Term 1 (Jan-Mar 2026) Newsletter ISMILE Permata Hijau

Back to School Greetings | First Week of School | Animal Appreciation Day | Lunar New Year Celebration | Infant and Toddler Corner | Open Houses | Field Trip | Charity Program

Welcome to the Jan-Mar 2026 edition of our Permata Hijau newsletter! We have lots of exciting updates and stories to share this month.​

Happy New Year 2026!

We warmly welcome all our students and families back to school. We hope everyone had a joyful holiday season and is refreshed for an exciting new term of learning and growth.

We would also like to celebrate that our N1 class is growing. Congratulations to our Toddler students who have been promoted to the N1 class. This is an important step in their learning journey, and we are proud of their development. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to all parents who attended the Parent Orientation Day. Your presence and partnership are very important in supporting the children’s learning experience.

In Term 3, our learning will focus on Project Work. The projects will be developed based on children’s interests and curiosity, allowing them to explore topics more deeply through discussion, investigation, and hands-on experiences. As part of this learning journey, field trips will be designed to support each class’s project theme, giving children opportunities to observe and learn from real-life experiences.

The purpose of Project Work is to encourage children to ask questions, explore ideas, and build knowledge through meaningful experiences. Through this approach, children develop important skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, and problem-solving. Project work also helps children become more confident learners as they share their ideas and discoveries with others.

We look forward to showcasing the children’s learning during our Project Work Exhibition in Term 4, where students will proudly present their projects and learning journeys.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are excited for another wonderful term of learning together!

Nafas To Install Clean Air Zones in 7 iSmile Pre-School Campuses in Indonesia

As pollution in Jakarta and many other Indonesian cities continues to get worse, Nafas has been appointed as the air quality partner for iSmile Family of Schools in Indonesia and is tasked with bringing healthy air quality to 7 campuses in Permata Hijau, Menteng, Kelapa Gading, Pantai Indah Kapuk, P. Antasari (for Alam Atelier & BazGym) and Bandung. As part of the partnership, Nafas will be providing healthy air quality management, analytics & reporting as well as leading educational programs for parents across iSmile, iShine, Alam Atelier and BazGym  to continue to raise awareness about air pollution and public health.

Over 800 students attend iSmile Family of Schools, one of the top pre-schools in Jakarta, Bandung and Bali. The dedication of iSmile administration to providing the optimal learning environment for its students extends to ensuring that healthy indoor air quality levels are always maintained. 

For their schools that already have a Clean Air Zone, Nafas successfully reduced indoor air pollution by over 80% in classrooms at the Kelapa Gading campus in April 2024.  Unhealthy indoor air quality in schools provides a sub-optimal learning environment for children and long term exposure to PM2.5 reduces concentration, focus and can impair cognitive development. Nafas even published an article about this – The Smog Effect: How Air Quality Could Be Affecting Test Scores.

Clean Air Zones by Nafas are a subscription based B2B service which provides companies with air quality diagnostics, healthy air management, data analytics and real-time reporting of indoor pollution levels. The end to end service is the first of its kind in Indonesia, and already serves over 100 clients in offices, schools, small businesses and residential locations.
