Selamat Siang,

Although Seussical has come to an end, the excitement and joy it brought to our school community are still going strong! The students have continued to reflect on the wonderful memories they made and the fun they had throughout the process while working on their portfolios in Performing Arts. We have also started exploring drama elements through fun activities such as improvisation games, freeze frames, and character-building exercises.

We were very lucky to have Vanessa from RedBook Photography come in and take photos from the show. Here are some of her incredible photos that were captured for us to enjoy! 

We are also looking forward to all the exciting sport events coming up in the coming weeks! Make sure you check the reminders for these events below!

Indonesian Sister School Update: 

We’re excited to share that 3/4 students will soon begin writing pen pal letters as part of their Indonesian language practice! This is a fun and engaging way to build their skills and connect with other learners at our Sister School in Java.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out — but there’s no need to take any action. We’re looking forward to a great learning experience! Terima Kasih - Bu Yana
