COMPUTER GRAND SLAM CHAMPION

PROUDLY JOSEPHIANS

Excellence and pride filled the air as the SJA Computer Team took multiple Information Technology competitions by storm and snatched home the championship title away from competitors, hoisting the flag of SJA to its wondrous glory.









It has been proven once again that St. Joseph’s Academy, though not a very big name in the constellation of schools, could stand face to face against colossal institutions of learning, equipped with a single weapon, a stone, for in the battle between David and Goliath it only took a measly stone to take Goliath down. This also proves that in the world we’re living in there is indeed no fire like the Josephian spirit.
To the contestants, Congratulations for a job well done!
