History
CJC was founded in 1975 by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Singapore, Michel Ol?omendy in an effort to coordinate the pre-university education provided by the different Catholic schools, and provide all Catholic schools with pre-university classes. All students enrolled in the fifteen Catholic secondary schools in Singapore are given a two-point deduction from their 'O' Level L1R5 score when applying to CJC.
Principals
Catholic Junior College since its inception has always been led by Catholic religious men and women. The first principal of CJC was Brother Patrick Loh, who moved from one of CJC's affiliated schools, Saint Joseph's Institution, to head the college. CJC was headed by Brother Paul Rogers from 2002. He officially stepped down as Principal at the end of 2009 after eight years. Mrs Christine Anne Kong, the first lay person to helm the college, took over in 2010.
