National Heroes Day 2026 x Excursion Term 2: Heroes Around Us - Learning, Exploring, And Appreciating The Heroes

In celebration of National Heroes Day 2026, Jean Mayer Preschool students had an exciting learning experience through our Term 2 Excursion with the theme “Heroes Around Us: Learning, Exploring, and Appreciating Our Heroes.” This special visit took place at the Mobile Brigade Command Headquarters (Mako Satuan Brimob Polda Papua) in Jayapura.

During the visit, our students had the opportunity to learn more about how police officers serve and protect the community. Through simple explanations and hands-on experiences, the officers introduced various equipment and tools used in their daily duties. The students were excited to see, hold, and take pictures with some of the equipment while learning about their functions in ways that were easy for them to understand.

The excitement continued as students from Little Bee, Busy Bee, Bumble Bee, and Bee Explorer took turns riding in the Brimob tactical vehicle. They enjoyed looking around the area and experiencing what it was like to ride in a real police vehicle. This activity became a memorable moment that also encouraged their confidence and courage to try something new.

Another special moment was meeting and interacting with the Brimob officers. The students had the chance to spend time together with the officers, observe their uniforms and equipment, and experience a closer connection with these community helpers.

It was truly a fun and meaningful day for our students! Through this excursion, they learned that being a police officer is not only about wearing a uniform or using special equipment, but also about helping, protecting, and serving others.

This experience brought our Term 2 theme, “Working with Community Helpers,” to life. By learning directly from the people who serve our community, our students gained new knowledge, meaningful memories, and a greater appreciation for the heroes around us. ❤️👮‍♂️🚓
