Selamat Siang, 

Indonesian Day is quickly approaching! Next week on the 15th August, the school will be bedecked in merah dan putih. Students will be participating in a variety of activities and games to celebrate Indonesian culture. We are also excited to welcome back Sanggar Lestari, who will be providing dance workshops for F-2 and Angklung workshops for the 5/6 students. So remember to wear your red and white or Indonesian clothes Thursday next week!
