Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ) Secondary (Toa Payoh) is an autonomous school located in Singapore, was founded in 1845. As its name suggests, it is a Catholic secondary school for females and is part of the IJ family of 11 schools. The school has just been renovated and moved back in January 2006 to their Toa Payoh Lorong 1 site after having spent two years (2004 and 2005) at a holding site in Thomson Road.
The school motto is Simple Dans Ma Vertu, Forte Dans mon Devoir, which means Simple in Virtue, Steadfast in Duty.
The school first started in Victoria Street and was known as the Town Convent. After it was forced to move out from its premises at Victoria Street, the school was given two plots of lands, one in Toa Payoh and the other in Ang Mo Kio. CHIJ Primary and Secondary (Toa Payoh) now occupy the Toa Payoh plot while CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls' School occupies the Ang Mo Kio plot.
With regards to uniform, all CHIJ schoolgirls wear a knee-length blue pinafore with a belt, and a white blouse with a Peter-Pan collar beneath the pinafore, as well as white socks and white shoes. Prefects wear a pin above the school badge. There different types of prefectorial badges, trainee prefect (green), prefect (white) and 'noblesse oblige' for counsellers - just below the vice-head prefect in rank. There are slight variations between the CHIJ schools in the form and design of the badges worn on the pinafore, but all carry the same IJ crest. Apart from the crest on the pinafore, you can differentiate the students from the socks they wear and how high their belt is worn.
The school celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2004.
