Bekasi – July 2024
The 15th of July marked the beginning of the School Orientation Week (MPLS) for the 2024/2025 academic year. Alhamdulillah, this year Al Siddiq International School proudly welcomed more than 120 new students, spanning the Kindergarten, Primary, and Secondary levels.
The MPLS programme was livelier than ever, featuring a variety of engaging activities conducted over five days (and two weeks for Kindergarten pupils). The first day began with a welcoming ceremony, during which Ustadz Abdullah Haris, as the assembly leader, encouraged pupils to study diligently and make the most of their learning journey at Al Siddiq.
The day continued with class assignments, introductions to form teachers and classmates, making the first day both joyful and memorable. The following day, pupils participated in health and fire safety sessions conducted by the local community health centre (Puskesmas) and fire department officers. They learned how to respond to emergency fire situations, and excitement filled the air during the firefighting simulation, when teachers and security staff activated the water hose and the children gleefully played with the spray.
Throughout the MPLS week, students took part in a school tour, exploring various rooms, facilities, and meeting the school’s staff and employees. For the literacy and language programme, Al Siddiq invited a storyteller, who captivated students with tales brought to life through puppets — an activity that filled the hall with laughter and enthusiasm.
Leadership training was also provided for Secondary pupils through marching and discipline drills, while Kindergarten pupils enjoyed paper crafts, big-book storytelling, and fun sports activities on the Al Siddiq field.
Welcome to Al Siddiq International School — may your educational journey here be full of joy, growth, and inspiration!
