laughter and joy! We had a phenomenal start
to the school year. These first days of school
were filled with excitement and new
experiences for students, along with the
greeting of new and old friends. The students
(and staff) made a great adjustment back to
the familiar routine of the school day. The remember the moments along the way and

On Monday 19th August 2019, MPS students,

teachers and parents celebrated Indonesian
Independence day with great enthusiasm
buzzed heavily in the air. Flag rising ceremony
was held in the morning as the beginning of
the day. Followed by several enjoyable and
fun celebratory games to compete, such as
Sack Race, Bakiak Race (walking together on
long wooden sandals), Cracker eating race ,
Carrying marble on a spoon race , Flags race
and eating biscuits (for Kindi ), coloring, and
passing balloon race. These games brought
the joy and merrily laughter during the
competition.

The excitement didn’t stop there because lots

of delicious, healthy and yummy food, cakes
and drinks from parents were waiting to be
shared. Then the event was closed after the
announcement of the house winner. Every

TEACHER’S INDUCTION

The new academic year has already started.

Along with it, It’s the right time for MPS to set
the goals, plans and events for a year.

Teachers and staff meeting are conducted,

following by the annual monthly teachers
meeting as a media for the teachers to
upgrading their Montessori knowledge. This
is later will be applied, not only learning the
theory but also how to imply them in
classroom activities.
As we know that MPS use a creative teaching
style as well as the new method of learning
such as inquiry-based learning. Teachers
meeting conduct as a media for sharing the
thoughts toward plans, events and other
school programmes.

BINA IMAN

As a human being, remembering our creator

and worshipping Him in our life is a must.
Regarding this matter, MPS leads the
students to understand this matter through
the religion programmes. We have Bina Iman
for Christian and Keputrian for moslem.
Students learn their religion more deeply
with this programmes. They will grow with a
good understanding of their religion and be
able to actualize it in their daily own life.
