.
5 to 11 February 2020
Matriculation Week is upon us! Our JC1s are in the thick of the action as they transition from OG groups to their home tutorial classes, from games and teambonding to briefings and tutorials. And further changes are afoot as they rack their brains to decide on their subject combination or choose between other academic programmes and opportunities. Whether they feel at home already or need more time to adjust, here’s a #throwback to Inspira! Orientation 2020; we’re convinced they’ll bring some of that positivity and spunk we saw then to their Matric Week experience.

The JC1 students officially began their journey as part of the CJ family on Tuesday, 25th Feb 2020, with a warm and meaningful welcome from their JC2 seniors. Despite some necessary adjustments this year due to Covid-19, our JC1s had a memorable Commencement Ceremony in their classrooms, where they bonded with their senior buddy classes, and learnt about the significance of the CJ flame. Our JC2 seniors personally put the pins on their JC1 juniors. With that symbolic gesture, our JC2s conveyed their (and the College community’s) well-wishes to the newest members of the CJ family, and formally welcomed the freshmen into our midst!

Every year, the students and staff of Catholic Junior College come together to appreciate the service rendered to the college by JC2 Student Leaders. This year’s ceremony stood out for its unique form in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. The proceedings for the Appreciation Ceremony and Leadership Conference took place within classrooms for the first time in the College’s history. The ceremony began with an address by our Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim, through a video presentation. Mrs Lim expressed her gratitude to the JC2 student leaders for their dedicated leadership and service, and the hope that they will continue to grow and develop after leaving the college. In addition, she praised the student leaders for their adaptability and ability to balance their responsibilities and academic life amidst the uncertainty caused by the pandemic. Following this was a keynote address by our Guest of Honour, Mr Darrell Low from the Class of 1998. He spoke about his own leadership experience in CJC as a student councillor, where he learnt valuable lessons in being adaptable to unexpected situations whilst carrying out his duties. These experiences developed his leadership skills and he highly values a collaborative style of leadership. He spoke about the importance of respect and dignity in leading other in his line of work. Jolene Tan, the 45th Student Council President, shared about her leadership journey as well. She emphasised the value of teamwork and service throughout her time as President of the Student Council. Jolene shared that the Covid-19 situation has made her and her team more appreciative and not take things for granted.

J2 GRADUATION CEREMONY “Hearts Ablaze – One Flame One Family” Although the circumstances in which the JC2s graduated from Catholic Junior College (CJC) were quite different from how they experienced Orientation in 2019, our students and staff rose to the occasion and marked a meaningful and at times, poignant, ceremony for the graduating cohort on 9 October 2020. The theme for the ceremony, ‘Hearts Ablaze – One Flame One Family’, served as a reminder for the graduands to draw upon their strengths and growth mindset to forge a future as CJCians. The day’s celebrations kicked off with students sharing heartfelt messages to affirm and thank their classmates and tutors for being part of their JC journey, and the reflective moment segued to the video montage featuring the Class of 2020 from the moment they reported to college in 2019, to bidding a fond farewell to the college. The montage is an annual project thoughtfully put together by the Film, Sound, and Video Society and is a labour of love for the college, as were the class creation showcases put together with contributions from every JC 2 class. Mrs Phyllis Lim, Principal, CJC, acknowledged the challenging times we are in and exhorted the cohort to use their collective strengths and leadership experiences to pull themselves and each other through and stand united as one CJC Family. In fact, every member of the college has rallied round to support each other – staff and student alike – through these uncertain and anxious times, often going over and beyond what we thought we were able to do, to walk an extra mile with each other. These bonds and precious memories encourage every CJCian to be Thinkers with a Mission, and Leaders with a Heart. Building upon Mrs Lim’s message to serve others and to make society a better place, the Guest-of-Honour and alumnus for this year’s Graduation Ceremony, Dr Reuben Ng (Class of 1999), spoke of the need to remain aware of social issues and to ‘stay woke’. Dr Ng also shared about the importance of knowing one’s purpose in life as he himself took some time to discern his own purpose. Set against the backdrop of an ageing population and a longer lifespan in Singapore and in many countries, Dr Ng introduced ‘YOLO+’ to our students - a concept to live life meaningfully, delay gratification by working hard when young, and to enjoy the fruits of our labour later as we chart the uncertain waters ahead. The valedictorians representing the Arts and Science cohorts respectively, Jolene Tan (2T05) and Nyan Lin Htet (2T32), have a deep passion for learning and radiate positivity in the face of challenges. Their

excellent academic and co-curricular achievements often serve as inspiration and encouragement to their peers, and their steadfast commitment to serve the community demonstrates the values and Catholic ethos of our college. Following the speeches made by the valedictorians, the prize for Most Outstanding Contribution from a home class was presented to 2T25 by Mrs Poon Wai Chin, our Vice Principal Academic. 2T32 won the prize for Most Outstanding Home Class, a prize that recognises the outstanding academic achievements and overall holistic development – a hallmark of the CJC educational experience, of a JC2 class. Mrs Phyllis Lim, Principal, presented the prize to the Most Outstanding Home Class, 2T32. After the presentation of prizes and cohort gifts, the ceremony entered an important segment that is rich with symbolism and heritage. Father Gregory Tan, College Chaplain, led the prayer service with the intercessory prayers, read by various members of the CJC Family, offered to God, our Heavenly Father. The Home Tutors then pinned the CJC graduation college pins for each student, affirming them with words of encouragement and advice as they reach for their dreams. Another special gift that was given to each JC2 student was the handwritten congratulatory notes from the JC1 cohort, twined around candles. And the flame that was passed to each student was a clarion call to be Bearers of the Flame – bearers of all the values and beliefs that CJC stands for. The Flame, representing the Holy Spirit, guides each CJCian as they strive for their dreams and be leaders with a heart. Voices of all CJCians resounded through the corridors as we marked the end of the ceremony with the closing hymn, We are Called, and the college anthem, pledging to keep the Flame burning brightly wherever we go.
J1 END OF YEAR CEREMONY
29 October 2020
Written by Andrea Lim, 1T03; Elyse Ang, 1T05; and Elena Choong, 1T24
On 29 October 2020, Catholic Junior College (CJC) commemorated its annual JC1 Thanksgiving Ceremony in the students’ respective homerooms virtually, due to Safe Management Measures emplaced for Covid-19. The day began with students penning down their reflections for the year and words of affirmation to their future selves. These letters were then collected for safekeeping and will be returned to students at their graduation next year. This is a long-standing tradition of the College - one that guides students to be selfaware, to reflect and look inward, and set tangible commitments for growth. This personal developmental process is one that characterises the CJC experience. Our Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim, opened the ceremony by giving thanks to God, reflecting on the milestones of the academic year with events such as the CJ Food Drive by the JC1 GROW students, Racial Harmony Day, and the collective contributions of the CJ Family for the CJ45 mural. She emphasised that though Covid-19 had brought forth many challenges, the College has shown its resilient spirit in overcoming the hurdles as one CJ Family. Mrs Lim commended the innovative ways in which the JC1 cohort executed their Local Service Learning Projects (LSLP) this year. 1T11, in particular, was awarded the ‘Most Innovative LSLP’ prize while 1T21 earned a special mention for their resourcefulness in implementing their mental health fundraising campaign with Calvary Community Care. Father Gregory Tan, our College Chaplain, led the college in prayer, highlighting the importance of moral support and gratitude. Following which, our 46th Student Council President, Eli Adam Stewart, 1T07, presented a token of appreciation to Mdm Yvette Yeow, a member of the Parents Support Group (PSG), to express gratitude for their encouragement and support. Eli, and Maria Josephine Orell, 1T03, the House Captain of Albert House, also shared their reflections for the year. A commemorative video montage created by the Film, Sound and Video (FSV) Society brought the ceremony to a close, serving once again as a poignant visual reminder of the year’s events, leaving both the JC1s and their teachers reflective and grateful for the academic year that had passed.

J1 COMMENCEMENT
22 February 2021
On Monday, 22 February 2021, CJC welcomed the JC1 students into the fold at our Commencement Ceremony. Father Gregory Tan, our College Chaplain, celebrated the occasion and blessed the pins which were then given to the JC1 students: a symbolic act of passing the flame to the next generation of CJCians. Each class was gifted with stationery and messages of encouragement from their seniors to help them navigate this new chapter in their lives.
CROSS FACTOR GAMES
12 March 2021
Our journey as a school community has been challenged with the onset of Covid-19. It took away a full year of meaningful activities that we can partake together, especially the sporting activities that students look forward to as a means to have fun with their friends and create memories to last their lifetime as a CJCian. This year, the House Vice-Captains and their team of Sports Leaders took on the challenge to whip up a sporting event, within Safe Management Measures of Phase 3, as they sought a sense of normalcy and craft memories to take with them moving forward. The inaugural Cross Factor Games comprised four components to maximize participation for all students with Safe Management Measures; CrossGrit - a simpler adaptation of CrossFit and a way to introduce functional fitness to students, CrossSports - a time-based competition that focuses purely on sports skills to win points for the house, CrossMove - a live-stream follow along dance workout and competition in class for all other students to get moving and, CrossWit - an in-class cognitive task challenge that aims to bring the classmates together to win accolades, for themselves and for the house.

What would happen if characters from different time periods and literary worlds were to collide in the 21st century? What if the women in our Literature texts had their own reality TV show? How might we trace the treatment of the Künstlerroman across a Shakespearean play, a modernist novel, and an absurdist play? These questions were explored in the creative works of 10 Literature students at CJC’s inaugural Litera, an online literary mixed-media festival that challenged our students to engage creatively and critically with their A-Level texts. Over a few months, our students, with the guidance of their teachers, experimented with a wide range of art forms and platforms to encapsulate the festival’s theme, ‘Interlinked’, a state of being that is inseparable from our current reality.

NATIONAL DAY
6 August 2021
CJ’s getting into the spirit of celebrating the nation’s 56th birthday! By far, the most common theme in our birthday wishes for Singapore was for us to get involved, to make the future together. For a start, we’ve made the most of this festive occasion to do good with CJCares, a fundraiser for the CJC Needy Students Fund. We hope you joined us to make our caring society go from strength to strength! We thank our teachers, staff, and all of you, including our stable of talented Performing Arts CCAs, Aesthetic Leaders, and the 47th Student Council, for making this a National Day Celebration with heart. It was not too long ago that some of you reached the close of your CCA and leadership journey in CJ, but your participation and support remind us that our J1s have such big shoes to fill. And if our J1s’ efforts this round are any indication, we can have high hopes for them in time to come!
JC2 RETREAT: ARISE!
1 October 2021
On 1 Oct, the JC2 Retreat: Arise! was held on Zoom. In spite of concerns about Zoom fatigue, we were heartened that close to 40% of the Religious Education Programme cohort attended the retreat and it was an experience where both students and teachers left feeling more rejuvenated. Students’ heartfelt gratitude for the time and space to rest, reflect and recharge was evident in the retreat’s final affirmation activity.

J2 GRADUATION CEREMONY
8 Oct 2021
Hearts Ablaze – Dream, Believe, Achieve The JC2 Graduation Ceremony on 8 October 2021 was a fitting close to the two-year journey of our Class of 2021. Our Principal, Mrs Phyllis Lim, first charted the cohort’s growth and key milestones of their CJC journey, celebrating their achievements and resilience that truly exemplify them as Thinkers with a Mission, and Leaders with a Heart. As the Class of 2021’s legacy in CJC is well-established, we also looked forward, with a timely sharing by the Guest-of-Honour, and CJC alumnus, Mr Ivan Yeo (Class of 1997) about navigating uncertainty and fulfilling one’s purpose in life. Various award presentations followed, including the results of the CJC Pageant. With their campaign run having been heralded by the @cj.flameon Instagram account, they were greeted with much applause as they gamely engaged in mini-games and a catwalk. In a shower of supportive cheers and confetti, the winners of the pageant, Deepa Pushpanathan (2T07) and Clive Braberry (2T11), were announced. The celebratory atmosphere of the ceremony continued with the announcement of the valedictorians representing the Arts and Science faculties. The valedictorian speeches by Judith Tan (2T03) and Nicholas Wee (2T15) highlighted the strength and tenacity of the cohort, seen in them rising up to meet many challenges during these past two years with the
86
CATHOLIC JUNIOR COLLEGE BIENNIAL 2020/2021
support of their CJC communities. Thereafter, 2T15 was awarded the prize for Most Outstanding Contribution, and 2T11 won the prize for Most Outstanding Home Class, in recognition of their exemplary class culture, overall academic excellence, and contributions to CJC. In a surprising twist, a lovely video montage created by the Family@CJC Parents Support Group was also screened. We sincerely thank them for taking the time to wish our students well in this final lap of the A-Level marathon, and rest be assured that such warm words of encouragement are edifying for students and staff alike. The final stage of the Graduation Ceremony is an annual tradition rich with symbolism and meaning. The home tutors pinned the special graduation pin to the collar of each student. The JC1 cohort had earlier penned encouraging messages to their seniors that were tied to candles. These candles were then lit by the graduating cohort, signifying the College flame and values being passed on within the community. Finally, we sang the College Anthem, with its message of high hopes for the cohort: for them to be a light to the world as bearers of the CJ flame, its mission, and its values. #whyCJ Watch the JC2 Grad Day video montage on our YouTube channel: https://tinyurl.com/CJCGradDay2021
JC1 END OF YEAR CEREMONY At the close of another year, the CJ family came together for the year-end Thanksgiving Ceremony. Reflecting on the year that has passed, we expressed our gratitude for all in our community, including our teachers and friends, who have been our steadfast companions through a challenging year. In her speech, our Principal Mrs Phyllis Lim, celebrated the milestones of the J1 cohort, commending their leadership and sense of ownership over their CJ experience as they adapted to changes

with remarkable tenacity. Our Guest-of-Honour and CJ alumnus, Mr. Nicholas Choong (Class of 2016), also spoke fondly of his CJ experience and how the college has been instrumental in his growth as a leader in his community. It is truly through the grace of God and the selflessness of others that we are able to navigate such uncertain terrain with the assurance that the new year brings great promise and hope afresh!

BADMINTON This year has been an eventful year for the CCA. We managed to compete in the national school games and all of us gained more experience from that. Despite having lost in the first round and the National School Games being cancelled it has nonetheless taught us valuable lessons. Badminton has been hit by COVID-19 and we had to switch from face to face training to e-CCA. This has made it hard for us to train and maintain our skills. Despite having little court training in the latter half of 2021, the members of the CCA aim to improve themselves and to go further than they did in the 2021 National School Games.

BASKETBALL The change in the mode of training from face to face to online sessions was unprecedented. With the majority of the team not having experience in basketball at a competitive level, we had to plan our sessions to suit members of all profiles. •
Due to the pandemic and the construction of the sheltered courts, we had to train without a proper court. Nevertheless, we tried our best to overcome the obstacles and to adapt to the changes. The training sessions had positive impact that created great camaraderie among the team. Even though we were disappointed that the National School Games for Basketball was suspended, we continued to motivate our team as we are all in this journey together.
We are looking forward to all of us being able to train together in the newly constructed sheltered court in school! As a team, we would also hope to play at the National School Games to show the CJ spirit as we fight as one.

CANOEING With the majority of us starting out as completely new to the sport, we emerged from our two year canoeing journey not only stronger physically, but mentally. This truly embodies our motto “Mentis Opprimo Materia”, Latin for “Mind over Matter”. Despite strenuous land and water trainings, under rain and sun, we learnt the importance of working together as a team, encouraging each other to push on even in the toughest of circumstances. Despite the National School Games being suspended due to COVID-19, the team trained hard and strived to achieve competitive levels. Our two year journey in Canoeing was like a roller coaster ride. While we celebrated many happy occasions together, there were also times when we fought and fell out. Despite all, we stayed strong together as a team and always cheered each other on in times of difficulties. “Mentis Opprimo Materia” has taught us perseverance not just in training but also in our individual lives, teaching us to be resilient and to always strive to do our best in whatever situation we are placed in. We will continue to cheer each other on and live out our motto. Awas go!

CHOIR The Catholic Junior College Choir was founded in 2000 and has 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 internationally in prestigious competitions, such as the International Festival of Advent & Christmas Music Prague (2006, Czech Republic), Festa Chorales Bratislava (2007, Slovakia), Young Prague (2010, Czech Republic), 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 and Distinctions in the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Presentations from 2009 to 2019 and even won the Orientale Concentus VII Grand Prix in 2014. What has been noteworthy about our journey is how amid the public health restrictions and our attempts to maintain excellence in our craft, the CJC Choir remains a warm and unassuming family, much like a microcosmic representation of the bigger College theme (Hearts Ablaze, One Flame, One Family). Each singer is an important member of the group, and nurtured to become a better singer. The singers develop not only their vocal skills and musicality, but also develop a deep appreciation for the magic of music-making as a team. All in all, the CJ Choir, though blessed with many accolades, remain, most importantly, a humble home for our passionate and enthusiastic choir members. In 2021, the choir made the audio and video recording of ‘Dominus Regit Me’, a song of encouragement made especially in light of the pandemic. After all the blood, sweat and tears poured out over hours and hours of practice, the CJ Choir proudly presented the piece as an SYF entry. It was also screened during CJ Celebrates 2021 as we proudly showcased our talents and hard work.

We also wish to express our gratitude to our teachers-in-charge for their hard work and dedication.

CROSS COUNTRY The CCA had gone through an unsteady period especially due to the appearance of Covid-19 in 2020. Hence there was the need to transition to online training over zoom. In the beginning, it was hard getting use to this new norm, but we managed to work together alongside the coaches and conducted productive training sessions, ensuring the spirits of the runners were not undermined by the given circumstances. 2021 brought new faces to the running scene, with some CJCians joining the CCA with no prior experience in the sport. Nevertheless, they continued to display great teamwork, knowing that Cross Country is a very strenuous and mentally taxing sport. They encouraged each other during training and looked out for each other, demonstrating the College’s theme of “Hearts Ablaze, One Flame One Family”, always constantly supporting and caring for one another. The team participated in the Virtual Inter-school Challenge 2021 displaying promising results. For the A Division Girls 3000m category, Erika Chuah (1T03) clinched the overall 15th individual placing award. For the A Division Boys 5000m category, Darrell Leow (1T19), Ku Zi Ming (1T22), and Jaythan Tan (1T25) clinched the overall 5th, 11th, and 17th individual placing award respectively and alongside the efforts of Timothy Chua (1T02), together helped CJC clinch the overall 4th place team award in this category.

In the next year, we hope to represent CJC in more races and provide the runners with more opportunities to represent the school in competitions and gain valuable race experience.

DRAMA SOCIETY Our 2020-2021 Drama Society CCA journey has been an arduous yet fulfilling one. SYF was cancelled due to the implementation of circuit breaker in April 2020 and performing on stage for a live audience was put on hold due to social distancing restrictions. Despite the numerous disappointments and challenges, we pressed on together, staying positive and adapting to the ever-changing COVID-19 situation. We learnt new skills that enabled us to script, shoot and edit short films to put up for Open House and the CJ Celebrates CCA e-concert, all of which we are extremely proud of. Through the shared experiences, we emerged stronger as one CCA family. This year, we are proud to announce that two of our drama members, Do Hoang My (1T05) and Deepa Shree Pushpanathan (2T07) scripted and filmed (at home!) monologues which were shortlisted for the 2021 SYF Goes Online ‘Young Playwrights’ showcase. My’s performance entitled ‘How are You?’ is a heartfelt one in which she appears with her father, and Deepa’s monologue is about a lawyer leaving her job to pursue her passion in the Arts. Their amazing achievements, performing even amid so much adversity, bear testament to our members’ resilience and passion for drama. Just as it is represented in the theme of the 2021 Leadership Conference, ‘Leading in Adversity: A Legacy of Tenacity’, it is our sincere hope that the legacy we seniors leave behind is one that will spur our juniors on in their continued pursuit of the culture of excellence and discipline, in their own journey towards SYF 2022.

EDITORIAL CLUB The last two years have been a time of growth and development for the Editorial Club members, showing resilience and adaptability as they made adjustments to online CCA meetings during Home-Based Learning (HBL). There was continued focus on training and development of our members as writers and aspiring journalists. In 2020-21, training modules on Student Learning Space (SLS) was used as a platform for our members to learn the conventions of report writing, skills in crafting questions and conducting interviews, and writing effective headlines and photo captions. Our members adapted and responded well to the changes, and initiated video interviews with students, staff and alumni. We welcomed new JC1 members this year who displayed much enthusiasm, curiosity and commitment in honing the craft of journalistic reporting, under the mentorship of the teachers and JC2 members.

We continued our good work for the Flame newsletter and produced two issues annually in 2020-2021, with our focus on college life and the CJ community. Online copies of our newsletters are made available on the college website for visitors to view the latest developments and stories of our community. In addition, the Editorial Club members contributed articles to the college website, reporting on the achievements of the alumni. These opportunities offered our members a rich and dynamic experience of the world of journalism and reporting. In the last two years, our members have displayed a growing confidence and creativity in producing content for various platforms. The Editorial Club looks forward to continuing engagement with the college community next year and in publishing and archiving the stories and narratives of CJCians.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE SOCIETY 2020-2021 has been challenging for us to continue our green efforts just like we did in pre-COVID period but it did not stop us from being creative and plan for activities that encourage a proactive attitude towards responsible environmental stewardship. We were more prepared this year where we included many online-based activities that still served to promote green habits and attitudes by showing CJC students the importance of safeguarding our environment.
Teachers-in-charge Ms Sri Yuni Mazlan Dr Lim Wei Ying Student Executive Committee President Padilla Andrei Vincent Munar (1T22)
This year, unlike other years, the Environmental Science Society (ESS) integrated the approach of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) education as part of our anchor activities which allows members to understand, apply and address environmental challenges through research. We included Design Thinking as part of our skill sets, which helped us to apply in many of our external collaborations such as the National Youth Upcycling Movement organised by Crescent Girls’ School, as well as the Greenwave Environmental Care Competition organised by Sembcorp Marine.
Vice-President Lim Livia (1T20)
We are also proud that the ESS launched our very first CJC ESS website after our 2019 Instagram launch (@cj_ess) as we go with the motto “Stewards for mother earth and champions for sustainable living” as we believe in reaching out to more like-minded people and the public.

FENCING 2020-2021 could be seen as both an eventful as well as an uneventful year. It was uneventful because Covid-19 had thwart plans to participate in the National School Games (NSG), which was something that all fencers looked forward to, and was the highlight of our Fencing calendar. However, it was also eventful because in spite of the disruptions to training and participation in competitions, the J2 fencers navigated the restrictions to physical training, and continued to put their best foot forward for training in all modes. We also worked on improving the fencing room and repaired the sparring dummy. The J2 fencers planned the Open House together and even filmed a CCA video to warmly welcome the J1s into the CCA.

One of the main highlights of 2020 was receiving our fencing gear, as it Vice-Captain was a symbol of our formal admission into the CCA. The resumption of Niu Ka Henn (2T06) physical CCA meant that we were given a chance to fence against more seasoned team mates. Having been apart, we relished the thought of being able to physically train together, to acquire skills and build a sense of camaraderie. We look forward to taking part in the NSG next year and to achieving stellar results.

FILM, SOUND AND VIDEO SOCIETY There were several challenges and uncertainties due to the pandemic and it was not always easy managing the demands when there were only eight of us in 2020. However, our batch is a tight-knit group and we worked tirelessly behind the scenes to do what we could. We are thankful for the times when we pitched in and helped each other out. Many of us sacrificed personal time to complete the assignments; the countless video editing sessions for example, sometimes lasting way into the night. Though there are few of us, we can be ridiculously loud and boisterous at times. Having each other to bounce ideas with is important for a CCA like ours where creativity is the lifeblood of what we do. We are also thankful to our teachers-in-charge for their patience and support in guiding and empowering us to plan for CCA sessions, and adapting whenever we had to because of the safe management measures. Covid-19 has made our experience difficult, but despite it all, we are grateful for the things thrown our way and we are proud to pass it on to the 20212022 cohort!

FIRST AID CLUB The past year had been one that was particularly memorable and enriching for us. We still remember that our first CCA session we had was through zoom and it took a few months before we could meet face-to-face due to the pandemic situation. Yet the fun and learning were not compromised, enabling us to be equipped with the necessary first aid skills just in time to serve the college community during large scale events. Some significant events that we took part in were the J1 Orientation Camp 2021, Cross Factor games and the J1 Sports Leader workshop 2021. Moreover, we also got the opportunity to host the college annual Blood Donation Drive which undoubtedly gave us a chance to come forth to initiate, organise and manage the drive together with the unwavering support from our teachers. The standard first aid course we took externally and, for some, the basic cardiac life support course also played a key part in our growth. In the coming years, we look forward to our CCA taking part in more competitions and community services outside of school that may involve the public so that we can maximise our outreach to the society to not leave out those who need us the most.

FOOTBALL 2021 was a difficult year for CJ Football. Like many other CCAs, CJ Football were unable to play in the National School Games ’A’ Division Competition and training was difficult. However, despite the setbacks of COVID-19, CJC Football persevered. Training sessions were held online and were hosted by members of the squad, truly showing what it means to be a CJCian. The Footballers never let the lack of competition dampen their spirits and could always be seen encouraging one another to achieve greater heights. “The thing I appreciated most about CCA was that I always had someone to talk to or crack me up after a long day of school” said ViceCaptain Yutaro Jong. Through 2020 and 2021 the boys not only became better footballers but also better people. As a squad, no one was ever afraid to try to keep a peer in check if they stepped out of line. Next year, CJ Football can look forward to the continued guidance of coach Jeremy and the Teachers-In-Charge and hopefully be showcasing their skill at the A Division Tournaments.

GENESIS Genesis was formed in 2021 to provide Catholic and Christian students a community to journey together, so as to support each other in faith. It comprises of a Formation and Music Ministry. Given the rigour of JC life, students appreciate a community to pray together, to find support and to serve the community with. Genesis provides that avenue for that collective experience of growing together in faith, to love and serve the Lord. In addition, Genesis was also intended as a platform for students to use their God-given talents to serve God and His people here in CJC. Through journeying and serving together, we hope to allow members to explore not only the spiritual dimension but the social dimension of the faith and to find God in prayer and in each other. Being a new CCA, Genesis members started the journey to collectively discern the mission and vision statements of Genesis led by the Teachers-in-Charge. The members unanimously felt that Genesis should be a community that creates connection and change in its members’ spiritual journey and also helps them discover their call. The three Cs were identified as cornerstones that guide the formation of the program. In its endeavour to enrich the spirituality of its members as well as the college community, Genesis organises activities such as monthly cell group and social sessions as well as termly Emmaus Sessions. These Emmaus Sessions are organised in conjunction with the Archdiocese’s Youth Office - The Office of Young People.

Cell group and social activities help to build a greater sense of community and faith amongst the students. By praying together and for each other, we are reminded that we are not alone in this struggle, we have the people around us to support us and we have a loving God watching over us, and never leaving us alone. Termly Emmaus Sessions help to allow participants to make better meaning of their spiritual journey. In one of the Emmaus Session titled ‘Tea-o-logy’, students discussed theological questions with the College Chaplain over tea and refreshments. They spoke about the meaning of suffering and the place of God. Through discussion and reflection, we clarify these doubts and renew our faith in God, and appreciate His wisdom and His goodness in our lives. In two other sessions titled ‘Refuge under his wings’ and ‘Who do you say I am’, speakers from the Office of Young People led participants in prayer and reflection to create a sense of hope and peace in the participants before the impending examinations. Genesis also provides musical accompaniment for various masses and Catholic based events organised by the Catholic Activities Wing of the Student Council. We participate in events such as ‘Ashes to Glory’ as well as the matriculation week session to introduce the Catholic ethos of the college to the new JC1 students. Genesis continues to look forward to forming a strong nexus with the Religious Education Team as well as the Catholic Activities Wing of the Student Council to strengthen the Catholic ethos in CJC . We also look forward to work with Catholic organizations such as Caritas to make a difference to the wider Christian community.

GOLF In the beginning of 2021, when we first met as a team, albeit awkward, we bonded quickly and became good friends. The COVID-19 pandemic irrevocably made training tougher, dampening our spirits and disrupting our momentum, especially when golf courses had to be shut down. Despite this, the CJ golf team persevered.
Teachers-in-charge Mr Foo Chee Tuang
We took time off our studies to train, some of us even missing classes to compete in junior competitions. Our efforts finally paid off on 20th April 2021, where our only female golfer, Jaclyn Choo (1T08) warded off serious competition and clinched 2nd place in the National School Games (A Division). The other golfers, Dexter Chia (1T25) and Arthur Yap (2T12), also made a commendable effort in the National School Games (NSG). Overall, the entire team brought pride to CJ. We grew closer during the tournament, looking out for each other and encouraging one another whenever one of us hit a bad shot. Our journey this year so far has been a memorable one, where we formed a mini golf family within the college that worked hard and played hard together. We look forward to playing more games as a team and winning more medals in the NSG next year, and maybe another golfer to join our team!

GUITAR ENSEMBLE This year has been a dynamic one as we had to rise to many new challenges presented by the pandemic. Many of us entered the CCA as beginners, with little to no experience in playing the guitar. Still, we pressed on with regular online CCA sessions, which culminated in a virtual performance of the well-known National Day song ‘We Will Get There’ for the school during the National Day Celebrations. The virtual piece painstakingly stitched together individually-recorded performances to recreate the familiar tune in melodic harmony. Immediately after that, we began the greater uphill battle of preparing for the 2021 SYF Arts Presentation. Without a doubt, there was some pressure with the short timeline to the presentation, in-person practices disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the hard-won three Distinction streak our seniors achieved. With such high expectations that we had for ourselves, we increased practices to thrice a week, and relied even more on mutual encouragement and support in the Ensemble and the patience and understanding of our instructor and teachers. After seven trying months of preparation, which developed calloused fingertips but ever-stronger hearts, we fought the odds with sheer determination and commitment, and achieved our fourth consecutive Distinction on 28 April 2021. To top that, our performance piece ‘Samba in the Sun’ was also featured in the opening event of the virtual SYF celebrations SYFgoesOnline! -- a recognition of our efforts that honoured and humbled us at the same time. Through the trials and triumphs of these two years, we cultivated a passion and love for the Guitar Ensemble and enjoyed a CCA experience that was worth all our efforts.

GUZHENG ENSEMBLE In light of the COVID-19 situation this year, Guzheng Ensemble practices were shifted online in the middle of preparation for the Singapore Youth Festival (Arts Presentation) 2021. Online practices were definitely more challenging as they required more time and effort from both the instructor and members to ensure that no one was lagging behind. But with our determined spirit, and with our “Hearts Ablaze”, we pushed on despite the many setbacks we faced to achieve new heights. On 21st April 2021, the Guzheng Ensemble clinched a Distinction at the 2021 Singapore Youth Festival (Art Presentation). This is our second consecutive SYF Distinction. Moreover, on 21st July 2021, the Guzheng Ensemble participated in the Nanyang International Music Competition and clinched the Gold Award. One takeaway from this year’s experience for us is the need to stay adaptable. With the mode of practice constantly changing, we had to accept new challenges, take them in our stride and come up with alternative solutions. Next year, the Guzheng Ensemble is looking forward to having more performance opportunities and promoting a deeper appreciation of our rich Chinese music heritage with the rest of the college.

INTERACT CLUB 2020 has been an interesting and fulfilling year. In 2020, as Covid-19 began, there were safe management measures in place to better curb the spread. We were unable to visit our various beneficiaries that our CCA was attached to. Knowing that this Covid-19 lockdown will add to the socio-emotional burden of our beneficiaries, we quickly got back to the drawing board to come up with solutions around this constraint. The executive committee with the help of the teachers, brainstormed on the possible solutions and liaised with the beneficiaries, paying special attention to their unique needs. Eventually, we adapted and managed to hold online zoom sessions with the elderly from our beneficiary, the Society for the Aged Sick. Our Interact Club members rose above their individual challenges and continually listened, and explored ways in which we could serve the different communities. We planned and completed many projects, collaborating with external organisations. In one of the more memorable projects, we adopted the wishes of the girls from Gladiolus Place. We spoke with the various stakeholders and brainstormed on ways to address the needs of the beneficiary. Eventually, we decided on reusable bamboo cups and cutlery for their meals. Each member of the Interact Club also utilised their creativity to design individualised notebooks for the girls to use. In another project, we held a fundraiser for a special needs beneficiary in Singapore in collaboration with TOUCH Community Services, selling handmade bracelets and goods over a period of a month. In the spirit of being stronger together, we explored the possibilities of working with the Interact Clubs from other colleges to see how else we could serve the community together. This led us to the opportunity and the eventual collaboration with Hwa Chong Interact Club to interact with and teach children in Cambodia about personal hygiene under the ASEAN Clean Hands project in 2020.

2020-2021 may not have been a year where we managed to carry out many of the projects that we initially planned to accomplish. But the year has given us the opportunity to accomplish what we never thought could have been accomplished. It challenged us to be resilient and creative. We have laid the foundation for our juniors to continue being an active part of the community despite the current situation. The Interact Club is grateful for the support from the College and stakeholders in our service learning and fundraising projects, and we look forward to more fruitful experiences and collaborations. As for the future, we hope that the COVID-19 situation improves and we will strive to keep contributing back to society.

JUDO As a club that takes in students without prior experience, our key focus is to cultivate an appreciation of Judo as a martial art form. Over the last two years, the Judo Club faced constraints in conducting regular trainings. As a contact sport, we now have to find alternative ways to conduct specific skills training with minimized contact, which can be rather challenging. Through close collaboration with our experienced coaches, a rigorous and extensive training program was put in place for these Judokas to build their physical endurance, mental strength and a deeper appreciation of the sport. In this year of unprecedented challenges, the team spirit displayed by our Judokas during CCA sessions was testimony of the bonds forged. With continued refinement of our program to current conditions, we look forward to an enriching and fulfilling year ahead.

MODERN DANCE 2020 and 2021 have been a challenging but noteworthy years for CJDC. With competitions cancelled in 2020 because of the pandemic, we had to adjust to the new normal of e-CCA trainings through Zoom. While not ideal, we did our best with the new requirements and actively trained in our homes till in-person CCAs were allowed. Even with these restrictions, we managed to come together and pull off the 2021 e-Open House performance which was well-received by members of the public. In 2021, CJDC sent in two teams for the Singapore Youth Festival (Arts Presentation). Each team focused on a different genre. Our lyrical team performed a ballet-inspired number to Beauty and the Beast’s ‘Be Our Guest’ while our hip-hop team grooved to a catchy item that highlighted the layman’s experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though trainings for the teams were separated, we never lost that sense of camaraderie and performed our respective pieces as one CJDC on 27th April 2021. Our hard work paid off as we clinched a Distinction and an Accomplishment respectively. We look forward to more in-person training sessions as we adjust to the new normal and will continue to further our dance passion!

NETBALL 2021 has been a tough year for our Netball Girls’ team as constant changes to SMMS have restricted the variety of events that we could have. For example, the JC1s had planned for a farewell for their seniors at the beginning of Term 3. However, due to SMM and the short notice before moving to e-CCA, it was cancelled and the girls were pretty disappointed. In addition, because Netball is a contact sport, the National School Games (NSG) (Netball) was not held this year so our JC2s did not get to compete both last year and this year. Hopefully, the current JC1s will get to participate in the NSG 2022 as the pandemic eases. Nonetheless, our girls held their spirits high and participated actively in each training session – we cherished every CCA session, especially the physical sessions and often trained past CCA timings. Most importantly, our Girls’ team has learned to be adaptive and resilient through the pandemic situation in 2020 and 2021 – we were fully supportive of the move towards e-CCA and adapted our plans/schedule quickly to the new CCA format/times, without a word of complaint. The EXCOs were also sweet and thoughtful in trying their best to host a farewell for their seniors.

ORATORICAL SOCIETY This year the Oratorical Society grew from strength to strength despite the constraints imposed by the ongoing pandemic. Being a CCA that leverages on spirited discussions and dynamic negotiations, we see the immense value of having our alumni members continuing to guide and inspire our current students. To this purpose, the OS Alumni Wing was officially established this year. With the support of the alumni members, despite the challenges faced, we successfully carried out our inaugural CJMUN on 15 – 16 March 2021. This initiative was warmly welcomed by the wider college body, with more than 30 JC2 students actively participating as delegates of the ‘Multi-Universal Sovereignty’ and ‘A Merry Calamity’ councils.

Beyond the college, our students participated in numerous competitions and MUNS, such as the MOE Inter-JC Debate Competition, One People Model United Nations (OP MUN) conference and the Plain English Speaking Award (PESA) competition. Our delegates to the OP MUN, held on 27 – 28 February 2021 did us proud by winning 13 awards, including 5 Outstanding Delegate awards, and 4 Best Position Paper Awards. In the PESA competition this year, Mehreen Cecil Malik (1T02) did the college proud by emerging as the champion in the JC/CI/Polytechnic category.

SHOOTING Shooting is always an invitation to develop needle-sharp focus and grace under pressure. A pandemic year is no exception. Granted, we saw a change in scene with the mode of e-CCA factoring in the Covid-19 situation, and for the first time range re-opening for CCA training is conditional on a whole-school and whole-of-CCA effort to abide by safe management measures. If anything, however, the time pressure upped the sense of urgency we had during every e-CCA and range training session. We made the most of opportunities to know the team, learn the ropes, compete with and against each other, and respond to feedback individually and as a team. In that sense, we met our objectives in less time, as seen in how the 2020-2021 batch moved mountains to make it in the nick of time for the 2021 Nanyang Technological University Invitational Shoot, and the subsequent National School Games (‘A’ Division) competition. As our coach rightly points out, the only way to make up for lost time is to make the most of the time we do have. May this work ethic be our ethos as our students and staff find themselves bearing even more in this climate of upheaval and momentous change.

SOCIETY OF SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL (SVDP) SVDP serves the underprivileged by according them dignity and offering practical aid. SVDP has brought good cheer to the elderly living alone. Despite COVID-19, SVDP connected with the elderly via telecommunication and did house-visits when possible. We collaborated with other schools to create festive gifts for the elderly. We also pioneered and developed an elderly-friendly cookbook! Since 2012, SVDP has been reaching out to the migrant workers and raising awareness about them. This year, we leveraged on a Trivia competition, and, collaborated with the CA Wing via morning reflections and Instagram posts featuring inspirational videos about our migrant brethren.

2021 is the first year we embarked on two new projects. This first is Iain Frederic Choo (2T21) a movement to get CJCians to know our school cleaners by name. The second is a collaboration with the PCCs in the Autism Awareness Campaign. There was good brainstorming of innovative ways to make the booth attractive (e.g. live-sized crossword puzzle and trivia quizzes that were designed hardy enough to withstand repeated usage)! Through our service, we have experienced priceless joy and deepened our spirituality. While 2021 is the last year that SVDP will have a presence in CJC, we pray that the Vincentian spirit will live on!

STRATEGY GAME CLUB 2020/21 has been a challenging and memorable year. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic our CCA tried our best to remain positive and continue our weekly CCA sessions. We introduced our first-ever Discord server, allowing CCA sessions to take place even during the circuit breaker and home-based learning. We also organised intra-CCA tournaments to allow our CCA members to compete in a tournament setting despite the pandemic. To improve our skills, we began hosting lessons for International Chess and Chinese Chess. These increased the cohesion between all members as they learned and played together. Even with the disruptions we experienced, we learned the importance of keeping our heads held up high and never give up. Practising for games and adapting to playing online was a challenge, but every loss was another step closer to improving ourselves and becoming better people. CJC is renowned for hosting an annual Chinese Chess tournament and participating in other live tournaments, but unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we could only participate in Singapore Polytechnic’s online tournament. We hope to participate in live tournaments again soon. With these experiences in Strategy Games, we can look back fondly at our CJC life and apply in the future.

SWIMMING Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, the CCA faced unprecedented challenges in managing training sessions without being able to go to the swimming pool. Yet, we continued working hard and playing hard. Albeit tough training, we spurred each other on, had fun, and found comfort and warmth in each other’s company. The last two years challenged us creatively - we had to find ways to incorporate fun and games so training would not become monotonous. Despite having limited pool training, the time we swam was so precious, for it was when we could relax, destress and just enjoy being underwater. In the two years, we realised that happiness lives inside the smallest moments that we could find joy despite limitations. Through forging strong bonds, great memories were created and would be treasured. Moving on, we will anticipate the new faces and the freshness that the incoming batch would bring into the team, to create new and memorable moments.

SYMPHONIC BAND The Covid-19 global pandemic meant that the CJC Symphonic Band (CJCSB) could only rehearse in small groups or online much of the time. Amidst these challenges, we found new ways to connect with and support each other. In so doing, we developed a stronger sense of community and shared purpose, and displayed great fortitude and unwavering commitment in our pursuit of making quality music. Under the warm guidance of our veteran conductors, bandsmen from all levels of musical proficiency have grown to perform music that is both moving and of greater maturity. In the 2021 Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation (SYF), the Band performed “The Knight of the Sky” by Hiroaki Kataoka and attained a Certificate of Distinction, and “The Wind Blows Where It Will” by Naoya Wada (opted out of Certification). The performances are best described in the words of our conductor, Mr Tan Thiam Hee, where “we performed real music on that stage”. The support of the teachers, guidance from the conductors and initiatives from the Exco are all necessary ingredients for a band to succeed and thrive. In these difficult and uncertain times, we are extremely grateful to our teachers and conductors for their support and guidance, which undoubtedly has kept the CJCSB experience one that is memorable and fruitful for many of us. The outgoing batch of section leaders and Exco members have also performed commendably, often going beyond the call of duty to lead the band, setting the bar high for the next batch of student leaders, who are thus well-positioned to lead the band and continue to uphold our rich legacy.

TENNIS The highlight of this year was definitely the strenuous journey leading up to and participating in the National School Games (NSG) in April as this was our first ever NSG played together as a team since the previous one was cancelled due to COVID-19. The CCA training has been a roller-coaster given the ever-changing Covid restrictions but nonetheless, we have been able to persevere through online and occasional offline training to achieve what we have set for ourselves last year, which was to be an inclusive and supportive CCA. When face-to-face training was resumed, so too did the social interactions between the players begin. We were able to host multiple team dinners to bond the JC1’s and JC2’s and organised combined trainings to bridge the gap between the boys’ and girls’ teams. We believe that this allowed the CCA to flourish in its inclusivity to build one cohesive family. Our main takeaways from 2020-2021 are to always strive for improvement, seek help when needed and have fun. We hope that Tennis CCA will continue to uphold its strong support network and be a second family for its current and future players as it has been for many generations before us.

TENPIN BOWLING The CJC Bowling team has kept their spirits up despite the Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions placed on CCA training sessions. We were greatly affected because of the nature of our sport, and the need for an external venue for training sessions. Our bowlers represented the college at the National Schools ‘A’ Division Championships in April 2021, which was held at a new competition venue this year. We were not able to have practice sessions on-site before the competition, which is a common practice for the sport. Despite this, our bowlers adapted quickly and gave their best showing during the three intense days of competition. While we did not clinch any medals this year, Timothy Santoso (1T15) and Ashlyn Leow Hui Xuan (2T21) were awarded Sportsmanship Awards at the National School Games for their perseverance and positive attitude displayed during competition. We look forward to continual improvement of our mental toughness and physical acuity in the sport, and to represent CJC at next year’s ‘A’ Division competition.

TRACK AND FIELD With the sudden emergence of Covid-19, the CCA had to make many changes like shifting to online Zoom sessions, making sure to exercise in groups of no more than 5 and many others. When Covid-19 first hit us in 2020, shifting to Zoom sessions for exercise was a huge change, which many were not used to. It took away our joy of running and sprinting on the tracks, where we were in the open, not constricted by the four walls of our rooms, and were able to feel the rush of wind into our faces. However, with great determination and perseverance, we started to get used to exercising in our rooms, and we even took the chance to get to know each other better by playing games together. Then 2021 came and many of us had hopes of joining and competing in the National School Games, as we were stripped of the opportunity to enter due to Covid-19 in 2020. Just when the National School Games was around the corner, there was the sudden news of our CCA not being able to compete due to Safe Management Measures. It was quite disheartening to hear the news, but the CCA still trained as hard as they could. Through the years, though we faced many challenges, we overcame all of them and we learned many important takeaways from them. The first is perseverance. Perseverance was what brought us through the tough times of having CCA online at home and made sure we stayed in tip top condition. The second is the ability to adapt. Adaptability is an important part of our lives, which ensures that no matter how the world changes, we are able to survive and to live life normally. This was important as we had to change our normal warm ups, runs and exercises during face to face CCA, to other exercises which ensured that we gained the same intensity of workout while in our rooms. The third and last takeaway is teamwork. Without the help of the entire CCA, teachers, trackers and coaches, we would not have been able to smoothly run every CCA session, to start and to finish on time. For the coming year, the CCA looks forward to being able to compete in some events like the National School Games, and any other possible track events that we can join. We are also working towards a more bonded CCA, where everyone will be able to relax after a tiring day of school.

ULTIMATE FRISBEE The journey in CJ Ultimate is Frisbee truly fruitful and rewarding to us. We are a group of members who are passionate and interested in the game of Frisbee. Ultimate Frisbee is a game of either 5v5 or 7v7 players where you can only touch the disc once in a row. Hence, we learn to depend on others and support each other. Even though, the competitions had been cancelled due to Covid-19 (such as RDT and IJC), we still managed to forge strong bonds and created many memories for ourselves. So much so that to many of us, Ultimate Frisbee is a source of happiness and relief, during this stressful JC journey. We look forward to each CCA session, knowing that there’s always something to learn out of it and that we are surrounded by people who are willing to go the extra mile for one another. The takeaways in the years of being in Ultimate Frisbee can be split into 2 aspects. On the field, we learnt to communicate and improve our Frisbee skills. More importantly, off the field, we all gained a group of close friends that will support each other.

VOLLEYBALL Our Volleyball journey was special. Due to the pandemic, the first few months of CCA was held online. Many of us were new to the sport and all of us did not know each other well. Nonetheless, we trusted our coaches and teachers, made the best of what we had, and had meaningful trainings that included physical training and bonding sessions. None of us expected to be able to participate in the National ‘A’ Division games. When teachers broke the news of the possibility of competing, we were elated! It gave us renewed motivation to train despite obstacles. The lack of a proper court, the unfavourable weather and increased training hours could not keep us from feeling encouraged. It was a privilege to have experienced the National ‘A’ Division games. Through it, we learnt to adapt to changes and to remain calm under pressure. Most importantly, we are proud of ourselves for giving our all and forging friendships that are more valuable than any medal.
