As the first SJII in Malaysia, St Joseph<br />
is part <strong>of</strong> the Lasallian education circle<br />
in Asia which includes the 160-yearold<br />
St Joseph’s Institution (independent<br />
all-boys secondary school) and St<br />
Joseph’s Institution International School<br />
(independent co-educational international<br />
school) in Singapore. Over the years,<br />
