Sporting Achievement - Month of April

How time has gone by, we are now in the month of April and at the tail end of ACSIS season 3.

For season 3, our netball teams (19U and 16U) and the soccer teams (14U boys and girls) are involved.

The Netball girls despite playing against bigger and more experience teams have done well in their respective division. The 19U team came in 4th and the 16U girls did better by finishing second, being edged out by AISS. Miss Ladd, the girls and the coach have all put in alot of hardwork to get the team so far. WELL DONE GIRLS!!!!

The 14U girls soccer team is learning along the way and they won their first game last week and they will only get better. The 14U boys are playing in the Grand Final tonight against UWC B and despite missing two of our better players, Diego and Sergio Moreno, the boys should do well and hopefully bring back the winner's medal.

At the same time, we are the first International School to be involved in the Singapore Schools A division Tennis Tournament. We will be up against more experience teams but I am sure the team will grow form the experience, especially the younger players.

Despite being less than 4 years old, I think we have done well so far in terms of being competitive in the sporting scene amongst the International Schools. Although there are hiccups along the way, the three of us, Jess, Rowdie and myself will continue to attempt to expose our students to as many competitve opportunites as possible.

ACSIS Success

Hi all, it has been awhile since I last posted.

The month of February and March has been good for SJII's sporting teams. Our14U boys soccer team has gone 4 for 4 in the current ACSIS league with wins over CIS A, UWC B, OFS B and AIS B. The top scorer at the mommentis Edward Tan with 6 goals. The eam will be playing its final league game on MOnday, 22th March against Tanglin Trust School.

ON the 13th March, four of our shuttlers took part in the ACSIS individual badminton tournament and at the end of it, Ryan Lin finished top in the 16U boys individual event while Tan Shu Yin came in first in the 19U girls individual event. Jonas and Yudi wasnt amongst the medals but they came in fifth in the 19U doubles event. Well done to all of them.

At the momment, our 16U and 19U Netball teams are playing in the ACSIS league. The senior girls is currently 2 for 4, while the junior girls are 3 for 4. Both teams have certainly come a long way.

WE, at SJII are slowly but surely getting there with the bigger INternational Schools interms of sporting achievement. With the staff, students and the parents support, I am sure we will achieve more in the months to come.

ACSIS Success

It has been a good week for our Basketball and Volleyball Teams.

After a not so ideal start to the season where we lost 3 games in a row, our 19U team managed to make it to the Finals playoff last Saturday where they faced SAS, which we have lost twice to. It was a fantastic game where our boys managed to tie the game int he last quater after being behind in the previous 3 through a Irvan's 3 pointer. In overtime, our boys grew stronger and managed to emerge winner by a score of 59-52.

Our 14U Basketball team is also doing well in our division. We have now won 4 games in a row, with those results we should be able to qualify for the semi-finals.

Our 16U Volleyball team has also done us proud, they have now won 2 in a row. With 4 games to be played this week, I am confident that they would do well in all of them.

ACSIS Games

AT the momment, our 19U and 16U basketball teams are involve in the respective season 2 leagues. Both teams have done well so far with the 19U playing against Waseda Senior High school for a place in the Finals playoff this Saturday. Our very new 14U team has been making good progress in the Div 3 league, winning all 4 of their games so far. It is quite a accomplishment as many of the players are new to competitive Basketball and we also have two girls; Shenna Tan and Kaitlin Yeap in the team.

Our 16U Volleyball team has played two games so far and their records is play 2 won 1 and lost 1.

Both our 19U Tennis are involve in their respective ACSIS one day tournament this Saturday (23 Jan). The girls will be playing at Singapore American School while the boys will be playing at United World College (Dover). The respective games will start at 0800 hrs. All students and parents are strongly encouraged to be at the venue to support the teams.


The league for other games are coming up soon, so interested players please look out for tryouts dates on the activity notice boards.

Activites 2010

After a wait of 2 weeks, the 2010 activites is finally on the way. All students need to participate in at least ONE activity and the idea is to be involve in an activity that will challenge you. Please remember that attendance is compulasory and a note from your parent or guardian is neccessary if you are going to miss the activity and that it has to be shown to the teacher before the start of the activity.

Students who miss consecutive sessions in the first two weeks of activities will have their names struck off the roster.

Any parents who would like to be involve in any of the activity, please feel free to drop me an emailat justin.toh@sji-international.com.sg

Have a good 2010!!!
