St. Joseph’s Institution International School Malaysia (Tropicana PJ Campus) also known as SJIIM, is different from other internatonal schools due to its Lasallian education ethos and roots. It recently showed its point of difference again when on the 6th of August, 18 of its new SJIIM IBDP Scholarship Programme scholars participated in the 2nd SJIIM Scholars’ Lasallian Leadership Training Camp in Manila, Philippines.
A special experience for the scholars was that they were also very fortunate to witness the ‘First Vows’ of two Filipino Lasallian Brothers in the La Salle Green Hills. Upon the scholars return to Kuala Lumpur scholars have become more aware of what is means to be a Lasallian and understood better the obstacles and challenges that come from the cause of serving the last, the lost, and the least. They have also bonded together well and are now ready to help grow the Lasallian mission back in SJIIM and Malaysia.
