A Memorable Learning Experience that Strengthened Student Unity, Paseban, 31 October 2024 – The Educational Student Night Out (ESNO) programme organised by SMP Al-Siddiq International School at Bumi Paseban was a great success, filled with enthusiasm and valuable experiences. The event, held from 30–31 October 2024, was attended by all students and teachers of SMP Al-Siddiq.
Carrying the theme “Learning Beyond the Classroom”, ESNO 2024 aimed to provide students with a different kind of learning experience through outdoor activities. Over two days, students participated in various engaging sessions designed to develop leadership skills, teamwork, and character building. Among the activities were Active Arabic and English sessions, team-building exercises, educational games, nature exploration, and group discussions led by supervising teachers.
In his opening remarks, Mr. Yusuf Yudhana, Principal of SMP Al-Siddiq, expressed that ESNO 2024 was not merely an opportunity for fun but also a means to foster self-confidence and strengthen bonds among students.
“Activities like this train our students to think creatively, collaborate effectively, and take initiative. These are essential qualities for shaping them into future leaders,” said Mr. Yusuf.
Teachers also took an active role throughout the programme, including Ustadz Aziz, who led sessions focused on spiritual development, such as congregational Tahajjud prayer. The ESNO event thus became a meaningful moment to balance academic learning and spiritual growth, while deepening the connection between students and teachers.
As ESNO 2024 concluded, students returned home with valuable experiences and cherished memories. The programme not only broadened their horizons beyond the classroom but also strengthened unity and camaraderie within the school community. The school hopes that this activity will continue in the coming years with even greater innovation and excitement.
