Suddenly have the interest to find out more about my maiden education school. To my surprise, I reallise that there are many positve thoughts and vision about the school and the teaching given to the students are meaningful and inspiring. That explains why this school is successful and grooming lots of successful students over the years.
School Vision
A Leader in Every Student.
The CHIJ Badge
History of the Badge:
This badge or crest was created by CHIJ pupils in 17th century France incorporating into its concept and design, values and aspirations which they wished to be lived out in each CHIJ School. Their design is still proudly worn by thousands of CHIJ pupils in the 21st century. This badge is a symbol of the international unity binding together pupils from every continent, especially CHIJ pupils from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Japan.
The Design of the CHIJ School Crest
The red shield has a silver band edged in gold. On the right side of the shield is the Book of the Gospels with a silver rosary. On the left is a golden distaff and spindle. The shield surmounted by a gold cross is encircled by a garland of marguerites.
The significance of the symbols
The shield – red in colour symbolizes the all-embracing message of love.
On its right is the open gospel. This points to the source of inspiration which guides the whole school community. The silver rosary represents the story of the gospel as seen through the eyes of the Virgin Mary.
On its left are the distaff and spindle. These are symbols of womanly labour, typical of an earlier period, which remind us of the dignity of work and the satisfaction and fulfillment to be found in a task well accomplished.
The cross which surmounts the crest serves as a reminder that the source of our
inspiration, dedication and fidelity comes from Christ.
The shield is encircled by a garland of marguerites. These simple flowers are found
by the wayside in France and are symbolic of the purity and simplicity which should
characterise our relationships at every level.
