From Jan 1, 2027, the names of two Catholic girls' schools in Toa Payoh will revert to their original names from 1854.The move was announced in a joint statement by the principals of CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh) Judina Cheong and CHIJ Secondary (Toa Payoh) Genevieve Chye on Tuesday (May 26).This will allow the two schools, as the mother schools of the CHIJ family of schools, to «return to their historical identity and heritage», they explained.Following the reinstatement, which has been approved by the Ministry of Education, CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh) will be named «Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (Primary)» and «Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (Secondary)» respectively.The name change will not affect the schools' mission, the principals said. «As the oldest girls’ Catholic schools in Singapore, we have nurtured generations of young women who are anchored on the CHIJ values of truth, justice, freedom and love. »We remain committed to our mission to develop IJ girls who live out our school motto, 'Simple in Virtue, Steadfast in Duty'."
