Student Council
Find out how the NYJC Student Council represents students, organises college events, and supports student well-being through its committees.
The Nanyang Junior College Student Council serves as the main medium of communication between the school management and the student body. It strives to ensure that the voice of every NYJCian is heard and that their well-being is prioritised. The Student Council also plays a key role in overseeing various student activities and initiatives that serve the collective interests of the school community. To achieve these objectives, the Student Council is divided into three distinct committees: College Image and Bonding (CIB), Student Affairs (SA) and Welfare (WELCO).
The seven-member Executive Committee forms the policy-making and leadership core of the Council, comprising the President, three Vice-Presidents, and the Heads of the three committees. The Executive Committee ensures that all programmes and events helmed by the Student Council align with the College’s mission and values.
The College Image and Bonding Committee (CIB) promotes school spirit and fosters connections within the college community. CIB manages college publicity campaigns through the heynanyang Instagram page and oversees college merchandise. They are also the proud caretakers of Nyla, our beloved college mascot, who represents the vibrant and dynamic spirit of NYJC. Whether it's posing for photos at events or spreading cheer around campus, Nyla embodies the heart of our college spirit. The committee also organises National School Games (NSG) cheering, a key highlight that unites the NYJC family through shared moments of school spirit. Events like Friendship Day further foster camaraderie among students.
The Student Affairs Committee (SA) acts as a vital link between the school leaders and the student body. SA ensures students’ voices are heard through regular feedback sessions where NYJCians share suggestions to improve their school experience. The committee also organises the annual Principal’s Dialogue, where students engage with the school leaders to discuss pertinent issues affecting the student body. Additionally, SA manages NYUtopia, the Student Lounge, which offers recreational activities like foosball and board games as well as NYArcade, an area featuring basketball machines and other leisure equipment for students to unwind and recharge. SA is also responsible for managing the school blazer and tie loaning system and handles BBQ pit bookings, complete with charcoal and essentials to make it more convenient for NYJCians.
The Welfare Committee (WELCO) focuses on initiatives that enhance the quality of life for all NYJCians. WELCO runs NYCares, a welfare initiative that provides snacks and stationery to support students and boost morale across the school year, especially in the lead-up to the year-end examinations. For graduating students, WELCO runs J2 Well Wishes, an initiative featuring graduation gifts with inspiring quotes and a vibrant origami display in the atrium. The committee also leads Project Appreciate, an annual effort to recognise and show gratitude to the college’s Executive and Administrative Staff (EAS). Through meaningful interactions and thoughtful gestures, WELCO celebrates the contributions of EAS, fostering a deeper sense of connection and recognition.
In addition to the three standing committees, major committees are formed to plan and execute key college events such as J1 Orientation and the recruitment of the next batch of councillors. Ad hoc committees are formed to plan other specific, targeted college events, including Teachers’ Day Celebrations, which honour and appreciate the contributions of the college’s staff; Dinner & Dance, which serves as a meaningful send-off for graduating students; and The NYght, a showcase of talent where students take the stage to perform and compete. Each councillor is involved in a main committee, an ad hoc committee, and a major committee, ensuring a holistic experience in event planning and execution.
