Celebrating Our Legacy, Championing Our Heritage

At CHIJ (Katong) Primary, we are proud to belong to the esteemed CHIJ family, a sisterhood rooted in a rich heritage and enduring traditions. This legacy is not merely remembered; it is lived daily, shaping the values we nurture in our students and fostering in them a deep sense of identity and belonging.

Our girls grow up knowing they are part of something larger than themselves. Across all CHIJ schools, shared symbols, traditions and experiences unite generations of IJ girls, creating a bond that is both meaningful and lasting. It is here that friendships are formed and nurtured; friendships that endure well beyond the school years, for truly, IJ friends are friends for life. Through thoughtfully designed programmes and authentic experiences, we help our students understand and live out the CHIJ spirit so that this connection becomes personal, purposeful and enduring.

At the heart of a CHIJ (Katong) Primary education is a strong foundation grounded in the love of God and the teachings of the Catholic Church. Each girl is reminded that she is deeply loved and this belief shapes her character and worldview. Guided by Catholic Social Teachings - respect for the dignity of every person, a commitment to the common good and a responsibility towards others, our students learn to act with compassion, integrity and purpose.

As Nicolas Barré reminds us, “Educate them well… and they will change the world.” This conviction continues to guide our mission as we nurture young women who are not only knowledgeable but also grounded in faith and values.

We believe that true education goes beyond academic success. It is about forming young women of character - grounded in truth, guided by justice, respectful of freedom and driven by love. Together, our students build a caring and united IJ community, one that seeks to make a meaningful difference.

Our hope is that every CHIJ (Katong) Primary girl leaves our school not only academically prepared but also values-driven and ready to lead with conviction, serve with compassion and carry forward the proud legacy of the CHIJ family as agents of change in the world.
