Term 2 Week 11 : Sun 30 May (Easter Term)

Dear Parents and Year 1 Josephians,

Two weeks of FHBL have come and gone and I hope, while being confronted with the new norms, we should learn to hold dear what we have been given thus far. Despite the difficulties, I know the teachers are definitely more prepared and proficient with the preparation and delivery of the lessons. We do hope you are engaged fully during the online lessons and also taking some time to work on the SIL "project" which will gives you an opportunity to engage in meaningful activities at home.

Please note that the Full Home-based Learning details for next week (last week of school) can be found in this link. Remember that check-in with the Form tutors begin at 0730h.

**Do note that as Monday 31 May 2021 is the GCE 'O' Level Mother Tongue Language Examinations, there will not be lessons on that day.

Please keep our Year 4 Josephians in prayer.

Thank you, God Bless and stay safe!

Term 2 Week 2 : Sun 28 Mar (Easter Term)

Dear Parents and Year 1 Josephians,

In the Catholic calendar, Holy Week which begins today is a very sacred time of the year, as we commemorate and remember the last week of Jesus' life on this earth. These are the days leading up to the great Easter Feast. The Lenten season of sacrifice is about to come to an end, and this week is extremely important for all Christians. The greatest focus of the week is the Passion (suffering) and Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the events that lead up to it.

For our Year 1 Josephians, this week is the week we discover how our efforts have returned as grades. More importantly, in the SJI education, how much have we grown in character, since we first stepped into SJI to learn, to grow the gifts we brought as ourselves, and have we discovered more about ourselves?

Have a blessed week ahead!

Term 1 Week 9 : Sun 28 Feb (Epiphany Term)

Dear Parents and Year 1 Josephians,

Last Friday, our Year 5 & 6 brothers and sisters (YoungxHush), conducted their first session on mental wellness and meditation for the Year 1 students. This month-long programme aims to teach them the necessary skills for emotional support and stress reduction through various activities such as meditation, breathing techniques and ASL (American Sign Language). The theme is Transit & Belong, as the Year 1s are in transition from primary to secondary school, and are likely to face challenges such as stress from work, peer pressure and exclusion from the school community. The goal is to inculcate a healthy, stress-free environment with inclusion and mutual support. Above are photos from the session.

A gentle reminder that in Week 9 & 10, class tests and projects have been scheduled for the various subjects. Do check in with your son on details (date, topic, format, etc) for the tests and projects. Do spend some time speaking to your sons on how they are holding up so far. This will help you better understand what he's going through in school and as a added bonus, some parent-son bonding.

Have a Blessed Weekend ahead!

Term 1 Week 8 : Sun 21 Feb (Epiphany Term)

Dear Parents and Year 1 Josephians,

With the 'invasion' of technology into the various aspects of daily life, the positive well-being (or Cyber-Wellness) of the boys is of utmost importance. Cyber-Wellness is ever more so urgent as a good number of the Year 1s, for the first time, 'own' their own mobile phones. This involves an understanding of online behaviour and awareness of how to protect oneself in cyberspace so that they can become responsible digital learners. The boys are also made aware that, when navigating cyberspace, there is the need to demonstrate respect for self and others and also how to practice safe and responsible use of technology. Through social media, the boys are also exposed to the potential risk of meeting strangers that could threaten their safety. The boys must be reminded constantly of the need to be a positive peer influence by harnessing technology for collaboration, learning and productivity, as well as advocating correct use of technology for the good of the community. On this matter, do note that parental monitoring and supervision is of utmost importance.

Have a blessed week.

• • TransitLink Pte Ltd have delivered the School Smart Cards (SSCs) for the Year One students.

Term 1 Week 7 : Sun 14 Feb (Epiphany Term)

Dear Parents and Year 1 Josephians,

A blessed Lunar New Year! May the year of the Ox be one filled with abundance of good health, wealth & happiness.

Amidst the Lunar New Year celebrations with the family, on 17 Feb, Catholics observe Ash Wednesday which marks the start of Lent, a period that leads to Easter – which falls on April 4 this year – and has its roots in Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness. It is a period of reflection, prayer and penance.

Have a Blessed week ahead!

Term 1 Week 6 : Sun 7 Feb (Epiphany Term)

Dear Parents and Year 1s,

We celebrated the Inaugural Ceremony last Friday, with both boys and teachers reflecting on their strengths, as they penned down their aspirations and hopes for 2021. These precious notes that symbolise our desire for growth were then placed into "Jars of Hope".

In the call to "Curate the SJI Significance", all classes participated in the Cura activity, where each class was invited to care for a plant by adding fertilizer and water into the potted plant. The pot was then brought to the Green Wall at the Foyer. The completed Green Wall now comprises of all 86 classes, signifying the contributions of every Josephian, to the SJI significance.

As we welcome Term 1 Week 6 and the Year of the Metal Ox, we would like to extend our warmest wishes to one and all, a year of wealth, happiness, good fortune and prosperity - of love and peace. Let us be grateful for those around, who love and care for us.

Have a Blessed Week ahead!

Dear Parents and Year 1s,

As we welcome Term 1 Week 5, let us continue to be vigilant while making every experience we have at school and at home, an experience for opportunities to grow, to be better than who we were the day before. This coming Friday 5 February, SJI begins the new year with an Inaugural Celebration. In light of the current situation and the need to minimize co-mingling within the school community, Inaugural Celebration will once again be celebrated with safety measures in place. The Inaugural Celebration will mark the beginning of the 2021 school year. We will start right, start together and start better this year!

Please continue to keep well.
