Dear parents, students, teachers and alumni of Sekolah Ciputra,

Thank you to everyone that came to help out with the PSG’s Sembako Murah on Saturday. I always love seeing the smiles on the people’s faces as they collect their food and choose from the other donations. Whoever donated the Snoopy Snow Cone Machine made my day, as I was taken back to my childhood over 40 years ago when I saw it. Unfortunately, no one else knew what it was, so no one bought it!!!

This week is another busy one for us, with events taking place both inside and outside of the school. PYP students will take the PAIS and PAT assessments at the beginning of this week. Tuesday evening our Senior Girls’ Basketball Team will be playing against SMAN 9 at the DBL Arena, starting at 18:30. Please come along and help cheer them on to victory! Both the PYP and High School divisions will host parent information sessions on Wednesday morning, with the PYP session taking place in the Borobudur Room and the High School session taking place in the High School LRC.  

Thursday-Sunday we will have a booth at the Jawa Pos Edu Fun Fair at Pakuwon Mall. On Sunday afternoon at 13:00 our Junior Boys’ Basketball Team will play SMP IPH East, then at 14:30 our Senior Boys’ Basketball Team will play SMAN 1 Gedangan at DBL Arena. Let’s all go and support the teams in back to back games!

This weeks’ article is on the teaching strategies of retrieval practice and spacing, using cognitive science to try to help students better retain and recall information. The article is here and the video summary is here.

Have a great week!
