Tampines Junior College (Abbreviation: TPJC) is a junior college located in Tampines in the Eastern region of Singapore, offering a two-year course for pre-university students leading up to the GCE 'A' Level examinations. TPJC was founded in 1986, and was the country's 13th junior college to be set up. TPJC has around 150 staff members and a student population of 1,800.〔( About Us: Tampines JC's official website )〕 The college is only one of two colleges〔( Ministry of Education, Singapore )〕 that offers the Malay Language Elective Programme. Under this programme, students study the Malay language, literature and culture at greater depth; and go on trips to the Middle East, Malaysia and Indonesia. == History == Tampines Junior College, located in Tampines New Town, began functioning as a centre of pre-university education on 11 April 1986. On 20 December 1986, the handing over ceremony marked the completion of Tampines Junior College. In late December, the College moved to its present home at 2 Tampines Avenue 9. Sitting on 6 hectares of land and costing about $18.2 million, Tampines Junior College was the 13th college to be built. The brainchild of P&T Architects,〔( List of projects: P&T Group )〕 Tampines Junior College received the best-designed college building award in 1988. Despite winning this award, the college has no lifts making it impossible for wheelchair-using or mobility-impaired staff or students to move independently around the college. On 1 July 1988 the College celebrated its official opening ceremony by Mr Phua Bah Lee, Senior Parliamentary Secretary (Defence) and Member of Parliament for Tampines. The uniform design was the product of the efforts of students and staff, the College Crest was designed by a pioneer student and the lyrics of the anthem were composed by a pioneer teacher, Miss Lilian Chia, to music by Antony Albuquerque.〔Vasnani, Bhavna Ramesh; and Ding Jie, Ng. (2008). ''Crossing Borders''. The TPJC Link. April–June 2008.〕 TPJC celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2006. In January 2007, the college introduced Theatre Studies and Drama into the curriculum and is one of the four colleges〔( Ministry of Education, Singapore )〕 so far (the other 3 being VJC, ACJC and RJC) to offer this subject. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tampines Junior College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
