At the centre of our community are our students. Global Jaya is dedicated to providing a positive, safe and supportive learning environment. We are pleased to report that IT hardware and software have been purchased for the school. These updates will allow stronger bandwidths and increase the capacity for students to access the internet. In addition, we have purchased iPads for the Primary Years. The iPads are an extra tool for learning and plans to support the process are in place. Pak Rully and Pak Dan in Primary are assigned as Technology Coordinators. They are helping teachers to enhance lessons through technology and support new platforms such as ManageBac. With regards to the Ministry of Education and rules and regulations, GJIS will comply with expectations from the government. According to authorities, the word ‘International’ cannot be used within our school name. Although we have had international status since 2009 the final written authorisation was not approved and signed by the Ministry. Global Jaya is authorized by the IBO to offer Primary and Middle Years Programmes, along with the Diploma Programme. By the 1st of December, we have been instructed to change our name. The Directors and Leadership Team have decided to change the school name to Global Jaya School. A number of signs and postings will require a new logo and we will finalise this very soon. Please be assured that our curriculum will not change. The Principals will be issuing letters to explain to Indonesian families about examination options for Year 6 and Year 9. The Year 12 National Exam will also be offered as an option for our senior students. If you have any queries about our school or programmes, I would welcome you to make an appointment. I hope your weeks ahead are fulfilling and positive. Sincere regards, David J. Hornby Head of School 2 KONTAK Global Jaya International School Parents Workshops: Introduction to PYP and MSC In Primary School at Global Jaya, we are proud to regularly invite parents to workshops to assist in their understanding of the programme and identify the various ways they can support their child's learning at home. On Saturday 20 September, 28 new parents attended the Introduction to PYP and MSC workshops. These workshops are designed for new and current parents, to learn new information, confirm what they already know or contribute to the explanations and discussion based on their own experience. We would like to thank all parents for their enthusiasm when participating in the discussions and also for their ongoing support. We are looking forward to meeting more parents at the next parent workshops in Term 2. BOOK WEEK! This year’s Book Week theme is “Gotta Keep Reading”, though by the time you read this most Book Week events will have taken place. However, our final event will take place in the Theatre on Open Day, November 1 and parents are cordially invited to attend. Soccer coach, author, language teacher, traveller and raconteur Ronny Mintjens will be addressing students from Years 5-12 about his adventures as a soccer coach and traveller in South Africa and North Korea. For the younger students, his presentation will be more lighthearted and entertaining, but with the older students he will concentrate on the darker aspects of life in North Korea and the difference between media hyperbole and real life in this mysterious realm. Ronny will be on hand to sign books and answer questions after his student sessions, before conducting soccer workshops for students and staff after lunch. Saturday November 1 (GJIS Open Day) Year 5,6,7 at 7.50 am Year 8,9,10 at 8.40 am Year 11,12 at 10.10 am Meet author Ronny Mintjens www.ronnymintjens.com/ Global Jaya International School KONTAK 3 Primary News O n Monday the 29th of September 2014, the Year 1 students visited the Fatmawati Post Office in South Jakarta, as a front-loading activity for our second unit about Communication. At school, we wrote a letter to a friend and brought it to the post office to learn about the process of how letters get posted and sent. By the time this article gets published, all of our students will have received their letters. Thank you postal workers! On Friday 26 September, the year 2 students had their first assembly of this school year. They presented what have they had learned from our first UOI, which had the central idea “Interdependence within Communities”. The students showed their CONFIDENCE, COOPERATION AND ENTHUSIASM when preparing for and performing two songs and some short dramas and role plays based on the concepts of CONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE and also CONFIDENCE. It was an amazing performance! 4 KONTAK We are currently learning about the concept of REFLECTION. One of the activities we are engaging in is finding out about our personal rubbish production by collecting our own rubbish from our snacks and drinks for one week. As a learning experience to encourage REFLECTION, on Wednesday 8 October, we were asked to carry the rubbish we generated in one week in black rubbish bags during play times. We then REFLECTED on what it felt like to have to carry our rubbish around with us and how to create less rubbish at school. Here is the result of our REFLECTION. Global Jaya International School As one of the front loading activities for UOI 2 under the transdisciplinary theme “Where We Are in Place and Time”, Year 4 went to Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta. The purpose of the trip was to support students in their personal projects. During the trip we visited Museum Indonesia, attractions from certain provinces and Klenteng King Miao. Students demonstrated their curiosity and communication skills when they asked the tour guides questions. In music class, the Year 5 students have been inquiring into the relationship between performers and their audience. Students have explored why it is important to make a connection with the audience and how a performance needs to be designed with the audience in mind. To bring this to action, students selected and performed Incy Wincy Spider, This Old Man, ABC, Old Mc Donald, Mary Had a Little Lamb, London Bridge, Twinkle-Twinkle Little Star and Humpty Dumpty in front of Kindy and Reception. Global Jaya International School KONTAK 5 In Year 6 this Semester, as a part of the MidSemester Conferences (MSCs), parents and students were provided the materials to create a mural where the students and parents could express their ideas, opinions and artistic expressions of the natural environment of Bali. In fact, this was something new in the MSCs, where the parents not only heard about and observed the results of the students' learning, but they could also be involved in an activity with their child. Both parents and students were very enthusiastic to participate! The Year 6 assembly was an energy filled experience! For the assembly, students wrote and presented scenes which reflected their understanding of the actions that people take to tackle issues in their communities. We observed three different situations: in a classroom, in a canteen and in a community near a river. The scenes demonstrated how ignorant actions in their community result in negative affects. Such negative practices depicted people littering in a river, pushing forward past others in a line in a school canteen and skipping class. The students then replayed each scene demonstrating solutions to these problems. Being directly involved as writers and actors, the students really enjoyed performing in the assembly! Film Competition By Giovano Dhivaldi year 11C & Karin Salum year 11F It all started in early September, when Ocha approached the rest of us (Bima, Reyhan, Karin, Dinda and Gio) saying that there would be a short film competition in Tunas Muda International School. Though this was our first time joining a competition like this together, we decided that we might as well give it a shot as a team. In the end, we managed to win 2nd place in this competition. It turned out that there were only 7 teams from various schools that participated in this competition. Even so, it was an extremely competitive event and all the schools made movies that we thought were brilliant, thus making us feel really honored about managing to win second place—especially because this was our first time making a film together for a competition and also because we had written, shot, and edited the film in only 5 days. A couple of us had never even made a film for a competition before, or occupied the role that we did in the production team. Reyhan, the director on the production team of “Unrequited” (the name of our short film), said that, “It was pretty challenging as I didn’t have much experience directing a film. Thankfully my friends helped me go through that and helped me to achieve this result.” We’re extremely proud of being able to represent Global Jaya International School in this film competition and we hope that we’ll be able to achieve first place next time we do this. 6 KONTAK Global Jaya International School International Day of Peace – Speech Competition Monday, October 22, 2014 E ach year, the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The United Nations General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. To mark the 30th anniversary of the General Assembly Declaration on the Right of Peoples to Peace, the theme of this year’s International Day of Peace is the “Right of Peoples to Peace”. This anniversary offers a unique opportunity to reaffirm the United Nations commitment to the purposes and principles upon which the Organization was founded. The Declaration on the Right of Peoples to Peace recognizes that the promotion of peace is vital for the full enjoyment of all human rights. In Global Jaya, the International Day of Peace is also celebrated every year. The Global Jaya Model United Nations (MUN) club is the promoter of the event in the form of a Speech Competition. All students from Year 7 to 12 were welcomed to join in both Individual and Team categories. They competed in 2 divisions: Junior (Year 7 to 10) and Senior (Year 11 to 12). This year, there were 10 students participating in the Junior Division and 21 students in the Senior Division. All students presented their speech in English in 3 minutes. They discussed issues regarding peace, the right of peoples to peace and gave example of activities they could do as a student to promote peace in the school community. Apart from that, Year 11 and 12 students who are taking Mandarin, Spanish and French were also involved in the event. Addressing the same issue, they presented their speech in Mandarin or Spanish or French. They were amazing and almost sounded like native speakers!

We apologize in form and spirit for any offense and pray that our fasting for Ramadhan will be accepted by Allah Almighty. PESANTREN KILAT Eid al- Adha Celebration 1435 H Welcome, IdulAdha 1435 H. Our committee organized events with the theme of Eid al-Adha Celebration: A more meaningful life to share, on Sunday, October 5, 2014 at the Masjid Al – Ghafur. We received 18 goats and 2 cows from GJIS parents, resulting in 607 plastic bags with meat, each weighing 1 kg. In accordance with tradition, the meat was distributed to the poor and needy in the areas neighboring Global Jaya International School, including : Masjid Al - Ghafur, RT 01, RT 02, RT 03, RT 04, RT 05, local villages, police, Koramil, workers, Security, ISS and members of the committee.We On 7-8 June 2014 I joined the pesantren programme in PadepokanPencakSilat Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII). The first day we went to asrama haji PondokGede to do Manasik Haji, tawaf, wukuf, sa'i, tahalul and we prayed dhuha. After we did the Manasik haji, we went to the hotel and discussed the essential agreements. In the outbound program, we learned to cooperate with others. I felt so happy because it was very fun! After the outbound activity, we made a small building from straws and played a game that is similar to musical chairs but we used names instead of music. We also went to the At-tin mosque to pray and read qur'an. The next morning, we went to the musholla to do subuh prayer and did morning exercise such as stretching, jumping and walking around the hotel. After we ate breakfast, we did competitions which were cerdas-cermat, adzan demonstration, sholat demonstration, reading qur'an or iqro. After that, teachers gave out our trophies and certificates and I got the cerdas- cermat trophy and the best santriwati certificate. want to thank all students, parent's committee and the various related parties for your cooperation and participation in the implementation of these activities. Congratulations, IdulAdha 1435 H. We apologize in form and spirit for any offense and pray that our sacrifice will be accepted by Allah Almighty. By Pak Tisno By Dara Year 5A 8 KONTAK Global Jaya International School Jogja Camp By Pak Dhanu interesting subjects and playing various games. S eptember 29th until October 3rd was a memorable week for the Year 7 students, who went on their first secondary school trip to Yogyakarta. This is the 11th year of the Jogja Camp at Global Jaya international School. The reason why we keep on having this trip is its success at building strong and positive bonds between all year 7 students, as well as teaching them to become more independent as individuals. Students got along really well and enjoyed doing various activities. Some of the activities broadened their knowledge about Jogja’s historical places as well as the Javanese culture in general. They visited the Sultan’s Palace and the famous Borobudur Temple, watched the Ramayana Ballet Dance Performance, learned how to play gamelan and to paint batik. Alongside these culture-related activities, other activities like rafting, outbound activities and team-building games intensified their bonds of friendship and camaraderie. Year 7 students also learned about PoSSSE* and how to implement its value, especially how to respect others. This was further reinforced through our Jogja Camp CnS activities, where Year 7 students visited two primary schools, teaching the students some Global Jaya International School To wrap up the trip, Year 7 students participated in a one-night full camping experience. They all participated and enjoyed various group performances on the stage in front of their friends, gathering around the bonfire and sleeping in tents. Loads of activities, lots of laughs and it was all fully worth it. Here are some testimonies from the students: “The camp was fun and exciting; I have known more about my friends ever since. The camp helped me in building my cooperation and communicating with my friends.” “The most interesting activity that I have done during the camp is rafting. For me, it’s interesting because you can learn about teamwork and other stuff like planning. I think that’s useful.” “I feel like this is a good camp, because it developed our team-building skills. We get to know each other more and get the chance to make new best friends!” *PoSSSE: Positive, Safe, and Supportive School Environment KONTAK 9 AZERBAIJAN CULTURE EXCHANGE I n September, a contingent of fifteen students and three teachers went to Azerbaijan as part of the GJIS Culture Exchange Programme. This was the second exchange trip, following the notable success of last year’s journey to Ukraine. The programme includes homestays, performances, participation in classes at local schools, a student led presentation about Indonesian culture and visits to place of special interest. We focus on unique destinations that allow for a sincere appreciation of a foreign culture and endeavor to maintain long term relationships with our hosts and new friends. Two of the most memorable aspects of our trips are always the homestay experience and participation in classes at school. This process of immersion provides depth to the experience and a real understanding that what we learn from news reports and Wikipedia about a country and its people barely scratches the surface. Stereotypes and assumptions quickly disappear as students discover that people are people no matter where we are in the world and that we have much more in common than anticipated. 10 KONTAK We are particularly proud of the fact that our students often remain in contact with their new friends long after they return home. The students watched with sincere concern as events unfolded in Ukraine last year. The protests took place in Independence Square, just in front of the hotel where we stayed and the barricade shown in many reports was just under the bridge where students stood together for photos. Our students were able to talk to their friends in Ukraine, to hear their stories, share their concerns and offer expressions of support. It is encouraging to know that we have helped to bridge the gap between Indonesia and these two great nations and that we have done it with sincerity and grace. Most reassuring, though, is that we have done it through our children, in whom we have now planted a seed of understanding that cannot be unplanted. Though we hope their roots will be firmly planted in their Indonesian heritage, we are equally hopeful that their branches will grow to cover the length and breadth of the world. Global Jaya International School Our trip to Azerbaijan included the following performances: A performance at School No. 6 whose audience included not only students and teachers, but also the Ambassadors from Indonesia, Japan and Korea, the Ambassador from Azerbaijan to Indonesia and high ranking officials from the Azerbaijan State Department and Office of The President. A live interview and performance on AzTV, Azerbaijan’s largest television station. The students sang, performed the Saman Dance and Jason Suwito played Fragmen by Jaya Suprana on the studio’s grand piano. A performance in the courtyard of the Sharvanshah Palace in the Old Walled City. An impromptu performance for the Director and guests at Qala Archeological and Cultural Heritage Site. By Pak Andy Dougharty Global Jaya International School KONTAK 11 GJIS SPORTS NEWS Southville Sports Exchange Please congratulate all of the students that represented our school with high levels of passion, class and skill in Manila from September 24th to 28th. GJIS sent 19 students who competed in volleyball, basketball and soccer over the three days. All students participated in each sport and did a great job adapting to the different challenges they faced. I was very proud of the sportsmanship, enthusiasm and character this group of young adults demonstrated during this trip. They were great representatives for our school. The girl’s teams achieved 2nd place in soccer and 3rd place in basketball. The boy’s team achieved 3rd place for soccer and volleyball. Varsity Girls Volleyball Year 12 Kelsea I would like to thank all of the volleyball athletes for their hard work and commitment during the first season. We went undefeated during our divisional games against JIS, BIS and STB and earned first place and direct entry to the JAAC semi final against JIS, which we won 3-0. We lost to defending champion SPH-LV 3-1 in the finals. Kelsea Dressler was named as an AllStar for the season. I was very impressed with this group of athlete’s determination and passion to improve their volleyball skills. With only one Year 12 student on the team the future GJIS team should be very strong. 12 KONTAK Year 11 Debra Year 10 Karissa Year 9 Sam Desiree Letisha Stephanie Naya Caca Katie Kim Raissa Irene Deandra Kimberly Alisa Patricia Julianna Laras By Pak Kelly Global Jaya International School Varsity BOYS Volleyball By Pak Dedi Global Jaya’s Varsity volleyball boys team made great progress this season. Ten boys joined the team this year. We practiced from August until October with Pak Dedi as our coach. We joined and participated in the volleyball league JAAC (Jakarta Athletic Activities Conference). After three months of practice, the team grew stronger and focused on cooperation skills. Everybody on the team has been able to play well. Many boys can demonstrate techniques and strategies at an excellent level when playing volleyball and show exceptional teamwork on the court. This is an amazing improvement from last year and hopefully in the next season the team will continue working hard so we can win first place. We are so proud to have played with the team this season. We all grew as a family and we loved every minute of every practice and game. It’s been such an amazing time and we can’t wait to play again next season with these boys and the next ones to join! For the Western Region Group of schools, the boys GJIS team were successfully became ranked first and advanced to the final round. Then we played against the Eastern Region Group of schools on the 3rd of October at Sekolah Pelita Harapan Karawaci. In the final round we played against SPH Karawaci. Our team played well and tried to secure the first place; however, we succeeded in placing second overall.

Congratulations to the Boys and Girls GJIS badminton teams for your hard work, commitment and your participation in all practices and tournaments this year. Thank you for CAS and CNS students Noel (11E) and David (10D) for your help and support in Badminton practices this session.

The girls showed great commitment by arriving early and warming up with enthusiasm. The large number of girls participating in this year's squad ensured quick rotations and a fast pace. Their opponents were also quick footed and well organized, but the GJIS girls were determined to play tough, strong defense forcing SPH to earn their points from the foul line. Middle School Basketball By Ibu Sarah Verdaguer At the end, the score board (SPH 29, GJIS 4) did not reflect the closely fought game. The GJIS girls should certainly be congratulated for their enthusiasm and supportive approach which was evident in their continued cheering and encouragement from the sidelines. 14 KONTAK Global Jaya International School By Pak Totok Varsity Boys Soccer The Varsity Boys Soccer team is made up of Year 10 – 12 students. The formation of the team started during the try-out activities, for which approximately 28 students registered, and finally ended with 22 players at the end of August. With incredible passion and commitment, the players diligently trained three times a week after school for 1.5 hours for drill skills, fitness development and individual-team tactics. At the beginning of September, the team competed with 4 other schools in the West Division; UPH College, SPH-LV, St Laurensia and BIS. This league applied a home-away system where each team in the group has an opportunity to compete as a home team and an away team. After finishing 8 matches in the group, the GJIS team achieved 1st place in the West Division and collected 19 points from 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. The team went on to win against SPH Kemang 3 – 0 in the quarter final and beat SPH Lippo Village 2 – 0 in the semi final. The team played a final match against BIS and all players demonstrated their skill, effort and spirit. In the end, however, the team had to acknowledge BIS as the winner. The GJIS team achieved 2nd place after losing to the BIS team 1 – 6 in the final. As their coach, I am proud of my players, all of whom have great talent, sense of responsibility, spirit, effort and commitment. Once again, well done to all players involved. Your effort and hard work is an inspiration to the GJIS Junior players and helps to encourage their spirit and commitment. GJIS Players are Arda, Nicky, Al-Bani, Amza, Billy, Devin, Reva, Derryl and Ghifary (Year 12), Haneef, Galang, Baron, Gio, Matu, Reyhan P, Kevin J, Azriel and Rafli (Year 11), Brian, Angga and Bagas (Year 10). Varsity Girls Soccer By Pak Eko The Jakarta Athletics and Activities Conference (JAAC) competition ran from September to October this year, with the GJIS team placed in the West Division together with SPH-LV, BIS, STL and UPHC. During the course of the season the skills of individual players improved greatly. The girls also learned a lot about defensive and offensive strategies. Every player in the squad showed strong defensive skills by sticking to their opponents during defense and positioning themselves correctly on the pitch when our team had the ball. The team should also be commended on their ability to manage their emotions and display a positive spirit. At the end of the JAAC Competition the team was in 5th place out of ten schools. This is a fantastic result for a team that really tried their best. Congratulations to the GJIS Varsity Girls Soccer Team. I am very proud of your efforts throughout the season, Girls. Once again, congratulations to the Varsity Girls Soccer Team.
