Catholic Junior College
Catholic Junior College (CJC) () is a junior college in Singapore, offering a two-year course for pre-university students leading to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examination. Founded in 1975, Catholic Junior College was the third junior college to be established in Singapore. History. Plans for a junior college operated by the Catholic mission were first announced by then-Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew at the opening of National Junior College in May 1970, as one of several planned to be set up. Subsequently, the Catholic mission disclosed plans for a fund-raising campaign in  June 1970. The college was to occupy about of land along Whitley Road, and to use both English and Chinese to conduct classes. Construction on the college campus was underway by July 1974, and was expected to have a capacity of 1,500 students. CJC took in its first batch of 500 students in January 1975, but as the college campus was not ready, the students initially attended classes at other Catholic schools. The first section of the college, comprising four tutorial blocks, was completed in March 1975, while the rest of the campus was completed by August that year. With  the college's opening, pre-university students that were then attending classes in Catholic schools moved over to the college. In March 1977, the college set up a co-operative. In the late 1970s, CJC formulated its own moral education syllabus designed specifically for its students. Consisting of role-playing and sharing sessions, it took into account ideas from students shared during engagement sessions. In 1985, the college campus was upgraded at a cost of $1 million.
