History
Eunoia Junior College was established alongside the Catholic High School – CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School – Singapore Chinese Girls’ School Joint Integrated Programme (JIP), which accepted the first cohort of IP Year One students in January 2013.[3] The name of the junior college was announced on 29 December 2015 by Acting Minister of Education (Schools), Ng Chee Meng, in an MOE ceremony at Shangri-La Hotel to appoint and appreciate the country's principals.[2]
Eunoia Junior College welcomed its pioneer batch of students in 2017, and held its inaugural assembly on 20 February 2017.[4]
The college operates at the temporary campus in Mount Sinai, formerly the site of Raffles Junior College. It was announced that the college's permanent campus located off the junction of Sin Ming Avenue and Marymount Road will be ready in late 2019, owing to the delay in the construction of the Cross Island Line.[5][6]
