Hi parents,

The first day of school is at Malcolm Road, 8.30am.
Does anyone know if there’s some kind of ceremony to mark the start of the new school year?
Is the presence of parents expected/allowed?
Does anyone know the schedule of the first day of school, for Sec 1 boys?

There is an Inaugural Service in early February to mark the start of the new school year:

The Inaugural Service is the first formal school assembly for the academic year where the entire school community gathers together to celebrate its sense of being in a Lasallian community. To mark the beginning of the school year, the SJI community officially welcomed the newest additions to the school – students from both Secondary 1 and JC 1, and members of the teaching and non-teaching staff at the Inaugural Service.
