5-12 Feb 2020 : Year 5 Orientation Week
SJI welcomed the new batch of Year 5s with vigour and excitement on 5 February . Despite the evolving circumstances arising from COVID-19 , the Orientation programme was swiftly modified by the organising committee that comprised the 7th Senior Student Council and their teachers Mr Wong Chee Choy and Mr Christopher Ngoh . They facilitated a smooth transition and immersion for the new students into the IB Diploma Programme .
The Year 6 OGLs and Student Council invested great effort to ensure that the freshmen enjoyed Orientation 2020 to the fullest . Several of the seniors from Year 6 prepared a heritage play for the newbies that reenacted the story of our Founder , De La Salle . This garnered a number of praises and positive response from the Year 5s as they had fun watching the play and learning about De La Salle ’ s struggles in providing education to the poor . Through the Josephian Challenge , the Year 5s bonded with their friends in their Orientation groups through team games and had a chance to visit the heritage gallery , Missio 1852 , to learn about SJI ’ s rich history .
Orientation concluded with the Year 5s tying on their SJI ties and wearing their badges . The Principal , Fr Adrian , shared a reflection about the significance of wearing the SJI tie with the Year 5s .
