Yesterday evening, our Secondary students held a break-fasting program, a program initiated by them to build bonding moments amongst the school community and also to understand deeper the essentials of fasting. Not only break-fasting, but the students also shared some foods (takjil) with the local community.

Thank you, Secondary students! Have a joyful and blessed Ramadhan!

The IB Diploma Programme Visual Art Exhibition is part of students' emotional journey. Students present their best works of art in the form of a curated show.

Adam van Schaijk is the only Grade 12 student who took the visual art subject this year. With guidance from our visual art teacher, Adam tried to picture the human mind and its complexity based on his own experience.

Congratulations Adam!

As a consolidation and culmination process in the Middle Years Programme, Personal Project provides an opportunity for the students to undertake an independent and age-appropriate exploration into an area of personal interest.

This year, the projects are wrapped under the theme of "From Passion to Creation". For about 7 months, students of MYP Year 5 (Grade 10), have gone through the inquiry process, planning, taking action, and reflecting under the guidance of their supervisors, Ibu Jennifer, Ibu Siska, Ibu Artika, Pak Herli, and Pak Dindit. Starting from their personal interest, they have come up with amazing work. Congratulations, Grade 10 students!

YIS Preschool up to Grade 6 students held the Student-led Conference last Friday. It was fascinating to see how the students present their portfolios of work confidently and discuss their learning progress with their parents and teachers. The student-led conference also helps parents understand how their children learn at school and what support they need.

Have a wonderful Term Break Holiday, YIS students! ⛱

Why do we need to separate our waste?

Waste that is not separated usually ends up in landfill sites. These sites contain tons of waste that take hundreds of years to decompose. And some of this waste, such as some plastics will never disappear.

Our Grade 8 students took an initiative to educate their friends at school concerning waste separation as part of their Service as Action Program. They called it the "Think Before Throw" program. They prepared two bins for organic and non-organic waste, and they also went to each class to socialize their program. During lunchtime, they even sit by the bins to remind their friends to separate their waste.

Thank you Grade 8 students for your initiative. Let's make the world a better place. 🌏

In the last few weeks of Term 3, Grade 3 and 4 students are learning about business systems. We invited Bapak and Ibu Hartanto, one of the parents of our students to share about their digital printing business. The students were very excited as they found out that they could print almost anything on different kinds of media, such as t-shirts, acrylic, and art paper. They also learned that a digital printing business needs to have at least a customer service staff, a graphic designer, a marketing staff, a printing machine operator, and a director.
