Brief History
The Tampines Junior College Student Council , set up in 1986, has a long history of serving the student population and upholding the college's values.
The TPJC Council acts as a link between the College Administration and the student body in order to establish interactions, greater understanding and a more effective working relationship.
The Student Council is not just another co-curricular activity. It is the student representation of the highest standing, subject to the authority of the Principal. The highest office a student can hold in College is that of President of the Student Council, and his/her services are acknowledged by the College.
The Student Council has heavy responsibilities that extend beyond planning, organising and executing projects for the college It is also involved in close discussion with the college administration on general school feedback, with the result that the college now has its own official polo T-shirts that can be worn on Fridays; running day-to-day events such as the morning assembly and flag raising; taking the initiative in leading the school to rally together for a common cause, such as the fundraising done for the Indonesian Tsunami victims in 2006; and organising ad hoc activities as and when new ideas surface, such as the Good News Cafe beside the G Block, which was the result of intense campaigning by the 21st Council (2006-2007).
The College believes in moulding its student leaders to the best of their ability. As such, the college gives priority to the Student Councillors when it comes to talks, seminars, symposiums and conventions. Every year, two councillors from the college represent the school at the Prime Minister's National Day Rally Speech, the Budget speech, and other events of national importance, such as PM Lee Hsien Loong's inauguration at the Istana in 2004. In addition, councillors receive luminaries and other distinguished guests to the College, together with the principal. For instance, councillors were chairpersons for a dialogue that was held with the Minister of State for Education, RAdm Lui Tuck Yew,in 2007; as ushers and guests for another dialogue involving five members of parliament to the school in 2007; as well as ushers and general helpers at the launch of the European Union's programme for schools in Singapore, with more than 10 ambassadors representing their respective European countries coming down to the college to celebrate this highly anticipated event.
The TPJC Student Council affords its members the opportunity to gain real-life experiences in managing large-scale events. TPJC councillors learn how to deal with a myriad of people from a diverse range of backgrounds, understand the value of time management skills, have the privilege of interacting with a large proportion of the student body and develop critical thinking skills in managing unexpected situations and unforeseen circumstances.
The College places a high level of trust on its Councillors, and the Student Council itself expects the highest level of professional conduct and integrity on the part of its members. Student Councillors are role models for the rest of the student population, and are champions of the students' concerns, hopes and aspirations. (Credits to Wikipedia: Tampines Junior College)

The Council Oath
We, the Student Councillors of Tampines Junior College,
Do hereby solemnly pledge before the assembly of fellow TPJCians,
That we will always serve the college faithfully
We will promote the college spirit and identity with zeal and fervour
To always set and uphold college tradition
To endeavor to fulfill the students' needs and to strive always
To fufill our duties to the best of our abilities
The Council Song: A New Chapter Begins
It took a minute of our lives
To step forward to serve
We braved through all the challenges,
Together we strived, together we persevered.
We've learnt a lot through the years.
We'll treasure their laughter and the tears.
Now we're here with heavy hearts to part.
We'll think of yesterday, forever and for always.
Chorus
A new chapter begins,
Forever council what we'll always be.
With "Commitment in Duty"
Forever burning in our hearts,
We will never lose our hopes, memories etched in our minds.
Let us keep the ties that bind us,
As this new chapter starts.
Ready to serve with pride,
We will scale the trodden heights
Let us now join our hands together,
Reaching for success, we'll strive for excellence.
Never will our spirits fade away,
Braving through the changing tides.
Cos' we know that you will always be there,
In spirit and in soul, to guide and to inspire.
