KUCHING: St Joseph’s Family of Schools Kuching will celebrate two milestone anniversaries and organise a variety concert and fundraising events from Aug 5-6.
St Joseph’s Private Primary School and St Joseph’s Private Secondary School will mark their 10th year while this year will be St Joseph’s International School’s fifth year since their inception.
According to a press release issued yesterday, the schools will highlight their historical roots and milestones and the celebratory event will showcase an array of talents in the performing arts such as award-winning choral performances as well as drama and dance.
“The history of the schools’ performing arts niche started in the 1960s.
“The La Salle Brothers who ran St Joseph’s School at that time organised yearly plays and musical performances.
“They developed and nurtured the creativity among the students. This legacy is now handed down to the present generation whose musical, choral and drama productions have garnered international recognition in recent years,” it said.
A new school block is now being developed due to the increased demand for more amenities and space. The new school facility, which will feature a music studio, a hall, and a library will benefit from the money raised during this variety concert cum fundraising event.
The event’s theme “Rhythm and Colour: The Family Celebrates” reflects the coming together of the alumni, staff, students and supporters of the schools, after two years of absence due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
It will be staged at the St Joseph’s Secondary Schools’ Central Atrium as well as live-streamed via their “Rhythm and Colour” website at 7.30 pm on Aug 5-6.
