“No Harm in Trying…”
The phrase that spurred 2 time scholarship recipient Audrey to go the extra mile
During the interview with Audrey, she mentioned this phrase a few times, “No harm in trying….”
The only Reach Cambridge Summer Program recipient from Indonesia that year to obtain a fully paid scholarship to pursue the course, Audrey was initially hesitant to apply when Ichthus shared the program with the students. She had to save up for university.  Ms Martha, kepala sekolah, encouraged her and said “No harm in trying for the scholarship, what is there to lose?”. That advise resonated with Audrey. With strong recommendation letters from the school and rounds of screening and interviews  later, Audrey obtained a full scholarship and had an unforgettable experience in Cambridge that summer.Â
Deja Vu all over, Mr Andy, English teacher knowing what Audrey is capable of despite her preference for the sciences, said to her, “Take up English Literature Audrey, no harm in trying, you will be surprised”,  A year later, Audrey was pleasantly surprised to receive the Cambridge Excellence Award for English Literature scoring the highest marks for the subject in Indonesia.Â
​Audrey went on to receive a full scholarship for her undergraduate studies in Engineering in University of Hong Kong.Â

Champion, Pacific Youth Parliament Debate Competition
Peter Lesmana G12
Peter moved to Ichthus for his secondary schooling. According to him, the move was one of the best decisions he has ever made. On his first attempt and experience in participating in debate competitions, Peter went on to take the top prize at the Pacific Youth Parliament. He never ever once tried debating in his previous school. The win in the debate competition eventually went to fueling his passion and interest in law. Â Today, Peter is reading law at University Gadjah Madah.Â
We are indeed proud of your transformation.
Rafael, Samuel and Veron, G11
With a history and strong culture in debating, every year our students are encouraged to try out debating. Each year, new batches of students explore and discover their passion for debating.
Without fail, Ichthus debaters will bring home debating trophies with different cohorts of students going to University of Yale, Connecticut, USA to participate in the World’s Scholars Cup finals.

DKI Jakarta Champions Again!Â
Congratulations Ichthus Choir
Choir champions of DKI Jakarta again! 3 times winners in a row – an impressive feat indeed. Ichthus Choir will again represent DKI Jakarta at the Christian Choir Competition nationals in Yogjakarta in June 2021. As the winning choir of DKI Jakarta, Ichthus choir has sung at the nationals in Pontianak and Ambon in the 2 previous competitions. They have performed in front of important delegates including the current and previous governors of Jakarta.
When asked what it takes to be champions, without hesitating, talented little Holly, Grade 4, who is an avid singer, musician and choir member said, ” Train hard. No short cuts. We practiced daily even during term break. Team work is key, how we blend and harmonize our voices. It’s really hard work but  I don’t mind and actually look forward to it cause I am having a lot of fun.“
