Bekasi – November 2023, This November began with an outdoor activity for the pupils of Al Siddiq International Junior High School: the Educational Students Nights Out (ESNO). This was their very first overnight trip outside the city, designed to train pupils in leadership and independence.
The two-day, one-night programme took place in the Puncak area, West Java. Pupils joined the activity without parental accompaniment, making it a valuable experience as they spent time together with their peers and teachers.
The agenda included sessions on Latihan Dasar Kepemimpinan Siswa (Student Leadership Basic Training) and motivational talks, as well as a variety of leadership games to strengthen teamwork. There were also counselling sessions and qiyamul lail (night prayers). On the following morning, pupils took part in morning exercise, scout-related activities (hiking), and outdoor challenges.
Alhamdulillah, the ESNO programme ran smoothly, and the pupils of Al Siddiq Junior High School thoroughly enjoyed their time together. It is hoped that this event will strengthen bonds among pupils, and between pupils and teachers, while also building self-confidence and motivating them to strive for even greater achievements in the future.
