In commemoration of National Education Day, observed on 2nd May, Al Siddiq Junior High School organised a digital poster competition involving all students. This activity served as a platform for students to express their ideas, perspectives, and creativity in reflecting on the importance of education. The competition carried the broad theme of education, with the aim of encouraging students to convey their views on the role of education in everyday life. By utilising technology, all entries were created in digital form, aligning with current developments and the characteristics of today’s generation. During the event, students showed great enthusiasm in participating in the competition. A wide range of visually appealing, colourful, and meaningful poster designs were produced. This demonstrated the high level of creativity among Al Siddiq students, particularly in the field of digital art. The activity was also inspired by the spirit of Ki Hajar Dewantara, who emphasised that education should develop students’ potential in a holistic manner. Through this competition, students not only learned about educational concepts but also enhanced their creative and innovative thinking skills. The Head of Al Siddiq Junior High School, Mr Amal Dzikrullah, M.Pd., stated that the activity aimed to stimulate students’ creativity, particularly among Generation Z, who are closely connected to the digital world. “Through this digital poster competition, we aim to provide a space for students to express themselves while making positive use of technology,” he explained. Furthermore, this activity also served as an enjoyable learning experience, where students could learn while creating. It is hoped that through this initiative, students will be increasingly motivated to continue learning and developing their talents. With the spirit of National Education Day, Al Siddiq Secondary School remains committed to organising innovative activities that support the development of students’ character and creativity in the digital era.

In an effort to improve the quality of teaching and strengthen educators’ competencies, Al Siddiq Secondary School conducted a teacher supervision programme from 28th to 30th April. This activity was led directly by the Headteacher, Amaldzikrullah, M.Pd., as part of the school’s commitment to maintaining sustainable educational quality. The supervision was carried out through direct classroom observations during the teaching and learning process. The main focus of this activity was the reinforcement of language-based learning, particularly the use of English and Arabic in classroom instruction, in line with the school’s vision of nurturing a generation that is accomplished, religious, and globally minded. In its implementation, teachers had thoroughly prepared their teaching resources, including teaching modules, lesson plans, annual programmes (Prota), and semester programmes (Promes), as essential instruments supporting effective learning. In addition, the use of relevant teaching aids formed part of the effort to create more engaging and easily understood lessons for students. Well-prepared learning materials are a fundamental requirement in the teaching process, ensuring that lessons are delivered in a structured, purposeful, and systematic manner. With careful planning, learning content can be conveyed more effectively, making it easier for students to understand and master the material. Teachers’ ability to design and implement learning also plays a crucial role in accurately assessing students’ progress. This enables teachers to adopt teaching approaches that suit students’ needs, thereby encouraging the development of high-achieving learners. Beyond observation, the supervision programme also included discussion and reflection sessions between the Headteacher and the teachers. During these sessions, teachers received constructive feedback on teaching strategies, classroom management, and the integration of Islamic values into every lesson delivered. This supervision activity is a routine annual programme aimed at continuously enhancing teachers’ competencies. Through structured guidance, it is expected that teachers will continue to develop and deliver learning that is active, communicative, and meaningful. Through this initiative, Al Siddiq Secondary School further reinforces its commitment to nurturing a Qur’anic generation that excels not only academically but also possesses strong language skills and noble character.

This event serves as a platform for students to channel their interests and talents in the arts while also building confidence in competing. This year, the competition was held at SMP Negeri 11 Bekasi from Thursday, 30th April to 2nd May 2026, and was attended by participants from 12 districts across Bekasi City. The event ran successfully with the participation of various schools, including representatives from Al Siddiq International School, Bekasi. Al Siddiq Junior High School sent its best representatives to compete in the storytelling and solo singing categories. Both categories require strong expression, interpretation, and refined technique, making them both a challenge and a valuable experience for the participants. Throughout the event, the students were directly accompanied by subject teachers who provided guidance, motivation, and full support. This mentorship played an important role in building the students’ confidence when performing in front of the panel of judges. Despite the intense competition with participants from various schools, the enthusiasm of Al Siddiq students never wavered. They performed with confidence, showcasing their best abilities, which had been developed through intensive training with their mentors. The Head of Al Siddiq Junior High School stated that participation in the FLS3N is not solely about winning, but also about developing skills and broadening students’ experiences. “For us, every child has extraordinary potential. The school’s role is to support, guide, and provide space for that potential to develop optimally,” he said. Through the storytelling competition, students learn to convey stories with strong expression and imagination, while in the solo singing competition, they are trained to develop vocal skills, breathing techniques, and emotional interpretation of songs. Both fields demonstrate that Al Siddiq Junior High School focuses not only on academics but also on the development of arts and character. Participation in this event is expected to motivate all students to continue being courageous, creative, and proactive in developing their talents. With a spirit of perseverance, Al Siddiq Junior High School remains optimistic in its ability to compete and to nurture a generation that is creative, confident, and accomplished.

Al Siddiq Secondary School has once again held its Qur’an Munaqasyah as part of its monthly programme, supporting one of the school’s main missions: to develop students’ abilities in reading, memorising, and understanding the Qur’an. This programme reflects the school’s commitment to nurturing a generation that excels not only academically but also possesses a strong foundation of faith and Qur’anic character. Through consistent engagement with the Qur’an, the school hopes to produce students who uphold Qur’anic values as guidance in their daily lives. The Qur’an Munaqasyah is a memorisation certification examination specifically for students who have completed memorising at least one juz in full. This activity assesses not only the fluency of memorisation but also the quality of recitation in terms of tajwid, tahsin, and proper etiquette in reading and memorising the Qur’an. This programme is expected to inspire students to compete in memorising the Qur’an and to continuously improve the quality of their memorisation. With clear targets and structured evaluation, students become more motivated to complete their memorisation effectively. Passing the munaqasyah is a key requirement for students to receive a juz certificate from the school, as a form of appreciation for their achievement, discipline, and success in completing their Qur’anic memorisation. In this month’s implementation, a total of 18 students participated in the munaqasyah examination, consisting of: 5 students taking the Juz 27 memorisation test10 students taking the Juz 30 memorisation test3 students taking the Juz 29 memorisation test All participants were directly assessed by a panel of examiners comprising qualified Qur’an teachers from Al Siddiq Junior High School, who are experienced in tahfizh and tahsin. This monthly munaqasyah activity serves as clear evidence of Al Siddiq Junior High School’s dedication to fostering a Qur’anic culture within the school environment. It is hoped that through this programme, more students will be encouraged to increase their memorisation, maintain the quality of their recitation, and practise the teachings of the Qur’an in their daily lives. With a strong commitment to developing a Qur’anic generation, Al Siddiq Secondary School continues to strive to provide a balanced education that integrates intellectual, spiritual, and character development.
