Turning Passion into Action!
We are incredibly proud of Krystal Sandar Swe (24A301), our Interact Club

she blends environmental stewardship with service. Her impact extends to
the wider community where she leads upcycling workshops for the elderly
and advocates for sustainable food practices.
We can all play a part in shaping a better future. Find a cause you care

TMJC Open House 2026: Soaring New Skyes
TMJC's Open House 2026, held on 15 January, embraced the inspiring theme
"Soaring New Skyes," which symbolised new beginnings and endless possibilities
for prospective TMJC students. This theme represented our College's unwavering
commitment to inspire every student to reach their full potential, encouraging
them to dream big and striving to achieve their goals. The event was a
resounding success, showcasing TMJC's vibrant culture in all its glory.
Every student displayed remarkable college spirit, coming together as one
unified community to give guests a genuine, firsthand experience of what
the TMJC spirit truly embodies.
The Principal's Talk at LT4 provided valuable insights into the intent
and philosophy of the TMJC Journey, a balanced, holistic development programme
that seeks to prepare students as future-ready citizens. The session also
featured meaningful sharing by an alumnus and current student leaders,
providing authentic perspectives on this transformative educational experience.
This was complemented by a second talk, #whyTM, which invited three current
students with different curricular and co-curricular backgrounds to share
authentic stories and perspectives of the TMJC experience, which was greatly
welcomed by all who attended.
The five-hour programme commenced with "Hop on Board with Skye," led by
the Student Council, and featured guided tours by dedicated student ambassadors
throughout the day. Three spectacular CCA showcases highlighted our diverse
talents: "Skye's Stage" featuring Wushu and English Drama, "Symphony of
Skye" with musical ensembles, and "Hype it Up with Skye" showcasing Modern
Dance and Taekwondo.
The day culminated in the "Skyebound Finale" with House Cheer Competition
and the college Mass Dance, coupled with a resound rendition of the college
anthem, demonstrating the collaborative spirit and unity that define TMJCians.
Back To School
The first day back at school at Tampines Meridian Junior College was
nothing short of electric, setting the tone for what promises to be a remarkable
year ahead. Despite the students being anxious at the start of the day,
the college soon buzzed with laughter, colour and contagious enthusiasm,
transforming the familiar grounds into a vibrant celebration of unity and
school pride.
The day unfolded with students having breakfast with their civics tutors
and thereafter a series of fun-filled outdoor inter-house games thoughtfully
organised by the dedicated Student Councillors (TMSC). These activities
immediately broke the ice, allowing students to reconnect after the break
and forge new friendships in a relaxed and joyful setting. Complementing
this were the civics group bonding games, creatively planned and conducted
by the Peer Support Leaders (PSLs). These sessions encouraged teamwork,
communication and mutual support, nurturing a sense of belonging within
each class and reinforcing the importance of positive class culture.
Throughout the day, cheers rang across the campus as houses rallied behind
their teams in spirited yet healthy competition. The energy was palpable,
with every point scored greeted by thunderous applause and chants. In the
end, Corvus emerged as the winning house, though the other
houses trailed closely behind, making the victory well-earned.
Adding to the excitement was the college mass dance and coordinated cheers
held in school Hall to conclude the day. These moments of collective participation
united the entire student body in rhythm and voice, powerfully boosting
college spirit and leaving everyone smiling, energised and proud to be
part of the TMJC community.
Students left campus in high spirits, hearts full and bonds strengthened.
It was a truly positive and uplifting start to the academic year — one
that perfectly captured the warmth, dynamism and unity of Tampines Meridian
Junior College.
