Football
Good morning Mrs Kong, Mr Tan, Mr Lee, teachers and fellow CJCians. The Football team of 2013 has been working and training hard since pre-season training started in January. We have come a long way and we hope to do well in the A Division championships this year. However, we need your support. So do come down and support us if you can during our games. We hope to see all of you there!

Judo
Good morning CJC! For the first 2 weeks of April, we will be sending our Judo teams, both boys and girls to battle it out in the A Divisions National Judo Championships 2013. It will be a fierce, adrenaline-packed contest of physical endurance and wit as we pit ourselves against other JCs with more experienced players. Our CJ Judo team may be mostly inexperienced as most of us only started since last year, but nevertheless, our Judokas always train hard with conviction, such that we have managed to remain in the top three for the past few years. This time round, we strongly hope to bring more glory to our CCA and the school by getting into the finals and increasing our medal count for the individual championships. Once again, I present to you our CJC Judo team of 2013!

Hockey
Gopi: Good morning Mrs Kong, Mr Tan, Mr Lee, Dr Phua, teachers and fellow CJ-cians. I am Gopi. Amanda: and I'm Amanda and we're the captains of CJC hockey. We would first like to thank our teachers in charge, Mr Troy Chong, Mr Lim and Miss Tan for their undying support and guidance. Also, we would especially like to thank our seniors who have kindly taken time off their busy schedules to come down and help us with our trainings. The journey leading up to A- divs has been filled with many obstacles and setbacks but we have stuck together as a team abd here we are today to say that we are ready to enter the competition season and play our very best to do CJC proud. We believe that actions speak louder than words, so do come down and support us at our matches and see what the CJ hockey team is truly made of. Presenting to you, the CJ hockey team! CJ... Wolves!!!! Thank you!

Track & Field
Good morning Mrs Kong, Mr Tan, Mr Lee, teachers and fellow CJCians. Ever since we entered CJC, these brave athletes you see before you have been training their hearts out, puking and having near death experiences after every training session. Sometimes, even questioning the purpose of life after them. But from the 4th to the 17th of April, all their hard work and perseverance will be put to the test during the National Inter-School Track & Field Championships at Choa Chu Kang Stadium. Hopefully, we will be able to triumph against traditional powerhouses in our various events. If you can, we hope that you will come down to support us at the Choa Chu Kang Stadium, over the course of our Nationals. Directions to the stadium as well as the schedule of our various events will be put up on the Track notice board. Thank you! CJ CHASE!

Shooting
Good morning Mrs Kong, teachers and fellow CJCians, I’m Dahlia from shooting! Now, unlike most of the other CCAs, we cannot invite our friends and supporters down to our competition venue to cheer us on, as much as we wish all of you could be there. I am here today, on behalf of the Shooting club, to thank you all for the support thus far, both mentally and spiritually, from our friends wishing us luck before our competitions, to our teachers who are so accommodating of our absence from classes. I would also like to use this opportunity to especially thank our teachers-in-charge, Ms Ma, Mr Tan Lye Huat, Mr Gabriel and Mr Tan Wee Yong, for your constant care and guidance for us. Your continued emotional support means a lot to all of us and I, once again on behalf of the whole CCA, want to let you all know that we of CJC Shooting, promise to do our very best at every shot, bringing honor and glory to our school!! Thank you!

Canoeing
Good morning CJC,Today before you stand the 17 members of the canoeing team, men and women who will be racing during the A divison competition. We have trained our hardest, pushed beyond our limits and gone the distance. We have sacrificed blood, sweat, tears and our Saturday mornings just for this competition. It hasn't been easy. Is still isn't especially since we've had less than 2 years of training while some of our competitors have had 5. The odds may be stacked against us, but as you know odds are just numbers. And we didn't come all this way to let numbers define us. What defines is our hopes and dreams, our efforts and our determination. Because when the body fails, what pushes us on is up here in the mind. All this wouldnt have been possible without the help of Mr Lim, Ms Chia, Mr Pang, Mr Ha and Mr Chong. If you are free, please come down to Macritchie from 8-11 April to support us. CJC I present to you your canoeing team of 2013! AWAS GO! CJ CANOEING WOOSH!

Cross Country
"I am made of all the days you don’t see, not just the one you do." This is a quote by Jan Frodeno, and something highly relevant to Cross Country. Good morning Mrs Kong, Mr Tan, Mr Lee, teachers and fellow CJCians. My name is Kelvin, and I’m the Captain of the Cross Country team. Standing before you are 16 runners who have sacrificed a lot to run for the college. We trained, we cringed, we puked and we braved the storm together. Imagine having to wake up at 6am for 12km runs on Saturday mornings; it was never easy. But over the months, we have destroyed our personal bests, and we are ready to blaze a trail at Bedok Reservoir. A big thank you to all those who have supported us, especially Coach Mok, who have guided us to be mature racers and Mr Lim Zhiyi, who imparted much knowledge to us. Go hard or go home; it’s now or never. Thank you!

Gymnastics
Good morning everyone, Kristel: I’m Kristel! Alexiaa: I’m Alexiaa! Both: and, we are from Gymnastics! Kristel: Through the span of one year, we have trained hard and despite the difficulties faced, we did not falter but gave moral encouragement to each other. Since our competitions are approaching, I would like to use this opportunity to thank our teachers-in-charge, Miss Huang, Mr Yu and Miss Lin for taking time off their busy schedule to look after us during trainings, and also our coaches for giving us their all and providing us with constructive criticism to help us better ourselves in this sport. Their constant care and guidance has helped has helped us reach where we are today. Alexiaa: As gymnastics is a sport that requires long hours of trainings, we would like to garner your support for our efforts that we’ll be putting into this year’s A Divisions competition. Catch our gymnasts in action in this eye opening experience you don’t want to miss! For trampoline, it will be held at the CCAB on the 26th March. Rhythmic gymnastics will be held at Jurong Sports and Cultural Centre from the 10-12th April and the artistic gymnastics competition will be held at Bishan Sports Hall from the 23rd to the 26th of April.
