This morning, our students are invited to attend the Jogja Japan Week opening ceremony to celebrate the 65th anniversary of cooperation between Indonesia and Japan.

During the ceremony, we were entertained by special musical and dance performances that symbolize the friendship and harmony between Indonesia and Japan. After the performances, the event was opened by the Vice Governor of Yogyakarta Province, KGPAA Paku Alam X, and also attended by the Deputy Ambassador of the Japan Embassy, Mr. Tamura Masami.

For two days, our Grade 11 students will sit for the ANBK (Asesmen Nasional Berbasis Komputer / Computer-based National Assessment), a mandatory assessment from Indonesia's Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology.

There are three instruments used in this evaluation program. The Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM), which comprises assessments in literacy and numeracy, comes first. The environmental survey came in second, followed by a character survey in third.

And thus the adventure begins! YIS students and teachers have returned to school and are ready to begin the 2023-2024 academic year. The first day of school began with the introduction of our new Principal and teachers, followed by some enjoyable activities for students to get to know their classmates and teachers.

A new school year offers fresh starts, new adventures, new friendships, and new challenges. Welcome back, everyone! We hope you are all rejuvenated and energized for another successful academic year.

Embracing Lifelong Learning as we breathe the International Baccalaureate curriculum, teachers are also ongoing learners. During Teachers Preparation Week, YIS teachers recalled the five elements of the PYP Curriculum by having a PYP Transdisciplinary Cafe. Knowledge, Concepts, Learner Profiles, Approaches to Learning, as well as Action was represented by each booth offering pizza, cookies, chocolate, traditional snacks, and Thai tea.

Students, we hope you had a wonderful school holiday and we'll see you on Monday, 14 August 2023 for the first day of school.

The safety and security of all students, teachers, and staff members will always be our number one priority.

We had accident management simulations, seismic catastrophes, and victim care simulations last Tuesday, which were attended by the YIS security team, housekeeping team, gardeners, teachers, and staff members. This course is meant to improve participants' vigilance in the face of accidents and disasters, as well as their knowledge and experience in dealing with accidents and disasters.
