'Posters are insulting, demeaning'

Party posters misusing CHIJ school crest anger past and current students.

[Above: CHIJ alumnus K. Tan said the misuse of the school's badge in the poster, as seen in the Internet picture, was in poor taste.]
The poster was probably created to grab attention, and grab attention it did - but of the wrong sort.

It aroused anger among current and former CHIJ students.
Seen in Filter Members Club last Saturday during a theme party, the poster showed the CHIJ school crest with a slogan around it that read: "In need of a one night stand: CHIJ girls please stand up!"
The New Paper saw the poster in a photograph posted online yesterday. In the picture, a few girls were seen posing with the poster, smiling.
The picture was sent to the CHIJ School Board of Management of the 11 IJ schools here.
Said board chairman Vivienne Lim: "The use of the CHIJ school badge in the context of the picture is highly inappropriate and demeaning."
She added that it was also "insulting" to the "thousands of CHIJ alumni and current CHIJ students, some of whom are as young as six years old".
The Filter Members Club is on Nanson Road, next to Gallery Hotel.
On the club's Facebook page, the get-up for the party was stated as "scandalous school girls" and "East Coast preppy school boys".
