• Nanyang Junior College (NYJC), founded in 1978, is located at Serangoon Avenue 3.
• NYJC was the seventh junior college (JC) to be built and its construction was aimed at meeting the rising demand for JC education.Its inaugural batch of 600 students enrolled in January 1978 and were temporarily housed at the then Westlake Secondary School. After the Serangoon campus was completed, the school moved to its present site in December the same year.
• As the campus sits on a small hill and the air could get misty at times in the 1980s and 1990s, NYJC came to be known as “白云岗” (literally, “white cloud hill”).

At 6 am, the sky was pale like the belly of a fish. The Nanyang Junior College uniform that I had worn for two years lay quietly in the wardrobe, and I felt the memory of a tender breeze on my face. (Lianhe Zaobao, 19/9/2000)

• In 1999, NYJC became the third school (after Hwa Chong Junior College and Temasek Junior College) to offer the Language Elective Programme (LEP), which had been launched by the Ministry of Education in 1990.
• “我们的白云岗” (literally, “our white cloud hill”) is an annual drama production organised by the NYJC Chinese Cultural Society. It gives students with acting talent a stage to perform, and offers opportunities to learn skills like stage design, prop design, costume design, and sound and lighting control.
