The Ministry of Education (MOE) confirmed on Friday that the holding site for the new junior college (JC) will remain at Mount Sinai, because the site has the space and facilities to complement a JC-level education, which other holding sites lack.
The new JC will start in 2017 and enrol mainly Integrated Programme students from Catholic High School (CHS), CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School, and the Singapore Chinese Girls’ School (SCGS). The plan is for them to study at an interim site until the permanent campus at the junction of Sin Ming Avenue and Marymount Road is ready.
The permanent campus will be ready by end-2019, a delay from its original timeline of mid-2018, due to the construction of the Cross-Island Line.
