Colour, Create, Read: A Bookmark-Making Morning at SES Library
In a vibrant blend of creativity and curiosity, students gathered in the school library for a special activity: colouring bookmarks inspired by their favourite stories. Surrounded by shelves of books and a quiet buzz of excitement, each child picked a design that spoke to them, from magical creatures to classic literary symbols. This hands-on session was more than just art; it encouraged a love for reading while giving students a chance to personalise something they could use every day.
Laughter, concentration, and colourful pencils filled the room as imaginations ran wild. Each bookmark was as unique as the student who coloured it. It was a lovely way to combine creativity with literacy, leaving students with not only a handmade keepsake, but also a deeper connection to the world of books.

Today, we commemorate the birth of Pancasila, a moment to reflect on the fundamental values that make up Indonesia’s national identity. Pancasila, with its five guiding principles, stands as the nation’s moral compass. It promotes unity in diversity, justice, and mutual respect among all citizens. On this anniversary, let us remember the importance of tolerance and harmony in building a stronger and more inclusive society.
The spirit of Pancasila reminds us that differences are a source of strength, not division. Let us continue to uphold these values in every aspect of our daily lives.
Happy Pancasila Day - may its spirit live on in our hearts and actions.
