Hi! My name is Lakeisha Dhiyya Jennaira, but you can call me Jenna. I am 9 years old and currently a 4th-grade student at Darul Hikam Integrated School - Primary. Besides being a student, I am also a figure skating athlete. I proudly represent West Java & our lovely country Indonesia, and Garden Ice Skating Club Academy at some National and International Ice Skating Competitions. Figure skating is very special to me. I love it because it combines dancing, movement, and expression in such a graceful way. Since this sport is still quite rare in Indonesia, I feel motivated to explore it deeply and hopefully inspire more young people to try it. Of course, skating is not always easy. There are so many challenges, especially when it comes to learning new elements on the ice. But I actually enjoy challenges, it makes me stronger and more determined to improve. To support my performance on the rink, I also train off the ice. I do independent gym sessions, pilates, and other exercises regularly. Consistency is very important because strong physical training helps me skate better. I am very grateful to have three amazing coaches in Bandung who always support me. Thanks to them, I’ve been able to prepare for competitions and grow as a skater. I really love joining competitions because they give me the chance to perform, to show my choreography on ice, and to share my passion with an audience. Competitions also teach me valuable lessons such as staying calm, being powerful, and connecting with the music so that I can give my best performance. For me, figure skating is not only about technique, but also about challenging myself and enjoying the moment on the ice. So far, I have joined many competitions. My very first international competition was Skate Asia 2023 in Hong Kong. Alhamdulillah, I won two gold medals—one in the Technical Delta category and another in the Spotlight Character category. That was such a proud moment because I could represent both my club and Indonesia. In June 2024, I had another unforgettable experience when I represented Indonesia at the Madani Cup (Malaysia National Open Figure Skating Championship). Once again, Alhamdulillah, I brought home a gold medal. I have also joined several competitions in Jakarta under the ISI Asia Series, and I was honored to participate in the Indonesia National Championship PON Exhibition XXI 2024. That was my very first national-level competition, and I competed in Starlet 1 Level. The atmosphere was intense, and the other skaters were amazing. Alhamdulillah, I won a gold medal among 10 participants. I felt so grateful, not only because I won, but also because I proved to myself that I could rise to the challenge. In 2025, my journey continued. In April, I competed in the Indonesia National Championship in Jakarta, this time stepping up to the Pre-Preliminary Level, which is two levels higher than my previous national competition. It was tough! I had to perform the axel jump, one of the most challenging elements in figure skating. An axel requires you to rotate one and a half times in the air before landing. Unfortunately, I fell during my first axel attempt, which made me very sad and disappointed. I finished in 5th place out of 18 skaters. At first, I felt crushed because I had practiced so hard and believed I could land it perfectly. But my parents reminded me that in life there are always ups and downs. Falling is not the end, it’s a chance to stand up stronger. That experience taught me resilience, humility, and the importance of trusting Allah’s plan. Even though I didn’t get the result I wanted, I know it made me grow mentally and emotionally. Then, in August 2025, I joined Skate Asia again, this time held in Jakarta. Alhamdulillah, I had an amazing competition and won five gold medals and one silver medal. I was so happy to compete with talented skaters from all over Asia. It was a beautiful reminder that hard work, persistence, and faith always pay off in the end. Looking ahead, I am very excited for more competitions. I want to keep improving, perform even better, and most importantly, enjoy every moment on the ice. My dream is to represent Indonesia in bigger international events and inspire others to believe that nothing is impossible with dedication and passion. Lastly, I want to say how grateful I am to be part of DHIS. To Miss Ati, Mr. Bayu, Mr. Khan, Miss Silvy, Miss Yennie, Miss Delela, and all my teachers and friends—thank you so much for your endless support and prayers. It really means the world to me. I know I could not have achieved all of this without your encouragement and kindness. I truly love skating, and I know I will always love it. Thank you for supporting my journey. With love, Jenna ✨⛸️

DHIS Primary warmly welcomed new students for the 2025/2026 academic year through a thoughtfully organized five-day orientation program that integrated both academic introduction and spiritual enrichment. The first part of the program, FOSBB (Forum Orientasi Siswa Berakhlak Berprestasi) , was held from 14th to 16th July 2025, followed by Al-Qur’an Days on 17th and 18th July 2025. The orientation concluded with the New Students Inauguration Ceremony , held on Monday, 21st July 2025, at Pesantren Saintek Darul Hikam in Dago Giri. The theme of this year’s FOSBB was “Preparing Indonesia’s Golden Generation with Akhlaq and Achievement.” Over the course of three days, students were introduced to the school environment, connected with peers, and engaged in activities designed to build character and confidence. On the first day, students were introduced to DHIS Primary and its teachers, and they played games to help them get comfortable with the new environment. On the second day, students began with the Dhuha prayer, participated in a fun English session, and explored the school grounds. The third day featured storytelling, English activities, and a creative puppet-making workshop that encouraged self-expression and creativity. The orientation program continued with Al-Qur’an Days on 17th and 18th July 2025. Under the theme “Internalizing the Qur’an in Daily Life to Create a Generation with Good Akhlaq and Achievements,” the first day featured Hello Hijaiyah, an interactive introduction to Arabic letters, accompanied by reflections on the significance of loving and understanding the Qur’an. On the second day, students participated in Tasmi’ Qur’an (recitation), listened to Qur’anic stories emphasizing core values, and were paired with a Qur’an Buddy to support one another in memorization. The program concluded with Memory Day , during which students shared their experiences and insights, thereby reinforcing the lessons acquired throughout the orientation. This year’s FOSBB and Al-Qur’an Days effectively established a solid foundation for a holistic educational experience, harmonizing academic preparedness with the development of moral integrity and spiritual awareness. By instilling these fundamental values from the outset, DHIS Primary reaffirms its dedication to cultivating Indonesia’s golden generation—individuals who will mature into not only intellectually capable but also ethically grounded and accomplished members of society.

80 years of freedom. What does that truly mean? For Indonesia, it is not just a number. It is a reminder of sacrifice, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of a nation that refused to be broken. On the 17th of August 1945, after centuries of colonial rule, Indonesia stood tall and declared to the world: We are free. Freedom did not come easily. For more than 300 years, Indonesia was under Dutch colonial power, and later faced Japanese occupation during World War II. Generations of Indonesians endured hardship, oppression, and struggle. Yet, through that darkness, the flame of hope never died. On that historic Friday morning, Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, standing in Jakarta, proclaimed Indonesia’s independence. Their voices carried the dreams of millions, a promise that this land and its people would no longer bow to foreign rule. The journey was not over. The Dutch tried to reclaim control, leading to years of conflict, bloodshed, and resistance. But the Indonesian spirit was unshakable. Farmers, students, mothers, fathers, soldiers, and even children united in one common cause: Merdeka. Finally, in 1949, the Dutch formally recognized Indonesia’s independence, and the dream of a free nation became reality. Since then, every 17th of August is not just a date—it is a celebration of identity, unity, and pride. Across the archipelago, from big cities to small villages, people honor this day with passion. Schools, offices, and communities gather for flag-raising ceremonies, where the red and white flag flutters as a symbol of courage and purity. Streets come alive with laughter as children join sack races, climbing greased poles, and tug-of-war battles that reflect Indonesia’s joy, creativity, and togetherness. Houses and neighborhoods are decorated with red and white, reminding us that independence is a gift to be cherished and protected. But beyond the games, music, and parades, Independence Day is a moment of reflection. It is a time to remember the heroes who gave their lives, the families who endured suffering, and the leaders who carried the nation’s hopes on their shoulders. Their legacy is the reason we can learn, work, dream, and live in freedom today. 80 years later, the spirit of independence continues to guide us. It calls on every Indonesian to uphold unity, respect diversity, and contribute to building a better future. Because independence is not just something to be celebrated—it is something to be lived, every single day. So as we raise our flags high this Independence Day, let us carry the message of 1945 in our hearts: that Indonesia, from Sabang to Merauke, is one nation, united, free, and forever proud. Dirgahayu Republik Indonesia! 80 years of independence, and the spirit of Merdeka will never fade.
