Dear Saint Johners, 

The academic year 2023 - 2024 has reached one semester this December and has given lots of experiences for every school member. Starting the first term with an integrated project and followed by the final test in term two make the learning journey full of colours. ‘Learn for Life’ is a value, an attitude and a skill that the students would need to possess. Saint John's students need to be resilient, adaptable and global in their outlook. They must feel curious and eager to learn as they pursue learning in their whole lifetime. Examination and grades are thus comparatively small milestones in the life journey of a student.

Some events that have been conducted this semester were Heroes' Day, Sumpah Pemuda, teachers' Appreciation Day, and Outreach. Heroes' Day and Sumpah Pemuda events invited the parents to attend and see the students' performances. The students showed drama, marching, singing, reading poems, storytelling, and fashion shows. The fashion show required the students to use recycled items as their costumes. 

Those events could be conducted because of the collaboration between parents, students and teachers.  Saint John's School believes that collaboration between parents, students, and teachers is compulsory to make holistic learning and to build better communication in achieving the vision and mission of this school. Scientia, virtus and vita should be reached together, hand in hand. Students should have knowledge and value in their lives. Let us welcome the year 2024 with a new spirit and set higher goals for a better future. 

Through these messages, Saint John's Primary School would like to say:

Merry Christmas 2023 and Happy New Year 2024

Wishing you a joyous Christmas and a prosperous New Year
