Dear JIC Family,

On May 8th, 2024, we had the pleasure of hosting Ms Jo Mithen, the Chief Executive Officer of Monash College Melbourne, at our campus. This visit represents another fruitful step in our longstanding partnership with Monash College as the exclusive provider of Monash College programs in Indonesia.

During Ms. Jo Mithen's visit, our team engaged in productive discussions about the ongoing collaboration between Monash College and JIC, exploring future opportunities for partnership growth. Ms. Jo Mithen also shared a brief message commending the achievements of JIC students at Monash University, highlighting their dedication and success.

Additionally, we had the privilege of showcasing our new campus to Ms. Jo Mithen during a guided tour led by our CEO and founder, Ms. Wenny Susanto.

Since 2002, JIC has been the official partner of Monash College Melbourne, offering the renowned Monash College curriculum in Indonesia. Over the years, we have facilitated the transition of thousands of students from JIC to Monash University campuses in Melbourne and Malaysia, providing them with a comprehensive preparation for their academic journey abroad. Our students are guaranteed entry to Monash University, making JIC a preferred choice for those aspiring to pursue higher education at this prestigious institution.

We extend our gratitude to Ms. Jo Mithen for her visit and look forward to welcoming her again on her next trip to Indonesia.

Thank you for your continued support, and we anticipate seeing you at JIC soon.

Best regards,

We’re excited to share an inspiring story that recently unfolded within our JIC community. Today, we had the honor of receiving a heartfelt testimony from Mrs. Christia, the proud mother of Gabriel Pratanggakara, an exceptional student enrolled in our Diploma of IT program with a specialization in Computer Science.

Gabriel's journey with JIC began in June 2023, following his successful completion of the International Baccalaureate program at Binus School Simprug. His academic path is set to take him to Melbourne in 2024, where he will continue his studies at either Monash University or University of Melbourne.

During our conversation with Mrs. Christia, she shared the reasons behind choosing JIC for Gabriel's education. Among the many factors, the strategic location of JIC in Jakarta stood out as a key advantage. This location allows Gabriel to stay in Jakarta before he transitioned to Melbourne, offering convenience and savings in terms of tuition fees, living expenses, and time.

Furthermore, Mrs. Christia expressed her appreciation for the informative pre-departure briefing conducted by JIC’s international placement team and Monash University representatives. This briefing provided invaluable insights into the transfer process, ensuring a seamless transition for Gabriel and peace of mind for his family.

Looking ahead, Gabriel is poised to pursue his passion for Computer Science in Melbourne, building upon the strong foundation he has developed at JIC.

We extend our warmest wishes to Mrs. Christia and Gabriel, anticipating their continued success and growth in their future endeavors.

As we celebrate Gabriel's journey, we also eagerly await his return to Indonesia, where we hope to witness his accomplishments first-hand.

Thank you for your continuous support. We look forward to sharing more success stories with you in the future.

 

See you soon at JIC

Dear JIC Family,

We hope this message finds you well. On the delightful occasion of Kartini Day, which we celebrated together on April 25, 2024, our JIC students showcased the vibrant diversity of Indonesia's culture by adorning themselves in traditional attire. It was heartening to see the campus alive with the colors and patterns of Batik, the elegance of Kebaya, and other traditional clothing styles. 

The spirit of unity and celebration filled the air as students mingled, sharing stories and insights into the rich heritage behind their attire. We were thrilled to witness everyone immerse themselves in the festivities, embracing the beauty of our cultural tapestry. 

Amidst the joyous festivities, we held a friendly competition where students had the opportunity to showcase their traditional outfits. We are pleased to announce Caroline Gracia from the MUFY Program and Shalsabella Floranida from the Diploma of Business Program as the winners of this special contest. Congratulations to them for their delightful victory!

Here at JIC, we believe that celebrating joyous occasions with students is important to building good relationships between students and also to faculty members. Kartini Day is just one of the many celebrations and events we have had at JIC, as we believe that celebrating joyous moments together gives students great memories that motivate them to do great in their future and their studies. 

 

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the students who participated, adding their unique touch to this memorable day. We look forward to many more celebrations and moments of togetherness in the future.

 

Thank you for being a part of our vibrant JIC community, and we eagerly anticipate seeing you at our next update.

 

Dear JIC Family,

We are thrilled to introduce the vibrant and talented new generation of our Pi Kappa Delta Debate team. For those unfamiliar, Pi Kappa Delta is a prestigious Forensics Honor Society that has been a cornerstone for undergraduate university students and a guiding light for professional speech and debate coaches since its inception in Pennsylvania in 1913. Remarkably, JIC stands as the sole chapter of Pi Kappa Delta in Jakarta and across Indonesia, a testament to our dedication to fostering excellence in speech and debate.

At the helm of our Debate team, we have students leading students, crafting an environment of learning and growth that extends beyond the confines of our campus. Our team has orchestrated successful competitions not only within Jakarta but also on a broader scale, reaching students far and wide. Our most recent competition, held in February 2023, showcased the prowess and dedication of our debaters, setting the stage for the upcoming competition slated for the middle of 2024.

With the departure of our former president, Sean Hartono, after graduation, we proudly pass the baton of leadership to Rebecca Ferren, a dynamic and accomplished Diploma of Arts part 2 student. Ferren not only boasts a wealth of experience in debate but has also left her mark on various competitions, including the esteemed World Scholar’s Cup hosted by Yale University. This international academic program draws over 15,000 students from across 65 countries annually, and Ferren's participation, spanning three years and culminating in the Global round, reflects her dedication and caliber as a debater.

Joining Ferren are other outstanding scholars, hailing from diverse backgrounds within our Australian Degree Program and American Degree Program, including former World Scholar’s Cup participants and literature enthusiasts. Their collective passion for debate and intellectual rigor fuels our team's pursuit of excellence.

As we welcome this new cohort of talented individuals into our fold, we eagerly anticipate the heights they will reach and the milestones they will achieve. Here's to the continued success and growth of our Pi Kappa Delta Debate Team!

Stay tuned for more updates,
