Congratulations to Chiara Amanda Santoso, Danniella Jasmine Soetandi and Raeya Rajiv Savur for their achievement at the International Conference of Aerospace Medicine, ICAM22 at Paris, France. Their excellent research and awesome presentation was appreciated and applauded by the distinguished scientists, professors and researchers present at ICAM22. Over the past few months they were actively involved in extracting acoustic parameters from voice samples using PRAAT software and then statistically analyzing (SA) them using IBM SPSS software under the guidance and supervision of Dr. Savita Sondhi. All three students equally contributed as well as prepared for oral presentation at ICAM22. Thanks to our teachers Dr. Savita Sondhi (MYP Mathematics Teacher, BINUS SCHOOL Simprug) and Dr. Rinda Hedwig (Research Interest Group Leader, Kampus Anggrek) for keeping the enthusiasm and always being focused on creating innovative research studies for the well-being of the society. “It was an unexpected opportunity that came from Ms. Savita and nurtured into something much more than a school project. Being in Paris and interacting with prominent members of the scientific community was probably the most rewarding and fruitful part of this entire experience, and we were all very grateful to have done it together”, students said. Looking forward to many such innovative studies in future by young Binusians. Once again congratulations! Are you curious? Let’s watch their video on Youtube: https://youtu.be/aubk-K7jxKA When: Conference date: 22nd Set to 24th Sept 2022. Travel from Jakarta on 20th Sept 2022 and return to Jakarta on 26th Sept 2022. Where: Paris, France. Who’s going: Chiara Amanda Santoso Danniella Jasmine Soetandi Raeya Rajiv Savur Rinda Hedwig (Research Interest Group Leader, Kampus Anggrek) Savita Sondhi (MYP Mathematics Teacher, BINUS SCHOOL Simprug) What is the purpose? To attend – International Conference of Aerospace Medicine / ICAM 2022 Our research study titled, “Effect of Physical Exhaustion on Basic Parameters of Voice “, has been accepted for oral presentation at the first International Conference of Aerospace Medicine, ICAM22 at Paris, France. This conference will be held under the auspices and joint sponsorships of: The Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) The International Academy of Aviation and Space Medicine (IAASM) The European Society of Aerospace Medicine (ESAM) The Société Francophone de Médecine Aérospatiale (SOFRAMAS) ICAM 2022 will be the first international conference to bring together all the civilian and military specialists involved in Aerospace Medicine, Airlines Medical Doctors, Repatriation, and Occupational Health. We, Binusians, are going to present our research findings related to the above study before the scientific community. What’s students’ achievement? Chiara, Danniella and Raeya have been working very enthusiastically with Dr Savita Sondhi since past 10 months on two research studies. One is the current study, findings of which we will present during ICAM22 at Paris. The other one is titled, “Comparison of Acoustic parameters in various Obstructive Airway Diseases” which is under progress. Over these months they were actively involved in extracting acoustic parameters from voice samples using PRAAT software and then statistically analyzing (SA) them using IBM SPSS software. Contribution of Chiara: After extracting the voice parameters, Chiara expressed her interest to perform statistical analysis herself. So, I guided her with the steps of entering data into SPSS and executing the results. Due to pandemic, we discussed on Zoom and MS Teams, and she was super quick to learn all steps and wanted to explore further. She also took the initiative to educate Danniella and Raeya with the procedure to perform statistical analysis using SPSS. Currently, all three students are equally contributing and preparing power point slides for oral presentation during ICAM22. They will be the first high school students from BINUS group to be presenting their research findings at an international conference of this caliber. It is very rewarding as a teacher to see how they collaborate, teach one another, and consistently deliver high quality results within few hours of assigning. They are focused, determined, and are leaving no stone unturned to represent BINUS at ICAM22. Any other plans in the future according to this achievement? Aim is to represent BINUS group at the global platform of research and development. Since research is the foundation for growth of every nation, with this achievement, young Binusians will be inspired and fostered to participate in real time research. They will be empowered to explore their potentials and broaden their horizon, thus contributing to the greater good of the society.

So glad to be learning about nature in our own school. Our students and teachers are trying their best to fulfill Sustainable Development Goals #2 on Zero Hunger and #3 on Good Health & Well Being by planting and harvesting Hydroponic plants. This is just the start, we have great plans on fulfilling these goals! Shout-out to our Building Management Manager Mr. Abdul Khalim and his team for jumpstarting this project with us!

The Investiture of Student Leaders is a ceremony held by BINUS SCHOOL Serpong, every year to introduce to the student body the Student Council, Club Presidents and Class Captains who will lead, set an example, and inspire their fellow members and peers with their commitment, confidence and capability.

BINUS SCHOOL offers its students many opportunities to enhance their leadership skills as well to foster their active involvement in various school events. Participation in the Student Council (SC) is one of the opportunities available to them. On 29 August, the new set of BINUS SCHOOL Semarang Student Council Officers was elected. Forty-five percent of the Middle School and High School students made themselves available for positions of service. In the end, the students chose five to serve them as President, High School Vice President, Middle School Vice President, and Grade Level Representatives for Grades 7 and 10. In turn, the Executive Council of the Student Council assigned other students to head its various working-committees. The Investiture Ceremony of the pioneer set of elected Student Council Officers was held on Monday, 2 September 2022. Through the leadership of the Student Council, the students’ active involvement and initiatives add to the diverse and rich learning experiences at BINUS SCHOOL Semarang.
