Celebrating Stories, Ideas and Imagination

The Literary Festival, themed Turning the Page, celebrates the power of stories, ideas, and imagination to open new chapters in our thinking and our lives. Organised by the English Language & Literature and Humanities Departments, it offered a vibrant celebration of language, ideas, and imagination.

Students engaged in a series of thoughtfully curated activities, including Blackout Poetry, where creativity was distilled through careful selection of words, and Whispers of Wisdom, a reflective segment in which teachers and students shared their personal reading journeys and the enduring impact of literature. The highlight of the festival was the Character Parade, where historical and literary figures were brought to life with energy and conviction.

Indeed, SJI hopes for all students to remember that reading is a lifelong conversation, and that the questions literature raises don't stop when we graduate. They grow with us.
