A huge congratulations to our basketballers at the SMAK 6 Penabur Cup in October. Our boys very bravely fought for third place. They played like Lions, with a strong offence, and great team spirit. However, the tournament belonged to our Girls team who stormed to first place.. The girls demonstrate great sportsmanship and are role models for our student body. How students deal with the emotions of winning and even losing, are important to build character. We are so proud SIS-PIK is garnering a reputation as the school of sportsmanship.

MOVING FROM ASPIRATIONAL TO INTENTIONAL:  Transformative learning at SIS-PIK

Inspired learning means We Engage; We Inspire; We Empower. Please read below how we are moving from aspirational to intentional through transformational learning experiences.

PRESCHOOL SPORTS DAY – SATURDAY, 10 NOVEMBER 2018

A highlight every year, is our Sports Day for our wonderful preschoolers. The Sports Day is a great chance for fun and bonding for the school staff, children and their families.

IDP – INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECTS FOR SECONDARY

Tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand.  This quote is as relevant today, as it was when it was first uttered by Confucius in around 450 BC.  Our Secondary Science department certainly took this quote to heart when developing the IDP for this semester.

On Friday the 26th of October, Secondary students presented their solutions to the energy crisis.  Students were challenged to find a solution to our dwindling supplies of fossil fuels. How can we continue to power our planet? The ideas from our students were amazing. One team looked at paving slabs to convert energy from people’s footsteps into small amounts of electrical power. Another produced an enhanced greenhouse, that increased the interior temperature significantly. The ideas were so creative and well-thought out. Each class developed a working model of sustainable energy.  

Our winning Homerooms include:

Lower Secondary: Secondary 2B. The team demonstrated a way to extract energy from algae oil. The model created by the students was quite incredible.

Upper Secondary: Secondary 4B.  Cap-tura. A hat-like device to extract body heat from the head which could be used as an energy source. An incredibly creative idea that captures the hearts of the judges.

Our Secondary Science teachers pass on their love and passion for Science by giving our students the opportunity to dream, create and excel. The focus on inquiry and scientific discovery encourages a love for learning.

We Inspire – we create learning experience that make students want to learn more.

Our orchestra was incredibly honoured to be invited to join the very best performers in Jakarta as part of All Jakarta Honor Orchestra at SPH on Saturday 10th of November. Our musicians represented SIS-PIK proudly, and the performance was delightful.

MANDARIN SHOW AND TELL

In November our pre-schoolers hosted the Mandarin Show and Tell. All our N2, K1 and K2 children performed in front of a very supportive audience of parents and teachers.  The children very successfully showcased what they have learned in Mandarin lessons. The objective of this activity is to develop the children’s creative expressions, confidence and self-esteem in the form of : greetings in Mandarin, singing Mandarin songs or rhymes and playing short story drama. The performances were wonderful, and the children were incredibly proud to show what they had learned. Parents were joyously surprised to see how much the children had learned Mandarin language.  

We Empower – we create learners who to create their own learning experiences.

GREEN WEEK – 5th – 9th November

Green Week was another important student-led initiative, and demonstrates the warm and caring leadership from our JC.  Our JC want to inspire a sustainable Green Movement in the school. They worked with the Primary students to help them understand the importance of recycling and even made them all vegetarians for a day!
