Immersion : Singapore trip to HPPS
Immersion

This unique annual educative trip is sure to provide invaluable life experiences for Olifant students. Students are prepared for this educational trip through various activities.
Unlike a regular study tour, Olifant 5th graders will get the opportunity to visit an elementary school in Singapore. They will join class and experience regular school activities together with Singaporean students. Olifant students also participate in International Friendship Day by performing Indonesian traditional dances or other Indonesian cultural performances. The students also visit a variety of educational sites such as science center, museums, renewable resource plants etc.
Ramp Show
A “Ramp show” is a simple performance done at the school ramp. The students perform in front of their parents and teachers. It usually takes only few minutes for each performance. This activity is one of the ways students can improve self-confidence through singing, dancing, or other performances.
An enrichment program can be integrated into a ramp show performance that way the parents can see the progress of the students in enrichment.
Umbrella Activity
An "Umbrella Activity" is an integrated, one day activity. The activity is specially designed to cover all aspects of student's learning needs. The activity is adjusted at each age level and follows a specific theme or goal. eg: in preschool the children will learn to balance the four aspects of learning through a fun and exciting day full of applied activities all leading up to a final project.
In elementary the day's activities will coincide with their specific academic subjects such as Math, Science, Arts, and language skills once again all leading up to a fun and useful integrated activity.
