MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN

017 marked SJI International’s 10th Anniversary, a proud milestone for all of us. As we look forward to our next decade and beyond, we remain steadfast in our mission to deliver the best all-round education for our students. Our first 10 years have been made possible through the support of our parents who have chosen to send their children to SJI International; the hard work and dedication of our staff; and the continued generosity of our benefactors, donors and volunteers; to each and every one of our parents, staff and supporters – on behalf of the Board of Governors and school management, I wish to express my deepest appreciation and gratitude. In this Annual Report, we will share the highlights of all that the school has achieved in 2017, from the academic and co-curricular accomplishments of our students, to the many unique character-building projects and charitable causes that the school has been involved in. We will also provide details
St . Josep h ’s In stitutio n Inte rnatio nal Annual Rep o r t 201 7
of the stewardship of the school’s resources by the Board and Management to ensure that SJI International is a high-performing, effective and efficient not-for-profit private international school of choice in Singapore. It is also in this report that we celebrate the graduation of the Class of 2017 and wish them well as they begin the next phase of their journey to be upstanding men and women for others. As in previous years, SJI International students recorded many significant milestones and achievements in 2017. I will just highlight a few of them here. Our World Scholar’s Cup team were crowned champions and 12 of our students were awarded with the NYAA Gold standard. Six students embarked upon our first international student exchange programme with six students spending two weeks in Switzerland and in turn reciprocating as hosts. Yet, these accomplishments do not end after our students leave SJI International. Our alumni, Ardon Pillay (Class of 2016) was awarded the SINDA Excellence Award and Ferenc Gutai (Class of 2012) won the Findacure Annual Student
We seek to provide the best all-round education to each of our students, as they each develop and grow in their own ways to fulfil their potential.

Beyond the accolades and successes, it is most heartening that our students continue to exhibit their allround capabilities and expand their horizons beyond the classroom. As we embark on the next phase of SJI International’s exciting journey after marking our 10th anniversary in 2017, we will continue to be guided by our Lasallian Mission to create an environment to nurture and support our students so that they can become men and women of integrity and honour who enter SJI International to learn and leave to serve.

ABOUT US
ST. JOSEPH’S INSTITUTION INTERNATIONAL
ST. JOSEPH’S INSTITUTION INTERNATIONAL INTRODUCTION SJI International is a non-profit coeducational school with a Lasallian Catholic foundation. It offers a holistic, values-driven and international educational experience to a diverse student body of more than 47 nationalities rooted in the context of Singapore. Our community welcomes students, teachers, parents, friends and supporters of all faiths and cultural backgrounds.
Established in 2007, SJI International is one of just three schools in Singapore with a licence to educate both Singaporean and international students for the high school. The realisation of the vision of SJI International was a labour of love for a team of alumnus of Saint Joseph’s Institution (SJI) who, having benefitted so profoundly from their own education at SJI, one of Singapore’s oldest and most respected schools, then sought a way to offer Singaporean and expatriate children a similar life-changing experience. SJI International opened its High School in 2007 and its Elementary School in 2008. Together they are part of a group of seven Lasallian institutions in Singapore with a history dating back to 1852. The school is overseen by the SJI International Board of Governors, comprising mainly
SJI alumni. The school’s patron is fellow Josephian Dr. Tony Tan, President of the Republic of Singapore. SJI International has been notable over the years for its capacity to develop leaders of Singapore society, including members of the current government. Underpinning the remarkable success of SJI and SJI International has been the role played by the De La Salle Christian Brothers. The Lasallian Brotherhood embodies the tradition of St. John Baptist de La Salle, the French priest who, in 1680, started this order of religious Brothers dedicated to bringing education to all, especially ‘the last, the lost and the least’. Its cornerstone values are faith, community and service. Today there are 3,600 Lasallian Brothers and about 90,000 Lasallian teachers working in 80 countries around the world.
7
SCHOOL ETHOS While welcoming children from all backgrounds and faiths, our ethos, values and principles have a firm foundation in the Catholic faith and the 337-year tradition of the De La Salle Brothers.
We are a school where people are important and relationships are valued, underpinned by The Virtues Project in the Elementary School and SMILES (Spirituality, Mutual Respect, Internationalism, Leadership, Experiences, and Service) in the High School. Our team of caring and dedicated teachers strive to create an environment where children can grow and
develop in a safe and nurturing atmosphere. Our students are empowered to be resilient and critical inquirers. We aim to inspire an enthusiasm and curiosity for learning, as well as encourage the pursuit of excellence and achievement of personal best in all endeavours.
8
We strive to nurture students who:
are sensitive and considerate in their dealings with other people
lack prejudice and are enterprising in establishing relations with people who are different from them
are willing to lead and to accept responsibility in society, particularly in order to serve others
are risk-takers
are willing to seek challenging experiences that will facilitate their personal growth
strive to make full use of their talents
St . Josep h ’s In stitutio n Inte rnatio nal Annual Rep o r t 201 7
LASALLIAN VALUES The Five Core Principles of Lasallian Schools
Faith in the Presence of Concern for the Poor and Social Justice
We believe in the living presence of God in our students, in our community and in our world.
Faith
We are in solidarity with the poor and advocate for those suffering from injustices.
Service
Quality Education We engage in quality education together as students, staff, and faculty by thinking critically and examining our world in light of faith.
Respect for All Persons
Community
We honour and respect the dignity of all individuals.
Inclusive Community We celebrate diversity and welcome all members of our community.
W
e are proud of our Lasallian Catholic heritage and offer many opportunities for Catholic children to explore and deepen their faith. They may participate in weekly catechism classes, daily prayers and weekly Mass in the school chapel. We also offer classes for preparation for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion. With children from 47 nations at the school, our community includes families from diverse backgrounds. We are a school where the culture, faith and traditions of each child are respected and celebrated. The character education programme, underpinned by the Virtues Project and the SMILES Values, provides the vehicle for character development and, being non-
denominational, is appropriate for all students regardless of the culture, faith and traditions of their family. The religious education programme we offer is intended to deepen a student’s conviction in his or her own belief, as well as to create in our students a
9 deeper understanding and appreciation of people’s differences, religious as well as cultural, in order to make the world a more peaceful place. We stimulate the inter-religious relationship by including the study of Lasallian tradition and heritage within the religious education curriculum.
10TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS St Joseph’s Institution International opened its doors in 2007. The first High School intake comprised 104 students. There were 14 teaching staff with Br Michael Broughton as our Brother President and Mr Andrew Bennett as Founding Principal. The Elementary School would open one year later under the leadership of Mrs Louise Grant.

e invited the school’s founding staff, students and donors back to the campus for a special event to launch an eighteen-month programme of celebrations of the school’s 10th anniversary. These celebrations will culminate in 2018 with the Elementary School’s 10th Anniversary celebrations. Leadership Council members, founding staff and some alumni from our first-ever batch of students gathered to reminisce and celebrate with our founding Brother President, Br Michael Broughton; founding High School Principal Mr Andrew Bennett; and founding Elementary School Principal Mrs Louise Grant. Six pioneer staff - Susi Teo, Glenis Chng, Sherry Ng, Sam Lim, Chia Puay Leng, and Matthew Zagrodnik - were honoured with long service medallions for their commitment and dedication to the school.
M
usic, balloons, popcorn, a food truck, face painting and joyfulness all round - what more could our students hope for from a party? The 10th Birthday Bash in March ticked off all those boxes and more, as our Sports Hall was converted into a bright and colourful party venue, and our community was treated to musical performances, excellent food, fun photo booths and even some dancing. Students, friends, families and teachers - both young and the young-at-heart - were unanimous in rating the High School Birthday Bash a perfect “10”.

T
he formal 10th Anniversary Dinner, held at The Ritz-Carlton Millenia in May, brought the SJI International community together again for an elegant evening of celebration. The Guest-of-Honour was Dr Tony Tan, President of the Republic of Singapore and a patron of our school. Attendees included ex-Josephians on the Leadership Council and Board of Governors; students, parents and teachers from both the High School and Elementary School; and other friends of the school. $3.6 million was pledged to the school at this fundraising dinner. These donations will go towards our Building and Development Fund, as we build our reserves in preparation for our future school build when the current lease expires in 2022. The event showcased the diverse student talent at the school, with art, dance and music performances throughout the evening. The highlight of the night was the special 10th Anniversary Song performance by a massive 120-strong combined Elementary and High School Choir and Orchestra. Lyrics for this special song were written by students and their families, with music scoring done by Head of Music, Mrs Thorpe.

A
bout 80 former students and staff descended upon the Glass Hall in July, to reconnect with one another at the annual Alumni Summer Reunion. Mr Rainone, Head of Senior School, opened the evening with a heartwarming welcome message, followed by a keynote address from the President of the Alumni Association, Ian Ernst Chai (Class of 2009), a Deputy Public Prosecutor in the Attorney-General’s Chambers. Attendance included graduands from every class of graduation, including 5 from the founding batch. There was no shortage of banter throughout the night, with attendees reminiscing about their days on campus and updating old friends on their careers and adventures since then. Seeing the past, present, and future come together at the Alumni Reunion was a powerful affirmation that friendships forged at SJI International are truly for a lifetime.
I
n commemoration of our 10th year anniversary, SJI International Distinguished Speaker Series was launched. Featuring Prof Tan Chorh Chuan, a key leader in Singapore’s Biomedical Sciences Initiative and President of the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Chairman of the Board of the National University Health System (NUHS). Prof Tan’s engaging and inspiring presentation sparked a long series of questions from the students from SJI and SJI International. He showed them that career success does not have to be at the expense of family life, the arts, philanthropy, or travel and adventure. His presentation launched a new speaker series, which aims to bring to our students thoughtleaders from various industries, all of whom are distinguished alumni of this Lasallian family of schools, and have had a major impact on Singapore and Singaporeans.
A
nother milestone achieved was the launch of the SJI International Character Development Conference held over two days in September, with worldrenowned keynote speakers and practical workshops from some of the best schools in S.E. Asia. This event brought together 150 educators from 7 countries teachers from international schools, local schools and Lasallian schools - to share best practices and learn about the exceptional work being done in the area of Character Development in education. This event included a Lasallian conference track and workshops, which specifically explored what good Lasallian Character Education looks like, and what Lasallian educators can do to better promote character development.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PREP 1 - GRADE 6 / AGES 4-12 The Elementary School is learning-focused and strongly believes that all children have the capacity to learn and make progress. We believe in the holistic education of children so that they can grow and develop in a well-rounded way; academically, socially, artistically and through sports. We use a range of digital technology as tools to create stimulating lessons and provide opportunities for collaboration among the children, and between home and school.
As a Lasallian Catholic School, we believe that character education lies at the heart of what we do. It is our mission to help the children become people of integrity and people who care for others and the world in which we live. We teach international mindedness, where our students learn to appreciate cultural empathy, and help the children be able to appreciate the benefits and challenges of coexistence and interdependence in today’s world.

SERVICE LEARNING Service Learning is central in defining who we are and what we want our students to become. SJI International strives to nurture open-hearted and open-minded students who have a strong sense of purpose, belonging and social responsibility.
From Prep 1, students are encouraged to participate in whole school service events, which support our chosen Global Initiative Programme with our charity of choice, the Lasallian Community Education Services (LCES), in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The LCES supports the Henamulla preschool, which has 150 children and is supported by seven teachers. The Elementary School has also been collecting five and ten cent coins that will be used to support the lunches served at the Henamulla schools. Our Elementary Parents Support Group (EPSG) are key supporters of our Global Initiative Programme. They bring the community together and host an annual lapathon. This year a total of $21,000 was raised and donated to LCES.

CASS Awards. This stands for Community, Activity, Sport and Service and is used to encourage children to push themselves outside of their comfort zone and give up their time to help others both in our school community and beyond. For each badge at Bronze and Silver level, children have to carry out 3 acts of service, such as a sponsored event or volunteer for a day. Those children who reach Gold level have to plan and carry out their own independent service project, making their own contacts with agencies and working out logistics of supplies. In the High School, all students are involved in regular community service activities from Grades 7 to 12. Service projects are supervised by tutors or service leaders and work towards a progressive ladder of service learning. Students move from ‘handheld’ service projects in Grade 7 to initiating and organising their

CAMPUS ENHANCEMENTS
C
ampus enhancements financed by SJI International’s operating budget in 2017 included the upgrading of new facilities in both the High School and the Elementary School. In the Elementary School, new Learning Support rooms were built while in the High School, there was a facelift of the library, a new study lounge, cricket cage construction, and a resurfacing of the outdoor
tennis and basketball courts. The key campus enhancement project completed in 2017 was the overhaul of the High School library, the first time in ten years since it was first built. This facelift included new furniture, flooring, and a new layout of the furniture. A new cricket cage was also surfaced in Dec 2017, with the flooring of replaced with
Astro Turf instead of the original grass to facilitate better training for our cricket players. Last of all, the school’s basketball court was resurfaced and repainted and out of the existing area, a new tennis court was created. The newly surfaced tennis court has portable netting, which allows it to be easily converted into another basketball court or floorball court when removed.
