Many Exciting Opportunities!
You don’t have to
be good in everything, but you
have to be good
at something!
This year, we have also arranged Work Attachment for our Sec 3 students to
have a foretaste of the world of work in Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Palm
Beach Seafood Restaurant at The Fullerton. Many visits to work places conducted by Mr Roger
Ong and his ACE team consisting of nine SJI JC1 students have also exposed our students in the
area of work ethics and working life.
We thank our school chaplaincy for providing spiritual guidance, conducting some morning reflections and prayers for the school. We would also like to thank our PSG prayer group for
covering us in prayers.
Special thanks to PSG Committee and members who brought much joy and warmth to the staff
and students on 5 Sep (Thursday) Honours Day (Staff) through their handicraft works, singing
and ‘hot’ dancing. In addition, the PSG even produced a CD of their performance for us. Special
mention to Mr Husni Asmuni who has choreographed the dance for two consecutive years and
to Paulin Chong and Angeline Ang who led the group of mothers to do the handicraft works.
