Yup, we have been a big family here. We share each other. We have done many things together. We learn how to live, face the chalenges in life, keep struggling from many obstacles, and so on. Well, let us tell you all about one of program that held by school since we begin our journey here.

Learning To Live Program or we called as L2L Program

It is divided into 4 components. They are :

1.       Creativity and Art

We have some clubs that particularly made to explore the creativity and art side. Here they are…..

      Dance Club

It introduces to us about traditional dance and the modern one. Students are encouraged to develop their kinestetic skills here.

      Choir

It is the best place for the music lovers to show their ability at singing or playing musical instruments.

      ICT Club

Teacher teaches us to think creatively by technology. We express our self by combining the art and technology nowadays. In this club, we learn how to make some animations, doing graphics editing, make the website, make the pascal program, and so on.

      Science Club

One of favourite activities here is make the recycle. Students collect some plastics, cans, papers, boxes, leaves and other to be recycled and finally they could create useful things, for examples the curtain, tissue box, plastic for covering books, and stationary box.

      Theater Club

Although this club is the new one, but students are very interested and they perform the best of their drama skill. They acts well and create many good ideas of the story.

      English Club

Which one do you want to choose? Be a newscaster, debater, story teller, or the one whoexpert in speech? Well, English club is the place for student to practise their ability in those kind of talent.

      Art Club

To tell you the truth, this club has create many unieque and wonderful creativity things. So, we do not only learn to draw or paint.  Teacher encourages students to develop their skill by teaching the basic part of art until the complicated one to us.

2.       Personal Well-Being

In this area, we learn how to maintain our body healthy. Apart from doing sport activities, controlling our internal and external environment health is the way for us to support this. However, we always do gymnastic and other sport activity on Saturday so that our body condition will be constant.

I am Andri. My complete name is Andri Pramono. In SMAN Sumatera Selatan(Sampoerna Academy) I am the ICT teacher.  Besides teaching in class, principal gives me duty to manage and develop ICT at school including network system, management system and give additional skill for student about ICT depend on their daily life. It’s change and challenge for me because every student comes from various region and different culture especially their computer skill and facilities, besides that, this school need a lot of ICT development because the infrastructure is still in progress.

Actually I am only a teacher, but in here I must develop the system and network, I am so glad with this challenge. It makes me develop myself, every people must change to be better and always improve to be better also.

In ICT School Club I give student material about Graphics, because I am an ICT user whose GUI (Graphics User Interface) talent, if talk about TUI (Text User Interface), I am just learning about programming according to the Computer Olympiad topic for our student.

Before I join with Sampoerna Academy, I was in SMAN 2 Sekayu as ICT teacher and ICT team also. I make school web site http://sman2sekayu.sch.id with open source program. I am interested with Open Source Linux, CMS, etc. If we can use legal software without spending our money … why not?! Even though it’s easier to apply the licensed-software. The problem in this country is everyone only knows computer with windows without knowing it’s legal or illegal. So, my hope for our student is using legal software, respect the other creation.

I’m Muslich. I’m from Boyolali, Central Java. I was graduated from Post-Graduate Program of the Center for Religious and Cross-Cultural Studies (CRCS) Gadjah Mada University (UGM) Yogyakarta. I’m teaching both Religion and Arabic. I also become the House Master in this amazing school. My whole family; my wife (Maria Ulfah) and my son (Ahmad Hasan Nur)and I stay in dormitory together with the students. It is very grateful to get the chance to share my experiences and knowledge with all of students who come from a diverse background. And yes, I do believe that together we can make it happen!

By using Taxonomy’s Bloom theory, I am teaching both Religion and Arabic for the students begin from the step of remembering – classifying - analysing – and finally creating. I am encouraging the students to dig their understanding comprehensively by avoiding the narrow minded perspective. They will become the an active subject of life and not only a passive object of it. My motto is “كلّف نفسك ولاتدلع”. Thanks to my Lord, thanks to all.
