suppadmin | December 5, 2020

A mock cheque for the amount of RM 33,747.75 was handed over to the president of Old Josephians Association (OJA) Dato Sri Dr Sim Kui Hian by the school’s head prefect Dylan Wong recently at the school compound.

Students and staff of St Joseph’s Secondary School here raised the fund through sales of souvenir mugs, tee-shirts and donation drive for the school’s Mill Hill Block Restoration Fund was raised by students and staff of St. Joseph secondary school.

It was to restore the Mill Hill Block which started in August which will cost RM5.5 million and to meet the cost OJA has set up the Mill Hill Restoration Fund. The funds were collected through government grants, donations from former students and well wishes enough fund has been raised to start the initial phases of the restoration work but to date it is still short of RM2.6 million.

Local government and Housing, Dato Seri Dr Sim Kui Hian hoped the efforts of students and staff would inspire former students and well wishers to chip in to the fund.

He said the century old main building which has withstood the test of time needs repairs while the two wings which had significantly deteriorated were certified by Public Works Department (JKR) as unsafe for occupation. With the closure of the two wings, the school lost the use of 12 classrooms.

Those interested to contribute to the restoration fund can donate to their Maybank account with the number 511113 526004 under the name of SJS Mill Hill Block Restoration.

Members of the public also email their banking information to sjsmillhillblock1894@gmail.com if they require a receipt or call the school at 082-240885 for further enquiries.
