 A few words from us …..

How time flies!

June was a tough month for everybody especially E
6 students, when they had to prepare themselves for their final
semestral assessment and national examinations. Passing the
exam is one main goal but more importantly is that E 6 students
have to prepare themselves for more challenges ahead
academically and socially. In this edition we look at the
farewell for Elementary 6 and graduation ceremony for the
Kindergarten students to celebrate their moving to Elementary
and Junior High School respectively.
July, was tiring, but fun and exciting for POS staff.
We moved from our small, familiar, school in KH Dahlan to our
bigger, brighter premises on Jl. Jend. Besar A.H. Nasution No.
88A(d/h Tritura).
In August, POS proved itself by celebrating
Independence day in style.
In this edition you can find out about all that and much,
much more! You can even find out about the man who
started this all- Mr. Amrin Susilo Halim.

TO an even BIGGER, BRIGHTER FUTURE!

Happy Independence Day!

From the Periodical Editorial Team.

 From our Centre Director,
Mme Dewi. S.Pd
Educating is not an easy thing to do.
However, educating plays the most
important role in someone's life. Anyone
can become a teacher but not everybody
can become an educator.
“No action, nothing happens. When you
take action, miracles happen”.
And, they happen at Prime One School.
Officially POS started to operate on the
16th of July, 2004. There were only about
50 students altogether at that time. Due
to solid team work and dedication, POS
has kept growing until today there are as
many as 544 students in Pre-School up to
Junior High. What an amazing growth!
Therefore, I personally would like to
Mme Dewi (Centre) with
POS’ teachers
IF you don't know POS,
you don't know the best
school!
2
congratulate and thank principals,
teachers and all staff at POS as all of
them have dedicated themselves
professionally in teaching and educating
the students.
Importantly, I have noticed POS
students' marvelous progress as there is a
strong and solid support and cooperation
between school, parents and students.
Thank you, POS parents and students!
As long as we can maintain this
commitment, I believe POS students
will get the best education they deserve
to get.
In gratitude,
Mme Dewi, S.Pd,
Centre Director
Profile:
Mr. Amrin Susilo Halim
Do you know POS' most prominent member?

If you don't, maybe it's

because he prefers to
work 'backstage'. Now
let's get acquainted
with him.
Mr. Amrin Susilo
Halim is the chief of the
POS Foundation. Since
he was a child, he was
such an inquisitive boy
that he would search for
answers to anything
relentlessly. That was
what makes him what
he is now.
Do you know how many businesses he handles?
- Director of PT. Majaria Kencana Sakti
- Main Distributor of electronics ( Sanyo, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Electrolux,
Technogas, Philips, General, LaGermania, Ariston
- The Commissioner of WIRA security
- The Chairman of PT. Bintang Jaya Sakti Kencana
- The Chairman of Saint Andrew
- The Chairman of IBBI and Neo Petro School Foundation
Wow!!!
He is also involved in some organisations:
- Director of Indonesia China Board
- Secretary of International Pendidikan Indonesia Tiong Hua ( Inti )

Pak Amrin said, on one occasion:

“Since I founded a school in 1996, I held many discussions and talks with
the experts in education, local and foreign experienced teachers who have inspired
me a lot to create quality schools in Medan so that it can result in knowledgeable,

3
independent, confident, well-mannered, creative, and tough human resources.”
For sure, it costs a lot. For a quality education we have to provide a minimum of
3 quality learning resources, namely:
1. Human resources including founder's board, education consultants,
principals, subject coordinators, student consultant staff, canteen staff,
securities, responsible drivers, cleaning service staff.
2. Quality media resources such as : curriculum, books, language lab,
computer lab, science lab, library, internet, art, and music , LCD
projector, Audio Visual programme and teaching aids.
3. Environmental resources: representative school building, convenient
and comfortable classrooms, sports equipment and playground.
“We have to have a clear school mission and vision, management system, working
structure and teaching method based on local culture so we can have local wisdom,
but global mind.” he says convincingly.
WOW ! ( for the second time ) Don't you see, how big his concern towards
education and educating people is?
Hmmm , …….. I want to be like him one day…

Profil Bapak Amrin Susilo Halim

Ta h u k a h k a m u t e n t a n g
seseorang yang paling penting
di Prime One School? Ayo,
berkenalan dengan Mr. Amrin
Susilo Halim, ketua yayasan
POS. Sejak kecil beliau
mempunyai rasa ingin tahu
yang besar tentang segala hal.
Hal tersebutlah yang mungkin
menjadikan beliau seperti
sekarang ini.

Sekarang ini beliau menangani banyak hal: menjadi direktur PT. Majaria
Kencana Sakti, distributor utama Sanyo, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Electrolux,
Teknogas, Phillips, General, LaGermania, Ariston, komisaris WIRA Security,
ketua PT. Bintang Jaya Sakti Kencana, ketua yayasan pendidikan IBBI, Neo
Petro dan Saint Andrew, direktur mesin elektronik lembaga Indonesia China,
dan sekretaris pendidikan Indonesia Tionghua (INTI).
“Sejak saya mendirikan sekolah pada tahun 1996, saya selalu berdiskusi dengan

4
para ahli pendidikan, guru-guru
dalam dan luar negeri yang
berpengalaman. Mereka telah
menginspirasi saya untuk
menciptakan sekolah yang
berkualitas di Medan yang akan
menghasilkan individu-individu
yang berpengetahuan, mandiri,
percaya diri, kreatif, tangguh dan
berbudi luhur,” katanya dalam suatu
kesempatan.
Tentu saja, pembangunan sekolah
yang berkualitas membutuhkan
banyak biaya. Menurut beliau
dibutuhkan tiga sumber yang
penting untuk pendidikan
berkualitas:
1) Sumber daya manusia,
termasuk yayasan, konsultan
pendidikan, direktur, kepala sekolah,
koordinator mata pelajaran, staff
konsultan untuk siswa, staff kantin,
keamanan supir, petugas kebersihan.
2) Sumber media yang
berkualitas: kurikulum, buku,
laboratorium bahasa dan komputer,
perpustakaan, internet, ruang seni
5
dan musik, LSC, program audio-
visual, alat peraga.
3) Sumber lingkungan:
bangunan yang representatif, kelas
yang nyaman, peralatan sport dan
tempat bermain.
“Kita harus memiliki visi-misi sekolah
yang jelas, sistim manajemen, struktur
dan metode mengajar berdasarkan
budaya kita sehingga, kita memiliki
kebijaksanaan yang sesuai dengan akar
dimana kita tumbuh, dengan pemikiran
yang global,” beliau menambahkan.
Hmmm…. Beliau sangat perhatian
terhadap pendidikan dan bagaimana
mendidik dengan cara yang terbaik.
Saya ingin menjadi seperti beliau suatu
hari nanti.

I truly believe that Prime One captured the spirit of '45 in their Independence
celebrations this year.
Serious, erect, students dressed immaculately of all different races, skin colours
and religions saluted the flag and prayed together underneath the hot sun,
followed by a playful, joyous celebration of the day.
Just take a look and you'll be jealous if you didn't join!

PLAYGROUP AND KINDERGARTEN

It is a wonderful start for me as a Pre-School principal to see so many children

from diverse religions, cultures and traditions coming to Prime One School.
Their eagerness to learn and play shows that the children have adjusted well. Let
this be a challenge for me to mould the children to become independent learners.
For that is what education is all about.
Yours Truly,
Ms. Meliana, SE
Principal of Pre-School

18
PG Mushroom
Teachers: Ms. Melda and Ms. Lily

Now our students have settled down and begun to socialize

with their friends.What surprises us is that this is their first
school and yet they can do a lot of things by themselves.
Thanks for trusting us as your teachers.
Thank you children, we love you all.

19
PG Cactus
Teachers: Ms. Yuyu and Ms. Riris

Thankfully, the students of PG cactus have settled

down.They like studying and yet, going to the playground as

20
Class: PG Bonsai
Teachers: Ms. Fenny and Ms. Tetty

“Row, row, row your boat,

Gently own the stream
IF you see a crocodile,
Don't forget to SCREAM
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAH!!”

Do you know which PG class

can scream the loudest?
Yes, we are Bonsai!
The most beautiful, smart and
cute class.
We love to sing all the time. But
we are good at studying too.
Brothers and sisters, be careful if
you are standing beside PG
Bonsai students, because we are
small, just like our class name
( he, he!)
PG Bonsai, YESS!

21
K1 Sakura
Teachers: Ms. Chelsia and Ms. Elsa

K1 Sakura students are very cute and

energetic. They are able to follow the
class rules well. They can also
socialize with their friends,
classmates and teachers.

K2 Whale
Teacher: Ms. Susan
and Ms. Amy

K2 Whale is the biggest of all

the K2 classes. All of our
students have big brains. we mean
they are all very smart.
Why?
Well, because they learnt to write
their own complete names and
the name of our class “w-h-a-l-e”
in only one week. we are very
proud of them.
Some of them performed a fun
dance at Pardede Hall. They
looked cute and happy.
We plan to train them to read and
write some sentences.
It will be a great miracle to see it
ourselves.

22
Dolphin (Kindergarten 2)
Teachers: Ms. Silvia and Ms. Sri

K2 Dolphin students interact and socialize easily with teachers and

peers. They are keen on trying to learn new things. K2 Dolphin
students are known as active, energetic and creative students. They
can work very well in a team.

be in the family.
We love you, K2 Octopus.

24
K1 Tulip Most of the students in this class
Teachers: Ms. Rofina & Ms. Any are very active, but they are
starting to listen and obey the
teacher.

During the first days of

school, some of the
students found it difficult
to adapt because it was a
new environment for
them. But after some
time, they can adapt well.
They have socialized very
well among students, as
well as with the teachers.
Some of them are
independent, which makes us
feel very proud. For
us, our students are really
precious and we love
teaching them.

25
K2 Clownfish
Teachers: Ms. Rosmina & Ms. Sri

K2 Clownfish students are very loveable. Like all children, they are playful
too. Still they understand when to be serious and when to play. What I love
the most is that they know how to take care of their classroom. Clownfish
loves their teachers and for sure we love them too. Once you know them,
you will not get enough of them.

Warmest Greetings,
It is my pleasure to say hello to you again through our periodical. A special
welcome to POS' extended family this school year!
Seeing the new students fitting in with all of us here at POS is such a joy
especially when I see them trying their best to keep communicating in English.
Time has moved so fast, the first monthly assessment in August, first monthly

Elementary 1: Amazon
Homeroom: Ms. Rika

Amazon class is an amazing class where you can see various students with
different personalities. On their first day of school, most Amazons could adapt
well, but some were still crying. Come the second week, everything was running
well. They have learnt to be polite and disciplined, such as: always greets the
teacher, position their chairs before they go home, and pray before eating and
starting the lesson.

Thames
Homeroom: Ms. Lena

“River Thames, River Thames!”

English: We learn a lot! Things in the

classroom; At the Park, and Family that goes
together in Social Studies.
Their English is getting better they can't
stop talking now (!).

Math: We learnt about addition; Number

Bonds; Number Words from one to ten.
Science: We learnt about ‘Parts of the Body’
and ‘Sense of Order’.

Active, cute, fast-talking, that's Thames!

Loch Ness (Elementary 2)

Homeroom: Ms. Rosenni

Lake Toba (Elementary Two)

Homeroom: Ms. Nike

E2 Lake Toba students enthusiastically went to school

on their first day. They were surprised with their new
building and class. Some of them were still unfamiliar
with the class situation but it was only for a few days.

They love English class. They've learnt about “Things

we wear” and “Wishes”. Everybody shared their
wishes.
In Math, they learnt numbers up to 1000. They enjoyed
counting

Mediterranean (Elementary

Homeroom: Ms. Tuty

My students have begun to

enjoy the lessons taught. They
enjoy doing exercises as well.

Himalaya (Elementary 5)
Homeroom: Ms. Laurent

Having a large size of classroom is such an

have many students with different
characteristics and creative skills.
This month, we have learnt about descriptive
poems and how to explain what blue is…
“Blue is peace!”
“Blue is E5!”
“Blue is Himalaya”
Active, creative and talented are the perfect
words to describe Himalaya class.
WE ARE… WE ARE.. E5 Himalayaaaaa!!!

Congratulations Junior High Students,
All of you did really well during Indonesian
Independence Day!

You have proven that you are a solid team. Thank you
to Mr. Budi, Mr. Andreas Tan, Mr. Ahmad Fauzi, Ms.
Chelsia and Ms. Nike who have trained them so far.

Junior High Students, you have done pretty well and

you need to remember to concentrate, keep focusing
and revising your lessons as well, because:

“You can have more, be more and do more because

you can change the person you are.”

“One enemy is too many, thousands of friends are not

enough.”

Always be positive and say the words:

“I like myself”
“I can do it!”
You know the best for yourselves.
Keep up the good work and good luck!

Warm regards,

Ninie, ST. MBA

Thomas Alpha Edison (Junior High One)
Homeroom: Mr. Alfian

My class is quite big and full of handsome and

beautiful students (and of course a handsome
teacher!?!) Not only that, they also like to
cooperate with each other in studying and cleaning
their class.
As a result, they received the tidiest class in August.
Until today they are still working hard to achieve
highest score for every subject.

3 Things about my Class, Albert Einstein

(Junior High One)
Homeroom: Mr. Doddy

1. They have beautiful smiles and eager

faces, especially in the morning.
2. They need to learn to be more
independent and less spoilt; something
they like to show-off by being noisy
and talkative. This is something we
will work on.
3. They are smart but they need to be
more self-confident.

33
Junior High 2: Mahatma Gandhi
Homeroom: Ms. Ivanawaty

Multi-characters and behaviour

A class of 30 students
Healthy, creative and self-confident teens you
are
Agility and Vivacity always fills the air
Too concerning though, you …
Mischievously act without thinking
Advice for your own sake being neglected

Grow up, grow up, students!

Abolish your wrong attitudes now!
Nurture kindness, politeness and your
sense of belonging
Don't blame each other or spoil yourself
Honesty, Harmony and Wisdom
….Remember?
Is what makes a real Mahatma Gandhi

From the bottom of my heart,

Your homeroom teacher.

COMPOSITION OF THE MONTH
My Rebellious Brother

Hi, I am Shioko. I have a brother called Shin. He is now 22

years old. I have a short story about him. It happened 15
years ago when he was only 17 years old. He used to be a very
popular student at school. He was handsome, cool and
intelligent, but rebellious.

He had a very cool class where all the students were just as
rebellious, but even they were afraid of him. Sometimes, they'd
go to other schools and fought. They were known as “number 1”
in the high-school world, because my brother (the head of the
class) was the best student in the school for almost 3 years even
though he didn't study. All he did was fighting, skipping and
sleeping.

One day, there was a call from school. The school told my
father that Shin had fought and hurt the principal's son. So,
when my brother arrived home, father immediately hit him with
a steel bar.
After the punishment was done, he said to his father: “All you
know is to hit, have you ever thought why I'm like this? Have
you?”

From that day on, they didn't talk or even look at each other.
When father came, brother Shin would go away. I couldn't
stand this horrible situation, so I asked my brother.
“Shin, actually you weren't wrong, were you? I know there
must be something that forced you to fight with the principal's
son.”
“Shioko, thank you for understanding me, but if I tell father he
will say that I have a lot of excuses.”

After we talked for a long time, he finally promised that he
would explain to father. So, he told father to come to a café at
7 O' clock. When mother, borther and I had arrived there,
father was still on the way. Then father phoned brother, they
talked and talked. Mother and I were very curious. Suddenly,
brother threw his cell phone and ran away. Mother and I were
surprised, so we also ran after him. And what we saw was
father. He had crashed and was lying down in the street,
covered in blood.

Before he died, he said: “Shin, I've thought about it. You were
rebellious because of me. I' was the one that has made this
family suffer. From now on, you all will live peacefully without
a father like me. I just have one request. Take care of your
mother and your sister. Remember! We live not to suffer and we
die not to get out of suffering.”

Then he closed his eyes forever. We were very sad and we cried,
but it was too late. We would never see him again. So from this
accident I understood that no father hates his own children.
Now, Shin and I work at our father's company. Shin is the
president of the company and I am the director. We live
happily with father as our most precious memory.

What does R. A. Kartini Mean to Me?
Every 21st of April we remember the day R. A. Kartini
was born. Here are the columns for the students who want
to share a few words.
Vivi writes: “R.A. Kartini is a hero. For me, she is a
brave woman. Because of her, I can study many things.
Without her, I think we would still be very stupid. So, I
'm very thankful because of everything she had done for us.”
For Tiffany, Kartini day means all the girls can study
just the same as the boys. The girls not only stay at home
and cook but also get the right so the position between boys
and girls is the same.

 th
Performance at Kreasi Anak on Sunday, the 5 of
August, 2007 at Pardede Hall, Medan.

At 8am on Sunday in August, Prime One School was

abuzz with activity, teachers going from child to child
applying make-up and helping with costumes, students
wearing Batak traditional costume, students wearing funky
outfits with hair in a tall ponytail, and small Kindergarten
girls and boys, waving pom-poms.

Beautiful, trendy girls and handsome, cool boys from

Elementary 5 and 6 strut their stuff to the sounds of Coco
Lee. The audience were amazed how well our kids could
move - and how fast too! Cool.

50
 Students of Elementary 5 and Junior High One
performed the Tor-Tor, a traditional Batak dance,
wearing traditional costumes.

Kindergarten pupils performed their 'fun- dance'- a cute

dance using pom-poms. These small kids from
Kindergarten didn't miss a step and really enjoyed their
performance, while wowing the audience with their smart
moves.

 Fieldtrip to Astra International
According to Meliana SE, Principal of Pre-School,
the purpose of the field trip was to introduce
students to the concept of healthy life by creating
clean environment starting from early age. So,
instead of sitting still and studying theories in the
classroom, the students would be given
opportunity to explore their learning through
outdoor activities.

52
At ASTRA International – ISUZU, students
were demonstratively trained to dispose
rubbish in the rubbish bin through singing.
They sang, danced and clapped happily as
they moved along with the songs. When it
came to ball–sorting game and the host asked
for students' participation, all of them
voluntarily raised their hands. All Prime One
School students were indeed very confident
and cheerful.

53
 That day, all Kindergarten 2 students of Prime One
School went home happily. Josh Vincent, one of the
students, stated that he was very happy with the field
trip. He had learned not to litter and promised to keep
his school always clean and tidy. Who says that
learning means you have to stick in your classroom
all the time?
