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

This Monday-Wednesday we will have the G12 Entrepreneurship Bazaar taking place during break and lunch times on the BBC, so please come out to see what our students are selling and help support their Entrepreneurial spirit. As always, please be professional and help ensure students are showing integrity by throwing away their trash and cleaning up their spaces each day.

I would like to congratulate our High School Robotics Teams on their first competition, which took place this past week in Jakarta.  It was a good learning experience for all involved, and we look forward to continued improvement and success in the future.  This week we’ll have several PYP teams, as well as one 7th grade team, going to compete in another robotics competition in Jakarta, leaving on Friday for the competition on Saturday at Ora et Labora BSD.

Our Senior Boys’ Soccer Team and Senior Girls’ Volleyball Team are competing in the AISAC Tournament at Global Jaya, also in Jakarta. They will leave early Thursday morning and compete through Saturday as well. We will also have the Ciputra Group Founder’s Day Celebration in Jakarta this Thursday through Saturday, where a number of our leadership team members will be joining. Hopefully we will be able to divide and conquer on Saturday, with some of us going to cheer on the robotics teams and others of us going to cheer on the volleyball and soccer teams!

This week’s articles and video are not so much focused on education, but more on how we interact with others. The first article is about trying to not take everything so personally, while the second is on not only giving, but more importantly asking for help. The English and Indonesian versions of the videos can be found here. I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead and I look forward to celebrating both Pak Ciputra’s legacy, as well as our students’ successes and learning opportunities together this week.

Have a great week!

Dr. Christopher Allen
