Last month, our Middle Years Programme (MYP) students had an educational field trip to a mushroom farm. They learned how to produce mushroom growth media and inoculate mushroom mycelium into the log bags.

This activity aims to enrich knowledge and provide students with experiences outside their everyday activities. It will also help students develop their IB learner profile, especially “BALANCE” to achieve personal well-being by understanding the intellectual, physical, and emotional aspects.

Yesterday was a really fun day for the YIS community as we held an Olympic Day at the YIS campus stadium. The school was divided into two teams, Green Team and Blue Team, and they competed against each other to win the 2023 YIS Olympic Day Trophy.

Our secondary students, Gerard and Leo, were having a fierce battle in the Javelin throw match. Jian and Arthur, our Primary students, were racing hard in the frog jump match. In the end, Green Team won this year's Olympic Day with 5400 points.

Thank you YIS parents, teachers, students and staff for taking part in this fun sport activity. See you on the 2024 YIS Olympic Day!

One of the three fundamental parts that every student must fulfill as part of the Diploma Programme (DP) is creativity, activity, and service (CAS). YIS DP students went on a field excursion to the Karimunjawa islands in Central Java as part of the CAS program. One of the events they participated in was a visit to a local school called Kejora Karimunjawa, where our students spent time reading story books to the students and playing together.

Today, YIS Grade 11 students have a Theory of Knowledge Exhibition, where they showcase their critical thinking, analysis, and engagement with different areas of knowledge and ways of knowing.

In the TOK Exhibition, students are required to create and present an exhibition that demonstrates their understanding and exploration of the key concepts and ideas in the Theory of Knowledge course. It also provides students with an opportunity to reflect on their own knowledge journey and to consider the broader implications of knowledge in various contexts.

Congratulations, Grade 11 students!
