Output Day Event 2025 “Celebrating Knowledge Everywhere!”

Sometimes, all it takes is one good book to start a new habit. 📚✨ At Taruwara, we believe that reading and writing are more than just academic skills — they are the foundation for lifelong learning. From an early age, we encourage our students to see reading not as a task, but as an adventure that opens their imagination, strengthens their focus, and builds empathy through stories. For young learners, developing these skills early helps them express their thoughts more clearly, understand others’ perspectives, and grow confident in communicating their ideas. That’s why we continuously create meaningful opportunities for children to read, write, and reflect in ways that feel enjoyable and personal. 🌱 This semester, our Primary 3–4 students began a small reading challenge, to finish 40 books in one month. What started as a simple goal soon became an exciting surprise: together, they reached 50 books! 📖✨ Every morning, students spend time reading books of their choice. Afterward, they write short reflections or reviews to share their thoughts, feelings, and favorite parts of the stories. This routine helps them slow down, think deeply, and express themselves in writing, turning reading into a joyful habit rather than a duty. Teachers observed how this activity not only improved students’ reading comprehension and writing fluency but also changed their attitude toward learning. Many children now pick up books on their own, curious about new stories and eager to talk about what they’ve read. “At first, we simply wanted to help students improve their literacy skills,” one teacher shared. “But what touched us most was seeing how reading became something they truly look forward to. They now talk about books with excitement — and that’s when we know the love for learning has begun.” 💚 Through consistent practice, students are building self-discipline, critical thinking, and a genuine love for learning, values we hope they’ll carry far beyond the classroom. 💚 At Taruwara, our goal is to help every child grow into a confident, curious, and thoughtful learner. Because when children discover the joy of reading and writing, they don’t just learn, they transform. 🌿 How do you encourage reading time at home?We’d love to hear your ideas and experiences!

We start the first term of the Academic Year 2022-2023 by having projects inspired by students. The project itself is inspired by students playing house with cardboard and teachers pick up on that and expand the ideas for year-long projects. We decided to do camping and related this project to our school events and subjects. Hence the Bazaar Project, our school has its birthday in September and we start planning to contribute to the bazaar event by selling some stuff in order to raise some money for the camping. For the bazaar, students were divided into 3 different groups that will prepare their own stands. The groups are green stands, healthy food stands, and art stands. Students were doing mind maps from the beginning, so they know the connection between each subject and why they need to learn certain topics. Students were really involved from the beginning, during preparation, and on the day. They had a lot of discussions and made decisions themselves. We see a lot of beautiful collaboration between students during preparation and they work their hardest to make this event go smoothly.  Before the bazaar, students learned about measurement, time, and money. These topics are to equip students during the bazaar since some of them are in charge of being the cashier. In Science class, students learned about hygiene and healthy food. Students learned about it and built the menu themselves for the healthy food stand. In Art class, students had the chance to make something from clay and some made some drawings. Overall, students were very involved and excited to have the bazaar. We have had great support from parents during this event and almost everyone participates. For the Green stand, we had a big donation from one of our parents and it is one of the most successful stands. At the end of the bazaar, all stands were able to collect almost Rp. 3.000.000 to support our camping project. Students were really happy with the experience and they worked really hard to count the money themselves.  Next, we are going to prepare for our Camping project. Students may divide into 3 different groups according to the 5 main subjects we have, such as English, Science, Math, Art, and Thematic. They will learn all the necessary topics to support them during camping. We are excited to create great memories on our school grounds through this camping project! Stay tuned for our next project!

"Everywhere—knowledge is everywhere!" On Friday, 28 February 2025, the campuses of Taruwara and Rumah Kecil were buzzing with excitement as students, parents, and teachers gathered for the much-anticipated Output Day Event 2025. 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. More than just a student project showcase, Output Day aligned with key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):📚 SDG 4 - Quality Education: Promoting accessible and engaging learning experiences🏙️ SDG 11 - Sustainable Cities & Communities: Encouraging sustainable practices and social responsibility. 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.
