Schools all over the world were invited to celebrate the feast of St. Francis Xavier this year in a special and meaningful way.
Students were invited to take a creative and “out-of-the-box” photo of themselves and/or their friends in front of the Jesuit Schools Map to convey a message of hope, zeal, sustainability, diversity and belonging to a global community.
The global project initiated by the Asia Pacific Jesuit Education Secretariat (JCAP) took off and ran during the months of October and November 2016 on Instagram with the hashtag #SFX2016.
Now at the beginning of December we are delighted to announce the winners!
A big thank you goes to the international panel of judges who awarded the winning schools with a special “Magis Certificate”.
