LUMEN | THE ST . JOSEPH ’ S INSTITUTION MAGAZINE

Lumen is Latin for light or lamp . It also means clearness and understanding .
We hope this magazine will shed light on the people , programmes , and philosophy of SJI .
Whether you are a student , a teacher , a parent , an alumnus , or just someone who supports the school , may what we have to say help you understand the school and what it stands for and perhaps shed a little more light onto your path on the journey that is life .

On the cover : Our SJI students and parents expressed their appreciation , thoughts and prayers for the frontline healthcare workers who are battling with the COVID-19 in Singapore . Through this school-wide activity , they penned their heartfelt appreciation on 2000 ' Thank You ' cards to show their admiration and gratitude to the staff of Tan Tock Seng Hospital . This was presented to the hospital in late March .
