Last Friday’s field trips took us on a journey from the Seken Living furniture factory to Suraloka Interactive Zoo where we met both artisans and animals!

Students in Grades 3 to 6 had an enriching experience learning about the craftsmanship behind furniture made from recycled teak wood. They gained valuable insights into recycling, environmental sustainability, and entrepreneurship. A big thank you to Ibu Vera and the Seken Living team for warmly sharing your knowledge with us!

The adventure didn’t stop there. We continued to Suraloka Interactive Zoo, where our Preschool to Grade 2 students had visited earlier that morning. From feeding parrots to observing binturongs, students had a blast interacting with the animals and are already excited for the next field trip!

The sun was out in full glory yesterday morning as our students dashed across the track at Mandala Krida Stadium! Ajeela and Zion, two of our PYP runners, gave it their best, sprinting like the wind in hopes of winning the competition. They didn’t take home the trophy this time, but they sure brought back a ton of experience (and a few fun stories) to fuel their next race!

A game to remember! YIS MYP-DP Basketball team and Bima Perkasa Jr. came together not just for the love of basketball, but to celebrate friendship, teamwork, and true sportsmanship.

Thank you Bima Perkasa Jr. for hosting yesterday's friendly basketball match. We'll see you again in another match.

With engaging activities like storytelling, book fairs, and word games, our students are celebrating Book Week. They have a chance to demonstrate their cultural awareness, literacy, and compassion during this occasion.

Tomorrow, our students will gather once again for the annual YIS Olympic Day at our school's sports fields. Have fun, students!

Today's event honors the legacy of R.A. Kartini, a trailblazer in the fields of education and women's rights, and showcases the depth of human expression and the power of narrative. Through literature, performances, and creative activities, YIS students were inspired to move beyond digital trends and connect with stories that reflect identity, culture, and diverse perspectives.

Happy Kartini Day!
