National sports day is the day where all sports are appreciated and remembered. Not only that, it’s also the day where we can all appreciate all the athletes that have made our country proud.

The theme on this year’s national sports day is “Together We Make Champions”. On Saturday, 10th September 2022, SMA Amore Prime School celebrated national sports day by introducing fencing to the students and invited a fencing athlete, Anggrahini Friska, to come and show the introduction to fencing.

Students were shown the fencing sword and the fencing uniform to understand better about fencing equipment.

As fencing rarely introduced at school, this was a rare opportunity for us to learn about fencing, especially introduced by the competing athlete herself.

As the theme says “Together We Make Champions”. Hopefully by learning a new type of sport, SMA Amore Prime School can produce champions and winners.

On the first of September, Senior High Amore Prime School goes to Pradita University. On our visit to Pradita, we gathered in the Auditorium. We were explained a lot of the programs including scholarship programs that is offered by Pradita University as well as many of the courses offered at the university.

We played a lot of fun games as well and did a tour of the campus. We also did a potential, passion and personality test to give us a vision on what we are going to do in our next stage of life. As we are closer and closer to graduate from high school, deciding what we want to learn in university is very important for our future.

We are very thankful to Pradita University for giving us such a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Pradita University.

Overall, the event was very lively and it was enjoyable for everyone participating and attending the class meeting.

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 want to thank those who participate in this event especially who donated some of their blessing to our friends at Bhakti Luhur Alma orphanage.
