Have you ever wondered what is it like inside a factory?

Last week, our Grade 5 and 6 students were lucky enough to visit PT Sport Glove Indonesia, one of the factories that produce high-quality gloves in Yogyakarta.

Students were able to see an impressive real-life working environment and learn about all the procedures that go into producing a huge variety of gloves - from receiving raw materials to finished product assembly and quality checks.

The trip was made in relation to our unit of inquiry: ‘How We Organize Ourselves.’ The central idea of this unit is “social organizations impact upon the well-being of individuals in a community”. The trip was educational and fun and helped the students think more about how a working community functions. Thank you to everyone at PT. Sport Glove Indonesia for supporting our school and students.

Grade 9 students were excited to display their creativity through the use of books as artistic objects and foster the love for reading.

“Book Face Activity” involved strategically lining up the face or another body part alongside a book cover that features a matching body part so that it appears a melding of life and art.

On the 14 and 16 February, our Grade 9 students held a fundraising event to help the unlucky dogs at Ron Ron Dog Care, a dog shelter in Yogyakarta. This event is held as a part of the Service as Action (SA) Programme in MYP. The students organized, prepared, cook, and sold delicious food and drinks to the YIS community.

We would like to say thank you to everyone who donate and support our Grade 9 students' fundraising event. We woof you!

Two weeks ago, the YIS Middle Years Programme students attended a workshop with our school counselor that helped them to know themselves better and taught them to accept and celebrate differences.

As a continuation of the previous workshop, yesterday our MYP students took an MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) personality test which also help them to know who they really are. By knowing their personality, the students can understand their preferences and the preferences of other people and how or why these might be different.

Soekarno, Kartini, Bung Tomo, Cut Nyak Dien and Habibie are familiar names to the Indonesian people. They are national figures who have given their lives for Indonesia's independence.

Last Friday, our Grade 10 students in the Bahasa Indonesia class had presentations about those national figures after research; focusing on their biographies and their values. By having the presentation, it is expected that the students become inspired and are able to make a self-reflection in order to make a big leap toward their success.
