Celebrating Ten Years of Java Jam

播放

Java Jam is an event the whole school community looks forward to on the first Friday of November every year. This decade long SCIS Pudong tradition originally started as a senior project but has now evolved into a well-attended yearly student council event. The first-ever Java Jam was held on the first floor outside of the main office. 

It has become a tradition for senior members of the student council to host the event and entertain the crowd between acts. This year's senior hosts had the crowd laughing and were continuously complementing all the acts on how amazing they were. We had a variety of performances this year from our teacher band, "The Pudonkies", to dancers, singers, spoken word poets, rock bands, and even an electric guitar solo. The evening was crowded with students and teachers from all levels of Upper School, and even some from Lower School. 

All gathered on couches, comfy chairs and bean bags from around the school to enjoy and be wowed by the incredible performances in a cozy, chill atmosphere. The goal of the committee was to create an intimate coffee house vibe so everyone could enjoy a relaxing, stress-free, event. Student Council had food for sale with everything from homemade sweets to pizza and fresh popcorn which contributed to the comfortable atmosphere. 

Unique to SCIS Pudong, Java Jam remains a highlight in every student's event calendar and is known to be one of the most enjoyable and memorable events of the year.
