Term 2 (Apr-Jun 2026) Newsletter ISMILE Permata Hijau

Easter Celebration | Kartini Day | Earth Day | Project Work | World Forum Conference | Mother's Day | GYMFEST | Open House | Infant & Toddler Corner | Year End & Graduation

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

What better opportunity to reroot and know our purpose than Easter? It’s a time where we can revisit the message of who saves us, and channel this message to the children. We did this through a short skit with Ms. Cindy and Coach Octa acting as Jesus carrying the cross. Ms. Cindy did an object lesson with washable markers and bleach to help the children understand how Jesus washed away our sins. The children’s eyes lit up as they saw the stains were washed away. Although the concept of salvation seems too out of reach to explain to the younger ones, a simple object lesson like this simplified it and made the crucial parts simple enough to understand. We hope the children can remember this moment through their journey of faith, strengthening their understanding of how much Jesus loves us.

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.
