St Andrew's Junior College

Motto

All the St Andrew's Schools shares the same motto, "Up and On", as well as the school colours of blue and white.

Crest

The former crest of St Andrew's Junior College distincted itself from that of SAS(S) and SAS(J). It bore the saltire and had "SAJC" in white letters on a red circle in the middle of the cross instead of the tiger head and crossed keys of the other schools.^{[citation needed]} The crest was changed in 1993 to that of SASS to forge a united St Andrew's identity.^[5]

Houses and Classes

There are five houses in SAJC, whose names matches that of SAJS and SASS. They are Romanis, Gomes, Hose, LoyFatt, Venn, all named after founding members of St Andrew's School. Students in the Faculty of Arts belong to the house Romanis, while students in the Faculty of Science are split among the other houses. Classes, known as Civic Groups (CG) in the college, are named by the year the students came into the school, the faculty (A for Arts, S for Science) and a number. An example is "16S04" – meaning, the class started in 2016, is in the Faculty of Science and is the 4th class in the faculty.^{[citation needed]}

Anthem

The College Anthem differs from that of SAJS and SASS. It is unique in that the key shifted from G-major to F-major midway and back to G-major at the end. Also, the words 'Up Boys' is changed to 'Up Saints', as the college is co-ed. The music was written by J.J. de Souza and the lyrics by Pauline Koe. The College Hymn then was O God, Our Help in Ages Past.^{[citation needed]} The anthem and hymn were changed in 1993 to that of SASS to forge a united St Andrew's identity.^[5]

Uniform

Male students wear a white short-sleeved shirt and navy blue long pants, along with a navy blue tie with yellow and white stripes and bearing the school crest. Female students wear a white short-sleeved shirt and navy blue skirt of which the hemline should be no higher than 5 cm from the middle of the knee cap as well as the back of the knee.^[6]

The formal attire changes the white shirt or blouse to a long-sleeved one, and the pants or skirts to a white one. Students donning this uniform will wear black court shoes.

The PE attire consists of a white FBT-branded dry-fit shirt with the school crest sewn on the chest. The college divides students into 5 Houses – Venn (black), Loy Fatt (yellow), Hose (blue), Gomes (red) and Romanis (green). Students purchase a shirt with their house colours at the side torso area. The shirt follows the previous shirt designs with the word, "SAINTS", printed on the back of the shirt. The previous shirt was cotton based and house colours were dyed on the sleeves of the shirts instead. The shorts are navy blue shorts with the college initials sewn at the bottom-right of the shorts. The school tie, which was worn by all students, was solid navy blue with one red and one white diagonal stripe across it toward the bottom.

Christian Culture

The school comes under the purview of Anglican Diocese of Singapore, believing that students do not enrol into the school by chance.^[7] This serving as a reminder to both students and staff alike that each Saint has a divine purpose and plan set by God. The school also has daily scripture readings and morning prayers conducted by teachers and students. There is also Chapel held fortnightly led by associates from the Chapel of the Resurrection.^[8] Once a year, the school also observes Passion Week, finishing off with Life Concert, a charismatic worship concert held on school grounds which also serves as an evangelical outreach to non-Christian students.

Charity

SAJC is an exempt charity.^[9]
