The Portrait of ACG2022-2023 Yearbook

Myles D'Airelle

Dear ACG School Jakarta Community,

Here we are in June 2023, it does only feel like yesterday when we started planning the academic year and the yearbook and graduation Arriving at ACG School Jakarta and getting to know the faculty, operation staff, and, of course, the students and the wider ACG Community has been a pleasure.

We started the academic year with COVID protocols in place and slowly these have been lifted, and as we have seen across most of the world, society has moved to managing with COVID. Jakarta has always been a vibrant and bustling city, but seeing the difference from August 2022 when the shopping malls were still quiet to the end of the year where it is clear to see business is back, companies are adding staff to offices, and there is a new level of confidence in the city We have had the opportunity to meet with Chambers of Commerce and they are positive about the levels of business in the city

You might ask what does this have to do with ACG School Jakarta? For us there is strong positive movement for places at the school, allowing new students to join our amazing community, make new friends, discover our programmes, and join the sports teams, and the after-school activities. Adding to the diversity of our community and supporting intercultural understanding across the years.

And after 2 years, it means that we have started to review the campus and can start planning for the future to enhance the warm, positive, family-feeling environment that also meets the needs of the students and teachers, this can’t be done overnight, but even small changes can have a positive impact I have ended my first year here at ACG School Jakarta with Prizegiving Assembly, and then the Year 13 Graduation, I am proud to see the achievements of all of the students, and I would like to wish the Graduates of 2023 all the best at university as they take their next steps.

Have a wonderful summer vacation, see you all in August 2023.

Myles D'Airelle, Principal

Vice Principal & PYP Coordinator

2022-2023 school year has been a year of new beginnings for ACG School Jakarta, as Indonesia and the rest of the world came out of the pandemic restrictions Many new staff members, including myself, joined the school and received a warm welcome from the school community.

As their parents moved to another country, some students left the school mid-year, and, at the same time, many new students joined us Through all these changes, our school community stayed welcoming, inclusive, mindful of differences, and valuing respect above all

“It is not so very important for a person to learn facts For that he does not really need a college He can learn them from books The value of an education is not the learning of many facts, but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks ” In other words, "Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school ” (Einstein)

I expect ACG School Jakarta students reading this yearbook after many years will remember the peaceful, respectful, family-like social environment on our campus, even if they forget the names, the faces, the subjects we teach I believe the strong foundations they built in our school, will help them lead happy and prosperous lives

To our graduates and to those students who are leaving our school this year:

'May the road rise up to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields ”

And to our students who will be returning in August: See you soon!

Message from the IB DP Coordinator

Kieran Pascoe

Leading our wonderful IBDP program I’m so lucky to get to work with so many dedicated and talented individuals. The care and hard work that our teachers showed preparing our students and supporting them throughout this challenging year was so wonderful to see I’m looking forward to continuing to grow and improve the program in the future with our team I’m also extremely thankful for the guidance, knowledge and leadership of Mr Myles and Ms. Selda, who have helped me so much this year

experiences, but I’ll give it a try!

Finishing the IB Exams

Well, that was certainly an action-packed year! It really seems like longer I was so lucky to join ACG School Jakarta just as everyone was coming back on campus after 2 years of Covid interrupted schooling. Thankfully, ACG students, parents, and staff made me feel welcome immediately, which really helped my transition into the school. We started the year with an exciting trip to Bogor with the IBDP students. On the ‘IB Retreat,’ we took the bus and stayed in a hotel doing various IB-related workshops. After our study time, we played some fun games, did a virtual escape room, swam in the pool and the students competed in groups against each other in Mr K’s Quiz Night! This was the first excursion after we returned to campus and was a great way to bond with the DP students and teachers Honestly, it’s been such a hectic year and it’s hard to think of my favorite Teaching swimming with the beginner Learn to Swim group. I love the energy and laughs in the pool from our Kindy and lower primary students One great thing about teaching swimming is seeing the progress of the students when they become more confident in the water It’s also lovely for me to interact with some of our littlest students after spending all my day with the big ones ;)

Even though I’ve been a DP Coordinator for over 3 years, this was my first examination session (thanks Covid!) It was another learning experience for me and the students, and thankfully it all went smoothly. We are now crossing our fingers for some positive results in July

Coaching the Boys Football and Girls Volleyball teams Coach Faheem and I worked extremely hard with both Football teams and had some great success, especially with the senior team The endless running and cardio drills paid off in the end! Coaching Volleyball was a new experience for me, and I was so happy with the improvement in the team We’ll be bigger and better next year! Go Wolves!

Drama with Year 7 and 8. We had so much fun this year doing Theatre Sports, drama skits and then filmmaking The students’ confidence grew throughout the year, ending with some funny skits performed in front of the whole school and the videos, which were screened as part of our Artscape Creativity Gala.

Graduation It was a lovely evening celebrating the achievements of our Year 13 class, who graduated this year and a positive way to end the year

Artscape Creativity Gala. After seeing the drama performances mid-year, I really wanted to put on a big show for all the ACG School Jakarta community Our Gala team worked overtime to prepare the students and arrangements for the event It was so great to see all the artistic talent around the school We all saw some creative Design Technology projects, incredible artworks, the Year 9 Drama play, the Year 7 and 8 videos, musical performances and dancers! All the hard work paid off and I can’t wait for next year’s show

There were so many other great moments throughout the year, though I’d better finish so I don’t take up too many pages! I feel really privileged to be working in such a positive environment. I cannot walk around the school without seeing smiles, waves, hellos, and possibly some Hi-5s from all our students, from Kindy to Year 13 I’ve worked in many different schools in my career, and these are the friendliest students that I’ve taught! Really I’m thrilled that my son Callum will be joining our Kindy class next year at ACG School Jakarta and I look forward to writing in next year’s Yearbook with many other positive experiences.

Primary Years

Kindergarten

The first day of kindergarten marked an exciting and emotional time for students, parents, and teachers, alike It began with many tears and fears but quickly transitioned into a fun-filled day full of laughter and love that set the tone for the rest of the school year. Unease about new peers became close bonds to last a lifetime. Vulnerability in an unfamiliar environment became confidence in celebrating our uniqueness. Anxieties from learning independently became perseverance to overcome various challenges. Each child brought their own unique talents, experiences, and personalities to share in our blossoming classroom.

Throughout the school year, we worked hard to establish our classroom as a happy, challenging, comfortable, and safe learning environment that allowed each student to achieve their personal best. It was a crucial year for building the foundation of learning. They developed a love of storytelling, expanded their phonemic awareness, and began counting and using simple addition and subtraction. Through inquiry learning, the students were encouraged to start making sense of the world around them.

We laughed, we sang, we explored, we created, we grew! The children are a few inches taller, months wiser, more responsible, and more mature than on that first day. We can hardly wait to see all that is in store for their bright futures!

Year 1

Year 1 was a challenging yet exciting year for our students as they embarked on a remarkable journey of growth and development. Throughout the year, they dedicated ample time to understanding and incorporating the IB Learner Profiles into their learning process, paving the way for a strong foundation.

One of the key aspects of their journey was learning to be open-minded. By delving into the rich tapestry of cultures and backgrounds present in their classmates, they fostered a deeper understanding and appreciation for one another, fostering a harmonious learning environment.

Art became a powerful medium for selfexpression and emotional exploration. From the captivating styles of artists like Piet Mondrian, Jackson Pollock, and George Seurat, the students learned to tap into their creativity and communicate their feelings artistically. They even had the opportunity to translate their twodimensional drawings of the school into awe-inspiring 3D projects, utilizing recyclable materials and showcasing their artistic prowess.

Year 1 was also a time of scientific discovery and critical thinking. Engaging in various experiments, the students honed their skills as thinkers and inquirers, embracing the scientific process and developing a genuine curiosity for the world around them.

Reflectivity played a vital role in their personal growth. The students learned to evaluate their past activities, identifying areas for improvement and striving to become effective communicators both in the classroom and at home. They embraced the value of being principled, exhibiting exemplary behaviour both inside and outside the classroom, and showcasing their caring nature by extending kindness to all members of their community.

As we bid farewell to Year 1, we are filled with pride and admiration for their accomplishments. They have overcome challenges, embraced new experiences, and developed essential skills that will serve as a strong foundation for their future endeavours. We have no doubt that these young learners will continue to thrive as they progress through their educational journey.

Year 2

Year Two has embarked on an incredible learning journey. The students have cultivated the qualities of being risk-takers, open-minded, and reflective in their learning. Moreover, they have developed confidence in their communication skills through their engaging presentations. Weekly student-led sharing sessions have provided an opportunity for Year Two to share their interests and passions while learning the ability to lead group meetings and provide constructive feedback on presentations. Collaborative work on various group projects has further enhanced their skills, and daily mindfulness exercises and positive affirmations at the beginning of each day have fostered resilience in their approach to academic work, sports and friendships.

One of the highlights of this year was the participation in two assembly items, one at the beginning of the year and one during the final assembly. During these performances, the students showcased their talents with the Angklung, and they sang and danced to inspirational songs. These experiences allowed them to build confidence in performing in front of an audience, and they thoroughly enjoyed the entire process.

In terms of academic achievements, year two students have acquired essential math and literacy skills that challenged and inspired them to explore real-world applications. For instance, they took pleasure in constructing the Sierpinski pyramid while learning about shapes, as well as applying their addition and subtraction skills using Indonesian currency. Moreover, they discovered the power of words and visual images and effectively incorporated them into their marketplace posters.

The learning experience was further enriched by guest speakers and field trips. During the unit on healthy choices and well-being, a dentist and a parent shared their expertise on dental structure and oral hygiene. In the unit on the marketplace, the students had the privilege of learning from a guest speaker who operated her own socially responsible marketplace emphasizing the concept of upcycling. This speaker inspired our students to establish their own marketplace where they traded products they had created themselves in class.

Year 2 students had the opportunity to go on three memorable field trips. The first trip was to the Wayang Museum, which not only provided A cultural experience but also offered a practical application of their study of light and sound. The second excursion took them to Jakarta Aquarium as part of their Sharing The Planet unit, where they explored the delicate ocean ecosystem and examined the impact of plastic waste on our planet. Lastly, they visited an upcycling organization focused on social responsibility, which aligned with the sustainable development goals. During this trip, they gained insights into the process of collecting reusable waste and witnessed the transformation into finished products.

As Year Two draws to a close, we are confident that our students are well-prepared for the next stage of their learning journey. We extend our best wishes to everyone for a successful new academic year.

We've unleashed our creativity through art, music, and writing. We've learned about different cultures, history, and the world around us. And most importantly, we've grown as individuals, developing our skills, confidence, and resilience

Year 6

our students employed not only all of the elements of the Primary Years Programme but also demonstrated the skills that they acquired throughout their time in the primary programme. Year 6 collaborated with various members of our school in their pursuit of authentic inquiry, whether that be in communicating with the various experts, mentors, faculty, and members of the community or in organizing community events. Our students also had the opportunity to have complete agency over their learning from topic selection to presentation style with guidance along the way. The UN Sustainable Development Goals were the center of topic selection in our Exhibition. Students used these Goal's to choose their topics that connected to the Unit of Inquiry, Sharing the Planet but also to ensure that their topic had both local and global significance. We all hope everyone enjoyed our students' presentation.

With the pandemic behind us, we celebrate the triumph over calamity and I am thrilled to see the smiling faces that once remained hidden behind masks. The bonds between the Y7 advisees and advisor have grown stronger through our shared experiences. Each photo in these pages represents not only a moment frozen in time but also a step towards rebuilding our sense of togetherness Throughout the year, I witnessed the power of collaboration, students who overcame challenges by working together, unwavering dedication and spirit of camaraderie.

Beyond the collaborative work, this yearbook page also highlights the friendships that have blossomed through ups and downs as they leaned on each other for support, reminding themselves that a friend's presence can provide comfort and harmony in the most challenging times.

It was a delightful moment for me as an advisor to see them grow their social, emotional and academic growth throughout this year I would hope that all my advisees to cherish memories and remind their incredible journey as they have embarked upon together.

As we look back on this year with the Year 8 advisory, it is remarkable to see the growth and transformation that has taken place within each student. This group has truly exemplified the power of collaboration, empathy, and a thirst for knowledge.

The overall growth of the class has been exceptional. Each student has embraced challenges, pushed their boundaries, and embraced a growth mindset It has been a joy to see them supporting and lifting each other up, fostering an inclusive and respectful environment. Personally, being a part of this advisory has been a privilege.

The energy, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn that radiates from this group is infectious. I have witnessed their confidence blossom, their perspectives broaden, and their resilience strengthen.

As we bid farewell to Year 8, I am confident that these remarkable individuals will continue to make a difference in the world, leaving a positive imprint wherever they go They have shown us the true meaning of growth, teamwork, and a commitment to making the world a better place.

I feel proud and nostalgic when I think back on our advisory class from year 8 Each student made amazing improvement over the course of the academic year by voluntarily tackling harder material and broadening their intellectual boundaries It has been very wonderful to see how much they have grown.

However, this year's specialness went beyond academic success. Our advisory class became a close-knit community that will be cherished for years to come because of the lovely feeling of camaraderie that was fostered in the group. The connections made in our classroom went beyond simple acquaintanceship and developed into lifelong friendships. It was touching to see the sincere support and inspiration that students provided for one another, both in successful and unsuccessful moments. Laughter became a constant sound in our classroom, -

and our mutual experiences served as the ties that bound us together Our class's different personalities mingled together in a way that fostered a sense of welcome and belonging No matter how different we were from one another, we cherished and respected one another for who we were as people.

As the academic year comes to an end, I can't help but be thankful for the development we shared and the relationships we fostered. As we go into the next phase of our lives, the skills we learnt in terms of academics and interpersonal interactions will be very helpful. We take with us the sense of cooperation and fortitude that characterized our time together, secure in the knowledge that we have a network of friends who will continue to encourage us.

Reflecting on our advisory year, there are many fond memories. Observing second language students improve their English skills, quiet students becoming leaders, sporty students representing their school in overseas competitions, and all students collaborating with and helping one another as success after success was attained was one of the most rewarding experiences of my teaching career. This group of young people will succeed in everything that they do and more importantly, will remain friends for life. Well done everyone!

Thinking about the school year in our advisory class, I am filled with joy and pride It was an amazing time spent together, when the students were reflecting on their personal and academic progress, but also on adolescence and world issues We were working on solving the serious matters, but we also found time to relax, have fun, celebrating birthdays, playing games, dancing, and exercising – focusing on the development of the body and mind. I will never forget them practicing yoga moves and showing me creative dancing routines. I saw them making friends, growing up, maturing, struggling with -

some problems, but also being excited about their successes There were some goodbyes in the middle of the semester, and the students who left were kept in our memories, being fondly recalled. We were all learning how to say goodbye, seeing the process of change as a positive one. It was a great year thanks to working with such open-minded, friendly, respectful, fun, but also caring and self-reflective group. It was also a pleasure to see my advisory students being fully involved and imaginative during their drama performances or art making. All the best in your future endeavours Year 9!

Year 10 Advisory has been a rewarding journey of growth and achievement. Despite the challenges posed by online learning during the pandemic, our students returned to in-person classes with enthusiasm. Setting goals and working diligently, they embraced the IGCSE curriculum and expanded their knowledge through engaging discussions in advisory class. The year concluded with memorable experiences, including a field trip for kayaking and mangrove planting, as well as inter-advisory sports events. It has been a joy to witness their academic and personal development throughout the year. We are proud of their accomplishments and anticipate even greater success in the future.

I had the privilege of having a remarkable group of students in Advisory class Despite their differences, they shared a common thread that brought them together as a cohesive unit Each possessed their own unique qualities and talents Throughout the year, we embarked on a journey of growth, learning, and laughter. Together, we faced challenges, celebrated victories, and created lasting memories. In those moments when unity was crucial, you came together as a team, supporting one another with unwavering loyalty and compassion.

But our time in the Advisory class was not solely focused on academics. We celebrated birthdays, shared inside jokes, and found solace in the simple pleasure of being together creating an environment that fostered both personal and intellectual growth.

As your teacher, I cannot overstate the impact you had on me. From your perspectives and experiences, I -

learned a wealth of knowledge that extended far beyond the curriculum Your unique insights challenged my own understanding and broadened my horizons, reminding me of the endless possibilities that come with embracing diversity and continually growing as an educator I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your life during this pivotal period of youth.

To my extraordinary students, I want to express my deepest appreciation for the laughter, the growth, and the shared experiences. You have taught me as much as I have taught you, and for that, I will forever be grateful. As we part ways and continue on our individual journeys, I carry with me the invaluable lessons learned from each and every one of you. Let us carry the memories that we formed. I am eternally grateful for having had the privilege of being a part of your lives, and I know that the future holds incredible things for each and every one of you.

In my 11 years of teaching, Y11RQU is by far one of the most interesting classes I’ve ever handled Our unique pack is comprised of 11 athletic and artistic individuals who display a vast array of personalities and disparate goals, yet solidly click at two common traits: perceptiveness and compassion

Whenever faced by team challenges such as level or schoolwide activities, or simply the evermind-boggling ‘what-to-do-onour-20-minute-advisory-meeting’ mystery, our class leaders Eli and Sarah would instinctively unleash their creative minds onto our magic A122 whiteboard Behind them are our 'oh-so-reserved' yet supportive class members Kana, Imaan, Serafin, Reisa and Dan, who would always lend a hand whenever possible.

Who would ever miss the comic stunts of Jeremy and Josh, sprinkling humor onto any serious atmosphere? Finally, Cilla and Ram’s sensitivity to others’ moods and needs would always offer a warm, yet refreshing companionship to those who need it

As I send off my first RQU troop to the uncharted waters of IB DP, I am confident that their selfawareness, humility and openmindedness, with the right amount of fun, will someday bring this lucky eleven to their ultimate destination: self-fulfillment and a clear sense of purpose

Cheers to the senior years! Ahoy!

Year 11 ERA

In this dynamic class, we have introduced and tried to work together, embrace diversity and celebrate each student's successes. We understand that everyone has a unique story, and we take the time to listen and to uplift. We also, foster a culture of respect, empathy and promote a sense of belonging and ensure that every voice is heard and valued.

Through engaging activities, collaborative projects, lively discussions, and shared experiences: chess competitions, games in groups, puppet show video making, tea party, debate, telling history from each home country, and music performances, we have grown and transformed into our well-being to think out of the box and pursue our passions fearlessly.

As we look back on our journey through this class, we can’t help but marvel at the growth and transformation we have experienced.

Thinking back about the wonderful times in our advisory class this school year, we are proud of how each student experienced significant growth in various aspects of their lives The students’ self-confidence and independence grew as they adjusted to the challenges, and navigated through the demanding coursework in the first year of the IB Diploma Programme. On Tuesdays and Thursdays during advisory times, the Y12 students worked diligently on their CAS, and on Monday’s and Friday’s they enjoyed twenty minutes of free time, while our prefects were attending StuCo meetings. When we introduced PhoneFree Wednesday, it was interesting to see how our students had to resist the -

constant temptation to reach for their phone and how they would often grab it without even noticing it. Over time, students gradually adapted to no phones on Wednesday and experienced the positive effects of being more present in the moment. It is beautiful to see that because of the shared experiences, mutual support, and both advisory classes in one classroom the entire year, the Y12 students have formed strong bonds and developed close friendships The highlight of the year for our advisory class was the field trip to the Mangroves, where we went kayaking and had great fun planting mangroves in the mud. :)

Year 13 ADE

Reflecting on our year together, my Year 13 ADE class has been an exceptional group, marking the first tutor group to meet face-to-face post-pandemic Our best moments were filled with engaging conversations and shared laughter, covering study skills, relationships, and life beyond high school Watching them mature into remarkable individuals has been inspiring.

These friendly and diligent students have faced the challenges of the IBDP final year with resilience, resulting in many securing excellent offers for university education Their dedication has been commendable.

Beyond academics, they have nurtured a strong sense of community and friendship that will endure beyond our time at ACG Their diversity has been a strength, as they developed leadership skills within our advisory. Anirudh and Lidia became head students, Chiara led the yearbook team, Maliek and Cello excelled in leading the house teams and Nabil took charge of the school photography team.

I am grateful for the remarkable year we shared, cherishing the friendships we made. As they step into the outside world, I extend my best wishes to them, hoping for a future filled with success and happiness.

ACG School Jakarta has been an interesting and unique school to experience and has given me a lot of new learning opportunities throughout my 5 academic years spent here. The best part about ACG is the people and giving me the opportunity to allow more people into my life, which has been great. I spent my time after school volunteering; assistant coaching primary football and badminton, where I was allowed to inspire and uplift those younger than myself through sports. I will miss the people and will always remember the good memories made. Thank you Jakarta and thank you to the people of ACG.

My 6 years at ACG were filled with warmth and kindness. I 100% believe that the school has the best people out of any other international school and this has allowed me to make awesome relationships and fun memories that I'll always remember. Everyone is so cool!! After school, I would help coach junior girls' volleyball and do various other activities such as organizing house sports events and playing badminton Being a part of such social projects allowed me to become more sociable despite being a FILTHY WEEB and hopefully uplift those around me. I'm going to miss this school very much. Thank you, ACG! Also, subscribe to my youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@zidnig8869 for weekly gaming videos.

I've come to think of ACG School Jakarta as a second home where I can be open and honest with my peers and teachers alike and where I've developed a wide range of interpersonal skills. Whether it's a good or unpleasant memory, my six years of schooling at ACG will always shine like gold in my memories. I have volunteered to take part in creative acts and events to express myself further and to be in the Senior Volleyball team alongside my classmates and underclassmen was such a blessing. I am grateful for the opportunity to spend the rest of my school years at ACG, where I have learned so much about the world and myself. Since I wouldn't have succeeded without the help of my peers, I'd like to express my gratitude to the whole class.

I have moved between 3 different schools and I must say ACG is a very unique experience for me, I love that the school has a very tight community where everyone can get along with each other, and for me, that is how a school should be. Although I have only been at ACG for 2 years, I must say it made my time in Jakarta much more interesting and definitely put aside the worries I had when I first moved here I know I don’t express myself often but I would love to thank everyone especially the year 13s and my teachers for making the IB bearable through my time at ACG. I wish the year 13s good luck in wherever they go and hope for a successful life ahead and a good summer break for all the students for the next academic year! See you when I see you :).

family for twelve years, and this institution feels ve forged unbreakable bonds with students and staff at ACG in which I can never seem to get away from as they make me feel welcome each day I attend. I consider the members of ACG to be my family as they have always provided support to me in times of trouble. ACG is the origin of my most significant memories with the individuals there I have witnessed the school expand from a one-story building to a multi-story structure with expanded facilities The ACG family has shaped me into the person I am today, instilling in me independence, resilience, and strong leadership qualities. I look forward to my future endeavours, but ACG will always hold a special position in my heart and I am excited to witness the graduation of many more talented individuals from this special school.

When I was thirteen years old, my dream was to enroll in the IB Diploma Programme A unique dream for a middle-schooler, but still a realistic one For the next two years, I carefully plotted my path to reaching this shortterm dream and achieved an IBDP scholarship here at ACG School Jakarta. There are no words that could describe my gratification to be a part of a community that is incredibly loving, supportive, and kind; surrounded by intellectual students and the best teachers in the world. ACG School Jakarta served as a stepping stone to the dream that a little girl with an underprivileged background once had, for it is filled with opportunities that would make any child believe that dreams, however big or small, could be achieved, with faith As Walt Disney once said: “If you can dream it, you can do it ” TRUST

Half of my formal schooling was conducted at ACG School Jakarta, six years worth. Throughout my time here I was able to develop long-lasting friendships, explore my interests in social sciences, express my creativity in the arts, and never stopped learning in and out of the classroom. I was able to befriend a plethora of personalities and look up to teachers that guided me through the mental extortion that was the IB The class of 2023 has had the privilege of watching each other grow up throughout the years, and we are leaving the school as more mature (well, some of us) and nuanced individuals than when we entered it. I can't entirely predict how my future is going to look, but I know it'll be filled with music, doing what I love surrounded by those I love, and I'm glad that ACG has served as a foundation. I advise underclassmen to never stop asking questions. To inquire is to allow yourself to grow.

Throughout my years at ACG, I've met an abundance of types of students and people However, there was a form of mutual respect shown in every person at ACG. This was shown in many ways and forms from in the classroom to the sports teams. The tight-knit community allowed us to know every student and no matter what year you came from all students were mutually accepted. The teachers also radiated the same energy which was extremely helpful in my learning. I have created unbreakable bonds through this school and met people who I will stay in contact with for an extremely long time. However, the ACG’s environment is a type of community that I will bring with me throughout my adulthood I am extremely grateful for the school and what it has done for me and wish nothing but the best for the school's future

Being in ACG School Jakarta for the past 8 years has been an enriching and insightful experience. ACG has provided me with skills and qualities that I could utilize in the future. Through my time here, I have also had the opportunity to create friendships and connections that could last for many years to come. While at ACG, I have been lucky to serve as its head boy, prefect, house, and vice-captain of sports, assembly team leader, the eco-warriors committee president, a founder of the school's tutoring initiatives, and a member of its various sports clubs and these experiences and initiatives have shaped me greatly. I would like to thank all those involved in this pivotal journey and those that contributed to my development. As I end my journey in ACG, I feel equipped to tackle the next phase of my life which is university and I will always remember these beautiful memories.

Hey ACG school, I just want to say that studying for 7 years in ACG has been a one of a kind experience for me I've learned a ton of things and also experienced a ton of fun activities and field trips When I first came to ACG in year 7, I was a very introverted person, never wanting to attract attention. But over the years, I've overcome my shyness and consider myself an extrovert Since I'm actively cosplaying and hanging out with my classmates and other students. I'm looking forward to my new year as a college student as I'm going to Singapore to study animation.

As my time at ACG School comes to a close, I am filled with gratitude for the invaluable experiences and knowledge I have gained in the past 5 years. This school has been a pillar in shaping my academic and personal growth. The dedicated teachers and supportive staff including my classmates have fostered an environment where I felt challenged and encouraged to push my limits.

Once Confucius Said: "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop"

Looking ahead, I am excited to apply the skills and values I have acquired from ACG School to my future endeavors. I am confident that the strong foundation laid here will serve as a springboard for success in higher education and beyond. Thank you for the transformative journey and the lifelong connections I have formed. Farewell, ACG School, and best wishes for the continued success of future students.

At ACG School Jakarta, the student council or leadership skills. Composed of enthusiastic and dedicated students from various grade levels, the council serves as a bridge between students, faculty, and administration, ensuring that student perspectives are heard and valued in the decision-making processes By organizing these events, the council strengthens the bonds between students and creates memories that will be cherished long after graduation. In addition to building school spirit, the student council is committed to addressing the needs and concerns of our student body Regular meetings are held where students can voice their ideas, suggestions, and grievances These meetings serve as a platform for constructive dialogue between students and administration, helping to bridge the communication gap and ensuring that every student's voice is heard The council then actively works to implement student-driven initiatives and advocate for changes that will enhance the overall student experience Furthermore, the student council meticulously planned and executed a magical High School Prom. The venue was transformed into a captivating setting, adorned with beautiful decorations and enchanting lights. Students arrived in their finest attire, radiating elegance and excitement A talented DJ or live band set the mood with a carefully curated playlist, and students danced the night away on a dazzling dance floor The event was a memorable culmination of their high school journey, filled with laughter, joy, and cherished memories.

Without a doubt, it has been one of the most enjoyable student groups this year and has provided an opportunity for all involved to meaningfully contribute to the betterment of the school
