Some write up about TJC Guitar Ensemble:-
“Since the opening of Temasek Junior College in 1977, Guitar Club is one of the acclaimed Performing Arts CCAs in the College. Guitar Club members have showcased quality guitar skills during events such as concerts as well as performances within and outside of the College.
Starting in 2012, the Ensemble welcomes its pioneer batch of Integrated Programme (IP) Year 2 guitarists, under the guidance of Mr Jacob Leong. This year, the Ensemble is happy to have 19 IP Year 1 guitarists who are new to the ensemble. The current strength of the IP ensemble stands at 54 with members from IP Year 1 to IP Year 4. This year is also the first year which the ensemble comprising of IP Year 2 to 4 from our Integrated Programme participated in the Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation (Secondary School Category).

Below is the small write up of the event:
“Colours and music will interweave, in an evening featuring recycled art! Be amazed at how daily used items can be transformed into art works with an infusion of creativity and dedication. Be prepared to see art installations featuring glow-in-the-dark materials and a unique sound garden which will awaken your senses.
Look out for a total of 9 façade art across Bishan – Toa Payoh GRC, co-created by more than 2,000 residents with professional visual artists.”
Organised by Australia in Singapore, Come Jun 28, the heartlands — from Jurong to Tampines — will be alight with 50 Aussie-style barbecues, as part of the Australian High Commission’s celebrations to mark Singapore’s Golden Jubilee, as well as 50 years of friendship between the two nations.
The barbecues will be held at 22 sites across the island, including Toa Payoh Central Community Club, Jem Shopping Mall, Block 516 Tampines Central 7, Punggol East Road and Haji Lane.
About 500 Australian volunteers will be firing up the grills to serve 10,000 beef and lamb steaks which weigh 1,000kg in total, about the weight of an average car.
The event will bring Australians and Singaporeans together “to share our mutual love of good food and a chat”, said Australian High Commissioner Philip Green in a statement announcing the barbecue locations.
The 50 BBQs event is the last of Australia’s 50 Bridges arts and community programme to celebrate SG50. Singaporeans can also take part in the 50 Bridges photo contest where they can submit up to 20 photos of either 50 Walls artworks or a 50 BBQs event, capturing the Australian-Singaporean relationship in a creative way.
They stand to win a pair of return business class tickets to Melbourne.
For more details about the competition and the list of sites for 50 BBQs, visit sg50oz.sg or the Australia In Singapore Facebook page.
