Dapodik SIDH

Wassenaar, 17 August 2016 — This year’s flag ceremony to celebrate 71st Indonesian independence in The Netherlands was centred in the back garden of our school. Under the lead of H.E. Ambassador Puja it was the first time — after many decades — such solemn event organised by the Indonesian Embassy in the premises of our school.

Like the previous years, all members of the Colour Guard were the ‘lucky fews’ among SIDH students who had been selected by a special committee from the Office of Defence Attaché of the Indonesian Embassy.

According to H.E. Ambassador the decision to organise the ceremony at SIDH was based on several reasons. Firstly it was to boost the nationalism of our students. They are the future vanguards of our nation. Secondly it was to promote the school to the general public to increase  enrollment intakes. Thirdly it was to gradually improve SIDH’s facility condition.

Schiphol International Airport — SIDH’s new principal, Mr Udik Ripul arrived in Schiphol on Thursday morning, 11 August 2016. Mr Ripul landed in The Netherlands accompanied by his wife, son and daughter. The arrival was also welcomed by the Attaché of Education and Culture, Prof. Bambang Hari Wibisono and his wife, and several SIDH teachers.

After bidding farewell to Mr Budi Wahyu Rianto few days earlier, SIDH welcomed the arrival of its new principal. As had been previously wished by Ambassador Puja we are confidently sure Mr Ripul would continue the success story legated by Mr Rianto and explore possible niches to refine with new initiatives and breakthroughs.
