Fostering National Pride Through Project-Based Learning: SD Al-Siddiq International Pupils Create National Heroes Collages

To nurture a love for their country whilst developing pupils’ creativity, SD Al-Siddiq International conducted a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) activity entitled Indonesian National Heroes Collage on Friday, 30 October 2026. This project-based learning activity was designed as a creative and enjoyable way for pupils to become more familiar with Indonesia’s national heroes through collage artwork. The activity took place in a lively atmosphere, with pupils showing great enthusiasm at every stage of the collage-making process. Using a variety of materials and resources provided, they creatively arranged pictures of national heroes to produce attractive and meaningful pieces of artwork. Through this activity, pupils were not only encouraged to develop their artistic skills and creativity but were also introduced to the figures who played significant roles in Indonesia’s struggle for independence. Learning about these national heroes is expected to foster a sense of pride in the nation’s history and inspire pupils to follow their examples of determination, courage, sacrifice and patriotism. The Project-Based Learning approach provided pupils with the opportunity to learn through hands-on experience and the process of creating their own artwork. They learnt to express their ideas, select materials, combine colours and arrange various visual elements to create complete collages. This process also helped develop their attention to detail, patience, independence and ability to complete tasks. The classroom atmosphere became even more vibrant as the pupils began completing their individual creations. Each collage displayed its own distinctive character and uniqueness, reflecting the creativity and imagination of its creator. MasyaAllah, the pupils’ artwork was wonderfully diverse and creative, demonstrating an admirable spirit of national pride. This activity also served as an opportunity to integrate art education with character development. Through learning about national heroes, pupils are expected to understand that the independence they enjoy today is the result of the struggles and sacrifices of previous generations. Young people can embody this spirit of struggle through discipline, diligence in learning, responsibility, mutual respect and positive contributions to their surroundings. SD Al-Siddiq International consistently strives to provide meaningful, interactive and pupil-centred learning experiences. Through the Project-Based Learning approach, pupils gain experiences that go beyond understanding academic content, allowing them to explore, create and develop a wide range of skills. Alhamdulillah, the entire Indonesian National Heroes Collage activity proceeded smoothly and was filled with joy and enthusiasm. The pupils’ excitement and the results of their creative work demonstrated that learning can be both enjoyable and rich in educational values. May this activity help nurture a generation that is creative, well-rounded, patriotic and appreciative of the sacrifices made by the nation’s heroes. After all, becoming a hero in today’s world can begin with simple actions: studying diligently, doing good deeds and making a positive difference in the lives of others.By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

SMP Al-Siddiq International Student Wins First Place in Spelling Bee Competition

Every letter spelt is a step towards courage, every word spoken reflects perseverance, and every achievement is the fruit of an unwavering passion for learning. BEKASI, 8 November 2026 — The competitive spirit and culture of achievement have once again been demonstrated by the students of SMP Al-Siddiq International. This time, exciting news comes from the Spelling Bee Competition, organised by English One and held at the English One Jatiasih Office, Bekasi, on Sunday, 8 November 2026. A total of 20 students from SMP Al-Siddiq International took part in this competition, which tested their ability to spell English vocabulary accurately, quickly and confidently. The event provided an opportunity for students to sharpen their language skills whilst developing their concentration, attention to detail, courage and readiness to face challenges. Amidst the competition, which demanded precision with every letter and accuracy in every pronunciation, the students of SMP Al-Siddiq International delivered an impressive performance. Of the 20 students who participated, nine successfully advanced to the final round: Khalisa Adinta Rukmiputri, Kirana, Sa’diya Fatima, Celia Luthfiatunnisa Afifah, Rafandra Aqlan Himawan, Adrian Jagad Alfatara, Cordelia Elodie Rizal, Jagad Abdullah El Muharram and Muhammad Luthfian Rasyid.

His remarkable achievement brought great honour to SMP Al-Siddiq International. More Than Just Spelling: A Journey Towards Building Self-Confidence A Spelling Bee is more than simply a competition in which letters are arranged to form words. Behind every spelling challenge lies a learning process involving memory, vocabulary comprehension, listening skills, concentration and the courage to perform in front of others. This competition provided a valuable experience for students to develop their English language skills, which are essential in preparing them for an increasingly globalised world. They learnt that success is determined not only by knowledge but also by composure, perseverance and the courage to face challenges. The participation of 20 students, the achievement of nine finalists and the First Place victory represent positive milestones for SMP Al-Siddiq International in its efforts to nurture a generation that is competitive, communicative and confident. Nurturing a Generation That Dares to Dream and Achieve This achievement also highlights the importance of synergy between classroom learning and competition experiences beyond the school environment. Through activities such as this, students gain opportunities to assess their abilities, broaden their experiences and develop a lasting enthusiasm for learning. For SMP Al-Siddiq International, every student who dares to step onto the competition stage has already achieved a victory of their own. After all, the courage to try is the beginning of success, whilst perseverance is the pathway to achievement. Congratulations to Muhammad Luthfian Rasyid on winning First Place, and appreciation goes to Cordelia Elodie Rizal, Jagad Abdullah El-Muharram, and all participating students for their dedication and enthusiasm throughout the competition. May this achievement inspire all students to continue developing their potential, broadening their horizons and having the confidence to showcase their very best abilities.

Ready for an Adventure! Let’s Learn the Rules Before Our Field Trip!

Ahead of their upcoming field trip to Cimory Dairyland Riverside, the pupils of TK Al-Siddiq International took part in an educational activity about Do’s and Don’ts on Monday, 2 November 2026. The activity was conducted in each classroom with their respective class teachers. Through this activity, the children were encouraged to understand what they should and should not do during the field trip, ensuring that their learning experience outside school would be safe, well-organised and enjoyable. The activity began with the teachers informing the children that, in two days’ time, they would be going on a field trip with their friends and teachers. Upon hearing the exciting news, the children appeared enthusiastic and eager as they imagined the adventure ahead. The teachers then invited them to discuss the activities they would be taking part in and explained the importance of following rules when outside the school environment. Next, the teachers introduced the concept of Do’s and Don’ts, explaining what children should and should not do during the field trip. Examples of appropriate behaviour included listening to the teachers’ instructions, staying with the group, keeping the surroundings clean, queuing patiently and treating the animals they encountered with kindness. Meanwhile, behaviours to avoid included running around without supervision, wandering away from the group, littering, shouting excessively, and disturbing or hurting animals. After listening to the explanations, the children were invited to express their understanding through a drawing activity. Each child was asked to choose one of the behaviours explained by the teacher, either from the Do’s or Don’ts category. Through this activity, the children could creatively express what they had learnt whilst reinforcing their understanding of the rules they needed to follow during the field trip. The excitement continued as each child was given the opportunity to present and explain their drawing in front of the class. They described their artwork and explained whether the behaviour illustrated was something they should do (Do’s) or should not do (Don’ts). After completing their presentations, they placed their drawings on the whiteboard under the appropriate category. This activity provided the children with an opportunity to practise speaking in front of their classmates, express their opinions and learn to classify different behaviours according to the rules they had discussed. Through this educational activity, the children were not only prepared for their upcoming field trip but were also encouraged to develop discipline, independence, responsibility and care for their surroundings. They learnt that following rules is not simply an obligation, but also an important way to protect their own safety and that of others. Furthermore, the drawing and simple presentation activities helped develop their creativity, language skills and self-confidence. Through this preparation, all pupils of TK Al-Siddiq International are expected to be better prepared for their field trip and understand how to behave appropriately in public places. This simple preparation marks the first step towards creating a safe, well-organised and memorable learning experience beyond the classroom. Because every wonderful experience begins with good preparation!By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

SD Al Siddiq International Enhances Teacher and School Administrator Competence Through E-Rapor 2025.1 Training

In its commitment to improving the quality of administrative management and learning assessment, SD Al-Siddiq International continues to develop the professional competence of its teaching and non-teaching staff through various training and professional development programmes. One such initiative was its participation in a professional development programme focusing on the use of the E-Rapor Application version 2025.1, organised by the Private Primary School Principals’ Working Group (K3SDS) ASIK (Adaptive, Solution-Oriented, Innovative and Creative) of Pondokgede District, Bekasi City. For this programme, SD Al-Siddiq International sent three representatives, consisting of two teachers and one school administrator. The participating teachers were Mrs Jasmine and Mrs Liha, whilst the school administration representative was Mr Hardi. The training took place on Thursday, 5 November 2026, at SD Yatim Assyafiiyah, Jalan Raya Jatiwaringin No. 76, Jaticempaka, Pondokgede District, Bekasi City. The programme ran from 7.30 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. Western Indonesia Time (WIB) and was attended by representatives from private primary schools across Pondokgede District. The training was organised as part of an initiative to enhance teachers’ and school administrators’ understanding and practical skills in operating the E-Rapor Application version 2025.1. Proficiency in this application is an important aspect of supporting the administration of students’ learning assessments, ensuring that the process is carried out more effectively, systematically, accurately and in an integrated manner. The programme began with a sharing session on best practices in using the E-Rapor Application, involving both school administrators and teachers. Through this session, participants had the opportunity to exchange experiences, knowledge and solutions to various technical challenges that may arise when managing and entering students’ assessment results. In addition to the best-practice sharing session, the programme also included a professional development session led by a school supervisor for school principals. This session was conducted via Zoom Meeting from 12.00 noon to 1.00 p.m. Its purpose was to provide further guidance to school principals on the management and effective use of E-Rapor as part of the learning assessment system within educational institutions. For Mrs Jasmine and Mrs Liha, the programme provided an opportunity to deepen their understanding of how technology can support the learning assessment process. Meanwhile, Mr Hardi’s participation as the school administrator is expected to strengthen his technical skills in managing the E-Rapor system, enabling the school’s assessment administration processes to operate more efficiently and effectively. The participation of these three SD Al-Siddiq International representatives reflects the school’s commitment to keeping pace with developments in the education sector, particularly in the use of digital technology within the school environment. Collaboration between teachers and school administrators is essential to ensuring that students’ learning outcomes are properly managed and that the quality of educational services continues to improve. Through this programme, the knowledge, experience and best practices gained are expected to be implemented and shared with all teaching and non-teaching staff at SD Al-Siddiq International. In this way, professional development will not only benefit those who attended the training but will also have a positive impact on the wider school community. SD Al-Siddiq International continues to foster a culture of continuous learning and professional growth among all its educators. After all, quality education is determined not only by the learning process in the classroom but also by effective administrative management, reliable assessment systems and the professional competence of its human resources. It is hoped that this programme will further strengthen SD Al-Siddiq International’s readiness to deliver high-quality educational services, adapt to technological developments and remain committed to improving learning standards and students’ academic achievements.By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

Muhammad Fachri Al Bukhari, An SMP Al Siddiq International Student, Takes The Stsge as A Guest Star at The 2026 West Java Provincial Sports Week (PORPROV)

From the classroom to a prestigious provincial stage, a young talent from SMP Al-Siddiq International has once again written an inspiring story. It is a journey in which talent, courage and opportunity come together in harmony, creating a moment of achievement. BEKASI, 7 November 2026 — The light of achievement shines once again at SMP Al-Siddiq International. This time, the school takes great pride in Muhammad Fachri Al Bukhari, a Year 7 student, who was once again honoured with the special opportunity to perform as a guest star at the 2026 West Java Provincial Sports Week (PORPROV Jawa Barat 2026). The event took place on Saturday, 7 November 2026, at Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium, Bekasi. This prestigious provincial sporting event provided a special platform for Fachri to showcase his artistic talent and abilities. Moreover, with the Governor of West Java also in attendance, his appearance as a guest star became an invaluable and memorable experience, bringing great pride to the entire SMP Al-Siddiq International community. From the Classroom to the Provincial Stage The opportunity to perform at a major event is not an everyday experience, particularly for a student who is still in Year 7. However, Muhammad Fachri Al Bukhari has demonstrated that young age is no barrier to creativity and the development of one’s potential. Being entrusted once again with the role of guest star is an achievement worthy of recognition. Amidst the excitement of a sporting event that brings together the spirit of competition, camaraderie and regional pride, Fachri added a distinctive touch through his artistic talent. His presence sends a powerful message that education is not merely about acquiring knowledge, but also about providing a space for students to discover, nurture and develop their talents, enabling them to reach wider audiences and greater stages. A Source of Pride for the School and Inspiration for Young Generations For SMP Al-Siddiq International, the opportunity achieved by Fachri is both an honour and a source of great pride. His participation in a provincial-level event reflects the tremendous potential of students to grow and achieve beyond the boundaries of the classroom. Achievements and opportunities of this kind are in line with the school’s educational philosophy, which not only emphasises academic excellence but also provides opportunities for the development of creativity, character, courage and self-confidence. Fachri serves as an example of how every child possesses unique qualities that can blossom into achievements when nurtured through perseverance, supported by opportunities and pursued with dedication. Shining Bright and Inspiring Others Muhammad Fachri Al Bukhari’s participation in the 2026 West Java Provincial Sports Week is expected to inspire all students at SMP Al-Siddiq International to continue exploring their potential and to have the courage to embrace greater opportunities. The school extends its appreciation and heartfelt pride for the special opportunity Fachri has achieved. May this experience become a stepping stone towards further accomplishments, whilst inspiring other students to continue creating, contributing and bringing honour to the school. Ultimately, education is not simply about how much knowledge one acquires, but also about how each individual’s potential finds its own path to grow, flourish and make a meaningful contribution. From the small stage where dreams first begin to grow, to the grand stage where courage is put to the test, every child deserves the opportunity to shine. And on that day, at Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium, another young dream from SMP Al-Siddiq International found its stage. Congratulations and continued success, Muhammad Fachri Al Bukhari! Keep creating, inspiring and achieving great things.By Retno Suzanne Handayani, Lc, M.Pd
