“ Live by the spirit of faith .”
~ St . John Baptist de La Salle
The ‘ Spirit of SJI ’ sculpture ( at Brother Solomon Leclerq Block ). This 1998 sculpture by Brother Joseph McNally is an artistic interpretation of the masthead of the ship - La Julie - that brought the first six La Salle Brothers to Singapore in 1852 . The figure represents a Brother in his habit . Located at the roundabout in the carpark , the statue greets every visitor with open hands , welcoming everyone to experience the Lasallian mission for themselves . The robe transitions naturally into a spiralling wave , reminding us of the immense sea of potential each student has and the role the Brothers play in nurturing that potential .
