AULIA Preschool’s Grand Adventure: Yogyakarta, Here We Come!

The event was nearing its end, and the MC was getting ready to move on to the closing session… but suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall changed.
The music stopped. The slideshow paused. And from the back of the stage, a familiar figure appeared — Mr. Fachri Permadi, A. Md. Kom., from the AULIA management team, walking in with his signature smile and confident stride.

Everyone in the room fell silent — “Wait, this isn’t on the rundown…”
That’s right — this was one of the unlisted surprises in the program. And as always with AULIA, surprises from management are never done halfway.

Holding a microphone, Mr. Fachri shared that it was time for AULIA Preschool to give special recognition to the true education heroes who have been working tirelessly behind the classroom scenes. They are more than just teachers — they are dedicated educators who have given their hearts, time, and unwavering devotion to the children.

A round of applause filled the room. The teachers’ eyes sparkled—perhaps from surprise, perhaps from emotion. But one thing was certain: this award came from the heart and was meant for those who give wholeheartedly every single day.

And finally, we arrived at the most prestigious recognition at AULIA Preschool—an award that speaks not only of responsibility, but also of spirit, consistency, collaboration, and exemplary dedication in education.

Under the powerful spirit of #ImprovingTogether, Ms. Mandha stands as a shining example that a teacher is not merely an instructor, but a true companion in a child’s growth journey. She bridges communication between school and home, builds trust with parents, and creates a joyful yet structured learning environment. In her eyes, every child is a unique individual to be respected. In her steps, every activity becomes a meaningful learning process.

When her name was announced, Ms. Mandha was visibly surprised, then slowly bowed her head, eyes glistening with emotion.
From the side of the stage, Ms. Henny Setyowati, S. Pd., Principal of AULIA, walked toward her. She embraced Ms. Mandha tightly—not just as a gesture of appreciation, but as a heartfelt expression of love from a leader to a fellow educator united by the same vision.

In her brief speech, Ms. Henny shared a touching message:

A round of applause erupted—louder than ever before.
And the final words from Ms. Henny echoed in the room, a message not easily forgotten:

"Teachers are not unsung heroes. Their contributions must be remembered — through real and continuous appreciation."

The hall fell silent for a moment, then was filled once again with energy and spirit. Because everyone there understood — this was the climax: a moment when recognition, vision, and hope came together on one humble stage, in the heart of the AULIA Preschool family.
