On October 22, 2024 (Tuesday), St. Joseph's College School will be holding our inaugural Alumni Career Day. Over fifty alumni from SJCS, as well as former teachers, will be coming back for a day of mentorship, information sharing and inspiration for our current students.
The SJCS Alumni Association was established by Jennifer Ridgeway, who taught at SJCS for 22 years. After the Alumni Dinner Dance in the spring of 2024, the Alumni Career Day is the next event to be hosted by the association. The legacy of the SJCS community is why both alumni and former teachers will be taking time out of their day on October 22 to give back to the next generation of Joe's girls.
Jennifer Ridgeway, who organized the Alumni Association, quoted her mentor and past SJCS principal Sister Conrad:
"Catholic education comes down to one thing; Catholic education is about community. What you have to do is build community and that is the only thing that is worthwhile doing – whether it is here at the College School or in Vancouver or out at Islington."
We hope to see you there if you are in the neighbourhood! The SJCS Alumni Career Day website can be explored below:
