To be one of those who choose to pursue Art, challenging the stereotype of Singapore being “inaccessible” to

We are never the same, but we still have common traits that help us get together with one another. Personalities help us define who we are. In this article, we have identified some more prominent characteristics of Eunoians, and categorized them into different personality types, namely the mugger, athlete, leader, detached, and tiktok

How did our beloved mascot, Poe, come about? After spending a year in Press, I found myself having the same pressing questions. What began as simple curiosity became a journey to uncover Press’ identity. Our Origins: A CCA Within a CCA Unlike most CCAs, Press did not begin as one. It was originally a part o

Whether it be due to the dazzling array of performances every other day, leaving every Eunoian’s heart full of awe and wonder, or the entertaining games that send all our competitive spirits flaring as we compete to win house points. HAW marks an important event in the curati

For the J1 cohort, this event served as a timely reminder to reflect upon the aspirations and values that would guide their future pursuits, not just with one’s mind, but also with their hearts. The programme began with a tea session featuring several changemakers dedicated

Painstakingly designed by our EuRun coordinators, donning a bib signified that you were among the best of the best. And the best they had to be — house pride was on the line, after all. A roaring rainbow wave swept through Bishan Park. 200 runners were released in waves, yet only

A look back on an eventful term. Written by: Steven (25-A4), Giselle (25-E3), Vivian (25-I3), Megan (25-I6), Victoria (25-O1) Designed by: Samantha (26-U1) For all Eunoians, Term 2 was a busy and eventful term. Here is a look back on some of its highlights: EuRun After the conclusion of Spartan in Term 1, the J2s found that PE lessons swiftly became sessions of running, both on the track and in the neighbouring Bishan Park. The new J1s faced a similar experience, and they wer

Before we embarked on this VIA activity, we assumed it would be no different from the ones we had completed in the past. We expected it to be just another task where we fulfilled the requirements, logged our volunteer hours, and moved on. At the time, we saw it as simply another entry to add to our portfolios. But how wrong we were.

Term 1 was a period of new beginnings — both for the J2s and the new J1s. Here is a look back on some of its highlights:

Want out of the rut of choosing the same few dishes in the college canteen and cafe? There’s no need to venture beyond campus grounds in search of eateries slightly off the beaten track; your hectic schedule doesn’t need any more of such frivolous wastes of time! Alternative food options await at the fingertips of all EJ’s students and staff, namely the vending machines stashed with a repository of ready-made meals, breakfast items and snack foods!

Yet, once every year in late January, there comes a day when the Eunoian throws out all notions of ease to embark on a majestic quest for glory — for self, for class, for House and for school. This great quest is called “Spartan”.

Continuing our 2025 CCA Showcase, Part 2 turns the spotlight to Eunoia Junior College’s Performing Arts CCAs. In this installment, creativity takes centre stage as our students find a space to express themselves and experience the joy of showcasing their talents with like-minded peers.

Part 3 of the 2025 CCA Showcase brings Eunoia Junior College’s Sports CCAs into focus. Grounded in teamwork, perseverance, and commitment, these CCAs offer students a space to grow through challenge, strengthen camaraderie, and experience the rewards of striving together.

Regardless of whether you're a prospective student wondering about the CCAs Eunoia has to offer or a current student reminiscing about your CCA journey, a warm welcome to Part 1 of Eunoia Junior College's 2025 CCA showcase. CCAs are the heartbeat of Eunoia - on top of providing a safe space for students to meet like-minded peers and explore their interests, they serve as a platform for students to pick up new skills and forge unforgettable memories.

Designed to complement student life beyond CCAs, Eunoia Junior College's special programmes offer structured opportunities for students to deepen their interests, broaden their perspectives, and grow through purposeful engagement beyond the classroom. In doing so, they empower students to take initiative, develop critical skills, and explore their potential in meaningful ways.

For all Eunoians, Term 3 was a term filled with excitement and emotion. Here is a look back at some of its highlights.

We have a sole purpose: to find the ultimate Hidden Gem amongst all the hidden gems. Why did we subject ourselves to this potentially risky operation that would make our tongue lose faith in our dietary choices? Why, to further our research in bigback science, and perhaps to show these food a little love and attention it needs once in a while.

Then, at 9 o’clock in the morning, I opened my text messages and read: “Dear student, you are posted to Eunoia JC under 2025 JAE.” My first thought was, “What will the people be like? Will they all be from Catholic High, SCGS, and SNGS? I hope I don’t
