SJC Open Day, 135th anniversary







Its must have been 10+ years last time I went really inside SJC. Everything seems so small - the hallways, classrooms (how did we possibly fit in 42 chairs, tables, and students in those rooms?!) - but of course all these are also immediately familiar. Its afterall a place I spent 7 years running around!

I was particularly keen to go into the library - but I didnt get to see the inside. Many memories of many conversations inside, discussions about growing up, about life when there's a lot of hope, excitment, uncertainty ahead? When I was 15, 16, 17. WOW, that felt like an eternity ago. I was probably your usual slightly melancholic, mostly self-reflecting, at-times difficult student?

BTW the school looks really run down - was surprised that there isnt more renovation done since the last 20 years!
