SCHOOL PAST EVENTS

HEROES DAY

Heroes day that was celebrated on November 10 and 11 in Saint John's primary Gading Serpong gave two main activities. The first is the flag hoisting ceremony that commemorates the struggle of the heroes to get the independent of Indonesia. Primary five was chosen to be the flag hoisting ceremony's officers. Bryan from 5 Cooperative was chosen as the leader of this ceremony. Heroes day is celebrating on November 10 because it was the first battle after Indonesia got the sovereignty as a country and the battle that was happened in Surabaya was called as inferno (hell) battle as many victims passed away.

Primary students celebrated this event on November 11 by conducting a fashion show with hero as the theme where the students make the costume from recycle or used items. Parents and students also involved in a drama with theme team work. Some parents took role as a security in the drama and acted that they stay over night to make sure the environment is safe. We call this as siskamling.

Other competition was marching competition that asked the students to follow some commands in marching. They have to do the command as a team. Through this event, students learn how to respect the heroes that surrender their lives for Indonesia, their country.
