St. Joseph’s Institution International School Malaysia (SJIIM) gathered at the school’s football field on 29 June to celebrate the end of academic year with a Sports and Community Event. The day began with the school’s first-ever Sports Day which saw a range of challenging sporting events for both students and parents alike. It was a fantastic Sports Day, with great sporting spirit displayed throughout and the Blue House emerging as founding champions.
The climax of the day came with the Community Event in the afternoon. Two of the school’s founding Governors were present to support the event and thanked the school’s staff, students, and parents for their collective work, support, and faith in making this such a successful founding year. The event then progressed to the unveiling of the SJIIM Founding Plaque and the sealing of 25-year time capsule which housed items representing founding year memories. A fine speech from the school’s Student Representative Council President, was joined by the release of balloons to represent the dreams, hopes and aspirations of the students. The finale was a fantastic whole school dance which involved all of SJIIM’s staff and students.
