Celebrating Our Mentors: Teachers’ Day 2026

By: Patricia Holly Setiawan S2N

Teachers’ Day 2026 was a joyful and heartfelt celebration that honoured the dedication and impact of our educators. This event brought together students and teachers for a day filled with laughter, games, and meaningful performances that reflected gratitude and unity within the school community.

The celebration began with a series of interactive games, where teachers were divided into three groups to participate in different activities. One highlight was Wavelength, in which the MCs described a concept and teachers positioned an arrow along a spectrum according to their interpretation.This sparked lively discussions and laughter as teachers shared their reasoning. Another activity, Guess the Person, displayed slides of baby photos of students, challenging teachers to identify each photo. The room was filled with amusement as teachers made their guesses, often surprised by the results. The final game, Paper Fish Race, tested coordination and teamwork as teachers used folders to blow paper fish across the floor toward the finish line, creating a fun and competitive atmosphere.

Following the games, students took to the stage to express their appreciation through a series of performances. The segment opened with Preston and Andro, performing  “A Million Dreams” from The Greatest Showman, setting an inspiring tone for the rest of the performances. Louis and Aaronne’s  heartfelt rendition of “My Way” by Frank Sinatra, captivated the audience with their vocal prowess. The JC2 students, for their part, energized the crowd with “Night Changes” by One Direction, bringing forth a sense of nostalgia and excitement. The final performance featured the Student Council HOD, Vice HOD, and EXCO members, who performed “When I Grow Up” from Matilda, delivering a lively and memorable act that resonated with both students and teachers.

To conclude the celebration, a touching performance of “Terima Kasih Guruku” paid tribute to the teachers, in recognition of  the role they play in helping shape our  lives and future. The song was a reminder that teachers impact lives.

Overall, Teachers’ Day 2026 was a memorable occasion that combined fun, creativity, and gratitude. Through games and performances, students were able to celebrate and honor their teachers, acknowledge their guidance, patience, and unwavering support. The event was as a meaningful reminder of the strong bond teachers and students shared within the school community.
