Service Learning

SSJIS makes it a point that our students be members of the Scouts of the Philippines for it is a worldwide and nationwide organization which was established during the times of Lord Baden Powell of England. In the Philippines, scouting is very much recognized because of its community service for the barangay and cities where it exists. Here in the City of Baguio, scouts are always called for service especially during parades. At present YSSJIS scout Jhean Andrea Halal a Grade 9 Student was elected as the City Youth Representative. It means that she will always seat in meetings with law-makers of the City such as the City Councilors, City Mayor and Vice-Mayor and other Presidents of prestigious organizations (Ex. Lions Club).

Furthermore, in times of needs such as when ones house caught fire or death in a family or accidents we at YSSJIS makes it a point that we extend a helping hand by passing on the hat to each and everyone. We collect in cash or in kind and give it to the affected family. In doing so, students learn to empathize with others and try to reflect on their own lives how lucky are they.
