sji is a school with a history and heritage comparable to
raffles and chinese high and acs. so they are building on that for
the future.
i agree it's true sji isn't top class like ri or chinese high, but
it's a decent school with a great tradition and history, like those
of ri and chinese high, and it has a strong alumni too, so there's
certainly set of qualities and strong potential for the sch to
build on.
in soccer terms, ri and chinese high is like manutd and chelsea,
sji is like liverpool. it's not the best now, dont have the
qualities to mount a challenge to those two schools, but still has
a vast pool of supporters, history and decent qualities.
think about it, u can't be the best all the time.. u can try to do
as well as u can. and that's what sji is doing here...
you are not wrong, it's just u are looking at it in a way that, if
u are not the best or in the top flight, there's no point in
working so hard to make things happen. however for a sch like sji,
they want to compete, they want to move on and change with times.
and there's nothing wrong about it
