From Classroom to Adventure: Quba Islamic School Takes P1 Students to "Explorer Land," Cultivating Independence and Responsibility.
In its steadfast commitment to enriching students' learning experiences and instilling essential character values, Quba Islamic School proudly presented the Class Outing P1 with the inspiring theme "Adventure in Explorer Land." This engaging educational activity was successfully carried out on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at Scientia Square Park, Tangerang. Involving 48 energetic Primary 1 students accompanied by 5 dedicated teachers, including Mrs. Aulia Rahmah, S.Pd., this event was not merely a casual picnic but a tangible manifestation of Quba Islamic School's profound care for the comprehensive development of each of its students.
The primary objective of this Class Outing P1 was to cultivate a spirit of adventure in students, particularly in their ability to observe and interact with their surrounding environment. In a modern era demanding adaptability and innovation, the capacity to explore, analyze, and comprehend the world is a crucial competence that will shape them into proactive and resilient individuals. Quba Islamic School sincerely hopes that through this immersive experience, students will be encouraged to think critically, internalize a sense of responsibility, and develop their independence. These noble values form the foundation of education at Quba Islamic School, which consistently strives to produce future generations who are not only academically excellent but also possess strong moral integrity and character.
Quba Islamic School's commitment to student well-being and development was evident in every stage of the Class Outing's planning and execution. From the outset, the school team meticulously designed this activity with high precision to ensure optimal safety, comprehensive comfort, and an unforgettable learning experience for all participants. The detailed itinerary serves as a testament to this deep dedication and attention.
The day began with enthusiasm at 06:00 AM WIB, with coordinated departure preparations from Quba Islamic School. This crucial moment was followed by an opening session by the HDMS/Vice Curr at 06:30 AM WIB, where students were carefully reminded of the rules and etiquette during the outing class, emphasizing the importance of discipline and maintaining personal and environmental safety. The distribution of breakfast snacks at 06:40 AM WIB was not merely for energy intake but also an integral part of ensuring student comfort during the journey. Inside the bus, teachers not only supervised snacking time but also interactively reviewed the various activities to be undertaken at Scientia Park, communicated the rules in an engaging manner, and lightened the atmosphere with ice-breaking activities through educational cartoons. This holistic approach demonstrates how Quba Islamic School is determined to transform every moment, even during travel, into a valuable opportunity for meaningful learning and interaction.
Upon arrival at Scientia Square Park around 08:45 AM WIB, students and teachers gathered at the iconic entrance for a group photo session, capturing moments of togetherness that will become cherished memories. Subsequently, they moved towards the Amphitheater, the central area for various activities. The highlight of the morning's activities was participation in the Animal Actors program from 09:00 AM to 12:00 PM WIB in the Scientia Park Area. This activity was specifically designed to spark students' curiosity about the diversity of the animal kingdom, teaching them about various species and their unique behaviors, and fostering deep empathy towards living creatures. The presence of three additional professional guides from Scientia Park, alongside the accompanying teachers, ensured that every student received personalized attention and comprehensive guidance throughout this activity. This underscores how Quba Islamic School not only provides experiences but also guarantees the quality and depth of those educational experiences.
After the interactive and insightful Animal Actors session, students took a break for lunch. Lunch preparation took place from 12:00 PM to 12:15 PM WIB, followed by a warm communal lunch at the Amphitheater until 12:45 PM WIB. This time was utilized not only to replenish energy but also as a valuable opportunity for students to socialize and interact informally with peers and teachers in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Spirituality is at the core of education at Quba Islamic School. Therefore, from 12:45 PM to 01:30 PM WIB, all participants solemnly performed the Dhuhr prayer in congregation at the Musholla Scientia Park Amphitheater. This serves as an important reminder that holistic education encompasses not only academic and recreational dimensions but also the formation of strong Islamic character and a solid spiritual foundation.
The series of activities continued with a worksheet session from 01:30 PM to 01:45 PM WIB. This session functioned as a means of cognitive reflection and reinforcement of students' understanding of the concepts they had learned throughout the day. Afterward, from 01:45 PM to 02:00 PM WIB, students were invited to stroll leisurely around the Scientia Park area, giving them the opportunity to appreciate the natural beauty and surrounding facilities more freely but still under strict supervision.
Towards the afternoon, efficient departure preparations were made from 02:00 PM to 02:15 PM WIB at Gate 3 Scientia Park. The comfortable return journey to Quba Islamic School lasted from 02:15 PM to 04:15 PM WIB, and all participants were expected to arrive back safely at Quba Islamic School between 04:15 PM and 04:30 PM WIB. Throughout the return journey, teachers continuously monitored the condition of each student, ensuring that everyone remained well and comfortable until reaching their destination.
This Class Outing P1 is clear evidence of Quba Islamic School's commitment to extending beyond the boundaries of formal classroom learning by providing invaluable outdoor learning experiences. The school strongly believes that such experiences are essential keys to nurturing independent, critically thinking, responsible students, equipped with an unlimited spirit of adventure. With meticulous planning, attentive execution, and full support from all teaching staff and management, Quba Islamic School constantly strives to be a caring, innovative, and future-oriented educational institution, educating young generations ready to face the complexities of the world with strong knowledge and noble character.
We hope that through initiatives like this, the seeds of adventure, independence, and responsibility will flourish and develop within every Primary 1 student, making them beneficial individuals for their religion, nation, and country.
