This morning, the school atmosphere is different from the usual day. Students from Nursery to Kindergarten are wearing various clothes, such as batik and traditional costume that represent culture from certain regions. Why? Because today, 22rd April 2019, we celebrate Kartini’s Day!

The teachers don’t want to be outdone by the students. They also wear regional clothes from various regions in Indonesia. The event began with a costume parade around school area, singing folk songs, story telling about R.A Kartini, and making art & craft.

Commemorate Kartini’s Day is not about wearing traditional clothes, but it is a moment to introduce culture to the next generation and preserve Indonesia’s cultural richness. Many message were conveyed through the struggle that had been built by a young Kartini during her lifetime.
