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 — 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 — with joy, creativity, and friendship.
Today, we celebrate the voices, curiosity, and courage of every child in our community. At SES, we believe children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and empowered to explore the world around them.
At SES, every celebration is a chance to learn, share, and grow together — making memories that last long after the pumpkin lights fade. 🧡✨
