SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
1. Legal Education Seminar at UBAYA
All Lower Secondary students of Little Sun School participated in a legal educational seminar at the Universitas Surabaya (UBAYA) to gain a deeper understanding of basic legal knowledge. During the first session, our students learn about different types of laws and the consequences of committing crimes, with a special focus on the impact of bullying in schools. In the second session, our students observed a court simulation (trial court), allowing them to experience what a real courtroom is like, how judges make decisions, and to understand the emotional and social impacts on victims and other parties involved. The third session included a campus tour, where our students explored UBAYA’s facilities, learned about various faculties, and enjoyed lunch together at the campus cafeteria.
Through this visit, we hope that our students will gain valuable awareness of legal responsibilities, empathy for others, and a better understanding of higher education environments. This experience is expected to encourage students to become more responsible, law-abiding, and respectful individuals in society.
2. Chinese Got Talent
Every year in February, Little Sun School – Lower Secondary organizes Chinese Got Talent, a special talent competition that provides our students with a platform to showcase their abilities and creativity in Chinese arts and performance.
In this event, our students demonstrate a wide range of talents such as Wushu (武术), Chinese drumming (打鼓), Chinese calligraphy (写书法), poetry recitation (朗诵), singing (唱歌), traditional Chinese dance (中国舞蹈), and along with many other performances. Through this competition, our students are encouraged to build confidence, improve their performance skills, and prepare themselves for future growth.
