Bandung Newsletter July 2023 Issue 1

In this issue, get a sneak peek at the new look of our home, first day at school, and many more.

Welcome to the July edition of our Bandung newsletter! We have lots of exciting updates and stories to share this month.​
The New Look of Our Home

It’s a new day, and we are all starting a new school year. Our lobby, playground, and some other areas of the school all underwent significant improvements. We had a major renovation, and it’s looking fresh and ready to face the New Academic Year of 2023-2024.

Alongside the new look that we had for the school, our classrooms are also newly set up with teacher-made materials ready to welcome the children in the class.

Amongst all the new setup of the school, we do hope that this will bring our school into a better environment for the children to learn in

First Day of School

The first day of school is always the most enjoyable time of the entire academic year. As the new academic year began, a range of activities were prepared by the teachers to help the students settle in and adjust during the first day of classes. The Infant and Toddler classes immersed themselves in a sea dwellers’ theme and had a specific task to meet and save sea creatures.

The letter “s” was introduced to both N1 and N2 children on the first day of school. The children explored many things that start with the letter “s.”.

Everyone had a great time while improving their fine motor skills, encouraging their creativity, and learning practical life lessons through these activities. Exploring the five senses and taking a school tour to every school area were the exciting activities the K1 children did for the week. While sharing about their holiday adventure, and the phrase “I like” was the topic of conversation in the K2 class.

The first day of school went smoothly, as everyone was eager to come to school, ready to learn and explore.

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.
