Gratitude and giving

Dear Friends, We are extremely grateful to our visionary philanthropists and donor community who continued to support us in 2021 despite the ongoing challenges of the pandemic. Every single act of generosity has impacted our students’ lives in some way - so thank you. As a not-for-profit school, all of the facilities, resources and provisions that enhance our students’ educational experience rely heavily on the generosity of our donors. The ramifications of Covid-19, be it financial, emotional or both; as well as the impact it had on our ability to run annual fundraising events (in their traditional format) could have led to a significant decline in funds pledged or donated throughout the year. However, this was not the case at all, there continued to be an outpouring of support from our community including current and former parents, faculty and staff through Annual Giving appeals, alumni, board members and friends of SJI International, for which we are truly grateful. In 2021, our Scholarships and Bursaries Fund along with the Building and Development Fund received a combined total of over $2.5 Million in donations. This example of generosity and kindness of spirit is what lies

at the heart of SJI International and helps us to ensure long term sustainability in delivering an outstanding values-based education, as well as the ever-expanding Scholarship Programme and Building Fund that our community values so much.

Your support to the Scholarships and Bursaries Fund has helped ensure that scholarships are available to exceptional students from Singapore and the wider region. It is your support that helps us fulfill our Lasallian mission to serve ‘the last, the lost and the least’ allowing us to provide life changing education for all, regardless of circumstance.

Your support of the Building and Development Fund helps us expand our campus and facilities. It is your support that enables us to enhance our learning spaces providing opportunities for our students to excel in their learning. As you will read in the following pages, your support doesn’t simply improve the life of one person, but the lives of many. We hope you will take some time to read this report and celebrate the successes of 2021, including the reflections from our current and alumni scholars and students as well as a heartfelt message from one of our many supportive families, The Minjoot Family. Our St Joseph’s Institution International community is unique in so many ways and our students’ experience is strengthened by your generosity, for which we are truly thankful. As we celebrate our 15th Anniversary in 2022, and all that has been achieved so far, we now look to the future and hope you move forward with us, as the best is yet to come. Once again, sincere thanks for everything you do and the difference you make as ‘people of integrity, people for others’. Maria Ciola
