Voices of Vision: South Jakarta Literary Competition

At SPM Panglima Polim Campus, we believe that finding one's voice is the ultimate expression of leadership. This week, five of our students proved that their voices are not only loud but also profoundly creative, by securing top honors at the Lomba Cipta Puisi dan Cerpen 2025 (Poetry and Short Story Writing Competition).

Organized by the South Jakarta Cultural Department (Suku Dinas Kebudayaan Kota Administrasi Jakarta Selatan), this prestigious event highlights the best young writers in the region. We are proud to announce that our students were selected as winners for the Top 10 Best Works in both the Junior and Senior High School categories.

Masters of Narrative and Verse

Our students showcased incredible versatility, excelling in both prose and poetry.

In the Short Story (Cipta Cerpen) Category:

  • Lizzy (Elizabeth Hanna Suryana, 9th Grade) was recognized for one of the top 10 best works in the Junior High level.

  • Marco (Marco Amadeo Prawiro, 9th Grade) also secured a spot in the top 10 for Junior High with his compelling narrative.

  • Jemma (Jemma Adeela Falaba, 10th Grade) represented our Senior High School level, earning her place among the top 10 best works in the SMA category.

In the Poetry (Cipta Puisi) Category:

  • Abigail (Abigail Janna Magalie Saiya, 9th Grade) crafted award-winning verse that placed her in the top 10 for Junior High.

  • Bella (Ayana Amabella Yanuarso, 9th Grade) captivated the judges with her poetry, also winning top honors in the Junior High division.

Each winner was awarded a certificate of excellence, a trophy, and a prize of Rp 3,500,000, validating their hard work and literary talent.

A Tribute to Mentorship

Behind every great writer is a mentor who nurtures their spark. We extend our deepest and most heartfelt appreciation to Ms. Anita.

This victory belongs to her as much as it does to the students. Thank you, Ms. Anita, for teaching with such sincerity and extraordinary dedication. Your guidance has empowered these students to "Find Their Voice"—a core tenet of our Leader in Me philosophy.

Congratulations to Bella, Marco, Abigail, Lizzy, and Jemma! You have written a new chapter in SPM's history of excellence.
