Dear Alumni & Parents,
Catholic Junior College will soon have a new chapel, which will serve as the centre of spiritual life in the college. I am appealing to you to help us complete this project.
The college currently has 450 Catholic students. Our existing prayer room is too small for our regular weekday Masses. The chapel will seat 200 and provide a conducive environment for group prayer and liturgy.
Dear Alumni & Parents,
Catholic Junior College will
soon have a new chapel, which will serve as the centre of spiritual
life in the college. I am appealing to you to help us complete this
project.
The college currently has 450 Catholic students. Our
existing prayer room is too small for our regular weekday Masses. The
chapel will seat 200 and provide a conducive environment for group
prayer and liturgy.
Known officially as the House of Prayer,
the chapel will welcome all who wish to enter, regardless of religion.
Former students may also consider returning to the college to have
their marriages solemnized in the chapel.
Architect Mark Chin,
a former CJC student, designed the curved chapel. Four stained glass
panels by Koh Bee Liang will depict Bible scenes including the Last
Supper, adding colour and inviting contemplation for all those who
enter.
The college has to bear the full cost of building and
maintaining it. The cost is $1.4 million. We now need your generous
support to complete the building and provide for the furnishing.
I hope you will consider contributing what you can, and there are two ways in which you can help:
- Make an outright donation, by sending a cheque payable to Catholic Junior College;
- Sponsor
one of the items listed in Appendix A. Sponsorship is being coordinated
by Mdm Lum Poh Ling, who can be contacted at 6252 4083.
Donations
of $ 1,000 and above will be commemorated on a donor’s plaque.
Unfortunately, donations are not tax-deductible because this is a
church building.
In Veritate et Caritate
Yours sincerely,
Brother Paul Rogers FSC

A message from the Chairman, School Management Committee, on the change of Principal for Catholic Junior College in 2010.
16 Oct 2009
Dear members of the CJC community,
I
would like to announce that Bro Paul Rogers will be stepping down as
Principal of CJC at the end of 2009 after eight very successful years.
Under his very able leadership, CJC has produced sterling results and
is once again a sought-after Junior College. On behalf of the CJC
community, I would like to thank Bro Paul for his unstinting efforts in
spending some of his best years with us. I am sure he will bring his
drive and innovative leadership style to his next assignment in
Melbourne.
I would also like to announce that Mrs Christine
Anne Kong will be joining us as the new Principal. After an extensive
search, the board is delighted that Christine has accepted the
challenge of leading CJC. With 29 years of experience behind her, where
she is currently a Superintendent of schools and previously the
Principal of St Theresa’s Convent, the board is confident that
Christine will bring CJC to the next level of success. She has achieved
many firsts in her career and at CJC, she will be the first lay
Principal.
Bro Paul has also agreed to stay on a little longer to ensure a smooth transition.
Please join me in wishing Bro Paul God’s blessings in Australia and welcoming Christine to our family.
Gerard Lee
Chairman
School Management Committee
