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
Event on a successful and enjoyable day!

记慈济小学华文日活动 撰稿人:陈晓杰老师
9 月 28日慈济小学迎来了一年一度的华文日,在华文老师的精心准备和学生的满心期待下,华文
日的活动从早上八点正式拉开帷幕。
全体小学同学以年级为单位参加了集体舞蹈比赛。华文老师为每个年级选择了适合学生年龄及兴
趣的舞蹈,其中三年级的舞蹈“勇敢小兵兵”比赛现场非常精彩,每个班级都精心练习了比赛的动作,
学生们跟着音乐有模有样地学着士兵的样子表演“吹喇叭”“打锣鼓”“正步走”“用手枪”等动作,
很多学生还边跳边唱,他们开心地舞蹈着,已经忘记了自己是在参加一场比赛。
一年级到四年级的拼音和汉字比赛增加了今年华文日活动的知识性和趣味性,寓教于乐,让学生在
欢乐的游戏气氛中巩固了学过的拼音和汉字知识,了解到了有关华文的更多的课外知识。孩子们以班级
为单位,参加了根据裁判给出的词语画画,用中文描述自己看到的视频场景,根据象形文字写出楷体文
字,用身体摆出汉字形体等有趣的比赛。其中全班学生一起用身体摆出汉字的比赛趣味横生,裁判老师
看到学生们根据汉字不断调整自己位置的专注的样子,都忍不住夸奖孩子们认真、聪明,懂得团队合
作!
华文日的活动是丰富多彩的,其中场面最热烈、学生参与的积极性最高的活动要数三四年级的中国传统
游戏部分。吃过午饭,学生在班主任老师的带领下早早来到比赛场地,在主持人介绍踢毽子、跳绳、用
筷子夹乒乓球等游戏的比赛规则时,学生们已经开始摩拳擦掌,各个跃跃欲试,都想代表自己的班级来
参加游戏。三轮游戏的场面都异常激烈,每轮比赛每个班派出五个代表,轮流行进踢毽子、跳绳和用筷
子夹乒乓球的比赛。场上的队员争分夺秒地为自己的班级挥汗如雨,没有上场的学生大声喊着“加
油!”,好像正在比赛的人是自己,现场气氛紧张而愉悦,连老师们也挥动手臂为自己的学生加油鼓
劲!最后的比赛场面尤其紧张,学生们小心翼翼地用筷子夹起乒乓球慢慢走向终点线,眼睛却紧紧盯着
筷子上的小球,生怕它掉下来,在场的观众都被认真谨慎有集体荣誉感的小队员们感动了!

语表演,我们则是穿插武术、合唱与手语表演,每一项表演都是经过多次排练,精采程度自然不在话下,
获得了满堂采。
接着由中学的大哥哥、大姐姐们引导花莲慈小师生参观我们的校园,吃完了印尼特色点心后,跟着
六年级的学生到班上进行一个小时的课程,不同的学生进到不同的班级,体验数学、科学、英文与人文
课,有别于台湾的中文授课,多数的课程使用英语授课,给花莲慈小学生们带来不小的冲击,课程结束后
纷纷表示要好好学习英文。
下午在社教中心体验纸雕艺术与传统竹乐器的制作,等到太阳微微西下的黄昏时刻,花莲慈小学生
与印尼慈小足球队的学生在双方握手行礼之后,展开一场国际足球友谊赛,足球赛分为女子组与男子组,
场上的学生努力设法将球踢到对方的球门里得分,场外的师长与同学声嘶力竭地为大家加油,所有人专注
地看着比赛,加上体育老师 Mr. Lukman 生动的即时赛事转播,让大家笑声不断。两校交流在足球友谊赛
的欢乐气氛中画下一个美好的句点。
8 月 5 日的欢送会上,大家带着依依不舍的心情道别,相信花莲慈濟小学与印尼慈濟小学的姐妹情 7

PTA By: Pia Padilla
The Parent Teachers Association or PTA is a valuable part of every school.
It is a committee which aims to serve as a bridge between the school and the parents
of each child towards achieving common aspirations by forging open
communication lines.
The first PTA meeting was held last August 26, 2016 at the Tzu Chi Primary
School VIP Room. It was attended by the parent representatives of each class from
Primary 1 to Primary 6. The School Director, Mr Sudino Lim, was also present as
were the Primary Principal and Vice Principal. The
agenda of that first meeting was to elect the
officers for this new academic year.
Each elected parent was given a chance to
present their platform and vision for this school
year. A simple voting process was done afterwards
with both the parents and school administration
casting their votes. In the end, the following
parents were elected as the PTA officers:
Chairman: Mr Emil Atmadjaya
Vice Chairman: Ms Rika Setiawan
Secretaries: Ms Eny Surya and Ms Susy
Treasurers: Ms Nancy and Ms Lenny
There is a saying that it takes a whole village
to raise a child. That much is true in the school set
up as well. It takes an entire community to take
care of each child in the school. It is a shared
commitment, not just of the teachers but of the
parents as well. This school year looks promising
and everyone is looking forward to a good working
relationship. Once again, our congratulations and
gratitude to all the officers who were brave enough
to take on the challenge.

Kegiatan EEP Information Day ini diselenggarakan pada hari Jumat, 26 Agustus
2016, pukul 13.30 WIB bertempat di area kantin SMP. Sekolah juga mengundang 5
vendor yang ikut terlibat dalam EEP Primary, yaitu Manga Drawing, Wushu, Tae Kwondo,
Robotic, dan Cooking. Selain dari vendor, EEP dari sekolah sendiri juga banyak di
kunjungi dan diminati oleh orang tua dan siswa. EEP dari sekolah antara lain Science
Club, Journalism & Broadcasting, IT, Violin, Soccer, Basketball, Modern Dance, Tzu Chi
Sign Language, dan EEP Swimming yang baru pertama sekali dimulai di tahun ajaran
2016-2017 ini. Guru-guru yang terlibat di dalamnya mencoba memberi penjelasan jika
ada orang tua murid yang bertanya.
Pameran EEP ini sangat menarik antusiasme orangtua dan siswa, khususnya orang
tua yang baru pertama kali mengetahui program EEP ini. Auntusiasme mereka terlihat
dari banyaknya pengunjung (orangtua dan siswa) yang datang setelah dismissal.
Pengunjung menanyakan hal-hal seputar EEP, seperti materinya, harga, perlengkapan,
pengajar, dan sebagainya. Jadi, pameran ini diadakan bukan untuk mendaftar atau
melakukan pembayaran EEP, tetapi lebih kepada memperkenalkan dan memberi
informasi kepada orangtua dan siswa tentang EEP. Semoga orangtua terfasilitasi dan
mendukung dengan bijaksana program EEP ini, sehingga para siswa yang mengikuti
program ini mendapatkan hasil yang efektif.
Mengawali EEP yang akan
dimulai pada Term-2 di tahun ajaran
baru 2016-2017 ini, sekolah telah
menyelenggarakan acara EEP
Information Day, yaitu kegiatan
pameran EEP yang bertujuan untuk
memperkenalkan program EEP
(Extended Enrichment Program) di
sekolah. EEP dilaksanakan setelah
semua mata pelajaran usai. Pameran
ini diharapkan dapat memberi
gambaran kepada orang tua murid
untuk memilih program EEP yang
sesuai dengan minat anak masing-
masing

结束第一学期考试周后,三年级学生及班导师在人文室的安排下参加了一项志
工活动-打扫静思堂。由于班导师在平时的 Homeroom time 都有宣导有关保持
整洁的重要性及如何保持整洁的方法,所以学生对于今天的活动迫不及待,并且
早已准备好各种打扫工具,例如旧牙刷、干抹布、小扫把、回收的塑料袋等等,
准备用行动来表示学习的成果。
打扫活动于早上九点开始,当大家抵达静思堂四楼讲经堂时,就已经全副武装戴
上口罩及手套了。但在打扫活动开始之前,人文老师及数位班导师带领学生们一
起跳早操“幸福的脸”为活动暖身。热身完后由人文老师安排各班的打扫区域,
让班导师带领学生到指定区域开始进行打扫工作。
此活动的打扫区域是在静思堂四楼讲经堂里,学生们须清洁大约一千六百多张莲
花椅,虽然这次是学生们第一次来到讲经堂打扫,但在这活动之前班导师已有告
诉大家该如何清理莲花椅的小细节,椅子内外的缝隙都必须用旧牙刷把灰尘扫干
净,而有些同学也准备了小塑料袋准备装垃圾。
打扫期间,同学们发挥互助精神,两个人负责一排约二十张的莲花椅,一个帮忙
掀起莲花椅的座盖,一个帮忙用小扫把将椅子里的灰尘扫干净。通过这样的互
动,让同学们深深体会到有了伙伴的帮助会让事情更顺利,也更加有效率,因此
平时在课堂上或休息时间应该要主动帮忙老师或同学,使班内的气氛更和谐。
活动完毕后,各班班导师把同学带回班上写学习单,主要是希望让同学们能够将
参加志工活动的心得记录下来,也在班上分享他们的收获及喜悦。三年级的同学
们非常喜欢这次的志工活动,因为他们不但学到了如何保持自己居住的环境整洁
外,也时实践了如何共同照顾学校的环境整洁,并且通过保护环境的教育,学习
守护每个人的健康。

How do you feel after cleaning the Jingsi Hall? - Ms Yosephine
Tzu Chi Primary School believes that knowledgable individuals are those who do not only
achieve straight A’s in school, but those who also understand the importance of ‘selfless
contribution’ within our society. Therefore, the school strives to cultivate the seeds of
empathy as well as self-discipline into our students. With this in mind, the school conducted an
activity where our Primary 3 students cleaned the Jing Si Hall on 26 September 2016.
Needless to say, it was a productive day as students learned the essential meaning of daily
activities such as cleaning and being responsible for the mess we make.
Let’s hear their thoughts on this:
Q1: What did you learn from the ‘Cleaning Jing Si
Hall’ event? What was the benefit of the event for you?
I learned how hard it is to be a cleaner. I also learned that we
can ease up the cleaners’ job by maintaining our own cleanliness.
Clevin, P3 Compassion
Q2: In the cleaning process, what are the things we
should pay attention to?
We should pay attention to the details of how to clean the
chairs and other furniture properly.
Regina Lucky Surjadi, P3 Harmony
We should pay attention to the teachers as they are
instructing. We had to see whether the items in the room
were cleaned completely.
Felicia Anthony Lie, P3 Compassion
12
Q3: What was the biggest difference before and
after the cleaning event?
At first, the chairs were dusty and it was hard to clean the
rooms there. After some time, the rooms got cleaner and
cleaner. I felt happy because I was able to help the school
cleaners who work hard everyday!
Giselle Civara Wijaya, P3 Compassion
Q4: Have you ever helped your parents clean up?
How did you learn the proper way to clean up?
Sometimes I help my parents clean up our house. I don’t really
know how to clean properly, but I am willing to learn and
listened carefully during the cleaning event at Jing Si Hall.
Kimiko Nikita Sugiharto, P3 Harmony
Yes, I also clean my own bedroom to keep it neat and tidy. I
learned how to clean by observing my mom doing chores.
Megan Inderadjajanata, P3 Harmony
