1 May 2023

Five Josephians beat teams from several schools to win the NUS History Challenge.

On 6 May this year, a team of 6 Josephians participated in the NUS History Challenge themed "Race against Time". The NUS History Challenge is an annual challenge for secondary school students to come together and compete with each other in history-related activities. This is the first challenge since the pandemic and the aim of this challenge is to encourage students to know more about Singapore. Organised by the NUS History Society, teams must complete a range of challenges related to Singapore history and heritage.

The SJI team comprising Daniel Ho Dawei and Kayden Ee Kai Wen (LE401), Sidharth Subramanyam (MN401), Joel Seet Zhi An and Rohanveer Singh Sidhu (LE303) beat several teams from schools such as HCI, VS and RI to emerge as champions.
