MENGANGKAT SEMANGAT KEINDONESIAAN

Inilah Indonesia. Mungkin itu frasa yang tepat disematkan dalam memaknai kegiatan Departemen Bahasa Indonesia selama bulan Agustus ini. Dengan mempelajari hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan Indonesia, kita diingatkan untuk bersyukur akan kekayaan budaya dan karya negeri ini. Tak hanya itu, di tanggal 17 Agustus, sekolah kita mengadakan upacara memperingati hari kemerdekaan, yang disusul dengan perayaan lomba-lomba yang khas negeri di tanggal 19 Agustus.

EARLY CHILDHOOD: PEMBELAJARAN UNTUK HIDUP BERDAMPINGAN LINTAS AGAMA DAN BUDAYA
Pada tanggal 19–20 Agustus 2019, Rumah Komunitas Kreatif bekerjasama dengan Komisi Nasional Indonesia untuk UNESCO, Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan, dan didukung oleh UNESCO Paris dalam Program Arigatou International Learning to Live Together (LTLT) melibatkan guru-guru PAUD dari berbagai wilayah di Jabodetabek dalam program pelatihan selama 2 hari. Tema kehidupan bermasyarakat sehari-hari dijadikan sebagai acuan pembelajaran untuk hidup berdampingan antar umat beragama yang dimulai sejak usia dini. Harapannya, kelak akan tercipta kehidupan yang selaras, seimbang serta saling menghormati antar sesama, terlepas dari keyakinan yang dimiliki. Kegiatan ini juga menjadi salah satu upaya agar guru dan murid-murid dapat mengamalkan kegiatan hidup berdampingan di sekolah masing masing.
PRIMARY SCHOOL: STUDENT-INVOLVED CONFERENCE 2019: I GOT THIS
This term’s Student-Involved Conference (SINC) ushers a year of goals and dreams for Primary 1 to Primary 6 students. The theme urges the children to assess their current selves and identify areas of strength and growth. Drafting goals may be easy but pursuing to realise them is another story. In front of their parents, students presented their reflection, commitments, and aspirations for the future. From winning a spelling competition, being the top reader in class, to achieving higher scores in Chinese, our students did not let their present weakness dampen their enthusiasm. After all, everyone has unlimited potential.
