Commemorating National Day

This year, the National Day theme is 'Stronger Together, Majulah!'. This is a call for all Singaporeans to forge ahead as a united and strong people towards a better future. “Stronger Together” reminds Singaporeans that unity in our diversity is what makes us stronger. Communities, families and friends coming together form the bedrock of our nation’s strength and resilience, and enable us to overcome challenges. “Majulah”, which means “onward”, encapsulates our hopes and spirit as a nation since our independence 57 years ago, and is a rallying call for Singaporeans to strive for a better future, and grow from strength to strength as we emerge from COVID-19.

To commemorate National Day, SJI held a simplified National Day Observance Ceremony on 4 Aug, with a march-in of National Flag and School Flag by UG leaders, flag-raising ceremony with the singing of the National Anthem and recitation of the Pledge, and the Minister's National Day Message for Schools was read out by the President and Vice-President of Student Council.

On the eve of National Day, Josephians gathered to run together at the Annual Cross-Country Meet at Bedok Reservoir after a hiatus of two years. By running together, the SJI community continue to realise our dream of moving ahead together as SJI and challenges us to keep running forward together as one Singapore.
