On February 10, 2025, President School came alive with vibrant colors, traditional music, and joyful performances to celebrate Chinese New Year. The event was a heartwarming celebration of culture, unity, and mutual respect, attended by the entire President School community, from preschoolers to senior high school students.
The celebration began with an opening speech by Mrs. Justin Endramukti, Treasurer of the President University Foundation (YPUP), followed by a warm welcome from Prof. Dr. Jony Oktavian Haryanto, Secretary of YPUP. Their presence and support highlighted the importance of cultural appreciation in shaping inclusive education.
This year’s Chinese New Year celebration was truly special, featuring performances from students of all levels—President School Nature & Character (PSNC), Kindergarten (TK), Elementary School (SD), Junior High School (SMP), and Senior High School (SMA). Each performance reflected the students’ enthusiasm and creativity, showcasing various elements of Chinese culture in a fun and engaging way.
One of the most anticipated moments of the event was the Barongsai (lion dance) performance. The energetic and colorful dance mesmerized the audience, especially the young learners from TK Presiden, who watched in awe and excitement. The Barongsai is not only a symbol of luck and prosperity but also a powerful way to introduce children to diverse traditions from an early age.
At TK Presiden, cultural celebrations like Chinese New Year are more than just events—they are opportunities to instill values of tolerance, respect, and global understanding. By engaging children in such meaningful activities, TK Presiden nurtures their character and helps them grow into empathetic and open-minded individuals.
This celebration reflects President School’s commitment to promoting multicultural values and fostering a learning environment where every student feels seen, respected, and inspired.
