Throughout the day, the pupils learned to adapt to school life, became acquainted with simple classroom routines and expectations, and began building positive relationships with their teachers and friends. Before the end of the school day, each child received a small reward in recognition of their enthusiasm and participation during the day’s activities. This gesture was intended to create a positive and memorable first-school experience, encouraging the children to look forward to returning the following day with confidence and excitement.

PPDB Batch 6 Psychological Assessment and Observation at Al Siddiq International School

Alhamdulillah, as part of the Batch 6 New Student Admissions (PPDB) for the 2026/2027 Academic Year, Al Siddiq International School successfully conducted its Psychological Assessment and Observation Programme on Saturday, 20 June 2026. The event took place on the school campus from 8.00 a.m. to 12.00 noon (WIB) and was attended by prospective pupils applying for the Kindergarten and Primary School levels. The psychological assessments and observations were conducted in collaboration with AMNA Psychological Assessment Centre, a professional organisation with extensive experience in providing psychological evaluations for young children and primary-aged pupils. This programme forms an important stage of the admissions process, enabling the school to gain a comprehensive understanding of each applicant’s learning readiness, character, and individual potential. The primary purpose of the assessment was to evaluate each child’s cognitive development, social and emotional skills, communication abilities, and overall readiness to participate in learning at their chosen educational level. The results of the assessment serve not only as part of the admissions process but also as valuable information that helps the school provide educational support tailored to each child’s individual needs and potential. Throughout the programme, participants completed a range of age-appropriate assessment activities. Prospective Kindergarten pupils were primarily observed through play-based activities, communication tasks, and interactions with the psychologists and assessors. Meanwhile, applicants for the Primary School level completed psychological assessments designed to evaluate learning readiness, thinking skills, concentration, and other developmental aspects relevant to primary education. The programme was conducted in a well-organised, comfortable, and supportive environment. The team from the AMNA Psychological Assessment Centre, together with the Al Siddiq International School Admissions Committee, provided warm guidance and encouragement throughout the process, helping each child to participate confidently and comfortably. During the assessments, parents waited in the designated area prepared by the school until all activities had been completed. Through the successful implementation of the Batch 6 Psychological Assessment and Observation Programme, Al Siddiq International School once again demonstrated its commitment to delivering high-quality educational services from the very beginning of the admissions process. The school firmly believes that every child possesses unique strengths and potential, and that careful assessment is an essential first step in understanding each learner’s individual characteristics and educational needs. It is our sincere hope that the entire Batch 6 Admissions Programme will continue to run smoothly and provide the best possible outcomes for all prospective pupils. We look forward to welcoming a new generation of learners who will grow into individuals of excellent character, strong academic ability, and leadership potential, ready to embrace the future as members of the Al Siddiq International School community.By Arief Firmansyah, S.Kom

Refreshing the Kindergarten Classrooms at Al Siddiq International Kindergarten

The classroom refurbishment at Al Siddiq International Kindergarten took place on Thursday and Friday, 25–26 June 2026. The activity was carried out by the kindergarten teachers within their respective classrooms as part of the school’s preparations for the 2026/2027 Academic Year. This initiative represents an important step in creating a learning environment that is tidier, more comfortable, safer, and better suited to the developmental needs of young children. The classroom refurbishment was undertaken in response to the existing classroom layout, where the kindergarten learning spaces feature open roller doors and are separated only by storage lockers. Consequently, a thoughtful reorganisation was required to establish clearer boundaries between classrooms while maintaining an open, orderly, and welcoming environment. With careful planning, each classroom could provide a more conducive setting for learning, playing, and social interaction. The primary objective of this refurbishment was to create a well-organised learning environment that actively supports children’s development. A tidy and structured classroom helps children to concentrate more effectively, understand the different learning areas, and feel secure while participating in school activities. Furthermore, the improved classroom arrangement enables teachers to organise learning activities more efficiently, manage teaching resources effectively, and supervise pupils more comfortably throughout the school day. The benefits of the classroom refurbishment extend to both pupils and teachers. For the children, a well-organised classroom promotes comfort, enthusiasm for learning, and the development of positive habits such as keeping their environment tidy from an early age. For teachers, an organised classroom supports smoother lesson delivery, as learning materials and equipment are stored systematically and can be accessed easily whenever required. The repositioning of the storage lockers as classroom dividers also helps define each learning area while preserving the flexibility and openness of the available space. The refurbishment process began with a comprehensive decluttering session. Teachers carefully sorted through classroom resources, including teaching materials, educational media, toys, stationery, and other classroom equipment. Items that remained in good condition and were still suitable for use were neatly reorganised and stored, while damaged, unused, or unnecessary materials were removed to maximise the available classroom space. Once the sorting process had been completed, the teachers reorganised the classroom layout by repositioning the storage lockers and other furnishings. The lockers were arranged to function not only as storage units but also as practical dividers between classrooms. This arrangement was carefully planned with consideration for the children’s comfort, ease of movement, accessibility, and safety throughout daily learning activities. As a result, the classrooms retained their open atmosphere while providing clearer boundaries between each learning space. The final stage involved arranging all selected materials according to their purpose and function. Teaching resources, stationery, books, educational toys, and other classroom equipment were carefully placed in appropriate locations. Every area of the classroom was organised to create a clean, attractive, and practical learning environment for everyday use. This orderly arrangement also encourages children to develop simple organisational habits, such as returning items to their proper place after use. Through this classroom refurbishment initiative, the teachers of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten have demonstrated their commitment to providing the very best learning environment for every child. A classroom is not merely a place for academic learning; it is also a space where children grow, play, explore, develop independence, and build confidence. With the collaborative efforts of the teaching team, it is hoped that the refreshed classrooms will provide an even more comfortable, organised, and enjoyable environment in which every child can thrive throughout the new academic year.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

This important event marked the conclusion of the academic year and provided a comprehensive evaluation of each pupil’s learning progress and overall development throughout the year. The report card distribution was conducted with the active participation of parents and guardians, reflecting the strong partnership between the school and families in supporting every child’s growth and development. Through this occasion, parents received detailed information regarding their children’s academic achievements, character development, and the various strengths and potential they had demonstrated during the learning process. In addition to presenting the pupils’ academic results, class teachers provided individual feedback and held brief discussions with parents regarding each child’s progress in both academic and non-academic areas. These conversations were intended to encourage reflection, strengthen collaboration between home and school, and motivate pupils to continue improving their abilities while developing their unique talents and potential. The Principal of Al Siddiq International Primary School expressed sincere appreciation to all pupils for their hard work, perseverance, and enthusiasm for learning throughout the 2025/2026 Academic Year. The Principal also extended heartfelt gratitude to all parents and guardians for their unwavering support and active involvement in their children’s educational journey. The PSAT results are expected to serve not only as an indicator of each pupil’s academic achievement but also as a source of motivation to continue learning and striving for even greater success in the coming academic year. Every child possesses unique strengths and talents, and their educational journey can flourish through encouragement, patience, and close collaboration between the school and their families. May the achievements of this academic year become the foundation for even greater accomplishments in the future. We wish all our pupils and families a joyful and refreshing holiday, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back for the 2026/2027 Academic Year with renewed enthusiasm, fresh energy, and a continued passion for learning. May Allah SWT continue to bless and guide every step of our journey. Ameen.By: Yundara Ulfa Priatna, M.Pd.

This year’s Strategic Planning Meeting reflected a renewed commitment to continuous improvement through the strengthening of the school’s organisational structure. One of the key initiatives was the appointment of additional staff to support the Vice Principal for Curriculum and the Vice Principal for Student Affairs. These newly established positions are intended to enhance coordination, improve educational services, and ensure the effective implementation of school programmes, enabling the school to achieve its strategic goals more efficiently and effectively. During the meeting, the academic community also identified several priority programmes centred on strengthening Qur’anic education and enhancing academic excellence, which remain the distinctive pillars of Al Siddiq International Secondary School. These two areas are expected to serve as the foundation for nurturing a generation of pupils who are academically accomplished, firmly grounded in Islamic values, and equipped to excel in various fields. In addition, the school reaffirmed its commitment to character education by placing greater emphasis on cultivating a strong culture of discipline throughout the school community. The Student Council (OSIS) will also be empowered to take a more active leadership role in organising and managing school activities. Through these responsibilities, pupils will have greater opportunities to develop leadership, responsibility, teamwork, and social awareness. In the academic sphere, Al Siddiq International Secondary School will continue to expand its enrichment programmes by strengthening its flagship extracurricular activities, including Science, Mathematics, and Coding. These programmes are designed to nurture pupils’ individual talents while preparing them to participate successfully in academic competitions at both regional and national levels. Through the spirit of collaboration shared by the entire academic community, Al Siddiq International Secondary School is confident in its ability to deliver sustainable educational innovation and continuous improvement. It is hoped that every programme developed during the Strategic Planning Meeting will be implemented successfully, producing graduates who excel not only academically but also demonstrate strong Islamic character, effective leadership, and the ability to bring honour to the school through outstanding achievements. “Together, we are building a school that excels in Qur’anic education, academic achievement, character development, and excellence—preparing a future generation with noble character and the competence to thrive in a globally competitive world.”By Retno Suzanne Handayani, Lc, M.Pd

Kindergarten Teachers’ Strategic Planning Meeting in Preparation for the New Academic Year

The Al Siddiq International Kindergarten Teachers’ Strategic Planning Meeting for the 2026/2027 Academic Year was held from Monday to Friday, 22–26 June 2026. The meeting took place in the kindergarten classrooms and was attended by all Al Siddiq International Kindergarten teachers. This annual planning session is one of the school’s most important preparations before the beginning of a new academic year, providing teachers with the opportunity to carefully organise and develop every aspect of the learning programme in accordance with the developmental needs of young children. The primary objective of the meeting was to design the learning programmes, establish developmental indicators, and prepare a comprehensive educational plan for the 2026/2027 Academic Year. Throughout the discussions, teachers collaboratively reviewed the developmental needs of the children, identified the learning outcomes they aimed to achieve, and designed age-appropriate activities that reflected the characteristics and abilities of kindergarten pupils. Through careful planning, the school aims to create learning experiences that are enjoyable, meaningful, and supportive of each child’s holistic development. The meeting began with the preparation of the effective school calendar. During this session, teachers determined the official teaching days while taking into account public holidays, school holidays, special events, and other key activities scheduled throughout the academic year. Establishing the school calendar provides a strong foundation for organising the learning programme, ensuring that all activities are well coordinated and implemented according to schedule. Once the academic calendar had been finalised, the meeting continued with the selection of annual learning themes and classroom activities. Teachers discussed the themes that would be introduced throughout the year and developed engaging learning experiences aligned with the children’s developmental indicators. The programme was carefully designed to promote not only cognitive growth but also the development of religious and moral values, social and emotional skills, language development, physical and motor skills, and artistic expression. In addition to preparing the annual learning programme, the teachers also planned two important activities that would take place at the beginning of the new academic year: the School Orientation Programme (MPLS) and the Parent–Teacher Conference (PTC). The School Orientation Programme is designed to help children become familiar with their new school environment, enabling them to feel comfortable, secure, and ready to begin their learning journey. Meanwhile, the Parent–Teacher Conference serves as an important platform for communication between teachers and parents, allowing both parties to discuss each child’s development and establish a strong partnership throughout the academic year. Through this Strategic Planning Meeting, the teachers of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten were able to strengthen their shared vision, develop effective teaching strategies, and clearly define individual roles and responsibilities. Close collaboration among teachers remains essential to ensuring that every planned programme is implemented successfully. With thorough preparation and careful planning, the 2026/2027 Academic Year is expected to provide an active, enjoyable, and enriching learning experience that positively supports the growth and development of every child.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd
