Message from the Principal

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Students,

What a packed month this has been. The students have been on field trips to so many exciting places and been raising awareness of Mental Health Issues.

The Student Council ran a week on Mental Health Awareness as it is very important across the while school and for the community to understand how children develop and the issues they are facing in today’s world. There was a focus on strategies to develop well-being and self-esteem. This is an area ACG School Jakarta will continue to on over the next few months.

It was great to see our parents coming in for the PYP Parent as Learner sessions, and for the Year 6 transition meeting. More information about other year transitions will be coming out shortly.

Want to know more about Aquariums and Taman Mini look no further than the exciting pages for Year 2 and 4.

Even I got involved in teaching this month. I became the Boss of a sneaker manufacturing plant and the Year 11 maths students had to help me plan our strategy for making a profit. They came up with some wonderful ideas and a creative solution.

And then of course, we had Literacy Week. A big thank you to Ms. Ursula for supporting this endeavour along with the Literacy Committee. Thank you to all the parent readers, it was great to have you read in your native languages. I look forward to building on this with mother tongue clubs in the new academic year, if you are interested in supporting this idea, please contact Ms. Mia.

Read more about Literacy Week on Page 17 and 18.

As we come to the end of term 3, we will celebrate Pi. It is such a long number it deserves a day of its own.

Many thanks and have a wonderful holiday.

Warm regards

Myles D’Airelle Principal
