Chinese New Year Celebrations 2023
On 20 January, TMJC ushered in the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit with celebratory activities, revolving around the theme of “Return of Spring and A New Year of Vitality”.
The programme started with CGs displaying their creativity
by making CNY handicraft using red packets. The handicraft consisted of
lanterns, firecrackers and new year greeting cards which were displayed along
the study area outside the General Office, adding cheer to the festive mood.
Students also watched a student-directed short film produced
by the Citizenship Education Committee, highlighting the different symbolic
meanings of Rabbit in Asian countries. This was followed by an inter-CG Kahoot
Quiz to heighten students’ awareness of the citizenship messages behind the
film.
The second segment of the programme gathered all teachers
and students in the Hall for a kaleidoscope of performances put up by various
CCA groups. Students from the Chinese Orchestra, Choir, Modern Dance, Wushu and
Taekwondo staged performances of celebratory music, songs, dance and martial
arts, heightening the festive cheer. Teachers Ms Ann Koh and Mr Wong Hoe Sing
also added to the festive cheer with their live song performances. As part of
the Lunar New Year tradition, the student leaders presented mandarin oranges to
our school leaders and staff to express their gratitude and appreciation.
The final segment of our Chinese New Year celebrations ended
on a high note as a TMJC family with a mass Lo-Hei session. Our teachers also
brought their little ones along to share in this joyous festive celebration!
A Happy and Blessed Chinese New Year to everyone!

TMJC Open House 2023
On 13 January 2023, TMJC held our first post
COVID-19 Open House to welcome visitors.
TM Wonderland, the theme for Open House 2023,
aimed to create unique experiences for visitors by infusing magical, whimsical
elements into our programmes and activities.
Our Principal, Mr Sin Kim Ho, provided insight
into the JC curriculum that enabled our visitors to gain a deeper understanding
of their new and exciting journey ahead.
The subject talks and booths set up by our
dedicated staff gave prospective students a glimpse of our TMJC programmes.
In addition, our committed students came
together to set up informative CCA booths and put together rousing performances
during the CCA showcase, Opening and Closing ceremonies. It was indeed a
magical day where visitors experienced our strong College spirit and dynamic
culture.
TM Wonderland ended memorably with a group
shot of our staff, students and visitors at the College hall to commemorate
this significant day.
Thank you for being a part of TM Wonderland!

First Day of School at Tampines Meridian Junior College 2023
On 9 January 2023, TMJC
welcomed our students back to College with a series
of “Back-to-School” activities to reconnect with their friends and
teachers.
The “Back-to-School” programme
began with an opening address by our new Principal, Mr Sin Kim Ho. As a symbolic gesture of appreciation and
care, the 5th TMSC President, Gerrard Poh, led the TMSC and JC2 CG
leaders to present apples to the school leaders, teachers and support staff.
One of the highlights of the day was the “Staff vs Student
Challenge” where students from 5 different Houses held friendly
competitions with their teachers in various activities. This was a great
opportunity for students to catch their teachers in action outside the
classroom.
The House Captains teamed up with the OGLs to lead in the House cheers
to bring further excitement during the games. This was followed by a communal
tea break provided by the College for the students to bond with their Civics
Tutors and classmates.
After the tea break, the CG leaders led the class in some interesting class bonding activities.
The JC2 cohort won the “Staff vs Student Challenge” for the
first time after 5 years. Our Principal, Mr Sin, presented the Challenge Trophy
to Gerrard Poh who represented the students.
The programme ended with the whole College coming together to prepare for the upcoming Open House to showcase the dynamic spirit of the College. Here’s to a great year ahead!
