The 2 JCs established post 2000 are:

Innova JC, 2005
Meridian JC, 2003

So now we have,

Eunoia JC, 2016

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

Haha ! I like yr new trend names if only these names for condo.
This reminds me in the late 1990s, the condos are named w Tower as Sherwood Towers, Trellis Towers, Fernwood Towers. Now, the names are w Residences like Bartley Residences, Canberra Residences, Foresque Residences. A trend indeed.

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.

:rotflmao:
Wonder what is the chinese name for the JC.
优美初院？nay, too feminine.

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

Oh, officially announced already?
Sounds like Noah in Noah's Ark (诺亚方舟）。
At least got biblical connection and acceptable name for both genders.

Maybe what we need is more transparency and democracy? Students to vote online?

After voting and deliberating, the new JC will most likely be renamed to Eunoia JC from Eunoia JC (p.s. newnation.sg already coining it as 1 Sin Ming JC).

Recent trend suggest we are not very good at crowd sourcing for names. We have renamed Marina Bay to Marina Bay, chosen Budget Terminal as the name of the budget terminal, and decided on 1 Sengkang Mall as the name of the mall in Sengkang (formerly Compass Point).
