To celebrate the 78th anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia, all students and teachers of MIS Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle, and High School held an Intramurals Day on Wednesday, August 16, 2023. The day was filled with various fun and educational activities, including traditional Indonesian competitions such as tug-of-war, sack race, and krupuk eating, as well as more modern sports like basketball, futsal, and volleyball.
Students and teachers were required to wear t-shirts according to the color of their group.

These activities are important for relieving stress and promoting creativity.”
