TOUCHING HEARTS, TEACHING MINDS Throughout the year we have been observing “The Year of Lasallian Vocations” in observance of the 300th Anniversary of the passing of St. John Baptist de La Salle. The Founder’s death, on 7 April 1719 in Rouen, France, also represents the passing on to us of the mission of Lasallian education. This issue of Humanitas celebrates your support of the mission, and the contributions of so many people whose generosity makes it possible for us to continue the work of De La Salle at SJI International.

We sometimes refer to the Lasallian mission as one of “touching hearts and teaching minds.” The theme of the tercentenary year has been “De La Salle: One Heart, One Commitment, One Life.” So it is with grateful hearts thank we acknowledge the generous commitment of all who contribute to the life of St. Joseph’s Institution International.

Humanitas invites us to reflect on the past of our school, with updates from former students. It also highlights the wonderful things happening at school today, with reflections from three of our Scholars.

Our commitment to the future of SJI International is evidenced by your support of our Scholarship and Building Funds acknowledged herein.

In 1719, De La Salle and the early Brothers could not have imagined that three hundred years later the work they began in France would be transforming the lives of children in 80 countries of the world. We thank God for the legacy bequeathed to us by the Founder. We thank you for keeping this legacy alive!

2007

The year SJI International offered its first Scholarships

As a Lasallian School, SJI International strives to bring education to all, especially the last, the lost and the least. The SJI International Scholarship Programme was originally set up to attract outstanding students, regardless of background, and it has played an important role in allowing SJI International to become a school that is widely recognised for its outstanding academic results within a very holistic programme.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 10TH BIRTHDAY BASH It was a fantastic evening for our community last 13 April as we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of our Elementary School (ES) with a party full of performances, games, food and laughter at the Sports Hall.

There’s no better way to begin the celebration than have some of our children perform our school’s 10th Anniversary Song, Giving Back, Looking Forward, followed by some superb performances from our student musicians. Afterwards, ES Principal Mr Kevin Hannah took the stage to show some school photos over the past 10 years, reminding all of us to be thankful to everyone who in one way or another has contributed to this wonderful school that we have today.

Around the hall, there were stalls for children to enjoy and the buffet offered a delicious variety of foods for everyone to share.

Mr Hannah shared that the highlight of the evening for him was the disco with the children making the most of the opportunity to dance the night away, especially since all the songs were

selected by the children and each was greeted with a cheer and unbridled enthusiasm.

Huge thanks go out to everyone involved in the organisation of the party, particularly to our members of staff and EPSG. Happy 10th birthday, SJIIES!

SCHOLARS’ REFLECTIONS THE POWER OF A THANKFUL HEART

Sophuth Phon Cambodia

Jiayi Zhu Singapore

Le Tri Lam Vietnam

“SJI International is a very supportive community where choices are not judged upon, where well-being is a crucial aspect of teaching, and where the service-oriented nature turns students into people of others.

“The scholarship has opened doors of opportunities for me both academic and non-academic - and inspired me to look beyond greater horizons. Our teachers and staff always go the extra mile to ensure that everyone is taken care of not just in academics but our wellbeing as well.”

“SJI International has a community like no other. Adapting to Singapore’s environment becomes less difficult with friends around. I didn’t expect everyone here to be so welcoming and friendly, even though I’m fairly new and I come from a different country.

I look up to the school motto “Enter to Learn Leave to Serve” and that’s basically my mission in life, to serve those who don’t have the opportunities that I had, to give them a chance at a better life.”

Nguyen Thi Hong Vietnam

Through more than 2 years studying in SJI International, I have realized that, if I have been taking things for granted, then I should also be faithful, responsible and willing to help everyone else, just like those who have given me the precious opportunities.”

“This scholarship has given me access to holistic education and opened up so many new opportunities. I feel blessed, proud, and very grateful as this scholarship changed the path of my life completely, granting me a major learning experience and life-lasting friendships. I was able to partake in a plethora of extracurricular activities, sports, and services. I have learnt so much about giving back to the community through my memorable challenge week to Savong School in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Staff at SJII not only supported me academically but also cared for my wellbeing, and I am tremendously grateful for the Host Family Programme especially which made me feel at home. I cannot thank you enough for this invaluable experience and will continue to give back to the community through service projects in the future.

Some of our current scholars reflect on what the scholarship means to them, what they have learned on their journey so far, and how they plan to give back to the world and their communities in the future.

Crystabel Chua Singapore “The culture of service to others is central to what defines SJI International as a school - we have lots of opportunities to serve marginalised communities not just in Singapore but in other parts of the world as well.”

“

Janssen Tanuwijaya Indonesia

To be given the opportunity to be a part of SJI International is, as many before me have and many more after will say, truly extraordinary. I am exposed not only to exceptional studying experience but also to various wonderful individuals from which I learn things that are not taught in school, rather, can only be acquired as we embark on our life journey. This scholarship is my platform 9 3/4, it brings me to a new world full of magic that no words of gratitude would suffice. I would like to express my gratitude for this experience by living up to the school motto, enter to learn and leave to serve. Simple yet powerful, that is what SJI International has taught me about service.

”

THE IMPACT OF SUPPORT

Three of our scholars from the Class of 2018 reflect on their time and journey at SJI International.

UNFAMILIAR WATERS Growing up, I changed many schools as my family relocated often. The past four years at SJII have been unlike my experience at any other school.

The community of staff and students here make each day at school enjoyable and enriching. The dedication of teachers and enthusiasm of my peers encouraged me to work harder and set higher targets for myself.

Receiving the IB Diploma Josephian Scholarship augmented this. It motivated me to make the most of every opportunity I was given, not only academically, but also involving myself in other facets of school life. As a member of the Lasallian Youth, I helped organise school assemblies, plan events such as Total Defense Day and attended the Lasallian Youth Leaders Conference in Malaysia - an experience which opened my eyes to the philanthropic efforts of the Lasallian family across the globe. I took part in a variety of CCAs ranging from Model United Nations to Trampolining and even had the opportunity to represent SJII in Touch Rugby.

The school’s motto - ‘Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve’has become an integral part of my personal value system. At school, I was involved in service activities ranging from teaching victims of child trafficking in Hanoi during Challenge Week to delivering food to AIDS patients at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and cleaning cages at an animal shelter. In Grade 11, I

collaborated with a friend to establish ‘Robotics Unbound’, an initiative providing robotics workshops to less privileged and differently abled students. We realised the need for such an initiative while interning at a robotics training center. In today’s world, where technology is omnipresent, programming skills have become nearly essential. However, due to the high cost associated with equipment not everyone has the opportunity to acquire these skills. Collaborating with Lego, we hosted workshops at children’s homes around Singapore. Even after graduation, I am continuing to work upon this project and hope to expand its reach beyond Singapore.

As I reflect upon the past four years, I could not be more grateful for the opportunity to attend SJI International. It has given me countless joyous memories to cherish and inculcated in me the values of integrity, respect and compassion, which will help me navigate the unfamiliar waters I am about to enter as I make my way through university and beyond.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME I embarked on this three-year scholarship journey back in 2016. Moving abroad to Singapore was daunting, yet also exciting.

Fuelled with the will to learn and thrilled with the prospect of learning new cultures, I was determined to make the best out of this once in a lifetime opportunity.

It only took me less than a month to make SJI International my second home. The students and staff were very welcoming, they made it extremely easy for me to transition from life in Indonesia to life in Singapore. Their kindness is so contagious that it inspired me to be selfless and willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve the common goal. During my first year, I was introduced to the concept of service learning and the importance of giving back. By utilising the school’s abundant resources, I had the opportunity to participate in many different service activities. The experience was enriching, not only was I able to meet and interact with new people but I also learned a

handful amount of interpersonal skills that were useful in my leadership roles. Participating in student-led clubs such as key club and senior council taught me some useful organisation skills and how important teamwork is in achieving success.

With the help of the brilliant teachers and friends in SJI International, I was able to achieve satisfying results in my IB Diploma. Considering my interest in the Sciences and my passion in service activities, I plan to take medicine in university. One of the things I plan to do during my gap year is learning how to speak Chinese.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH It is undeniable that not only has my three-year journey at SJI International created so many unforgettable memories of my high school life, it has also changed me into a more organised, responsible and mature individual.

Being surrounded by friends from different nationalities, as well as participating in a myriads of cultural extracurricular activities such as Gamelan and Cultural Harmony Day, I was able to learn to appreciate the beauty of other cultures, while at the same time being able to showcase and take pride in my own cultural heritage to my peers. I finally become a global citizen who understand the wonders of various cultures thanks to SJII’s mission to cultivate a culturally harmonious environment.

I was also very fortunate to be a part of the Student Council, where I was able to exercise leadership in organizing my own initiatives such as Secret Santa and Well-being Week. Although it was actually one of my first time acting as a leader to organise a school-wide event, I was

very fortunate to receive a helping hand from my fellow experienced council members. This invaluable experience has shaped me into a more able and organised leader.

Additionally, such traits were further emphasized during Challenge Week, one of my favorite memory during my IB journey where students were wholly responsible for the preparation of a 7-day service trip. Now that I have graduated from SJI International, fully prepared for the next chapter of my life at Colgate University, I feel very grateful for all the opportunities for growth that the scholarship has given me.

“The time management and critical thinking skills which were honed back in SJI International are certainly important skills for me as I fight my way to make the best out of my time here in university.

What’s more, the holistic approach of teaching that SJI International had offered to me is also another plus point in terms of actively engaging myself in many different types of activities other than studying, which I think actually supports my study in a very meaningful way. Last but not least, the global perspective that I gained and the friendships that I had back in SJI International really play an important part of who I am today.

“My time at SJI International has been 3 of the most fortunate years of my life. There are just so many things I could reflect upon, but one thing really stands out. Not only I was given the exposure to other cultures from my international friends, but surprisingly I was getting closer to mine than ever before. I am from Indonesia, and yet it was at SJII where I first touched and played Gamelan, a traditional musical instrument indigenous to Bali, Indonesia. It was also at SJI International the first time I touched, read, and enjoyed Indonesian works of literature. Hard to believe that I became more aware and respectful towards my own culture when I am a hundred miles away from home. And sure, the IB experience was great and all, but it was there at SJI International where we all come to celebrate and appreciate various cultures as an international community. Looking back, I truly am grateful to have taken that scholarship opportunity. It was not all about the numbers after all!”

“This scholarship not only provided financial support, it also transformed me into a person who is now capable of approaching different issues from multiple perspectives. Studying in an international environemtn gives me the chance to interact with people of diverse nationalities and religions, from which I started to look at a matter from their perspective and in doing so, glean a better understanding of their actions and behaviours. Some come from well-to-do families while others come from a less fortunate background. By aligning to our Lasallian ideology, I will aspire to carry on the idea of being “people of integrity and people for others.”

“My experiences in IB has inspired me to do something that can make a positive impact on the world. I’m not talking about world-scale but at least, doing what I can when I have the capabilities and right circumstances to do so. Hence, I am now working towards my new-found desire to help protect the ocean and marine life. In the near future, once I enter the working field, I aspire to use my knowledge and skills to give back to the world by developing medicine through the use of biochemistry and biotechnology.”
