Dear all,

Welcome back to the last lap of the academic year!

In the last term, we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the

founding of NationalHigh Jakarta School and formally

introduced the new school anthem to the community.

Moving forward, we will commit to realising our collective

PIAGET vision of Creating a better world through education

vis our mission of Nurturing our young into good sons and

daughters, lifelong learners and active citizens, grounded in

values.

To nurture our young charges, we will need a better interface

with our stakeholders such as parents and work seamlessly to

imbibe in them the right values, attitude and habits. As we

transit from the pandemic to the post-pandemic world, we

need to ensure our children are well-prepared and enabled to

deal with the changes and challenges.

In Term 4, we will implement full opening of the school. The

degree of success for the opening is dependent on the

discipline of the children, parents and staff. Of which, the

discipline to be socially responsible in practising a high

standard of safety and hygiene is important. Parents need to

cooperate by following the school protocol not to get down

from their vehicles when picking up or dropping off their

children. The children need to tune back into learning in the

physical classroom. The staff needs to adjust their teaching

and learning practices to meet the learning needs of the

children in their classes.

As the skies open for air travel, everyone inevitably itches to

taste flying again and to savour the joy of traveling to a

distant land. However, as we plan for the coming Lebaran and

long year-end vacation, let us observe a high standard of

safety and hygiene to keep ourselves safe for our families. It is

tempting to discard the mask but it is so far the most

effective protection against any form of infections. So, mask

up and enjoy responsibly!

English Week 2022: Primary Division

English Week 2022 kicked off at NationalHigh

Jakarta School on the 14th-18th March. The

celebration included inspiring speeches by

several published authors who used to call NH

Primary their second home. A soon-to-be-

published writer, Kaniya Alensky Nathalie of

Y6E, also gave some words of encouragement.

NH has continued to nurture education partners

and will reactivate the overseas immersion once

conditions allow it. As of now, we can only do so

virtually. The forging of friendships and networks

also allows us to have better cultural empathy

and understanding. For students involved in the

virtual immersions with West Spring Primary

School, Rosyth School and Tanjong Katong

Secondary School, we hope you will be able to

capitalise on the opportunity and be good

ambassadors for the school and Indonesia.

Term 4 is also the notorious term for

assessment. The Cambridge examinations will

be done onsite. The same applies to our internal

examinations. These assessments should be

deemed as an assessment for understanding

and hence wherever possible, students should

clarify their doubts and lack of understanding. I

beseech students to clarify their doubts in class

and consistently practice the application of

knowledge to ensure a better understanding of

the subject matter.

We hope with full opening, all students will

return and have the opportunity to socialise as

well as rebuild friendships with classmates and

peers. It has been two years of online learning

and we hope this year ends well!

Take care and have an enjoyable Term 4.

Mr Ang Hwee KhoonPrincipal

one-sentence storybook during the Opening

Ceremony. This book comprises stories written

The opening ceremony on the 15th of March

was graced by Ms Kerry Jade, this year's Miss

Face of Humanity USA and founder of Earth

Angel which focuses on the victims of child and

human trafficking, who talked about the

importance of the English language in fostering

intercultural communication and peace. The

Virtual Library of Student Projects was also

repository of the students’ best work.

The week-long celebration culminated with

another international speaker, Dr Sharmila

Parmanand, who finished her doctorate at the

University of Cambridge, UK and teaches

Gender and Human Rights at the London

School of Economics and Political Science. She

is also a lecturer at the University of Vermont

Department of Theatre and the Ateneo de

Manila University Department of English and

Literature. In her speech, she stressed the

importance of being responsible with the reach

afforded by access to technology and the

internet as a platform for advocacy and sharing

messages. She also highlighted the role of

language and technology in helping students

become agents of change.

Care4Care Week

Over two years have passed without Friendship

Week, a pre-pandemic trademark event of the

Student Council where students and teachers

participate in the joyous activity of gift-giving.

However, to revive this spirit of friendship and

appreciation, the Student Council finally

organised Care4Care Week, the pre-orders were

held between 12-19 March, 2022.

During this week, students and teachers

purchased a wide array of alluring items as gifts

for their friends and peers. This included a pair

of savoury chocolate chip cookies, a delicately

soft brownie, a customised friendship bracelet,

and the classic stuffed teddy bear. This was also

the first time cake decorating kits and stunning

roses were up for sale. In an exciting twist to the

event, the Student Council also featured a giant

teddy bear giveaway, after all, who wouldn’t

want a metre tall teddy bear for free?

Students warmly greeted the receptionists

between 09.30 and 15.30 on 28-29 March 2022,

excitedly waiting for any gifts. Meanwhile,

delivery commenced between 28 March and 1

April.

Overall, the event has been fairly successful, with

numerous orders and a great execution of

logistics. All proceeds will be going towards

Yayasan Cinta Harapan, an organisation

dedicated to providing education for children

with special needs.

Student Council members in campus to package orders, 26 March 2022

As the pre-orders began, excited students and

teachers took no time to flood the forms with

orders for their friends and family. This spirit of

appreciation was also shown by the Student

Council members themselves as many sent gifts

to each other. Some Student Council members

even spent a weekend to package and organise

the orders.

The last batch of orders waiting to be picked up, 29 March 2022.

Mission accomplished: delivered to doorstep.

After all, “Giving is not just about making adonation. It is about making a difference.”-Kathy Calvin

Thank you for your continued support of

Care4Care Week, and we’ll see you soon!
