Nathan Neo – Class of 2024

As House Captain, Nathan Neo (23-I4) embodied incredible maturity and initiative. His ability to critically adapt and communicate effectively made a significant impact on those around him.

“My EJC journey has been one of many highs and lows. However, each milestone has played an invaluable role in my learning and growth to be a better leader and a better friend to those around me. Looking back, the people that I have met during this journey taught me so much more than I could ever imagine, even when some of those lessons were undeniably challenging. To me, the biggest lesson that this community taught me is that in everything that we do, the bonds and relationships that we have forged is the most important takeaway. Even after graduating and moving on to a new phase of life, I am endlessly grateful for the people I have met; the same people who have seen and guided me in my time in EJC and beyond. 

I will never forget the moment that Isami won our first-ever championship during the 2024 J1 Orientation. It was especially memorable because of the events that led up to it, where we went through many setbacks and challenges together as a House. During those times, it was amazing to see how we kept our spirits and morale high throughout. Eventually, when our effort and energy paid off, I realised that we had come so far together as a House. I will always hold the unity and camaraderie displayed during Orientation close to my heart. 

I would like to thank my family for their constant support and understanding, especially on the days when I stayed out late for work or social gatherings. I am also grateful for my Housemasters and mistress, for walking this journey with me and guiding me to a better version of myself. To my fellow Captains and Vice-Captains from Isami and the other Houses, thank you for being such a passionate community that has been a significant part of my EJC journey. To my current J3 and J2 Isami House Committee and Isamigos, thank you for being my reason to keep going, for being such a vibrant and energetic community that will support each other through the wins and the losses.”
