CHARACTER EDUCATION

At BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi, we strive to create a gracious community that is respectful and a community that is rich in good character.

In order to achieve this, we understand that we must all strive to manage our emotions better and to learn how to express our thoughts and emotions in positive and respectful ways.
As part of our Character Building and Values Education Progamme, our Middle School students had a character-building student seminar entitled, “Conflict Resolutions in Friendships” on Thursday, 7th November 2019.

Our guest speaker, Ms. Dwiana H. Wahyudi, S.Psi, M.M. gave a seminar on how to respond calmly and make peace out of conflicts in the following steps:
S = Stop
O = Observe
B = Breathe
E = Explain
R = Resolve

Students were also encouraged to write a short note of appreciation to their friends to show how they care for one another. Similarly, we ran a character-building workshop for EL3 students on Thursday, 14th November 2019 entitled “Cool Down: Taking Grrr…Out of Anger.”

The workshop aimed to help our students understand the emotion of anger better and to learn how to best handle or manage it when it rears its “ugly” head.
Ms. Nita Sukmawati (our Guidance Counsellor) & Mr. Erwin R. Montojo (Affective Education Coordinator) led the workshop and gave some simple tips on basic anger management in the following steps:
A = Awareness
B = Breathe
C = Counting
D = Distance
E = Express

Let’s work together to build OUR gracious community for all BINUSIANS!
