INTRODUCING OUR NEW STAFF

Ms Zenna Aprianiwati – Primary School Teacher

Ms Zenna joined the Primary School during Semester 1, and she particularly specialises in technology literacy. She majored in Mathematics at the State Islamic University in Jakarta and this has spurred her on to explore the fields of technology and Mathematics. Her experience includes being part of a technology education start-up which allowed her to work with students all over Indonesia. Ms Zenna is also talented in coding, and she is always happy to meet students who share the same interest as her. She aspires to further her studies in these fields in Japan one day. Ms Zenna also enjoys listening to K-Pop and exploring the vast lands of Indonesia while trying out different cuisines.

Ms Jennifer Djaja – Preschool Teacher

I was born and raised in Jakarta and have had the opportunity to live and teach in China, UK and Japan. Since graduating from the University of Huddersfield, UK, I have been teaching at international preschools in Japan for over 6 years. I have always had an enormous passion for early childhood education, and teaching challenges me to be more creative, patient, and compassionate each day. The highlights of my days at school are when I see a student’s eyes light up when they discover or learn something new. My hobbies include archery, art, pottery, travels, baking, and participating in Japanese tea ceremonies.

As an educator, I believe that learning new things are fun, but, when you’re having fun, you learn more. I am looking forward to creating memorable memories together and supporting students to become global citizens and life-long learners.
