Clinic Day
Promoting Mental Health and Well-being
By Owen and Qeren Promoting Mental Health and Well-being
On Thursday, February 27, 2025, the Year 4 students held Clinic Day as the culmination of their fourth unit, "Who We Are." During this event, each pair of students showcased various activities and creative ideas related to efforts in improving mental health and its connection to the body's systems. Each pair explained and demonstrated step-by-step methods for enhancing mental well-being independently.
In this activity, All students worked in pairs to teach one of their favorite activities to fellow students, parents, and teachers. Clinic Day holds great significance for us, as it serves as a reminder to explore and engage in healthy habits. Some of the activities they introduced included dancing, art, yoga, drawing, and other activities that support overall health.
Each student was grouped based on their favorite topic and paired up to teach participants about the activity and its benefits for both mental and physical health. The Year 4 students aimed to create ways for others to explore and experience enjoyable activities that enhance well-being, mental health, creativity, and physical fitness. Clinic Day also featured a variety of health-promoting activities such as dancing, drawing, meditation, exercise, and more.
Mental health is crucial for our bodies, enabling us to cope with stress and life’s challenges. Without good mental health, individuals may develop negative feelings toward themselves and others. Therefore, the fourth-grade students organized Clinic Day to help their peers reduce stress, improve mental well-being, and foster happiness.
In preparing for Clinic Day, we applied various skills. Communication played a key role in working together to design posters, from the planning stage to presenting them to the audience. Additionally, we demonstrated knowledge by understanding our chosen topics and sharing information in a well-balanced manner throughout the project.

Exciting Field Trip to TMII Jakarta
On Tuesday, 25th February, Year 4 students participated in a field trip to Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, EastJakarta. This experience is an integral part of their current unit of inquiry under the transdisciplinary theme of ‘Who We Are’ and the upcoming unit of inquiry under the transdisciplinary theme of ‘Where We Are in Place and Time.’ Students learn about the diversity of ethnic groups and cultures in Indonesia, as well as the identity of Indonesian society. They explore the historical and social experiences of the nation and examine how individuals, factors, and historical events have influenced societal changes over time.
The first place we visited was the Indonesian Museum, which houses a vast historical collection from various regions of Indonesia, including traditional clothing, masks, traditional weapons, woven batik, musical instruments, as well as various artifacts and historical information about the country.
After exploring the museum, the students walked around to visit several pavilions and eventually arrived at the Kalimantan Pavilion. Here, they toured the area, listened attentively to the tour guide’s explanations, and then enjoyed a performance of the Sumpit dance along with other traditional dances from Kalimantan.
The students were highly enthusiastic and excited, demonstrating courage and curiosity when trying out the sumpit, a traditional hunting tool. Throughout the trip, the students displayed great respect for Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage, which reflects the nation's identity.
