CHIJMES Singapore, now Chijmes Hall began in 1854 as the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ), a Catholic convent, girls' school and orphanage. The building grew into an important educational and shelter centre. 'MES' was added to the name, so the pronunciation 'CHIJMES' sounds like the English word 'chimes' (chimes).
