Cisarua, Bogor – October 2–3, 2025.
A total of 67 students from Secondary Al Taqwa College Indonesia, accompanied by their teachers, enthusiastically participated in the Leadership Camp and Excursion held at Citra Alam Riverside, Cisarua, Bogor. This program was designed to nurture leadership qualities, independence, and responsibility, all grounded in Islamic values.

Throughout the two-day camp, participants engaged in a variety of fun and meaningful activities such as outbound games, nature adventures, teamwork challenges, shared meals, and a campfire night that strengthened brotherhood and the spirit of togetherness.

The highlight of the event was an inspirational seminar titled “Leadership in the Perspective of Islam”, which provided insights into how a true leader should emulate the noble character of Prophet Muhammad Shallallahu Alaihi Wasallam leading with adab (good manners), trustworthiness, and sincerity.

The Deputy Director of Al Taqwa College Indonesia, who also served as the keynote speaker, emphasized that this program was not merely a recreational activity but rather a platform for developing students’ Islamic character and leadership mindset. “We want our students to understand that leadership is not about power, but about responsibility and service. With Islamic values as their foundation, they will grow into leaders of integrity, wisdom, and noble character,” he stated

The Leadership Camp and Excursion 2025 was a truly memorable experience for all participants. It taught them that every Muslim is a leader, and that true leadership begins with the ability to lead oneself according to Islamic guidance.
This program stands as living proof that the best learning does not always happen inside the classroom, but also in nature where leadership, togetherness, and spirituality unite in perfect harmony.

Bogor, 28 October 2025 

In commemoration of Hari Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian Language Day), the Secondary Department of Al Taqwa College Indonesia proudly held a vibrant and meaningful celebration filled with fun competitions, cultural spirit, and joyful learning.

The event, which took place on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, aimed to encourage love and pride for Bahasa Indonesia not only among Indonesian students but also among international students who are part of the diverse Al Taqwa community. With the theme “Cinta Bahasa Indonesia, Cinta Identitas Bangsa,” the celebration highlighted the importance of language as a symbol of unity, identity, and national pride.

A Day of Excitement, Learning, and Cultural Appreciation

From the morning, the school atmosphere was filled with excitement. Students wore red-and-white attributes symbolizing the Indonesian flag, while the campus was decorated with posters and banners promoting the beauty of the national language.

The event began with the solemn reading of Pancasila by selected students, followed by a lively series of competitions including:

  • Bahasa Indonesia Speech Contest,
  • Indonesian Spelling Bee,
  • Reading Aloud Challenge,
  • and Poetry and Proverb Performances, which showcased creativity and linguistic expression

What made this celebration even more special was the active participation of international students, who were required to communicate and perform entirely in Bahasa Indonesia. Their enthusiasm and courage in using the language gained admiration and applause from teachers and peers alike.

It’s amazing to see our international students confidently delivering speeches and joining spelling competitions in Bahasa Indonesia. This shows how language can unite us across cultures,” said one of the teachers proudly.

Unity in Diversity Through Language

The event not only served as a competition but also as a platform to promote cross-cultural understanding and friendship. Indonesian students helped their international friends with pronunciation and vocabulary, showing the true spirit of cooperation and unity.

Throughout the day, laughter and cheers echoed across the school hall as students supported one another. Teachers, too, took part in the fun by giving short quizzes and awarding small prizes to the most enthusiastic participants.

The highlight came when several international students delivered short speeches in Bahasa Indonesia, expressing their admiration for Indonesia’s language and culture. Their efforts touched the hearts of the audience and showed that Bahasa Indonesia can be a bridge that connects people from all nations

A Celebration of Identity and Pride

The celebration concluded with the announcement of competition winners and the singing of the national anthem “Indonesia Raya.” The event ended joyfully, with all participants feeling proud to be part of a multicultural environment that honours Indonesia’s linguistic heritage.

We want our students to understand that Bahasa Indonesia is not just a language — it is a part of who we are as a nation. By mastering and loving it, they also learn to appreciate Indonesia’s culture, values, and unity,” said the event coordinator.
