Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ) Secondary (Toa Payoh) is an autonomous school located in Singapore, was founded in 1845.
. It is as the name suggests, a catholic, secondary school for females and is part of the IJ family of 11 schools. Currently, the school is renovated and the new location is at Toa Payoh Lorong 1.
The school motto is Simple Dans Ma Vertu, Forte Dans mon Devoir which is 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 occupies the Ang Mo Kio plot.
By way of a 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 also wear a tie. 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.
CHIJ girls are known to be creative and extremely eloquent.
