Each year, junior form students with outstanding academic performance (Top 15 of their forms) are honored as the SFX Junior Ambassadors. For the academic year 2015-2016, the prestigious title was bestowed upon a new batch of hardworking students during the SFX Junior Ambassadors Inauguration Ceremony on the 16th of March. Parents were invited to the ceremony to share the joy with their sons. A Letter of Acknowledgement was sent to the respective primary schools for having laid sound foundations for these students’ successes. The ambassadors will pay a visit to their Alma Maters in the near future to extend their heartfelt gratitude for their nurturing. It is hoped that these students will learn how to appreciate the effort of all those who have contributed to their academic achievements and personal development.

They had sessions of group activities, discussion of real-life examples and business planning to explore different facets of entrepreneurship. Thanks to JA and their helpful volunteers, all the participants gained some valuable insights through the event.

The annual Evangelization Week was here again. It was not only a time for religious education but also a time for our Catholic boys to demonstrate their faith through services to the school and to fellow schoolmates. As the Catholic faith is the foundation of this school, the annual Evangelization Week will continue to play the important role in cultivating the spirit of Catholic Education among students.
