First Ever “Output Day” Event!

At our school, we believe that healthy meals are the foundation of a thriving learning environment. That’s why we’re mindful about every ingredient we use in our school meals, ensuring that they are nutritious, organic, and sustainably sourced. One of the staples in our daily meals is a blend of organic red rice and white rice, carefully selected to provide both health benefits and a texture that kids enjoy. But what makes our rice special? It’s not just about the nutrition—it’s also about how it’s grown. We source our rice from local farmers who practice eco-friendly farming methods, including the use of eco-enzyme fertilizers. This not only produces high-quality, chemical-free rice but also supports sustainable agriculture. Why We Choose Organic Red Rice Red rice is a powerhouse of nutrition. Unlike white rice, it retains its bran layer, which is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and essential nutrients such as iron, zinc, and B vitamins. Here’s why we include red rice in our school meals: High in fiber – Helps with digestion and keeps kids fuller for longer. Rich in antioxidants – Protects the body from harmful free radicals. Supports heart health – Contains natural compounds that help regulate cholesterol levels. Helps in energy production – Packed with B vitamins that aid in metabolism. Balancing Nutrition and Taste While red rice is highly nutritious, its texture can be firmer than what kids are used to. To make it more palatable, we blend red rice with organic white rice. This combination maintains the nutritional benefits of red rice while ensuring a softer, fluffier texture that children enjoy. Eco-Enzyme Fertilizers: A Sustainable Choice The farmers who supply our white rice use eco-enzyme fertilizers, a natural and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical fertilizers. Eco-enzymes are made from fermented fruit and vegetable scraps, creating a nutrient-rich solution that: Improves soil quality Enhances plant growth naturally Reduces chemical waste in farming Supports biodiversity and eco-friendly agriculture By supporting farmers who use eco-enzyme fertilizers, we are not only ensuring that our students eat the best quality rice but also promoting a more sustainable future for agriculture. As we continue to make mindful food choices, we invite parents and the community to explore red rice at home, too! Try mixing it with white rice, just like we do at school, to create a balanced and nutritious meal. Together, we can nurture a generation that values both their health and the planet—one mindful meal at a time.

Children love animals, and for good reason having pets at school has been dreamed of by our students. Our "pet project" started with creating an egg incubator, so that we can hatch our own chick. But unfortunately, it failed after three trials. Haven't given up yet, we discussed and decided to continue the project by adopting another pet. It wasn't an easy decision to decide which pet we would like to adopt. Finally, we agreed to adopt a guinea pig and our guinea pig project began. To support our project, we need to prepare everything thoroughly. We learnt many theories about guinea pigs in each class. In science, we learnt that guinea pigs are rodent animals. We got to know their natural predators and foods. It helps us to take care of them. Inviting guinea pig owners is also on our list. We would like the experts to share their real experiences in order to take care of guinea pigs. We also got a chance to ask some questions regarding guinea pigs. As mentioned before, we learnt many things in order to support our project. We learnt measurement in math so that we can design and create the best guinea pig cage. In order to take care of our guinea pig, we set up a duty schedule and took turns giving food and cleaning the cage. A mind map helps to visually organize all the records of ideas about a project. It also helps us to track back all information or steps to enhance creative problem-solving skills. In order to conduct our guinea pig project, the students record every piece of information they have learnt on mind mapping. They also add more information they wish to enrich. It also shows the steps and goals of their project. Documentation: Q&A with guinea pig expert.

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. There was a touching singing moment that moved the audience, as well as fun dance performances that brought energy and excitement into the crowd. Many parents were deeply proud watching their children confidently present their projects and creations. Taruwara teacher's performance. Beautiful performance from taruwara student.

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.
