Al Siddiq International Primary School Welcomes a Native English Speaker

/

Al-Siddiq International School is an international educational institution that offers a curriculum and learning methods based on global standards, with a bilingual approach using both English and Arabic in daily learning. The school provides education where English and Arabic serve as the main languages of instruction, reflecting its commitment to preparing students for an increasingly globalised world. On 18 September 2024, Al-Siddiq International Primary School welcomed a Native English Speaker from the United States of America, Ms. Fatimah Az Zahra. 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. The purpose of this programme was to give Al-Siddiq International Primary School students a more exclusive and authentic English-learning experience with a native speaker. 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. And grade 1 boys… they were amazing. It was a little bit crowded but I loved that they were so enthusiastic about this event.” The event ran smoothly and successfully without any obstacles. This semester, Al-Siddiq International Primary School has hosted two native English speakers. Previously, the school also invited native speakers from Australia and South Africa. This initiative was carried out with the hope of inspiring students to use English more confidently in their daily lives, and to strengthen the school’s commitment to nurturing globally minded learners.

/

Bekasi – March 2024 The activities held during Ramadhan 1445H at Al Siddiq International School included Ifthor Jama’i (communal breaking of the fast) and Malam Bina Iman dan Takwa (Mabit – Night of Faith and Devotion). These events took place on 27 and 28 March 2024, involving all pupils from Kindergarten, Primary, and Secondary levels. The communal iftar on Wednesday, 27 March, began with an opening session where pupils gathered in Masjid Al Siddiq to listen to a short Islamic sermon (tausiyah). Pupils were then divided into small groups for mentoring sessions, Qur’an recitation, storytelling on Islamic history, and collective supplications (doa and dzikir) before sunset. During the iftar preparations, parents also took part through the school committees of each level, adding to the joyful atmosphere of the event. On this occasion, the committee organised a charity programme for orphans, who were also invited to join the communal iftar. After breaking the fast, everyone performed Maghrib prayers in congregation, followed by dinner and Tarawih prayers. Pupils who joined the Mabit stayed overnight in several classrooms together with their teachers. The Mabit programme included various religious activities such as Tahajjud prayers, Qur’an recitation, and enjoyable late-night sessions, especially designed for Kindergarten pupils. As this Mabit was the first-ever overnight Ramadhan event held by Al Siddiq International School, it left many meaningful impressions. Pupils expressed their joy at being able to spend the night at school independently (without their parents) while experiencing the serenity of night worship and strengthening their faith before the upcoming school break. This Mabit activity also served as the culmination of all Ramadhan programmes at Al Siddiq International School. [Ed.]By ESTY INDRASWARIANI, S.Sos

Ramadhan Social Service Activity

/

Bekasi – March 2024, Al Siddiq International School, a well-known educational institution recognised for its dedication and commitment to providing quality education, once again demonstrated its spirit of social care through meaningful community service. With the spirit of giving and togetherness, the school organised a series of social service activities for residents around the school. On Friday, 22 March 2024, pupils, teachers, and staff of Al Siddiq International School enthusiastically gathered to carry out their latest social project. The activity aimed to provide essential food packages (sembako) to those in need while fostering a sense of empathy and compassion among the pupils. A total of 244 food packages were collected through contributions from the school committee and parents across the Kindergarten, Primary, and Secondary levels. The Director of Education, Ustadz Abdullah Haris, expressed that social values and compassion are integral parts of the school’s educational vision. “Our goal is not only to develop academically intelligent pupils but also individuals who are caring and sensitive to the needs of the surrounding community,” he stated. During the event, pupils worked hand in hand with teachers, school staff, and the school committee to collect, sort, and pack the food packages, which were then distributed to underprivileged families living near the school. With great enthusiasm, the pupils personally handed the aid packages to local residents, learning first-hand the importance of giving and sharing while nurturing valuable values of empathy and social awareness. The activity also served as an opportunity for teachers to directly guide pupils in practising these social values. They did not only act as educators in the classroom but also as role models actively engaging in community service. “This activity is held to enliven the spirit of the holy month of Ramadhan. Seeing the pupils’ enthusiasm and involvement in this social project is truly heart-warming. They are learning that being part of a community also means having a responsibility to help one another,” said Mr. Triyoga, Head of the Secondary School Committee of Al Siddiq International. This social service project was not the first organised by Al Siddiq International School. The school has previously held regular ‘Friday Blessings’ programmes, where food is shared with both school members and the surrounding community. Through these initiatives, Al Siddiq International School has succeeded in creating an environment that nurtures not only academic growth but also social development. The spirit of compassion and solidarity cultivated within the school serves as a strong foundation for shaping empathetic and responsible future generations. Through its social service initiatives, Al Siddiq International School has truly shown that education is not only about gaining knowledge, but also about nurturing individuals who make a positive contribution to society.
