DIARY OF EVENTS

YEAR 1 ORIENTATION CAMPFIRE

The Year 1 Orientation Programme resumed with much excitement and fanfare after a 3-year hiatus , to welcome the youngest Josephians into the SJI community . Besides the overnight camp , the Year 1s spent their first week exploring the various CCA , from sports to uniformed groups and performing arts .
The fortnight-long Orientation Programme concluded with the Initiation Ceremony and the long-awaited campfire on 13 January , celebrated with more than 700 parents , students and alumni . There were many firsts at this year ’ s Orientation Programme , one of which was introducing a cohort batch song , “ We are the Young .”
The 2023 Year 1 Orientation Programme continues to emphasise our focus on community , and it is through this community of Peer Support Leaders , Peer Support Facilitators , CCA leaders , new friends , and teachers that the Year 1s will grow and develop in SJI . The spirit of fraternity and friendships forged show the significance that we continue to be with all — a community that cares and serves .
