Anyone knows what is the previous JC before this new JC? When was that and what is the name? Thanks.

If can't compromise with scgs girls, the sng and chs pupils can tell them : you nonya, we aren't.\"

Wasn't pleased with the name too. It sounds too nonya or like in a street road in Eunos.
Given both SNG and CH are SAP schs except for SCGS, wouldn't it be simple to name as ''SAP JC\" instead.

like that nonya girl won't be happy :siam:[/quote]But this is not Peranakan JC leh.

You-know-ah? I don’t know.


The Greek name Eunoia has no link or significance to the 3 feeder schools. So what if Eunoia means "beautiful mind" (想得美 初中）? Anyone who has been a parent before would know that if one’s surname is 胡, do not name his baby 莉晶, else the child will be teased for the rest of her life.

Previously, many forummers suggested many other nice names like "College By the Park" etc, I think more atas and more relevant to the local context.

Guess it's IJC, about 10 years old now. Innova.
....Innova, Eunoia...herrm.. they rhyme, like a lazy or toothless way of pronouncing innova. Hope taxi drivers don't get confused.

So now we have,

Eunoia JC, 2016

Maybe it's a new trend from 2015. I reckon Quinoa, Paranoia, Euphoria to come next.

Seriously, why choose a Greek name for a government institution?? We were still joking about some posh French names for the JC months ago. The leaders might have taken a leaf from those suggestions. :faint:

The more obscure the name/language, the more atas it is mah :rofl:
Now that French speakers so 俗, maybe MOE thought Greek will raise the atas quotient.

Greece in crisis, new JC planning also in crisis..bingo!

Could have been worse. Like SingaporeChineseCatholicNicholas JC. Or BeautifulAndSoundMind JC.


Think positive.

Interesting...must go and check up the meanings of these 2 names now.

More classic names would be better in local context. Maybe something like Oxford Junior College, Cambridge Junior College, Stanford Junior College, etc…
