At SAJC we believe that self-development is an essential part of your time in JC. We want students to build up a personal portfolio that is more than academic. We encourage student participation in fields outside of the classroom and we have many opportunities for them to do so. Those skilled at sports and performing arts can participate in competitions up to national level or through public performances. Some can gain exposure through overseas competitions and tours. We have an extensive Work Shadowing Programme that involves attachments to business and industry for 1 to 2 weeks annually, and many students are involved in helping pupils in a neighborhood primary school through a mentorship scheme. Others participate in Overseas Community Service. In addition special programmes like Service Learning provide other opportunities for students to develop themselves.
