MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
St. Joseph’s Institution International
2021 marked another year in which the Covid-19 pandemic restricted our travel, our ability to spend time with friends and family, and even how we were able to study and work.
“The experiences of 2020 and 2021 have shown that our SJI International community is a cohesive and resilient one, and that together, we can overcome adversity and emerge stronger and better.” 4
Despite these challenges, the last 12 months also provided an opportunity for us to demonstrate our belief and commitment in living our Lasallian values of Community, Service, Faith, Excellence and Respect. In adversity, we have seen the strength and resilience of our SJI International community. Our adoption of technology-enabled platforms supported not only the continued delivery of curriculum with remote learning but also provided parental access to special events and student showcases via live streaming. Despite limitations in a physical audience, the Elementary School managed to hold a series of ‘Let’s Go Solo’ virtual concerts and the High School shared virtual performances of ‘Agatha Rex’ and ‘Bach in Black’ during the Music, Arts, Drama, Design and Dance showcase. The highlight of our streamed events was undoubtedly the ‘Class of 2021 Graduation’ which took place in November, providing well-deserved recognition to the Grade 12 cohort, of whom we are all incredibly proud.
