Healthy Together: Local Health Centre Conducts Medical Check-up at Al Siddiq Secondary School

/

On Friday, 20 September 2024, Al Siddiq International Secondary School received a visit from the local health centre (Puskesmas) team for a health screening programme aimed at both students and teachers. This activity formed part of the school’s health initiative, designed to ensure that all members of the school community maintain optimal physical well-being. The health check-up covered several aspects, including body weight and height measurements, blood pressure checks, dental examinations, and general health assessments. In addition, the medical team provided health education on topics such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, personal hygiene, and the importance of regular exercise. The Principal of Al Siddiq International Secondary School, Mr Yusuf Yudhana, warmly welcomed the programme, stating: “Health is a vital asset for both students and teachers. Through regular medical check-ups like this, we hope to maintain the overall well-being of our school community and create a better learning environment.” In addition to the students, teachers also participated in health screenings, including blood sugar tests and HIV screening. These are essential to ensure that educators remain in good health, given their crucial role in daily teaching and learning. One of the teachers, Mr Umair, shared, “This activity is very beneficial, especially for us teachers who are often busy with lessons. Sometimes we overlook our health, so this check-up helps us pay more attention to our physical condition.” Students showed great enthusiasm during the event, particularly during the health education sessions. Bagas, a Year 8 student, commented, “I was really happy to be checked by the doctor. We learned a lot about how important it is to take care of our health, especially as we prepare for exams.” The programme is expected to be conducted regularly as a preventive effort to maintain the health of all school members. The visit from the Puskesmas also highlighted the importance of collaboration between educational institutions and healthcare providers in fostering a healthy environment that supports students’ overall development.By Bagus Asri Wibawa, B.A., LL.B

Al Siddiq Primary School Goes to Seaworld & Ocean Dream Samudra – Ancol

/

Learning is a process of building knowledge. It does not only take place in the classroom — students also need to see and experience what they have learned directly in the real world. This idea formed the basis for Al Siddiq International Primary School’s Educational Field Trip to Seaworld and Ocean Dream Samudra – Ancol, held on 19 September 2024. The field trip was attended by all students from Years 1, 2, 4, and 5. The event was also organised to mark the completion of the Mid-Semester Summative Assessment, which had taken place the previous week. The students were extremely enthusiastic about joining this trip, as it provided not only an enjoyable experience but also a well-deserved break after preparing for and completing their assessments. Ms Reni Oktavia, S.Si., M.Pd., the Head of Al Siddiq International Primary School, explained that the field trip was integrated with several subjects, including Social Studies, Citizenship Education, Science, and others. “Learning does not only happen inside the classroom — it can also take place while playing and exploring outside. After finishing their mid-term assessments, students also need time to refresh their minds. This activity is important as it provides a learning experience through play while helping students, especially Year 1 pupils, develop independence,”said Ms Reni. Each year, Al-Siddiq Primary School holds a Field Trip involving all students. In 2023, the school visited Animalium and Inagro in Bogor. In the future, Al-Siddiq International School plans to continue organising Educational Field Trips to various destinations that provide enriching and educational experiences for its students. By.

Al Siddiq Kindergarten Students Create Beaded Bracelets

/

On Thursday, 19 September 2024, the students of Al Siddiq Kindergarten took part in a beading activity as part of their Project-Based Learning (PjBL) programme. This activity was designed to provide a fun and interactive learning experience, allowing the children to learn through play. Under the guidance of their teachers, the students eagerly selected and arranged colourful beads to create their very own handmade bracelets. The beading activity aimed to develop students’ fine motor skills, while also enhancing their creativity, patience, and focus. Through this task, the children were encouraged to concentrate carefully, as creating a bracelet requires precision and attention to detail. In addition, the activity helped them recognise different colours and shapes, improve hand–eye coordination, and build patience, as each bracelet was completed through several thoughtful steps. The teachers provided clear and enjoyable instructions, ensuring that every child could easily follow along and enjoy the process. Once finished, the students proudly displayed their beautiful bracelets to their classmates. The bracelets they created were not only a symbol of creativity but also a reflection of their effort, perseverance, and sense of achievement. Through this activity, it is hoped that the students will not only gain practical skills but also develop greater confidence and appreciation for their own work.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Three Al Siddiq International Primary School Students Reach the Finals of the Storytelling Competition

/

Al Siddiq International Primary School has once again achieved a proud accomplishment. Three students from Years 4 and 5 successfully advanced to the final round of the 2024 Storytelling Competition in Indonesian Language for primary school level (SD/MI or equivalent) across Bekasi City, surpassing 165 other participants. The Storytelling Competition in Indonesian Language 2024 was organised by the Bekasi City Department of Archives and Regional Library as part of its effort to promote a reading culture among the people of Bekasi. This competition was integrated into the students’ learning process, aiming to foster literacy and a love of reading from an early age. Beyond being a competition, it also serves as a form of appreciation and motivation for young learners in Bekasi’s primary schools, both public and private, particularly for pupils in Years 4 to 6. The three Al-Siddiq International Primary School finalists were Ayanara Madiinah Adzani, Queensya Nahda Permana, and Fathimah Tsabitah. Although they did not win the top prizes, their success in reaching the final round—beating 165 other participants—was an outstanding achievement for Al-Siddiq International Primary School, especially considering that the school is not yet two years old. Their achievement has truly brought pride to the school community. The storytelling coaches, Ms. Dara and Ms. Amel, both teachers at Al-Siddiq International Primary School, expressed their pride and joy in the students’ success. They stated: “This is the best result we could hope for. Alhamdulillah, we have done our best, although we admit that the preparation of the props was not optimal due to limited time. However, this experience has given us valuable lessons to improve for future competitions.” This remarkable achievement serves as an inspiration for other Al Siddiq International Primary School students to continue striving for excellence and developing their potential. Hopefully, in future competitions, Al-Siddiq students will achieve even greater success, marking the beginning of many more outstanding accomplishments in the years to come.

She is an experienced educator who has taught at various schools across Indonesia and is currently teaching English at a primary school in the country. The event took place from 08:00 to 11:00, during which each class had the opportunity to meet and interact directly with Ms. Fatimah in turns.

Ms. Fatimah shared her impressions of the students’ enthusiasm, saying: “Grade 4 and grade 5 students were good! And I loved teaching them. The girls from grade 1 and 2 were so sweet.

Al-Siddiq Secondary School Welcomes a Native Speaker

/

In an effort to enhance students’ English proficiency and broaden their international outlook, Al-Siddiq International Secondary School has launched a programme titled “Learning Beyond Borders.” The programme features a native speaker, Ms. Fatimah Az Zahra, from the United States, who has extensive experience in teaching English, particularly in Indonesia. Ms. Fatimah Az Zahra is an educator with over eight years of teaching experience in various educational institutions across Indonesia, including both formal schools and language centres. She is well known for her interactive and communicative teaching approach, which helps students feel more confident when speaking English. The programme aims to provide students with a deeper and more authentic language-learning experience, enabling them to master English skills comprehensively within a global context. The presence of a native speaker offers a unique learning opportunity, as students can interact directly with a natural English user, experience the dynamics of everyday conversation, and improve their pronunciation and listening comprehension in real time. This initiative aligns with the school’s mission to prepare students for global challenges in the modern era. “We believe that learning a language is not just about theory, but also about practice and real-life experience. By inviting a native speaker, our students can learn to communicate naturally and understand the cultural context embedded in the language,”said Mr. Yusuf Yudhana, Head of Al-Siddiq International Junior High School. Throughout the programme, students participated in various interactive activities, including conversations, Q&A sessions, and real-life English simulations. Through this approach, students not only improved their language skills but also gained greater confidence in communication. One of the students, Tama from Year 8, shared his enthusiasm: “I’m really happy to be able to speak directly with a native speaker. It gave me the chance to test my skills and learn how to speak more naturally.” With initiatives like this, Al-Siddiq International Secondary School continues to demonstrate its commitment to delivering high-quality, globally oriented education. It is hoped that through this valuable learning experience, students will further develop their English skills and be well-prepared to compete in an increasingly globalised world.By Bagus Asri Wibawa, B.A., LL.B

/

On Tuesday, 17 September 2024, in learning and reflecting upon the story of the Birth of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, Al-Siddiq International Kindergarten held a Storytelling Session to commemorate the Maulid Nabi 1446 Hijri. The session was delivered by Ustadz Fachrizza Mudzakky, S.H., Al-Hafidz, who serves as the Qur’an teacher at Al-Siddiq Kindergarten. The event was filled with great enthusiasm and excitement as the pupils listened attentively to inspiring stories about the life of the Prophet. They were introduced to key moments surrounding the Prophet’s birth — such as the arrival of the army of elephants that intended to destroy the Ka’bah, but by Allah’s will, the birds of Ababil came carrying stones of fire to protect it, as well as the introduction to the family members of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. The activity took place in the Al-Siddiq International School Mosque after the pupils had performed Dhuha prayer together. It was held to instil love for Prophet Muhammad S.A.W in the hearts of the children from an early age. Through the storytelling, which was delivered in a simple and engaging way suited to young learners, the main aim was to help them become more familiar with the Prophet — a role model for all Muslims. In addition, it is hoped that through this celebration, the children will be inspired to emulate the values of kindness, compassion, and leadership exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd
