''Ooo-la-la. So Lifestyle's writers ruffled quite a few feathers in their recent article about IJ Girls being, well, um, you know what lah.'' quoted.when i read the thing last sunday. i was like. ER! WTH! OMG! how can they say that!and what is with that picture of the girl smoking!hello.focus on the positive can! there are girls who wear they belt low and stuff but still! that doesnt mean they havent got an ij heart. or that they're sluts.TSK!how can they say that!OMG.it makes us seem so low!and whats with the 'bad rep aside'!doesnt ij have a rep for being one of the more prestigious schools.girls well spoken, good mannered, polite.and will someone please explain what is wrong with being allegedly easy when it comes to the opposite sex!IJ SPIRIT.thats what they should've said.so what if we dont have a school spirit as strong as sji!like HELLO.you should have seen us at obs.everyone cheering everyone on.everyone sharing food.sricking together. all those words of encouragement.and on the last day!all together.even if i didnt really know you, and you dont even see me around school, i knew you at camp!singing our school song, with such pride.such pride to hail from IJTP.SUCH PRIDE.and about the alumni thing!Koh Cheng Mun and Irene Ang were from IJ too!and the late ELIZABETH CHOY.
TSK. one article isnt gonna make us feel low. nuh-uh, it isntit's gonna make us realise how much stronger we are.to realise that for us to have defended IJ, we're not just what that article said.you cant sum up IJ in a paragraph.and yet you can in one line.SIMPLE IN VRTUE, STEADFAST IN DUTY.
we dont forget our friends, we stay by their side.we dont leave them on the floor when they fall, we pick them up.when they're losing the race, we wait for them, and we all win together.when we feel threatened, we dont!, we stick together.sing along with me ij girls.
sing loud, sing proud.the ij spirit's living on.it's stretching far and far beyond.it's never gonna die, it's gonna live, in each of us.and we will keep it burning burning strong.the flame of zest lies in us all along.always inspiring us, to go on.and as long as we dont forget that.we'll be true blue ij girls.Every child who leaves CHIJ Secondary:
will be equipped to continue her education beyond secondary level
will be confident, competent, compassionate and ready to serve society
In her hand will be her "O" Level Certificate
In her heart will be the capacity to love till it hurts
In her limbs will be strength and vigour
In her mind will be sharpness and power of choice
In her soul will be an ongoing thirst for perfection
sprinkled in glitter.
