School Coordinator Message

Dear Parents,

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the love, trust, and unwavering support you have poured into your children’s learning journey this first semester. Your presence—whether in small daily moments or in our big school events —has made every milestone more meaningful. The joy we witnessed during Independence Day, our Field Trip to the Jakarta Aviary, Children’s Week, United Nations Day, Parental Talk, Mud Day, Dental Day, and the recent children’s Christmas Party was a reflection of your partnership with us. Each shared experience helped shape the children’s confidence, curiosity, and character, allowing them to grow beautifully in all areas. As the year comes to a close, the children are buzzing with excitement as they prepare to shine on stage for our Christmas Concert. Their laughter, eagerness, and courage remind us just how precious this journey is—and how blessed we are to walk it with you.

Thank you for being our constant companions, cheerleaders, and coeducators. As we bid farewell to 2025, we pray that your homes be filled with the warmth and peace of Christmas, and that 2026 brings your families renewed hope, joy, and countless moments of grace. Enjoy the holiday season, and we look forward to welcoming you back in Term 3 on January 12, 2026.

Sincerely yours,
Ms. Jackie

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.
