Our Halloween celebration brought creativity, laughter, and imagination to life! From colourful costumes to exciting activities, students enjoyed a day filled with festive spirit and teamwork.
At Surabaya European School, our young learners are building strong foundations in spelling and writing β one word at a time. Through guided practice and meaningful reflection, students develop not only accuracy and fluency, but also the confidence to express their thoughts clearly and creatively.
Costumes, smiles, and spooky surprises filled the air as our students celebrated Halloween in true SES fashion β with joy, creativity, and friendship.
Your hard work, critical thinking, teamwork, and dedication have truly shone throughout the competition. Representing SES on an international stage is no small feat, and youβve demonstrated resilience, confidence, and a passion for learning every step of the way.
