Temasek Junior College (TJC) (simplified Chinese: 淡马锡初级学院; traditional Chinese: 淡馬錫初級學院; pinyin: Dànmǎxī chūjí xuéyuàn) is a junior college located in Bedok. which is part of the Eastern region of Singapore. The college admits students for the six-year Integrated Programme and the two-year pre-university course, both culminating in the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level national examination.
Temasek Junior College was established in 1977 as the second government junior college in Singapore. In 2005, TJC launched its four-year Integrated Programme, Temasek Academy, which caters to secondary three students. Since 2013, TJC offers the six-year Temasek Junior College Integrated Programme.
The crest of the college depicts the letters TJC in bold form, with the letter T taking a symbolic shape and reflecting a characteristic architectural feature of the College. The square in the middle of the crest is the original school badge, taking the shape of the quadrangle surrounded by the administrative building.
The college has four houses:
Each house is run by a House Committee (led by the House Captain), which is part of the second highest student body in the school. The members of the House Committee are elected by students of their own houses.
