KIDEA CHAMPIONSHIP 2018 – “Celebration of Childhood”
Day 1 Saturday 7 April 2018
This year Kidea Championship envisioned the theme “Celebration of Childhood”. Over the past 8 years, the championship has turned to a more competitive event and Kidea has feared that somehow we have forgotten the very essence of this event – THE CHILDREN. This year Kidea also wanted to instill the value of our diversity amidst the fast changing millennia.
The day started off with an invocation lead by Kidea students in 5 representative religions (Catholic, Christian, Islam, Hindu and Buddha). There were 5 venues that held different categories such as talent, academics, individual sports, group sports and arts.
Here are the highlights of the events of Kidea Championship 2018
MAIN STAGE
The audiences were welcomed by Kidea HQ principal Ms. Reni Nuraisyah. It set the pace of how we will enjoy the moments of this event. It was followed by an energetic and exciting hip hop routine from lower primary students of Sekolah Harapan Prestasi Hip Hop class. The Mom & I classes did the best tandem action song performance to the tune Baby shark and one action song choice. The PGT level looked so cute wearing Indonesian traditional clothes to match their traditional dance number. The young ones were so courageous to perform on the stage that amidst the cries and anxiety they went through the performance in front of so many spectators. The K2 competed for Drama category. All participants came out with marvelous costumes and over the top props! Don’t forget how amazing they were! They memorized their lines, remembered their blocking and portrayed the story well. They day’s cherry on the cake was the twinning fashion show for all levels. Moms, dads and their kids went all out with their twinning cartoon character costumes. A lot of the duos captured the heart of the audiences when they added their signature moves on the run way.
MANGO TREE STAGE
The iconic heart thrilling English Quiz bee was held on this site. Although the mechanics haven’t changed, the committee had encountered delay that forced a category to be continued to a different venue at Kidea Town. This year the newest quiz bee category is Bahasa Indonesia Quiz Bee. The participants were impressive showcasing their understanding of our mother tongue and their spelling of Indonesian words with 2 or more syllables! Words cannot express our deepest apology for the long delay. We would like to thank all parents for their cooperation, patience, tolerance and support that despite the delay they celebrated with us the journey and victory of our children.
KIDEA HALL
This year Kidea has added an individual sports category to showcase each of the children’s strengths in sports. The children gave their best to beat the time or scores in sprint, mini marathon, bowling and basketball competitions.
SHP CLASSROOM
The categories held in this area were PS individual rhyme for Mandarin, English and Bahasa Indonesia, KI English and Mandarin rhyme, Mom & I Collage, Mom & I transferring balls and PGT Karaoke. Each of the contestants performed their best to deliver the rhymes. The use of costume and props made their interpretation come to life. The mommies of the Mom & I class were so cooperative and supportive to let their children work independently. It must be very hard to fight the itch to help them!
