I grew up with the word INTEGRITY in my heart, for more than a decade. Ripped off from my alma mater's website, that is what our convent school always had tried to drill into us...despite how unappreciative we were when schooling.

In CHIJ Katong Convent, we value
I
Integrity. The KC girl believes in being truthful and honest.

Our school badge:

Simple in Virtue, Steadfast in Duty

Virtue is a personal possession; no one can take it away from you against your will. An upright virtue goes out to one’s neighbour with spontaneous warmth. It judges oneself with humble honesty and it goes straight to God with childlike confidence.

"Steadfast in Duty" speaks for itself. Perseverance in what is one’s assigned vocation is not always easy but it yields that inner peace and freedom which no money can buy. It stresses the importance of a sense of personal responsibility - an essential trait for everyone preparing for adulthood.

I'm a product of a decade of devoted education in the convent. And I will not be where I am, if not for this important part in my life! Praise God!
