Dear Parents,
It is a joy to write again in this edition of Newsletter. We are happy to see the increasing number
of Primary students in the Academic Year 2016 – 2017. Many exciting events have taken place
during this First Term and it brings me great pleasure to share them with you.
We started off this Academic Year with bigger dreams and of course a bigger team. To care for
1140 Primary students, we have 106 teachers in the Primary Department in place and all of them
participated in our teachers training before we started this new Academic Year. Once we started,
we made sure parents were involved because we believe that parental involvement is crucial in the
holistic improvement of the children.
In the first term, we were also happy to host our sister school from Tzu Chi Primary School Hualien,
Taiwan. Our P6 graduates visited them couple years back and now it is time for them to visit us. I
am very happy to see our P6 students hosting them wholeheartedly, taking care of the Taiwanese
visitors not only in school but also taking them to visit tourist destinations in Jakarta as well as
visiting some slum areas in Jakarta as a form of charity mission.
Primary One students have always been the highlight of new Academic Year. Their first days of
school as Primary students bring joy and excitement not only to themselves but also to teachers
and parents. Some of them were still anxious and nervous but it is clear that before this 1st term
even ends, all of them look so settled in their new level.
It is also a delight for me to announce that we have launched a scholarship program for our
Primary 6 students going to Secondary School. We aim to provide the best continuous education
to our students as well as giving opportunities for our best students to achieve more. Many students
in our P6 participated in this program enthusiastically and I hope to see the great results very
soon.
We wrapped up this term with an exciting event, “Language Week”. We saw faces beaming with
excitement as children participated in games, storytelling, Spelling Bee and Speech Competitions
as well as coming to school in costumes. We are also delighted and happy to see how parents
helped to make costumes for their children (especially those handmade costumes using recyclable
materials). This is certainly providing a great example for our children on how they can reduce
consumerism, reuse materials and in the end protecting the environment.
Thanks for a great start of the term. Let’s welcome another terms full of excitement!
Warm greetings,
Caroline Widjanarko

Starting off this Academic Year … -Ms Erna-
Welcome back to school. After a long holiday, we started our academic year 2016-2017
on Wednesday, 27 July 2016. Many preparations were made for this academic year.
First, we had our annual teachers training from 18 to 22 July 2016. We welcomed our
new teachers and introduced them to our Tzu Chi family. Teachers were also able to get involved
in humanistics activities such as trip to the eldery home and visiting the Tzu Chi recycling station.
We also had our class orientation on Monday, 25 July 2016 where parents were able to
meet with the teachers and get some information on what the students need to prepare for this
school year.
We started our first day of school on Tuesday, 26 July 2016. Most of our students felt
excited to come back to school and meet their friends. P1 students, who are new to our primary
school, had a tour around the school to help familiarize themselves with the school’s facilites.
Curriculum orientation for each level was conducted on second week of August 2016,
where parents were briefed about what their children will learn during this school year. Ms
Meilya, the counselor also had a chance to meet with the P1 parents and share information on
how to support our P1 students in dealing with the new school environment, which is quite
different from the kindergarten.

Setiap tanggal 17 Agustus seluruh masyarakat Indonesia
memperingati Hari Kemerdekaan Indonesia. Di tahun 2016 ini,
Indonesia telah merayakan kemerdekaannya yang ke-71 tahun. Hari
Kemerdekaan merupakan tonggak sejarah perjuangan bangsa yang
harus dipertahankan dan dijunjung tinggi. Maka, sudah sepatutnyalah
kita sebagai bangsa Indonesia mengenang jasa-jasa para pahlawan
bangsa yang telah mengorbankan jiwa raga demi memperjuangkan
kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia.
Berbagai kegiatan dilakukan masyarakat Indonesia untuk
memperingati Hari Kemerdekaan, mulai dari mengadakan upacara
bendera hingga mengadakan berbagai macam perlombaan. SD Tzu Chi
sebagai lembaga pendidikan formal juga turut serta memperingati
Hari Kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia yang ke-71 tahun. Tidak hanya
mengadakan upacara bendera pada tanggal 17 Agustus 2016, SD Tzu
Chi juga telah menyelenggarakan kegiatan perlombaan pada hari
Jumat, 19 Agustus 2016. Perlombaan tersebut diantaranya adalah
lomba makan kerupuk, tarik tambang, estafet dan memasukan pensil
ke dalam botol.
Seluruh siswa - siswi SD Tzu Chi turut serta dalam perlombaan,
wali kelas telah memilih dan mendaftarkan nama peserta jauh hari
sebelum perlombaan dimulai. Mereka semua semangat dan sangat
antusias dalam mengikuti perlombaan. Perlombaan ini diharapkan
dapat memupuk rasa saling bekerja sama dan gotong royong dalam
kelompok dalam rangka meraih kemenangan. Hal ini sejalan dengan
semangat kemerdekaan dan perjuangan para pahlawan dalam meraih
kemerdekaan, yaitu adanya jiwa gotong royong dan kerja sama yang
baik untuk memperoleh kemenangan.
Para pemenang lomba mendapatkan berbagai macam hadiah
sebagai tanda hasil perjuangan mereka memenangkan lomba. Para
siswa - siswi SD Tzu Chi juga telah menerapkan sikap sportif dan
lapang dada menerima kekalahan. “Mari kita bersyukur dan terus
memupuk rasa cinta terhadap tanah air kita Indonesia!”

On Tuesday, 27 September 2016, Tzu Chi Primary
School had its ‘English Day’ portion of the Language Week
Event. As soon as students arrived at school, the fun
began, as students came to school dressed as their
favourite characters in literature. All students were
excited to show off the costume they made and see what
their friends came dressed as. Everyone from Harry
Potter, to Peter Pan, and even Cinderella were in
attendance. Throughout the day students were involved in
various activities developed by the English Department.
To begin, students in upper primary were matched
with the younger students and had a very exciting and
fulfilling story time, led by the older students. Students
also created a poster of memories, in which every student
brought in a small memento to share with the class. After
showing the item to the class and writing the memory
attached to it, it was secured to the classes’ memory
poster, and displayed for all to see.
Our lower primary students wrote letters to their
future selves, explaining their hopes and goals for the
future, as well as how they feel about their life now. This
will be given back to students on their last day at Tzu Chi
Primary School for them to see how much they’ve changed
in just a few short years.
To close out the day, our students were entertained
by a clown. His comical routine had classes from Primary 1
to Primary 6 laughing. After that we had our main event
for the day, the Spelling Bee. Students had their
preliminary round in the classroom, and were taken to the
Jing Si Hall for the final showdown. Congratulations to all
our medalists and all those involved in the English Day
