Classroom Discussion
In the heart of Indonesia, a heartwarming moment unfolds at SDI HALLO, where joyful learning meets meaningful experiences. Captured in this photo are Mrs. Ellvyan Jani and Mrs. Ofin, sitting side by side, proudly holding the P5 Project created by their enthusiastic students. Around them, the children—dressed neatly in their Scout uniforms—shine with bright smiles, reflecting pride in their work and excitement for learning.
This is not just an ordinary school activity. It is part of the Pancasila Student Profile Project (P5, a key program in Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum that focuses on developing students’ character and essential life skills. The project encourages creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, helping students connect what they learn in class to real-life experiences.
In this photo, the teachers are seated, holding the completed P5 Project as a symbol of collective effort. The students, standing proudly around them, represent the unity and cooperation that the project inspires. The Scout uniforms add a deeper layer of meaning—symbolizing discipline, responsibility, and a love for nature, all values embedded in Indonesia’s educational culture. The brown and cream colors of the uniforms stand out against the colorful projects, capturing the essence of learning through doing.
The creation of this P5 Project was not a short journey. Over several days, students worked in teams to plan, design, and bring their ideas to life. Teachers like Mrs. Ellvyan Jani and Mrs. Ofin guided them patiently, encouraging them to share ideas, solve problems together, and learn from each other. Each step of the process—from brainstorming to presenting—helped students practice the six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile: faith in God, global diversity, cooperation, independent learning, critical reasoning, and creativity.
As the photo was taken, the atmosphere was filled with laughter, curiosity, and pride. The teachers’ seated position, holding the project, reflects not only their role as mentors but also their willingness to celebrate the students’ achievements. The children’s cheerful expressions speak louder than words—they are proud of what they have accomplished together.
This photo is more than just a documentation of a school event; it is a reflection of Indonesian education in action. It shows that learning is not limited to textbooks but thrives in experiences that shape character and skills. It captures the values of collaboration, respect, and joy that the Merdeka Curriculum aims to instill in every young learner.
In the years to come, this moment will serve as a beautiful memory for both students and teachers. It reminds everyone involved that education is not just about academic results—it is about nurturing creativity, teamwork, and confidence in young Indonesians. As Mrs. Ellvyan Jani and Mrs. Ofin hold the P5 Project with proud smiles, the photo silently tells a story: together, teachers and students can create learning experiences that are meaningful, joyful, and unforgettable.
