Bekasi, 13 July 2026 – Al Siddiq International School Secondary officially launched its School Orientation Programme (MPLS) for the 2026/2027 Academic Year on Monday, 13 July 2026. The opening ceremony took place at the Al Siddiq International School Assembly Ground and marked the beginning of the orientation programme for new students.
The ceremony was led by the Director of Al Siddiq International School, Mr Ginandjar Citra Cimarga, M.Pd., and was attended by all newly enrolled students from the Kindergarten, Primary, and Secondary divisions. The event was conducted with dignity, order, and great enthusiasm as students took their first steps into their new learning environment.
In his opening address, Mr Ginandjar Citra Cimarga emphasised that the School Orientation Programme is far more than an introduction to the school environment. It serves as an important opportunity to instil strong character, discipline, responsibility, and a lifelong enthusiasm for learning in every new student. He encouraged students to make the most of their school years by developing academic excellence, noble Islamic values, creativity, and leadership skills.
The ceremony was organised and conducted by the Student Council of Al Siddiq International School Secondary, whose members carried out their responsibilities with professionalism and dedication. Their active involvement demonstrated exemplary student leadership while providing inspiration and encouragement for the new students joining the school community.
Adding to the vibrant atmosphere, the new students proudly wore personalised name badges that they had designed themselves. The wide variety of creative and colourful designs reflected their enthusiasm, individuality, and excitement as they celebrated their first day at school.
As a symbolic gesture marking the official commencement of the 2026/2027 School Orientation Programme, the Director ceremonially presented the MPLS participant badges to representatives of the new male and female students. This meaningful tradition signified the official opening of the orientation programme and served as a memorable milestone for all new students.
Guided by a spirit of unity and togetherness, this year’s MPLS opening ceremony was designed to provide every new student with a positive and enjoyable first experience at school while fostering self-confidence, discipline, and a strong sense of belonging within the school community.
Through the School Orientation Programme, Al Siddiq International School reaffirms its commitment to nurturing students with strong Islamic character, a global outlook, and outstanding leadership qualities, in line with the school’s vision of developing a generation that excels academically, demonstrates exemplary moral character, and is well prepared to meet the challenges of an increasingly interconnected world.
