Dear Friends and kind Supporters,
Go Green and Show the Way!
Thank you so very much for all your wonderful support. On behalf of everyone at our school, The Lilliput World, we are happy to say that in the past few months we have been able to continue our activities and also launch some new initiatives.
The academic school year in Indonesia usually ends in June and so, at the end of term a few weeks ago, we celebrated the graduation of the very first graduates from The Lilliput World. Much has changed since we opened our doors to our first eight students and these first three graduates will always have a special place in the school’s history. As we sent these first three newborns on from our community, we were happy to celebrate their achievements and growth while also sad to see them go. We wish them a bright future ahead and know they will always remain members of The Lilliput World family, where a warm welcome awaits them whenever they remember us.
The long school holiday does not mean everything stops and it has already provided the chance for us to hold our first holiday camp. We welcomed an enthusiastic group of children from ages 3-12 for five full days of activities and are so proud of our wonderful teachers who created a joyful atmosphere and days packed with fun, learning and warm memories. Many thanks to student volunteers from Gajah Mada University and the Indonesian Art Institute, to chef parents, our sports and yoga teachers and staff who so ably supported our class teachers in creating a worthwhile and enjoyable learning experience for all.
Parents’ programmes continued well this past term and saw a strengthening of our community and parents’ involvement with school. We focused on the well-being of mother earth by running more waste management campaigns and held a session on how to make healthy homemade snacks for school snack time.
A highlight of April was Earth Day and a campaign called Go Green! It's Our Turn to Lead! in which students learned how to reduce, reuse and recycle waste and shared their knowledge and practices with others.
Other recent activities include:
We remain committed to helping making quality pre-school education available to those who do not otherwise have access to it and close with thanks again for all your support as we continue our activities with the motto of Learn, Understand and Grow!
With best wishes from all of us at Yayasan Taman Cipta Karya Nusantara.
