The 12th Indonesia Invention Day

Written by Mr. David

Our Grade 11 twins Daffa and Daffi, along with their team, participated in the 12th Indonesia Inventors Day, held from 11–14 September 2025 at SMESCO Jakarta. Daffa and Daffi presented their team’s invention project and were awarded a Gold Medal.

Their project, ‘Blooby’ is an AI-driven chat platform designed to support mothers through their postpartum emotional journey by offering AI consultation, depression screening, daily journaling, and educational resources, all approved by psychologists.

Congratulations to Daffa and Daffi on this outstanding achievement! We are proud of your hard work, creativity, and dedication.

International Chemistry Competition (ICQ) 2025

Written by Mr. Billy

Sometimes the best things happen when you least expect them, our students joined ICQ with the mindset of “let’s just give it a try” rather than aiming for top spots. But surprise, surprise, the results turned out way better than expected. Not only did they gain experience, but some even walked away with shiny awards that made all the effort worth it. 

A huge congratulations to all our awardees! Your hard work, courage, and willingness to step outside your comfort zone truly paid off. You have not only made the school proud but also inspired your friends to take on new challenges with confidence.

Written by Mr. Freddy

We are proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of our Grade 10 band, Equinox, which won 1st Place in the JNY Cup 2025 – Battle of the Bands. Competing against talented groups from Mentari Intercultural School, Raffles Christian School, Pahoa, Bunda Mulia, Saint John’s Catholic School, SHB School, Bakti Mulya, and JNY School, our students stood out with their musicality, creativity, and teamwork.

The band’s members—Qiara (main vocalist), Nathan (rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist), Ricky (lead guitarist), Alanna (drummer), Chloe (keyboardist), and Joy (bassist)—delivered a breathtaking performance with a medley of Evanescence’s Bring Me to Life and Ozzy Osbourne’s Bark at the Moon. Their unique arrangement showcased not only technical skill but also the band’s ability to reinterpret and combine songs into a powerful and original performance. Their passion and stage presence captivated both the judges and the audience, ultimately earning them the top spot. As winners, they were also honored to perform again during the JNY Cup Closing Ceremony, a well-deserved spotlight moment that marked their victory. This achievement reflects the hard work, dedication, and creativity of our students.

Literacy Day Recap: Book Bistro Success!

On 11 September 2025, we came together to celebrate Literacy Day with a special Book Bistro—and what a feast of stories it was! 🎉

Students browsed through a wide variety of books displayed “buffet-style,” sampling different genres and discovering new favorites. 

From exciting adventures and timeless classics to nonfiction treasures—along with resources in multiple languages such as Chinese, Korean, and Bahasa Indonesia—everyone had the chance to ‘taste’ something new.

The atmosphere was filled with curiosity and joy, showing just how powerful reading can be in connecting us all. Thank you to everyone who joined in and made the event a success!

See you at the Book Bistro next year, with even more opportunities to explore and enjoy reading together!
