On the 27th of April 2024, we hosted a festive Hari Raya gathering at Pusat Jagaan Kasih Murni, a home for 20 underprivileged girls aged 6 and under. π§
To commemorate the gifting spirit of Eid βͺοΈ, we decided to extend a helping hand by donating essential groceries and supplies to the children's home. From shampoo to washing detergent, milk to cookies, we sought to alleviate some of the burdens these children face daily. We also prepared goodie bags filled with activity books, stationery sets, and tasty snacks, aiming to brighten the children's day. π
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our dedicated alumni, Lim Pak Wai and Aliha Abbas, whose invaluable support and enthusiasm brought immense joy to the children as they distributed the goodie bags.
As always, weβre here to help you maintain a lifelong connection with us and with each other, share experiences and expertise, and enjoy exclusive offers, events, networking, and volunteering opportunities. π«
We hope to see you at our next event! π

SJIS Educational Experience: Year 6 Parents Meet and Greet with SJIS School Leadership & Staff π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦
On the 14th of September 2023, SJIS organized a Meet and Greet session for Year 6 parents to get to know more about the educational experience at SJIS. The parents were given an introduction to the secondary school programme to ensure a seamless transition from Year 6 (SJIP) to Year 7 (SJIS) for year 2024. This session creates an opportunity for our Year 6 parents to meet with the secondary school academic team to understand and attain information pertaining to the academic and non-academic aspects of SJIS, and how to best support their children in the transitional experience from primary to secondary school.
Three of our esteemed alumni also attended this session, namely Ethan Ng (Batch 2021), Peyshwara (Batch 2017) and Casimir Chong (Batch 2022). Ethan was invited as the alumni representative to share his experience at SJIS. His heartfelt and inspiring speech about how his parents and teachers have supported him throughout his journey as a student really resonated with everyone who attended. π₯Ή

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So, you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future." - Steve Jobs
On August 17, 2023, we hosted a personal development talk session with our alumna, Zoe Wong, for Year 10 students. Zoe, who was a top student and head prefect during her days at SJIS, shared her insights on planning for the future after graduating from SJIS.
One of the key points of her talk was to focus on "who" you want to be instead of "what" you want to become. She explained that having a career aspiration is important, but having the right mindset and attitude will bring you further in your life. Zoe ended her inspirational talk with the advice to "be kind, be strong, and be flexible" and opened the floor for a brief Q&A session. We can see that our Y10 students responded positively to this talk, as they enthusiastically asked many thoughtful questions during the Q&A session and even stayed back after the talk to chat with Zoe.
We hope that our Year 10 students were able to gain some useful information in this talk, and always remember that they are not alone in their life journey. π

At SJIS, we firmly believe that experience is a great teacher, and who better to learn from than someone who has already walked the path? This month, we are so honored to announce that our esteemed alumna, Ms. Zoe Wong, will be returning to SJIS to share her experiences and insights with our Year 10 students! We are so excited to have her back, and we believe that this talk will be very beneficial for our Year 10 students as they begin to plan for their future pathways. π€©π
No matter where our alumni are in the world, we believe that they will continue to be ambassadors of the SJIS spirit. Here at SJIS, we always strive to connect with our alumni through various activities throughout the year. We strongly encourage you to reach out to us for more opportunities to contribute back to your alma mater! β€οΈπ
