IRINAH WARNING: This article was written by two Irinian girls and its contents are likely to be of a biased nature. Irinah House was named after Tuanku Ja’afar’s fifth child. It has been in existence since 1993,and its’ current Housemistress is the second, Miss Angie Lee. The mascot is the mighty mythical dragon which symbolises leadership and big egos. The house colour is bright orange, which symbolises strength and endurance. Irinah girls certainly have these qualities. With a strong will to win anything, one can hear the Irinah cheers at every competition. There are three cheers and they are as follows : (clap 3x) Irinah’s dynamite, don’t mess with dynamites! (Whooooo!!!) It’s hot in here. There must be some dragons in the atmosphere. (repeat verse twice) I said Iri-iri-nah, Hot, Hot, Hot! Here we go! Iri-iri-nah! Hot, Hot, Hot! (Whooooo!!) (clap 2x) Our dragon’s red hot! (clap 2x) Our dragon’s r-e-d, red, H-O-T, Hot. Once we start, we can’t be stopped. Red hot! (clap 2x) Red hot! (clap 2x) Our dragon’s red hot! At full house, Irinah boards 80 girls from different age groups ranging from 14 - 20 years old. Every birthday sees our personal house white board where all our important notices are written filled with birthday wishes. Our active, hungry girls can head to the pantry to eat instant foods, the most popular of which is the Maggie Mee instant noodle. The Mind Lab or the Library as more commonly known is our refuge for prep, reading and anything computer related for those who do not have laptops. Most of the time, permission is needed to be in the Mind Lab. The common room is where we gather for our weekly ‘house meetings’ to discuss issues of the house. It is also a place to watch television, play table tennis or snooker, and for students who are musically inclined to play their musical instruments. A finely tuned piano is part of the furniture there, along with comfortable chairs and peach coloured curtains. Decorating the walls of the corridors leading to the Mind Lab, Pantry, laundry room and Surau are various paintings and drawings with a strong Irinian related theme. Many of them depict our mighty dragon. Irinah is generally recognised as one of the strictest boarding houses in Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar, having our own specific rules and regulations. It teaches our girls discipline, and gives them a proper grounding on which they can mould their future success. Besides, an optimistic way of looking at our drills (the drill system is that of having to run four rounds up and down a certain length of road as a punishment for mild things such as coming back to the house late, sitting on the bed during prep time and such. Yes, we do believe in physical punishment…) is to think of it as an exercise, a way to keep fit and lose weight. There are 33 rooms, equipped with four, three or two beds, and even single bedded rooms reserved for the Upper Sixth Formers. Closets and desks are expected to be neat and tidy at all times, though not all of us are that concerned with such details. However, during our exeats (mini-breaks every third weekend) it is mandatory for closets to be cleaned and locked, and desks to be in spit spot order. Nothing is allowed under beds, so the bogeyman has no place to hide… No, no, nothing so sinister lurks in our welcoming and beloved boarding house. Walking in Irinah’s corridors, one truly gets a feeling of homeliness and comfort. Certainly it is our home away from home.

Game facilities there are only two game facilities:

// Kolej Tuanku Ja’arfar, the road to success; // // Loyalty, Learning, Leadership, giving our best, // // Cherishing the bonds we make, // // Learning to give and take: // // Together we stand, hand in hand. // // Kolej Tuanku Ja’arfar, the road to success. // // Kolej Tuanku Ja’arfar, we name you with pride, // // A close-knit, caring family that stands side by side, // // We’ll always strive to do our best, // // To persevere, to show the rest: // // We shall achieve, what we believe. // // Kolej Tuanku Ja’arfar, we name you with pride. // This is the recent school song of Kolej Tuanku Ja’arfar(KTJ) composed in 2003. The lyrics are composed by three form six students: Daros Mark Koding, Jonanna Ho S.E. and Kerina Shah. The lyrics are easy to understand without any further explanation. This allows all students ranging from form 1 to form 6 to comprehend it. The picture shows the school badge of KTJ. It consists of three colours:- grey, white and maroon. Each colour has its own meaning. Firstly, grey refers to the strength to endure grey areas of life. White means purity. Lastly, maroon stands for the strength and quality, also complements the grey areas. The shape of the badge resembles Megeri Sembilan’s crest, as it is under the patronage of Tuanku Ja’afar, the ruler of this state. The tree symbolizes KTJ students metaphorically. The seed for KTJ students(tree) is knowledge, which is represented here by the book under the tree writing the school motto: Loyalty, Learning and Leadership. The path represents the pathway to success; education. Under the badge printed the school motto written in malay: Kempimpinan, Berilmu and Kesetian. Kepimpinan means Leadership, Berilmu is the importance of the learning aspect. Kesetiaan refers to the loyalty to the school and probably to the Di-Pertuan Agong.

It comprises of student representatives from each class and a male and female upper six. The council meets twice a term where the welfare of the school is discussed.

Most of the suggestions given are considered under the close scrutiny of the principal, Mr. Walter Jones. Thus, the student council plays a vital and very effective role in the administration of kolej tuanku ja' afar.
