Wassenaar Campus, 22 May 2012  — To our students, parents and guardians, here is the schedule of 2nd semester examination for 2011/2012 academic year. It will be held from 4 through 8 June 2012. Thank you.

Wassenaar Campus — This Thursday, 10 May 2012, SIN Wassenaar welcomed Mr. J. Razenberg (Director) and Ms. Marieke van ‘t Veld (an English teacher) of the Candea College, Duiven. The visit was made to further explore a new collaborative project between the Candea College and SIN Wassenaar, which is dubbed as “Crossing Borders”. Using the ever expanding opportunity of the Internet, the programme will facilitate sharing and exchanging activities through a common web-based platform for participating students and teachers from Candea College and SIN Wassenaar which would include our partner schools in Indonesia as well. At the outset it is designed to start at small scale first in terms of involvement and scope of collaboration. There would be a wide range of issues to be exchanged and shared, from educational to cultural, from norms and values to cuisines of both nations (Indonesia and The Netherlands).

Ms. Arbayah Kumalawati (SIN Wassenaar’s Director) welcomed this initiative very much. It is expected to boost the exisiting warm relationship between these two nations in smaller landscape, and naturally would bring benefits to both sides.

As a token of this initiative and friendship, SIN Wassenaar received a very special gift from the Candea College, namely a pear tree (Conference), that will planted in our yard, and be called the Candea’s pear tree as would grow and yield fruits in years to come. We appreciate such gift so much as we welcome the initiative that would be formally launched in September 2012.

Wassenaar Campus — Students of SIN Wassenaar’s Primary School took the national final examination this year, which was kicked-off on Monday, 7 May 2012, by Ms. Arbayah Kumalawati. It would complete through Wednesday, 9 May 2012.

Two students were taking this examination, Ardian and Nardiéna; both are our distance learning participants. Ardian is from Sweden and Nardiéna is from UK. For the Primary School, there are three subjects nationally examined: Indonesian Language, Mathematics, and Science. Subjects other than those previously mentioned constitute school-based examination. We hope all of our national final examinees this year will pass with flying colours.

Wassenaar Campus — SIN Wassenaar celebrated the Kartini Day as well as the National Education Day 2012 by convening a special programme namely “The Kartini Bloemen Project”, 27 April 2012. During the event the school organised several contests: tulip presentation, flower arranging, fried-rice cooking, and Indonesian traditional costumes parade. Teacher and students representatives from the German International School The Hague (Deutsche internationale Schule Den Haag) also participated in the activities. Mr. Moormann (Estata Makelaars) and Ms. Linda Dubbock (German School) were among the judges of the competitions.

This project has been the final stage of the previous programme, The Bhinneka Tunggal Ika Exhibition at SIN Wassenaar which had been organised to commemorate the Youth Pledge Day, 28 October 2011. On that day, the Indonesian chargé d’affairs and spouse, Mr. Umar Hadi and Ms. Nila Hadi, formally launched the project by planting the tulip bulbs of different colours symbolising SIN Wassenaar’s logo. Now it has grown up and charmly blossomed out, beautifying the school’s yard landscape.

Representing the Indonesian Embassy, Attaché of Education, Mr. Ramon Mohandas expressed his appreciation to SIN Wassenaar for organising the unique event. On her part, Ms. Arbayah Kumalawati, SIN Wassenaar’s director cum the inspirator of this project reiterated that this activity has been a contribution to promote Indonesian education, language and culture in The Netherlands and beyond.
