The new Alumni Insta Live series

This summer the SJII Alumni Association and the alumni relations office launched a new online series – ‘A Stroll Down Memory Lane’, featuring live Instagram chats with SJII Alumni Association committee members (or other alums eager to participate) and folks from our Alumni community. The planned chats were seen as a less formal and more fun way to get to know some of our alumni community members and friends better and also get a glimpse of what the SJII Alumni Association is up to!

The first live chat with an alum and a faculty member was held on Thursday 24 June with Dhanesh Thiru ’14 (our Alumni Association President) and longstanding HS faculty member, Mr Renato Rainone, currently serving as VP Curriculum, Teacher of Mathematics and Theory of Knowledge.

Dhanesh Thiru and Mr Renato Rainone talked about and shared their journeys, memories, and experiences at SJII, and it was an amusing hour that went by quickly and was attended by many alums on the platform who sent in a series of fun questions during the hour as well! Did you know that Mr Rainone has been at SJII since it first opened, and that he has interesting and entertaining stories to share about every batch that has graced these school halls? Dhanesh also asked Mr Rainone about what got him into teaching, what he would have done if he had not been a teacher (we think he said football player), and lots more fun things. It was a quick first hour of conversation, and we look forward to more Insta Live chats in the future. If you would like to watch the chat, go to @sjii_alumni on instagram and look for the post of the event on 24 June! You will enjoy it. We promise.

For students at SJI International days are full of classes, service opportunities, sports, music and many other activities, but what happens after they graduate? Every student or faculty member who leaves SJI International becomes an automatic member of the alumni association. Here is your guide to some of the services and resources available to the wider alumni community.

In July 2019 we launched the password protected online portal community to enable alumni and graduating students to connect professionally and to look for or be a mentor.
