Dear Parents, We believe in building a strong and collaborative partnership between home and school. To foster a supportive environment for all our students, we are excited to introduce you to our Parent Advisory Group (PAG) and Classroom Parent Representative (CPR). The PAG and CPR are integral to the SPH Kemang Village community. Together, we create a vibrant and united community where open communication and collaboration thrive. The primary goal of these groups is to strengthen the bond between parents and the school, ensuring a supportive educational journey for every child. PAGs work closely with specific grade levels or committees to support the school, teachers, and students. They contribute to creating a positive school environment by organizing engaging events and activities that foster school spirit. CPRs play a crucial role in maintaining a harmonious classroom and school community. They act as a bridge between parents and teachers, facilitating smooth communication and cooperation. Together, PAGs and CPRs are dedicated volunteers who work hand-in-hand with the school to instill true knowledge, faith in Christ, and godly character in our students. Please refer to the attached files for the contact information and directory of SPH Kemang Village PAGs and CPRs for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Dear Students and Parents,     At SPH Kemang Village, we place a strong emphasis on grade-appropriate reading material in our classrooms. As we approach the summer break, we do not wish to interrupt the progress our students have made in their reading journeys. Therefore, we are pleased to share summer reading lists. Our primary objective is not only to encourage reading but also to foster a genuine passion for it among our students. These lists have been created for each grade level, offering a range of complexity to engage and challenge our students. While the provided list serves as a starting point, we encourage you to venture beyond its boundaries. We invite you to review the list and select books that you and your child can enjoy together. Setting a goal of reading one book per week is an excellent way to make the most of the summer break. To simplify the selection process, we have taken care to curate the list this summer. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your partnership in the education and personal growth of your children. Your commitment and active involvement play a significant role in their development.  Once again, we thank you for your valuable support, and we eagerly anticipate the next phase of our shared journey. We wish you and your family a delightful and restful break.

Summer vacation is in full swing, and we hope you and your family are having a relaxing and enriching time.  However, long stretches of free time can sometimes lead to boredom and excessive screen time for our children.   Drawing on insights from our recent parent seminar, "Summer Safety 101," led by Mr. Jason Theophilus (EdTech Coordinator) and Mr. Calum Walker (Makerspace Coordinator), this blog aims to equip you with practical strategies to keep your child engaged and create lasting summer memories. Embracing Boredom Our journey begins by acknowledging that boredom, while often seen as a negative, can actually be a positive force.  According to the Mayo Clinic,   "A little boredom for children and adults can be a good thing." Boredom sparks creativity and encourages children to explore their imaginations. However, in today's fast-paced world filled with instant gratification, it can be challenging for them to embrace unstructured time. The answer? Providing engaging alternatives to screen time. Combating Boredom with Structure Having a structure for the summer helps alleviate boredom and creates a sense of rhythm for everyone. Consider these three planning areas: Daily Plans:   Create a list of activities your child can choose from each day. This could include STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) projects, art and crafts sessions, or playdates. Pinterest and other online resources offer a wealth of inspiration! Family Plans:   Schedule outings like family photoshoots, day trips, or even a summer vacation! Personal Plans:   This is where your child's unique interests shine. Does your child enjoy a particular hobby or summer school program? Make space for these activities as well. Turning the Tables: From Screen Time to Real-World Fun Video games can be a source of entertainment and learning, but a balance is key. Here's how to translate the fun of online games into engaging, real-world activities: Building/Crafting Games (Minecraft, Roblox):   Break out the Legos, build forts, or tackle age-appropriate carpentry projects. Even helping with gardening can be a fun, hands-on experience. Strategy Games (Civilization, Age of Empires):   Dust off those board games like chess, Risk, or Ticket to Ride. These games can spark discussions about history and different cultures. Racing Games (Mario Kart, Forza):   Get active with bike rides, build and race remote-controlled cars, or play sports that involve running or cycling. Dress-up/Fashion Games (Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing):   Channel your inner fashionista with dress-up sessions, design clothes or costumes, or put on a family fashion show. Simulation Games (The Sims, Stardew Valley):   Caring for pets, helping with chores, or volunteering at animal shelters or community gardens are all great ways to connect with living things. Social Games (Fortnite, Animal Crossing):    Promote social interaction with group games outdoors, joining clubs or sports teams, or volunteering with friends. The key is to find activities that tap into the same skills and interests that your child enjoys in the online world. This will make the transition away from the screen more appealing. Stuck for ideas? Use AI assistants like Google Gemini! Simply type in the game your child plays and ask for activity substitutes. Building Schedules Creating a schedule with your child at the beginning of summer provides a sense of structure and ownership. Schedules benefit children in three ways: Autonomy:   Feeling in control of their choices fosters a sense of volition and freedom. Competence:   Mastery, progression, and achievement contribute to a child's sense of competence. Relatedness:   Knowing they are important to others and that others are important to them strengthens a child's sense of belonging. Don't forget to explore the many family-friendly activities available around Jakarta – we've included a list for your reference in the presentation slide at the end of this blog! Making Screen Time Meaningful While we advocate for alternatives, complete tech bans aren't always realistic. The "5C Method" developed by healthychildren.org ( read more ) can help ensure safe and appropriate screen time. Here are the 5 Cs to consider: Child:   Who is your child? What are their interests and motivations for using technology? Content:   What are they accessing? Is it age-appropriate and educational? Calm:   How does technology make your child feel? Does it promote relaxation or frustration? Crowding Out:   What other activities could they be doing instead of screen time? Communication:   Do you have regular conversations with your child about their online activities? Utilizing Technology for Good Technology can be a powerful tool for learning and engagement. Here are a few ideas: Spark Curiosity:   Use technology to pose "what-if" questions and explore different scenarios. AI for Understanding:   Consider using AI assistants like Google Gemini to gain insights into your child's interests and recommend activities. Digital Meets Physical:    There are many apps and websites that offer printable activity pages that combine technology with real-world activities (e.g., jarrettlerner.com/activities/ , tinytruthsbible.com/resources ). We hope this guide equips you for a fun-filled and enriching summer with your children. Remember, these activities are not just about beating boredom but also about building lasting bonds and fostering your child's growth.
