Campus Enhancements
MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN 2018 for SJI International was a year of growth and change. The campus, sports and academic facilities all bear testimony to changes effected in order to provide a conducive and relevant environment and promote even higher standards of valuesbased education. Our focus in 2018 was on investment in hardware and faculty development. This was in line with our aim to ensure that our facilities are able to support campus activities both within and outside the classroom, while providing continuous teacher training in order to deliver real value education and excellence in academics. Teachers are trained not only to teach well but are also expected to inspire confidence and trust in their students and become role models. Besides imparting knowledge, SJI International also seeks to inculcate humanitarian values like compassion, courage, humility, integrity, reliability and wisdom in our students. We believe in holistic education for our students encompassing academics, co-curricular activities, outdoor education and servicelearning. We are happy that our students have taken well to the SJI International brand of education and learning. In 2018, as in previous years, our students continue to make us proud in their many achievements across both academic and non-academic fields. In this Annual Report, we will share the highlights of all that the school achieved in 2018, 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. In 11 years, SJI International has seen more than 1,400 graduates go on to pursue further education and careers, with their IB diplomas in hand. These students have gone on to become compassionate servant leaders who are shaping society, one step at a time. Our culture of service continues to be strengthened, to complement our efforts at developing students who have a strong sense of purpose and take on the mantle of social responsibility. In 2018, We were among the top five partners for the Hair for Hope charity drive organised by the Children’s Cancer Foundation Hair, raising almost $300,000. SJI International is proud to have an empathetic school community that willingly chooses to empower and uplift others. The ‘St Joseph and the Children’ sculpture that was specially commissioned to commemorate our 10th anniversary was unveiled and blessed at our annual Founder’s Day Dinner celebration held 21st May 2018. Joining us for the unveiling was Mrs Faith Minjoot, who was one of the major donors of this sculpture, in memory of her late husband, former Governor and member of the Leadership Council, Mr Christopher Minjoot. She was joined by her eldest son, Mr Ryan Minjoot in assisting with the unveiling of the sculpture.
17 to 19 May 2018 marked three nights of our highly-anticipated biennial musical production - Oliver!. The production was sold out all three nights, performing to appreciative audiences each night. The cast comprised of our very own talented students from Grade 7 to Grade 12 who had worked for many months preparing for the performances. Bravo! It has been another successful year for SJI International and as we look forward to 2019 which marks the tercentenary of the passing of our founder St John Baptist De La Salle, we will continue to hold to our core principles and Mission to deliver the best values-based education for our students. Just as we encourage our students to pursue excellence in all aspects, we at SJI International will strive and grow with our students to become a Lasallian school of excellence. We want to give thanks to the parents who have entrusted us with their children’s education; the brilliant efforts of our staff; our benevolent sponsors and supporters. It has been a joy to create a conducive environment for our students to learn and grow. On behalf of the Board and the school management, I would like to acknowledge these contributions and express my gratitude. Ora Et Labora
Roy Quek Chairman, Board of Governors

ABOUT US
ST. JOSEPH’S INSTITUTION INTERNATIONAL
6 | St. Joseph’s Institution International 2018 Annual Report
INTRODUCTION SJI International is a non-profit co-educational school with a Lasallian Catholic foundation. It offers a holistic, valuesdriven and international educational experience to a diverse student body of over 40 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 4,000 Lasallian Brothers and about 100,000 Lasallian teachers working in 79 countries around the world.
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 338-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.
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

LASALLIAN VALUES The Five Core Principles of Lasallian Schools
Faith in the Presence of God Concern for the Poor and Social Justice We are in solidarity with the poor and advocate for those suffering from injustices.
We believe in the living presence of God in our students, in our community and in our world.
Faith
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.
We 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.
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 deeper understanding and appreciation of people’s differences, religious as well as cultural, in order to make the world a more peaceful place.
With children from 45 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.
We stimulate the inter-religious relationship by including the study of Lasallian tradition and heritage within the religious education curriculum.

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. Once children reach the Upper Elementary School, they start working towards their 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.

Bintan Fundraising Week
In the High School, all students are involved in regular direct service activities from Grades 7 to 12. Service projects are supervised by tutors or service leaders and as students progress through High School, they are given more voice and choice in the projects they participate in but are encouraged to be actively engaged in each stage of service learning (investigation, preparation, action, reflection and demonstration) at all grade levels. Students move from working in tutor groups in partnership with Loola’s Safe Water Garden initiative in Grade 7 to organising their own service-centred trips abroad for Challenge Week, a key part of the school’s Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) programme for Grade 11s. These student-planned, teachermentored projects culminate in a week of independent activity, without teacher supervision, within South East Asia. In 2018, our High School students participated in nearly 50 service activities, within Singapore, teaching coding to lesser advantaged children in national libraries, befriending and reading to elders in homes, and providing literacy support in a local kindergarten. Students also worked in 18 non-governmental organisations outside Singapore, spanning 6 countries.
Hair for Hope 2018
Through such community engagement, our students are exposed to a diverse range of people, cultures, environments, faiths and life experiences. This creates opportunities for personal development and enriched learning, and furthers our mission for students to become ‘people of integrity, people for others’.

CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES SJI International offers a myriad of activities outside of the classroom. These activities allow students to pursue their talents and passions, while learning invaluable life skills. From the rhythm of dance and music, to the grit of soccer and rock climbing; the challenge of chess to the World Scholar’s Cup, students have a range of choice, with opportunities for competition at both intra- and inter-school levels. In the Elementary School, a range of CCAs are offered for children from Prep 1 to Grade 6. They can choose from Sports, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Academics, Environment, ICT and more. Catechism classes are also offered across all grades, as well as an extensive range of individual instrumental music lessons and tutoring in several languages including Spanish. In addition to the CCA programme, the PE Department runs a wide range of sporting teams while the Music Department runs several ensembles including string and choir.
and dance groups, and nearly 80 other clubs and activities as part of our CCA programme in Term One and Two.
In 2018, High School students were offered a choice of more than 52 sports teams (recreational and team sports) to join or represent the school with, 21 music, theatre
We encourage our students to select activities that will allow them to build life-long passions and interests that they may wish to pursue as part of a healthy and creative lifestyle.

The vast majority of our CCAs are free for students (85%) and the small number of paid-for activities allow our students to work with professional groups in activities such as Rock-Climbing and Musical Theatre. Our CCA programme enables students to develop an understanding of themselves and others, as well as build resilience and a desire to learn in different contexts.
