Principal's Message

2025 is an exciting year for Catholic Junior College as we celebrate our Golden Jubilee this year!

Established in 1975 by the Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore to provide a two-year pre-university course anchored in Catholic Ethos, Catholic Junior College (CJC) is the only Catholic mission junior college in Singapore. Guided by the school motto, In Veritate et Caritate which means In Truth and Love, the college provides quality A-Level education to students by encouraging them to seek the truth about the universe, about themselves and about God, and to seek to live in truth and love for others. To this end, the mission of CJC is to build a generation in Truth and Love and nurture Every CJCian to be a Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart.

We believe that every CJCian has the intellectual capacity, sense of social responsibility and compassion to navigate and thrive amidst the vagaries and challenges of this VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world, make informed interpretations of information that come their way and devote their time and effort to champion worthy causes for the less fortunate in society. We believe that every CJCian has the gumption to lead for the interest and betterment of society, to respect and promote the dignity of the human person, and to build their community in solidarity with others. Indeed, past batches of CJCians have gone on to impact society in their own ways, such as being in service of others through their vocation and volunteer work.

The pivotal role of educators at Catholic Junior College in enabling CJCians to learn and act to build the larger community is not to be taken for granted. Educators at CJC exemplify the college motto in their professional ethics and interaction with students and one another, always seeking to give of their best to students. They develop the students intellectually, form their values and character through creating learning opportunities, and journey with and encourage students in the face of challenges that come their way. Through our teachers’ efforts to build the college ethos, anchored in the college motto, In Truth and Love, and family spirit of unity, CJC is a home away from home, a safe refuge for students where they are accepted and supported, where friendships are forged, and problems learned and overcome.

As we celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the founding of Catholic Junior College in 2025, we give thanks to God for the many blessings and graces granted upon the CJ community of staff and students, past and present. We pray for the continued guidance of the Holy Spirit as we refresh our value proposition as the only Catholic mission junior college in Singapore to educate current and future CJCians. We seek to empower them to learn joyfully In Truth and Love and become Thinkers with a Mission, Leaders with a Heart in their chosen vocation, in time to come.

CJC is not just a college; we are a community, lovingly referred to by students, past and present, as the CJ Family. We welcome CJCians and all who are part of this extended CJ family to join in our upcoming CJ50 celebrations, aptly themed, A Family United in Truth and Love, to reconnect and renew ties with each other:
