Temasek Junior College

Temasek Junior College (TJC) is a government-run junior college located in Bedok South, Singapore. It offers a six-year Integrated Programme alongside a two-year Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level curriculum. History Temasek Junior College was established in 1976 as the second government junior college in Singapore, and it took in its pioneer batch of students in 1977. The name "Temasek" is a reference to Singapore's ancient name, which can be understood as "sea town". It was adopted by the college to "honour the resilience, fortitude and courage of Singapore's forefathers." In 1982, Temasek Junior College became one of the pre-university centres to offer its variation of the Humanities Scholarship Programme (HSP), co-ordinated by the Ministry of Education. In 2005, Temasek Junior College started a four-year Integrated Programme known as Temasek Academy. In 2013, the Integrated Programme was expanded to be a six-year course, taking students in after PSLE. Temasek Junior College's 47-year-old campus in Bedok South will be rebuilt. Construction of the new campus was initially planned to start at the beginning of 2022, while the college would temporarily move to the former site of Tampines Junior College that same year. However, due to Covid-19, this was postponed twice, first to 2023 and finally 2024. The construction would take four years to complete, with the new campus at the original Bedok South site becoming operational in 2028.
