 Dear JIC Family,

On Thursday, December 12, 2024, JIC proudly hosted the final Parents-Teacher Meeting (PTM) of the year. This event marks another milestone in our ongoing commitment to fostering a collaborative and transparent relationship with our students' families or guardian. As always, the PTM provided a valuable platform for parents and teachers to connect, ensuring everyone remains aligned in supporting students' academic journeys at JIC.

The PTM was thoughtfully designed to update parents on the academic progress and activities of students in both the Monash Diploma and Western Michigan programs. This included updates for new students who joined during the October 2024 intake, as well as for those continuing in advanced semesters.

Our primary objective for the PTM is to ensure parents are well-informed about their child’s development, not only in terms of academic achievements but also in understanding any challenges or difficulties they may be facing. It is an opportunity to celebrate successes, discuss growth opportunities, and align on strategies to help our students thrive in their studies and personal development.

For years, JIC has worked diligently to cultivate and maintain strong relationships with parents or guardians. This partnership is a cornerstone of our success, as it allows us to earn and uphold the trust of families who entrust us with their children’s education. We firmly believe that open communication and collaboration between JIC and student’s parent create a positive impact, not only for the institution but, most importantly, for our students' growth and success.

We were heartened by the active participation and engagement of parents and students who attended this PTM. Your presence underscores your dedication to your children’s education, and it motivates us to continuously improve the quality of the support we provide.

To our dear parents and guardians, thank you for your time, feedback, and collaboration. Your trust and partnership mean the world to us, and we are deeply grateful. To our students, keep striving for excellence, and remember that your journey is supported by a community that believes in you wholeheartedly.

We look forward to seeing you at the next PTM, where we will continue to work together for the success of our students. Here’s to a bright and promising year ahead for all of us!

Warm regards,
JIC Team

 

We are excited to share some outstanding news from Jakarta International College's Model United Nations Club! Over the weekend of October 19-21, 2024, our MUN team participated in the Beevolution MUN hosted by Binus School Serpong, and we are pleased to announce that they earned several impressive awards for their exceptional performances.
 
 
Our representatives—Daena Caitlyn Saputra, Georgia Audrey, and Joyce Ryo—truly excelled in their respective councils. Georgia, our vice leader, received the prestigious Most Outstanding Award in the WHO council. Her ability to lead discussions and respond to questions with both confidence and clarity was remarkable, demonstrating the skills that distinguished her from her peers.
 
Joyce, who participated in the UNICEF council, also made a significant impact. She earned two awards: the Best Position Paper and an Honorable Mention. Her strong research skills and ability to engage effectively with fellow delegates set her apart in her discussions.
 
Daena, MUN club leader, participated in the UNHCR council and achieved two top awards: the Best Position Paper and the Best Delegate award, which is the highest honor in her council. Her hard work and dedication were evident as she successfully navigated the complexities of the council discussions while also coaching her team members to excel in MUN.
 
We are incredibly proud of their achievements, having brought home a total of five awards! This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy for their first competition, reflecting their determination and teamwork. We believe this is just the beginning of even greater successes for our MUN Club.
 
Established in 2024, the MUN Club is a recent addition to our lineup of student organizations at JIC. Although it has just begun, the determination and success of its members are truly commendable.
 
Thank you, and stay tuned for more updates!

The end of the year is always a special time, and at Jakarta International College (JIC), it’s a moment to come together, celebrate, and create lasting memories. This year, we closed 2024 with a bang at our highly anticipated End of Year Party! Organized by the JIC Student Association, the event was a vibrant celebration of community, talent, and togetherness, bringing students, parents, and staff together for an unforgettable evening.

Held on Thursday, December 12, 2024, from 4 PM to 8 PM, the party took place on the stunning 22nd floor of the Jakarta International Tower. With breathtaking views of the city as our backdrop, the event was filled with energy, excitement, and joy. From live performances to interactive games, every moment was packed with fun and connection.

One of the highlights of the night was the stage performances by The Next Door Crew (JIC Dance Club) and The Mavis (JIC Music Club). Their incredible talent and energy had the crowd cheering and dancing along. The performances truly showcased the creativity and passion of JIC students, leaving everyone in awe.

The party wasn’t just about performances. Our lively MC kept the atmosphere buzzing with interactive games, while the karaoke session gave students a chance to express themselves and sing their hearts out. Laughter and excitement filled the room as everyone joined in the fun.

A special tradition that warmed everyone’s hearts was “Mr. Postman.” Students had the opportunity to write anonymous messages to their friends or classmates, which were delivered during the event along with small gifts. This simple yet thoughtful gesture brought smiles, happy tears, and moments of connection, reminding everyone of the joy of giving and appreciation.

This year’s End of Year Party was even more special because it coincided with the Parents Teacher Meeting for students in the Monash College Diploma and American Degree Program. Many parents stayed for the festivities, getting a firsthand look at the vibrant and dynamic student life at JIC. It was a wonderful opportunity to share the JIC experience with families and show them what makes our community so unique.

The timing of the event couldn’t have been better—it came right after exams, giving students a much-needed chance to relax and celebrate their hard work. It was a perfect way to end the year, filled with laughter, smiles, and the strong sense of community that defines JIC.

The event’s success was all thanks to the hard work and dedication of the organizing committee, led by Carl Andersen Suryadi. Carl, who is preparing to graduate from the MUFY program, shared his thoughts on the event:

"It was an honor to lead the End of Year Party 2024, and I’m very happy to see that everyone enjoyed the event. I want to extend my gratitude to the entire committee and the staff at JIC for their support and hard work. A special thank you to Ms. Kiandra Putri Susanto and Ms. Din Imaniarti Hasnah for making this event possible."

Carl also shared his hopes for the next generation of student leaders, expressing confidence that future events will be even more spectacular. His words reflect the strong sense of teamwork and community that makes JIC such a special place.

As we say goodbye to 2024, we’re filled with gratitude for the memories created and the bonds strengthened during this celebration. To everyone who joined us, thank you for making the End of Year Party so memorable. Your energy and enthusiasm are what make JIC truly shine.

Here’s to more celebrations, laughter, and shared moments in the year ahead. See you at our next event!

With gratitude,
The JIC Team

From October 7 to 9, 2024, Jakarta International College welcomed a new group of students to our campus, and we couldn’t be more excited! This is a great time for everyone involved, and we’re eager to start this journey together.
 
JIC orientation for the new Monash College Diploma and WMU program students went really well. We introduced them to what life is like at JIC, covering important rules and expectations to help them settle in. We wanted to not just share information but also inspire them to make the most of their time here.
 
The first day kicked off with welcoming remarks from our Marketing Director, Ms. Kiandra Putri Susanto, followed by an introduction from our Academic Director, Mrs. Fransisca Laij, and an academic orientation led by Mr. David Henderson, the MUFY Coordinator. During lunch, students and parents enjoyed performances from The Mavis, JIC and UNIJI music club, and Next Door Crew, JIC and Uniji dance clubs, which added a fun atmosphere to the day.
 
Throughout the orientation, various student clubs set up booths for new students to explore extracurricular activities and connect with others who share their interests. This was a great way to build community right from the start.
 
On the second day, Monash College Diploma students had the chance to meet with representatives from Monash University in Australia and Malaysia. This session was really valuable for both students and parents, as they learned what to expect while studying at Monash. The reps shared tips on preparing for life and academics in Australia, helping everyone feel more confident about their upcoming experience. Among those present were Ms. Stephanie Hah, the Student Recruitment Manager from Monash Business School, Mr. Robert Ciofi from the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, and Ms. Christine Putri, the representative from Monash University Malaysia.
 
The third day was all about having fun! We organized a treasure hunt around the campus with five different games. It was a fantastic way for students to connect and enjoy themselves while building friendships. The winning team even received MAP vouchers, adding a little friendly competition to the mix.
 
We want to thank all the students and parents who joined us for these three days of orientation. Your enthusiasm really made the event special. We wish you all the best in your studies at JIC, and we can’t wait to share more updates with you soon!
