23 MEET OUR ALUMNI

Aisyah Adinda, Graduated in 2017 Currently studying at the Faculty of Law, Padjajaran University Sekolah Pilar Indonesia has tremendously changed me as a person. Not only did I get to learn academic knowledge, I also got to sharpen my soft-skills, such as public speaking and working in team that have helped me survive in one of the top ten universities in Indonesia. It was such a joy to be able to grow in a supportive and warm environment. I highly recommend Sekolah Pilar Indonesia to anyone who wants to challenge themselves and be comfortable with their own self.

Rasadhika Khansa Amara, Graduated in 2019 Currently studying at Faculty of Arts and Design, Bandung Institute of Technology Sekolah Pilar Indonesia has brought me to a range of experiences I bet I would have never encountered in any other schools. It has equipped me with various knowledge and skills to guide me throughout the rest of my life. I had a really great time studying alongside with very kind teachers and colourful friends.

Richard Christopher Manurung, Graduated in 2016 Faculty of Law, – Cum Laude Predicate, currently studying for Master's Degree (Litigation Law – Gadjah Mada University) From my years of studying at Sekolah Pilar Indonesia, I understand that the role of a teacher is beyond teaching. Teachers are our parents at school and even best friends, with whom we can share our stories freely. It is often said that our time in Senior High is unforgettable, a time when teenagers seek for their place in the world. Thus, character building is essential. For me, my achievements up to now are also the evidence of how Sekolah Pilar Indonesia' teachers and supporting team have greatly affected my life. Thank you, Sekolah Pilar Indonesia!

25 WHAT DO THEY SAY ABOUT SEKOLAH PiLAR INDONESiA?

Students

Suri, Grade 5 I like to learn at Sekolah Pilar Indonesia because I learn a lot of new things. All of the teachers are nice because they help me learn new subjects and guide me when I am confused or still don’t understand about the learning materials. My favourite subjects are Visual Art and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). I like Visual Art because I enjoy painting, making new objects and crafting. I like ICT because I can learn about computer science, such as drawing shapes with loops and Pixel Art. I have some good friends in class who play together with me and help me when I have difculties in learning.

Reza, Grade 7 I am happy to learn at Sekolah Pilar Indonesia. All of the teachers and friends are really kind. The teachers are helpful and supportive. We strive to be independent, highly-principled and to appreciate diversity.

Richelle, Grade 10 Sekolah Pilar Indonesia has become a home for me. I have been at Sekolah Pilar Indonesia for approximately 10 years and I have a really good time here. I have experienced and learnt a lot of new things that inspire me. At Sekolah Pilar Indonesia, every student is encouraged to develop their talents and interests. I really admire how Sekolah Pilar Indonesia believes that every student is unique in their own way. The teachers will guide us step by step, give us advices and support us to achieve our goals. Another thing that has been my favourite aspect is the environment. The students, parents, teachers and staff have a strong bond with each other. We help each other, share and have fun together. Sekolah Pilar Indonesia is a wonderful place to grow. 26 Parents

Ibu Nella Fatriani Parent of Firo (Grade 12) and Darrell (Grade 8)

Choosing Sekolah Pilar Indonesia is one of the best decisions we have ever made for our children’s education. The school has met our expectations in both academic and non-academic areas. They have become condent individuals. Attentive teachers, caring friends, as well as supportive and encouraging environment have created a comfortable atmosphere for our children to thrive. Another plus point for Sekolah Pilar Indonesia is their readiness to prepare Pilar Distance Learning system, which ensures the access to meaningful and enjoyable learning, as well as the opportunities to develop their interests and talents. Thank you, Sekolah Pilar Indonesia.

Ibu Febrianty Ulag Parent of Nael (Grade 9), Rein (Grade 8) and Fiddy (Grade 3)

One of the values held by Sekolah Pilar Indonesia is appreciating diversity. All students care about one another, not only among classmates, but students from different levels as well despite different background, ethnic groups, or religions. As a parent, I think this is a very important value. At Sekolah Pilar Indonesia, the students learn about the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens in Junior High. This Character Building lesson is delivered in such interesting ways, that enable the students to develop their potential. They become risk-takers who are condent to make decisions. The school also builds great connections with parents. Parents are often involved in a variety of school programmes and are well-informed about the children’s development. This openness makes us, parents, feel comfortable and we trust the school for our children’s education.

27 Ibu Raydanni Dilianawati Parent of Justin (Grade 5)

2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, especially for us. A lot of things are happening in the world and in our lives. We managed to survive the rst half of the year relatively at ease, adapting to the new online school. Graduating from 4th grade to 5th grade was the rst of many online sessions in 2020. We also faced difcult challenges in our personal lives. Justin had to have his open heart surgery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In the time where travel was almost impossible, we made it there and were able to have his surgery performed and Justin recovered nicely. All of these were done while he also insisted to continue his online classes. The support from his classmates and teachers gave him the strength to face his fear. We are happy now that we are back in Cibubur, especially for Justin, that despite his personal challenges, he managed to have good grades! I think he inspires us all to be brave and always give his best, no matter what the situation is. If anything, 2021 is going to be even more challenging.

We began the rst quarter of 2020 by starting to do online classes, the rst of many more. While this might pose a challenge, Sekolah Pilar Indonesia has been careful enough to help all parties involved, students, teachers and parents, to adapt to this new format. The children have also explored netiquettes, which we think is a very important thing to do, especially in this age where now it’s unavoidable not to do things online. It’s also super important to know basic netiquettes. When Justin graduated from 4th grade to 5th grade, it was nice to see that everyone has adapted to online schooling. We love to see that even though the teachers teach virtually, they still provide “ofce hours”, when they chat with the students casually about any topics. 2021 might be even more challenging, but for the kids, we think they are going to be okay because they have their friends by their (virtual) side.

Ibu Rikmawanty Parent of Arzey (Grade 5)

One of the considerations in choosing the best school for my son is the alignment of the school's vision and mission with our family's vision. My husband and I believe that our son needed a school whose teachers and staff put a great emphasis on building great relationships with students and parents. We chose Sekolah Pilar Indonesia because here, school is a happy place where learning is meaningful and enjoyable. Thank you, Sekolah Pilar Indonesia!

28 Ibu Rosana Listanto Parent of Raya (Grade 12)

The word “Pilar” in Sekolah Pilar Indonesia means this school acts as a pillar, aiming at supporting the nation and making heavy burdens of its members feel lighter. It is my hope that Sekolah Pilar Indonesia continues to do so, as it has always been doing since the school was established.

The three prime values of independence, commitment to being principled and appreciation towards diversity were another reason why we chose this school. A friendly and warm atmosphere invited not only my son, but also my family to grow together with Sekolah Pilar Indonesia. The hospitality and openness between the school and parents create great communication and parents are welcome to give inputs and suggestions.

The school believes that every child is unique and I can see how Raya and all students are given opportunities to develop their talents and skills. They are free to express themselves and as for Raya, his love for music and talents have been growing. The school has made it possible through events such as Festival Musik Keroncong and musical drama, that have challenged the students to develop and improve their skills furthermore.

Sekolah Pilar Indonesia also shows dedication to support the community. Regularly, teachers or students teach English at the local community and actively hold or support charity events.

I truly hope that Sekolah Pilar Indonesia can keep contributing to the society and promoting appreciation towards cultural and social diversity.

BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA, unity in diversity.
