164th Anniversary Parade
8 APRIL 2016
The Anniversary Parade is the most important parade of the year for all SJI ’ s Uniform Groups — NCC Land , NCC Air , NPCC , St Joseph ’ s Pelandok Scout Group , St John Brigade and SJI Pipe Band . Held once a year , this parade marks the stepping down of the Secondary Four office bearers and the passing down of authority and command over to their Secondary 3 successors . It also recognises the contributions made by certain cadets who have done exceptionally well in their CCAs , and our teachers who have dedicated years of their lives in service to their respective CCAs .
Colonel Percival Goh was invited to be the guest-of-honour for our 164th Anniversary Parade . As the Chief Signal Officer of the Singapore Armed Forces , Colonel Goh has dedicated 26 years of his life to serving his country in the SAF . He is an old boy who studied in SJI from 1984 to 1987 . He was the Drum Major of the SJI Military Band in 1987 , and participated in numerous events such as the Singapore Youth Festival .
