LUMEN
Contents
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 .
