Bekasi – July 2024 The 15th of July marked the beginning of the School Orientation Week (MPLS) for the 2024/2025 academic year. Alhamdulillah, this year Al Siddiq International School proudly welcomed more than 120 new students, spanning the Kindergarten, Primary, and Secondary levels. The MPLS programme was livelier than ever, featuring a variety of engaging activities conducted over five days (and two weeks for Kindergarten pupils). The first day began with a welcoming ceremony, during which Ustadz Abdullah Haris, as the assembly leader, encouraged pupils to study diligently and make the most of their learning journey at Al Siddiq. The day continued with class assignments, introductions to form teachers and classmates, making the first day both joyful and memorable. The following day, pupils participated in health and fire safety sessions conducted by the local community health centre (Puskesmas) and fire department officers. They learned how to respond to emergency fire situations, and excitement filled the air during the firefighting simulation, when teachers and security staff activated the water hose and the children gleefully played with the spray. Throughout the MPLS week, students took part in a school tour, exploring various rooms, facilities, and meeting the school’s staff and employees. For the literacy and language programme, Al Siddiq invited a storyteller, who captivated students with tales brought to life through puppets — an activity that filled the hall with laughter and enthusiasm. Leadership training was also provided for Secondary pupils through marching and discipline drills, while Kindergarten pupils enjoyed paper crafts, big-book storytelling, and fun sports activities on the Al Siddiq field. Welcome to Al Siddiq International School — may your educational journey here be full of joy, growth, and inspiration! [Ed.]By ESTY INDRASWARIANI, S.Sos

Bekasi – December 2023 Towards the end of the first semester of 2023, the Al Qur’an Department of Al Siddiq International School held its first-ever Tasmi Qur’an activity. The event took place on Friday, 1 December 2023, at the Al Siddiq campus, involving students from Kindergarten, Primary, and Secondary levels. The students who took part in the Tasmi were those who had received certificates for completing the recitation of at least Juz 30 of the Qur’an during the previous semester. Alhamdulillah, the event ran smoothly, and the students participated enthusiastically, listening attentively to one another’s recitations. This inaugural Tasmi session was also broadcast live via Al Siddiq’s official Instagram account, serving both as a form of religious outreach (syiar) and as a special opportunity for parents to witness their children’s Qur’an recitations in real time. It is hoped that this first Tasmi Qur’an event will inspire students to continue completing their Qur’an recitations and strengthen their memorisation in the future.

Bekasi – November 2023, Every year on 25 November, Indonesia celebrates National Teachers’ Day, and the year 2023 marked the first-ever celebration of this special occasion at Al Siddiq International School. It was a moment of joy and pride for the teachers of Al Siddiq, who reflected on their students’ growth and achievements to date. To commemorate the occasion, the School Committee organised a celebration on Monday, 27 November 2023. The event, held on the school field, began with a flag-raising ceremony in which all the officers were male teachers. This served as a meaningful example for the students, as their teachers demonstrated their dedication and discipline by taking on ceremonial roles on this special day. Following the smooth completion of the ceremony, the event was handed over to the School Committee, who presented student performances from the Kindergarten, Primary, and Secondary levels as tokens of appreciation to the teachers. The programme included English speeches from each unit and was further enlivened by a musical performance from the students, singing songs dedicated to their beloved teachers. As the highlight and closing of the event, the Committee symbolically presented a traditional “nasi tumpeng” dish and special gifts to Ustadz Abdullah Haris, the Director of Education. The celebration then continued in each classroom, where students had the opportunity to express their gratitude and celebrate Teachers’ Day together with their teachers.By ESTY INDRASWARIANI, S.Sos
