We are pleased to announce that four members of the Jurong Pioneer Junior College family have been conferred the National Day Award (NDA) by the Prime Minister’s Office in 2020. The NDA recipients are:

Our Vice-Principal (Education) Mr Nah Hong Leong, was conferred the Commendation Medal (Pingat Kepujian). Instituted in 1996, the Medal may be awarded to a person who has distinguished himself through commendable performance and conduct, or significant efficiency, competence and devotion to duty. We would like to recognise and commend Mr Nah for his devotion to making a difference in the lives of both staff and students, and commitment to improving holistic outcomes in the Education Service.

Our Full-Time School Counsellor, Ms Estelle Chia Sock Ying, was conferred the Efficiency Medal (Pingat Berkebolehan). Instituted in 1969, the Medal may be awarded to individuals for exceptional efficiency or exceptional devotion to duty or for work of special significance. We are deeply appreciative of Ms Chia’s tireless dedication to and great passion in supporting the well-being of both students and staff.

Mdm Goh and Mdm Lee have made many invaluable contributions, through their unwavering commitment to quality education and shaping both the hearts and minds of students.

In view of the ongoing national effort to minimise risk of local COVID-19 transmission through large scale events, the Ministry of Education has decentralised the presentation of NDA medals to HQ Divisions and schools. Our Principal, Dr Hang Kim Hoo, presented the medals and certificates to all recipients on July 15, 2021.
