Mahalo: Resounding Success of the SJI Carnival

On 20 July, SJI held the much-anticipated Mahalo Carnival, marking its return after a six-year hiatus with the enthusiastic support of Josephians past and present. The school grounds were filled with excitement as students, teachers, and families came together for a day of fun and festivity, in support of the Migrant Workers’ Centre (MWC).

The carnival kicked off with a showcase of student talent, featuring performances that ranged from captivating dance routines to musical acts, highlighting the diverse skills and passions within the school community.

Students took the lead, managing interactive booths that offered games, face painting, and crafts. These hands-on activities engaged participants of all ages and fostered a sense of camaraderie among peers.

The air was filled with the tantalising aroma of delectable treats at the food fair, offering a variety of mouth-watering options from nasi lemak to pizza. Both children and parents delighted in the sweet indulgence of popcorn, cotton candy, and ice cream, generously sponsored by the SJI Old Boys Association (SJIOBA). Excitement mounted as the lucky draw took place, with winners walking away with an array of prizes generously donated by our Parents Support Group (PSG).

Our Principal, Mr Justin Arul Pierre shared, “We had an awesome carnival, and many students – past and present – teachers, parents, and guests shared with me that they had a wonderful time and experience.” He also expressed his immense gratitude towards the staff and students for their hard work and efforts in making this event a success.

Together, we made Mahalo 2024 possible!
