Graduation is “a conclusion of one chapter, a beginning of another.”

It is a significant milestone in a student’s life, marking the culmination of their secondary education journey. It is a time of celebration, reflection, and transition as students prepare to embark on the next chapter of their lives.

Beyond the pomp and circumstance, high school graduation holds a deeper meaning. It represents the culmination of years of learning, growth, and personal development. Students reflect on the challenges they have overcome, the friendships they have formed, and the knowledge they have gained. It is a time to acknowledge each individual’s accomplishments and achievements and celebrate their unique paths.

This year’s theme is “Onward And Upward,” emphasizing that graduation is not only an end but also a new beginning. As our Grade 12 graduates leave the familiar halls of their Alma Mater (Amore Prime School), they step into a world of possibilities and opportunities. It is a time of transition as they prepare to pursue higher education, enter the workforce, or follow their passions and dreams. Graduation marks the moment when students spread their wings and embark on a journey of self-discovery and fulfillment.

Its significance extends beyond the individual student. It is a collective celebration of the efforts and sacrifices made by parents, teachers, and the entire school community. Graduation represents the successful collaboration between educators and students, who have worked together to achieve academic excellence and personal growth.

High school graduation is also a time of reflection, gratitude, and hope. It is a celebration of accomplishments, a farewell to the familiar, and a stepping stone toward a brighter future. As graduates cross the stage, they carry with them the memories, lessons, and friendships forged during their high school years, ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

The takjil (iftar meal) distribution activity carried out by Amore Prime School student council
members on March 18, 2023 is part of a tradition that has been carried out for many years during the month of Ramadan.

In this activity, the student council members distributed food and drinks to the community around Amore Prime School who were fasting. From the preparation of tools and materials to the distribution of takjil, it was carried out by the senior high student council of Amore Prime School.

Through the free takjil distribution activity, Amore Prime School students not only showed social awareness to the surrounding community, but also strengthened the relationship between the school and the community.

In this activity, student council members also learn to be more sensitive to the needs and expectations of the surrounding community, and understand that simple social activities can have a big impact on people’s lives.

Hopefully, this activity can encourage the spirit of mutual cooperation and social care among the community, thus creating a more harmonious and supportive environment.

Winter Camp – Mandarin Intensive Class

Mandarin is currently the most widely spoken language in the world, spoken by as many as 1.3 billion people worldwide. Learning Mandarin can be a challenging task for many, especially for those who are not familiar with the language and the culture.

In this Winter Camp activity, students take part in various kinds of mandarin classes intensively and practice them directly and take part in several activities to learn Chinese culture. With activities such as cooking Chinese food, Chinese performance, games and visiting PIK Chinatown, students can immerse themselves in Chinese culture while learning a lot of new vocabulary words.

Nowadays, Mandarin is a vital language for business and trade, as China is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Knowing Mandarin can open up new job opportunities and help students to build valuable connections with people from different cultures. Winter Camp activity provide students with an opportunity to learn Mandarin and Chinese culture in a fun and interactive way.

“SPIRIT OF A TRAILBLAZER; MAKING A WAY SO OTHERS CAN FOLLOW” is the theme of this year’s self awareness program that we held every year for our students.

Being a leader is the dream or aspiration of every human being. It’s the same with the youth of the Indonesian nation, namely the millennial generation. They are future leaders who will lead this nation one day. Every country in this world hopes for its youth to be able to bring progress and positive change to make it better.

Once, the youths played a vital role with the founding Fathers of this nation. It’s a good reminder, especially to the youths of this era, the millennial generation. Suppose tens of years ago; the youth fought for their country physically. In that case, it is different from today’s era, where the youths face challenges of various forms, and if they’re misguided, they will stray in the wrong direction, which certainly harms the nation. The youths of today must be resolute for the sustainability of the nation’s life.

On 24-25 February 2023, Amore Prime School Student Council held a Basic Leadership Training or Latihan Dasar Kepemimpinan. Basic Leadership Training or LDK itself in general is a training provided by the current Student Council to new candidates of Student Council. New candidates of Student Council were given various materials about leadership about how to lead a good organization and also how to work well together in an organization.

In this event, senior high school student council provide many sessions and games to train the candidates leadership skills. We also invited a guest speaker, Abigail Theodora Tanzil, S.Psi, from UBM to share what are the keypoints in being a leader.

Chinese New Year, also known as Spring Festival or Lunar New Year, is a time for families to gather, enjoy delicious food, and celebrate the start of a new lunar cycle.

Amore Prime School also joined in the festivities with a variety of events, including a lion dance performance, lantern making competition, class performances, educational stands and more.

The lion dance is a traditional performance that is believed to bring good luck and prosperity. The colorful and energetic dance is performed by two people, with one person controlling the head of the lion and the other controlling the tail. The lion weaves through the crowd, collecting 红包 (hóngbāo) from students.

In addition to the lion dance, there’s also lantern making competition, which symbolizes hope and joy. There were also performances from each classes showcasing their talent on singing and dancing. In addition to that, students also prepared educational stands about Chinese culture and language.

This Chinese New Year celebration event offer a fun and educational opportunity for our students to learn about and experience Chinese culture.

Character-based education is the principle instilled by Amore Prime school. Amore Prime School as a school that does not only prioritize the intelligence of its students also seeks to balance educational content with character building in the aspects of its teaching.

Therefore, as a manifestation of spreading love and the school’s vision, Amore Prime School’s Student Council took the initiative to raise funds for less fortunate children under the auspices of the orphanage.

On January 14 2023, Amore Prime School’s Student Council fulfilled the aspirations of the school’s vision by raising funds while visiting two orphanages, namely the Bhakti Luhur Orphanage in Jakarta and the Abigail Orphanage in Tangerang.

Amore Prime School’s dedication to the orphanage is not only in the form of fundraising, but also to enliven the atmosphere of the orphanage by holding several games and playing with the orphanage’s children.

Apart from the Student Council, Amore Prime School students also took part in the success of the orphanage.

The existence of this effort has fostered a sense of empathy and developed a spirit of love for others.

Christmas is celebrated to remember the birth of Jesus Christ, which is on December 25th. Christmas is generally marked by exchanging gifts, but Christmas is more than just a day when we exchange gifts. It is a time for joy and giving. The spirit of the season is found in the “togetherness” and the thought we give to others. 

Amore Prime School Senior High School (SHS) also did our own Christmas Celebration. This celebration was filled with fun competitions and amazing performances from each grade. We also held a gift exchange event that included all SHS students. However, it is not about the prizes and gifts that matter, but the warmth and joy in togetherness. What about you? How are you going to celebrate Christmas with your loved ones?

Whatever the ways to celebrate it, the joy of Christmas comes from affection and love that gives warmth to everyone. It can be like a gathering with our family and loved ones, where it becomes an important moment that cannot be missed and to be cherished. May Christmas brings happiness to all of us. Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy Teachers’ Day!

Teachers play one of the most important roles in our lives. They teach us not just in formal education, but they also teach us about compassion and perseverance through their lessons. Sometimes they would be mad at us, but that is when they showed that they cared for us. We might say that teachers are like our second parents in school.

Teachers day is celebrated as a form of respect and appreciation for dear teachers in all over Indonesia. On that day, Amorians celebrated the National Teacher’s Day after the ceremony. We gave cakes, words, and gifts to show our love. However, the love that we gave is just a little compared to theirs. So how do you want to truly show your love to them? The best appreciations we can give is by taking their lessons seriously!

Sumpah Pemuda is a form of the fighting spirit of the young generation in its time. It is not a new thing, but that spirit deserves to be continued by the youth of today. It is appropriate for the next generation to claim to be Indonesian, to love the homeland, and to respect the Indonesian language. The spirit of nationalism and patriotism is a milestone in enlivening the spirit of being an Indonesian citizen.

Why is it important for the younger generation to continue to voice the spirit of Sumpah Pemuda? In fact, Sumpah Pemuda awakens the spirit of love for the nation and the homeland as a unity, so that the nation’s ideals can be achieved, namely the independence of Indonesia as a unit, knowing the meaning of the Sumpah Pemuda itself is the struggle of young people that each of whom has a different identity but still succeeds to unite and jointly fight for the independence of Indonesia.

Friday, 28th of October 2022, former Indonesian Ambassador to Sri Lanka, Mr. I Gusti Ngurah Ardiyasa in the event “Sumpah Pemuda: Bersatu Bangun Bangsa” invited young Indonesians, especially Generation Z, to explore their potential to prepare themselves for future challenges. These challenges appear in various forms, including: 1) Technology Challenges; 2) Globalization Challenges; 3) Industry Challenges; 4) Moral and Religious Challenges. The development of the potential of young people is needed because of the desire to change the nation for the better. In the process of change, one of the important sustainable aspects is mental revolution.

Therefore, let us as the nation’s young generation continue the fighting spirit of the heroes by contributing to the development of our beloved country, Indonesia. Unite to build the nation!
