"Everywhere—knowledge is everywhere!"

This year, the event was themed “Knowledge is Everywhere”, reinforcing the idea that learning is not limited to classrooms but can be found anywhere and shared with anyone.

A Day of Discovery, Engagement, and Growth From the moment families stepped in, curiosity and excitement filled the air. Parents actively engaged with their children’s projects, discovering how their young learners had transformed knowledge into real-world applications. One of the most standout moments of the event was watching students bravely take the stage—after weeks of preparation—to present their projects. Despite initial nerves, their confidence and public speaking skills had improved tremendously. And the fun fact of the day? The event’s MC was none other than Charles, a Primary student, who confidently led the program like a pro! 👏 Exploring Knowledge Through Interactive Booths The event featured a variety of interactive booths where Primary students showcased their projects, allowing younger students and parents to explore different fields of knowledge: 🔵 Turtle Habitat, Eco-Brick & Plastic Breakdown Challenge – Raising awareness about marine conservation and sustainability 🌊 Coral Reef Map – Exploring underwater ecosystems🎨 Comic, Light Paper Art & Poster Booth – A creative blend of storytelling and visual art 📊 Data Graph & Perimeter Puzzle – Making math fun and interactive 💻 VR, AR & Games – Bringing technology to life through immersive digital experiences Meanwhile, the Preschool students stole the show with their hands-on recycling projects, proving that even the youngest learners can make an impact: ♻️ Tissue Decoupage Art – Transforming simple materials into beautiful crafts🐠 DIY Fish Tank – Upcycling PET gallons into creative mini aquariums🍕 Pizza-Making with Parents – A fun-filled culinary activity strengthening family bonds A True Community Effort This year’s Output Day Event was more than just an exhibition—it was a celebration of learning, collaboration, and sustainability.

Background One day, Miss Ima found an egg laying on the carpet inside the classroom, and she moved the egg to the top of the cupboard. In the afternoon, Micol found the egg and asked “Where did you get the egg miss?” and Miss Ima told Micol where she found them. A few days after that, Miss Ima found another egg on the carpet and moved it to the cupboard. Not long after that, Micol found a couple of eggs inside the cupboard and she came up with an idea “Miss, why don’t we make an incubator for these eggs?”. Miss Ima agreed to the idea and shared the idea with the others. The discussion started with a question “Who likes animals?” and all students raised their hands up. During the discussion, they also try to find out how to make an egg incubator and how to take care of an egg until it hatched. We were using the internet as our source of information. The discussion happened for another couple of days, we also asked students to discuss this project with their parents. After we have gathered all the information, try to make the incubator and calendar in the class. We use the incubator to lay the eggs and warm them until they hatch. Inside we have rice husks, some cloth, water inside a bowl to keep the humidity balanced, and a fluorescent lamp (20 watts). Other than the incubator, students also made a calendar as a reminder of the days, because based on the information they found, it took 21 days for the egg to hatch. After the incubator is done, all students are asked to take care of and be responsible for the eggs. Based on the information they got, they are supposed to rotate the eggs 90 degrees 3 times a day, in order to give an even warmth on all surfaces, so the embryos can grow healthily. Based on the egg needs, students came up with a duty schedule to share the responsibility together. This project was their second project. The first project was not successful, because the egg didn’t get enough warmth, they were using a 5-watt lamp. Another thing that played a part in the failure was they moved the egg around during checking time and moved it to the darker side inside the box.

On Friday, 24 October 2025, the school ground of Rumah Kecil and Taruwara filled with laughter, color, and community spirit as we celebrated two special milestones: Rumah Kecil’s 11th anniversary and Taruwara’s 5th anniversary. With the theme “Growing in Harmony, Thriving in Connection,” the event beautifully reflected how our families, children, and team grow stronger together each year. A Market Filled With Creativity, Collaboration, and Heart This year’s anniversary celebration took the form of a vibrant bazaar-style event that brought together students, teachers, and families. The enthusiasm from parents greatly exceeded our expectations—more than 150 tickets were sold, even though preparation time was short. Their support created an energetic, joyful atmosphere throughout the day. Games Booth Face Painting Pooth MC by Miss Widy & Ms Dwi The school ground was filled with booths from both Rumah Kecil and Taruwara communities. Parents contributed beautifully curated stalls, while our school kitchen booth served homemade food that sold out quickly. Our kindergarten students also proudly presented their Little Garden Café project, selling seeds, burritos, and handmade crafts from scrap paper. Taruwara Primary students showcased their learning through impressive project booths, including natural skincare, science booth, bird shelter booth, green projects, garden booth, arts exhibitions, school menu ideas, and more. Each booth reflected the children’s learning journey and their ability to apply knowledge creatively and responsibly. We also had a special collaboration booth with Smile Foundation, where our school donated as part of our anniversary contribution. This partnership added a meaningful social impact to our celebration, reminding everyone of the importance of giving back, and also became an opportunity to share kindness through donations. Little Garden Cafe's Team Burito's team teacher and student in action excited parents came to support their kids Performances That Warmed Every Heart The stage became a place of joy as children and teachers presented dance and singing performances that truly enlivened the day.

Growing Together as a Community This anniversary celebration reminded us that connection, collaboration, and shared joy are what make our school community strong. As we continue to grow together, we remain grateful for the trust, support, and togetherness that shape our journey—today and in the years to come. As we reflect on this joyful anniversary event, we are reminded that every shared moment—whether preparing a booth, cheering during a performance, or supporting a child’s small act of courage—strengthens the bond within our school community. Events like this are more than celebrations; they are opportunities for families, teachers, and children to connect in meaningful ways. The laughter, creativity, and collective effort displayed throughout the day showed how powerful community support can be in shaping a positive learning environment. Moving forward, we hope to continue creating spaces where children feel encouraged to explore, families feel welcomed, and everyone feels they are part of something growing and meaningful.
