In 2020, a team of 5 Josephians represented SJI to participate in the inaugural Community Safety and Security Project (CSSP) titled – Anti-Scam Student Champions (ASSC), organized by Bishan NPC of the Singapore Police Force.

Despite that this project was conducted with the COVID-19 safe management measures in place, Fan Enrui (FN302), Kothamasu Pranavasai Bhavesh (FN302), Chen Wei En James Ryan (ML301), Thaddeus Kuah Kiat Ray (MN302), and Koh Ze Rey, Ansley (MN303) overcame the difficulties faced and persevered to produce the winning video. They were required to complete three tasks:

  1. Research into the topic of scam and how to prevent becoming victim to scams;

  2. Using the researched materials, the students will share with their fellow school-mates on anti-scam awareness; and

  3. The students will then create educational anti-scam video clips, which formed part of the competition.

The team emerged Champions out of the 14 schools in the South Zone, which included Raffles Institution, Hwa Chong Institution and Cedar Girls Secondary School. Their video creation was well received and was featured on Bishan NPC's Facebook page (opens in new tab).
