It will highlight the schools historical roots and milestones, with the celebratory event showcasing an array of talents in the performing arts such as award-winning choral performances as well as drama and dance.
This showcase will also give many a glimpse of the schools’ grand history in performing arts niche which started in the 1960s in which started when the La Salle Brothers who ran St. Joseph’s School at that time, organised yearly plays and musical performances.
These events help develop and nurture creativity among St Joseph students and this legacy has now been handed down to the present generation whose musical, choral and drama productions have garnered international recognition in recent years.

Funds for a new school block
In addition to celebrating the anniversaries of its school, the school in a statement also said that the celebration will also be used to gather funds for a new school block which is much needed by the school.
