House System

What is SGS Houses?

SGS HOUSES are shelters for all students from all levels across all academic stages. This system will support collaborative work among students in order to build their personal, group, and community’s well-being in five ways - leadership, creativities, actions, service, and joy.

Games & Competition

This focuses on developing unity and team solidity building through various kinds of games and competitions. These may include sports, talent shows, riddles and quizzes, spelling bees, story-telling, math and science competitions, cooking classes, fashion shows, as well as arts and creativities. Each house will earn points, which will be accumulated at the end of academic year to get the house winner.

School Service & Culture Development

This aims at challenging students to develop a character of service that focuses on the school building itself. This also shapes hearts to desire to make the physical environment of the school – the outdoor and indoor areas, a beautiful experience for those who use them.

Local Community Outreach Service

This aims at fostering student awareness to local communities outside the school. Activities that can be done include fundraising, food collection, clothing, books, and used toys that are worth using to donate as well as environmental awareness campaigns, such as garbage collection around the school premises.

Weekly School Chapel Session

As part of the student and staff spiritual and character building programme, chapel session is held once a week, 45 minutes long. Starting August 2018, the chapel session will be held on Friday. This service is compulsory for all students and staff to attend. During chapel session, offering money will be collected from students. The money gained will be used to support SGS CSR programme to help those in need, who live around the School campus. Please support this program by providing your children with offering money. I encourage all of us to show generosity so that it can be an inspiration for our sons and daughters.

Homework Setting Policy

SGS views the provision of homework proportionally and rationally to students as important and positive. In addition to balancing the penetration of technological devices, the provision of proportional and rational homework will have a positive impact on children's learning progress. Homework can be set every day or according to students’ needs. The school asks parents to periodically check /ask the child if he has homework and whether he has done it. Parents can also give a schedule (time slots) for routine homework, for example directly after school or after taking a shower in the afternoon.

School Bus Service

To make it easier for parents to arrange the delivery and pick-up of their child(ren)and for the safety and comfort of their trips to and from the School, the School provides shuttle services. Currently the Shuttle Service has served Parung Panjang, Legok, BSD and Medang Lestari Housing areas. The pickup fleet is equivalent to the Ertiga, Avanza, Xenia, Luxion, Evalia, or L300, which are equipped with air conditioning and audio. Please contact the School immediately if you are interested in using this service as we have very limited number of seats.

Student Food/Diet Protocol

Parents are reguired to pay attention to the nutritional content of children's food. Please provide your children with healthy food and balanced diet to support their physical and brain activities. Healthy food is not always expensive. For example, the calorie content of tempe, tofu, and eggs turns out to be much higher than the amount of calorie contained in meat. Limit access to processed foods (eg. sausages, nuggets, etc.) and promote natural food intake instead. Children should be accustomed to eating vegetables and fruits regularly. The source of carbohydrates also needs to be varied, not only from rice but also from potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, or pasta (occasionally). Please also pay attention to the serving portion, not too much and not too little.

Lost and Found Items Corner

Students goods/equipments left at the School (eg: water bottles, lunch boxes, pencil boxes, etc.) will be put at the Lost and Found counter. Parents or pickers can immediately look for it in the containers provided. Items not collected within 30 days, will be considered as unclaimed lost and found items. At the end of each semester, these unclaimed lost and found items will be placed in front of the School and may be taken by anyone who needs them.

Love Gift Policy

Giving and sharing is a good thing and one of the values we want to impart to each student is the joy of sharing and giving. Therefore, the School DOES NOT PROHIBIT parents who want to give something to teachers and staff as long as it is done proportionally and appropriately. One of the moments that can be used by parents to give something to the teacher / staff is at the end of the academic year, when learning is celebarted. The School guarantees all SGS teachers /staff are able to be professional in this matter.

School Fee Payment Due Date & Fine

The deadline for school fee payment is 10th every month. Payments conducted after 10th will be fined Rp. 10,000, - per day. The enforcement of this fine is intended for all of us to be committed to meeting deadlines, so that the payment of school operating costs, such as teacher salaries, is not delayed. However, if you have special circumstances, (for example, if a family member must be hospitalized or a parent passes away requiring you to concentrate or to return home to your hometown, so you can not make the payment by the 10th, immediately contact the School to have the fine waved.

Annual Re-registration Payment Components

At the end of academic year, the Annual Re-registration Payment bill will appear. The components covered in this payment are Admission Form (tentative), Activities Fee, and Books and Supplies. Tuition fees in July are still to be paid by all students other than K2 students who proceed to SGS (because the Early Payment of K2 students who continue to Primary 1 SGS includes SPP in July).

Student Saving Program at School

In order to help parents prepare for the Annual Re-registration Fee, the school opens a Daily Savings Programme for each student, which can be started at the beginning of the academic year. At the end of the academic year (usually in June), the accumulated sum of student savings will be calculated. Of this amount, the school will deduct the provision of 10 (ten) percent, which will later be shared 50% to teachers and staff and 50% to support school development (eg. buying paint, replacing defective student chairs, etc.). Because the designation of the Student Savings Program is to prepare the student's Annual Re-registration Fee, the sum of student annual NET saving (after 10% deduction) will be calculated to cover the amount of the Annual Re-registration Fee. If the amount is sufficient, you do not need to add, if still remaining, then the rest will be handed out to you, and if the amount is not sufficient , then we will notify you for shortcomings.
