Sekolah Amore Prime School pada tanggal 21 Mei 2022 merayakan hari besar keagamaan Buddha yang dikenal dengan Hari Raya Waisak. Hari Raya Waisak merupakan hari suci Agama Buddha yang dijadikan sebagai hari libur satu satunya dalam kalender di Indonesia maupun dunia. Bagi umat Buddha Hari Waisak itu untuk memperingati tiga peristiwa penting dalam sejarah kehidupan Buddha Gotama, yaitu:
 Lahirnya Bodhisatta Sidharta di Taman Lumbini pada tahun 623 SM.
 Pertapa Gotama mencapai penerangan sempurna di Buddha Gaya pada tahun 588 SM.
 Buddha Gotama mencapai Maha Parinibbana di Kusinara pada tahun 543 SM.

Dengan adanya tiga peristiwa penting dalam dalam sejarah yang terjadi pada waktu yang sama yaitu saat Purnama di bulan Waisak, Sekolah Amore Prime School mengadakan kembali kegiatan Perayaan Peringatan Hari Raya Trisuci Waisak yang diikuti siswa TK, SD, SMP & SMA Amore Prime School. Dengan adanya Peringatan Hari Raya Tri suci Waisak dapat dapat membawa kebaikan bagi sekolah terkait meningkatnya satu rasa toleransi antar umat beragama.

Perayaan terlaksana dengan baik dan lancar, dengan di pandu oleh MC Jason Sebastian dari SMA kelas 11 dan Jesley dari SMP kelas 9. Di tengah acara berlangsung, siswa dan guru juga mendengarkan pesan Waisak yang di bawakan oleh seorang Bhikkhu Cattaseno dengan mengusung tema “Moderasi Beragama Membangun Kedamaian”

Moderasi agama bertujuan untuk menemukan persamaan dalam perbedaan dan bukan mempertajam perbedaan dengan menunjukkan sikap eksklusif. Moderasi beragama ini, diharapkan dapat menjunjung nilai kemanusiaan dengan menghadirkan keseimbangan dalam pemahaman agama di tengah masyarakat.

Kegiatan Perayaan Waisak tersebut menjadi panduan utama dalam mengembangkan peserta didik dalam lembaga untuk memadukan antara ilmu yang di pelajari dengan kejadian yang ada. Dari kegiatan tersebut untuk meningkatkan ketakwaan, wawasan, pola pikir peserta didik serta toleransi. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan akademik dan non akademik menjadi “dua sayap yang selalu berjalan bersama”.

We start by gathering the donation from teachers, students, foundation, and other donors. Some of the donations are used to buy groceries, for example rice, cooking oil, milk and many more. We gather first at school then we went to the orphanage together with some of the teachers and also the foundation. As we arrive at the orphanage, we are welcomed by the nun there and then we help drop off the groceries, then we continue going inside and meeting some new friends.

We had a lot of fun there, we sang together, dance together. We made new friends there and we learn a lot of things there. A lot of our friends there have disabilities so we learn a lot from them and also from the nun there. We learn a lot about how we need to be more grateful for what we have especially our health, physically and mentally. We want to remind us all to keep doing good things to not only people who really need help but to everyone. We want to thank those who participate in this event especially who donated some of their blessing to our friends at Bhakti Luhur Alma orphanage.

With the jam-packed schedules of today’s families, why would either a student or a teacher to add one more major activity? Clearly, any school project assigned to a student should meet a stringent test for usefulness. Surprising to some, a science week project is one of the best learning experiences a student can undertake. And, if it is taken seriously, it could be an excellent way to earn significant prizes, qualify for scholarships, and distinguish a college application.

The science week event was run 3 days straight to showcase students’ scientific skill and thoughts.
This event was wrapped in 3 activities that consist of science competition, product showcase and table games. In science competition, students were implicitly trained to solve applicable issue that might appear in daily activities.

Students who have made their projects presented their creation in live streaming to persuade those who want to take contribution on inventing a breakthrough that may help our earth recovered.

Scientific table games are the collaboration of Student’s Council of Amore Prime Senior – Junior High School and science division team’s program. Amorians and visitors of Amore Prime School were having fun trying the table games that allow them studying scientific phenomena while playing.

In this era, our school really concern about Mandarin learning to make sure our students are ready to do the best in their future. Amore Prime School Mandarin Division held a webinar “Mandarin: New Trend Of Language” on 17th November 2021. Our webinar today is to discuss about the importance of learning Mandarin in Senior High School and coaching clinic in Junior High School.

Hari Kathina dikenal sebagai bulan persembahan kepada anggota Saṅgha yang telah menjalankan masa Vassa selama 3 bulan. Selama masa Vassa di musim hujan, para bhikkhu harus berdiam di suatu tempat dan tidak boleh bepergian sembarangan. Tugas utamanya adalah belajar, bermeditasi, dan pelayanan kepada Umatnya.

Ketika musim hujan selesai, berakhir pula masa Vassa. Umat-umat berdatangan memberikan persembahan terbaik berupa jubah, makanan, obat-obatan dan dan sarana tempat tinggal.

Berdana kepada Saṅgha adalah suatu aksi kebaikan bagaikan menabur benih di ladang yang subur. Dimana dāna tersebut digunakan untuk membantu menyampaikan kabar-kabar kebaikan kepada semua orang.

Sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā
Semoga semua mahkluk hidup berbahagia.

Bahasa asing memang sangat penting untuk anak-anak kuasai agar mampu bersaing dan berperan dalam kehidupan global. Namun, Bahasa Indonesia jauh lebih penting untuk diutamakan karena merupakan jati diri dan citra bangsa yang selama ini telah mampu membangun keindonesiaan rakyat dan juga telah mampu mempersatukan berbagai suku bangsa dengan beragam budaya, bahasa, dan adat-istiadatnya ke dalam satu kesatuan bangsa Indonesia.

Webinar ini diawali dengan sejarah proses dijadikannya Bahasa Melayu menjadi bahasa persatuan. Pada bagian berikutnya membahas penggunaan dan kegunaan Bahasa Indonesia dalam kegiatan akademik, pekerjaan, kehidupan sehari-hari, konteks formal dan informal, dll. Dibahas juga etika berbahasa dalam Media Sosial yang seringkali menjadi batu sandungan dalam pergaulan di Media sosial.

Semoga webinar ini membuat siswa-siswi SMP dan SMA Amore Prime School semakin bangga dengan kebangsaannya, piawai menempatkan kapan berbahasa Indonesia dan kapan berbahasa asing dan tidak melupakan sejarah.
