Hi Eagles!
The month of May has brought all our attention towards a spectacular and well-known event in the Sekolah Ciputra community: the Ciputra Cup 2K22. The Ciputra Cup 2K22 is a basketball and soccer tournament annually (excluding the period during the peak of the pandemic) hosted by Sekolah Ciputra OSIS, taking place on 19-22 May 2022, mainly in the Sekolah Ciputra multi-purpose hall (MPH). Being the first face-to-face event held by Sekolah Ciputra OSIS since the start of the pandemic back in 2019, this year’s Ciputra Cup is surely a memorable milestone for the 2021-2022 OSIS Sekolah Ciputra team. There were over 12 schools around Surabaya participating in this event: Sekolah Ciputra, VITA School, SMPN 33 Surabaya, SMP Gloria 1, Sekolah Citra Berkat, Little Sun School, National Star Academy, SMP Gloria 2, SMA Gloria 2, Sekolah Masa Depan Cerah Surabaya, SMPN 2 Taman, and Surabaya European School. Other than the support from our sponsors, the participants, and our team members, the implementation and enforcement of strict health protocols has also ensured the further success of this event.
This year’s Ciputra Cup consists of 3 basketball categories and 1 soccer friendly match. The basketball categories are for SMP Putra (Junior High Male), SMP Putri (Junior High Female), and SMA Putra (Senior High Male). In total, there were 8 teams for the Junior High Male category, 5 teams for the Senior High Male, and 4 teams for the Junior High Female category. As for the soccer category, the Ciputra Senior High Male team had a friendly match against the Surabaya European School soccer team.

Other than the tournament itself, OSIS Sekolah Ciputra’s Public Relations and External Events department held a small stall to sell scrumptious food and refreshing drinks for enthusiastic players and spectators. The menu included fruit-flavored iced tea, soft drinks, pentol, french fries, onigiri, and more! Located near the entrance of the courts, the stall received a generous amount of orders and happy faces.
To enter a game/session, spectators had to either book tickets online—in which they had to pay for first—or wait in line for up to 30 minutes before each session started. After receiving their tickets, spectators were to enter the Sekolah Ciputra area and were expected to wait to enter the court. After the players enter the court, spectators are then allowed to enter and take their seats on the benches provided.
The awards ceremony took place on the last day of the event (22 May 2022) in Sekolah Ciputra’s Basketball Court (BBC), announcing the winners and MVPs in each category. For the winners in the basketball category, we would like to congratulate the first, second, and third place winners in the SMP Putra (Junior High Male) category, respectively, National Star Academy, Vita School, and SMP Gloria 1. In the SMP Putri (Junior High Female) category, we would like to commend National Star Academy in first place, Sekolah Ciputra in second place, and SMPN 2 Taman in third place. For the SMA Putra (Senior High Male) category, we would like to congratulate Sekolah Ciputra in first place, Cita Hati West in second place, and Sekolah Masa Depan Cerah in third place. Lastly, we would like to commend the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in each category: Freno Wijaya from National Star Academy in the SMP Putra category, Faustina Joycelene from National Star Academy in the SMP Putri category, and Robert Kang from Sekolah Ciputra in the SMA Putra category. Congratulations to all the winners!

Moving onto the soccer friendly match between the Ciputra soccer team and the Surabaya European School soccer team, the match ended in a victory for the away team of Surabaya European School. The match ended with a 1-0 victory as the attacker from the away team snatched a late 2nd half goal through a volley shot on the right side of the Ciputra’s goal post. At the end of the match, both teams shook hands and took a picture together. We would like to thank both teams for allowing OSIS to host this soccer friendly match and hope that we will have more matches in the near future with the sport of soccer. We would like to congratulate the Surabaya European School soccer team for winning against the Sekolah Ciputra soccer team.

OSIS Sekolah Ciputra 2021-2022 is beyond grateful and elated for the success of this year’s Ciputra Cup. We would like to thank those who have made this event possible. Firstly, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to our sponsors—AKE Water, Roti In, and Rumah Sakit Orthopedi & Traumatologi Surabaya for making this event successful. Secondly, thank you to all the participants and spectators who participated in the Sekolah Ciputra Cup 2022. Without them, this event would not have been possible. Lastly, we would like to thank all OSIS members, volunteers, and Sekolah Ciputra teaching staff who have helped coordinate and ensure the smooth running of the event.
Here are a few quotes from Mr. Martin Blackburn, the Sekolah Ciputra executive principal, Mr. Mark Hukom, the Sekolah Ciputra principal, and Mr. Dedy, the Physical and Health Education head of faculty.
“It was wonderful to finally have our students enjoying a well-organized off line event. The organization from OSIS was incredible and the school spirit and good sportsmanship was amazing. The OSIS team has once again outdone itself.” - Mr. Martin
“Ciputra Cup showcased all the Learner Profile attributes. All the students involved were risk-takers, communicators, and open-minded to name a few of those attributes. There were obstacles along the way, but all were solved quickly. There is room for improvement for sure because we want to become a better host next year.” - Mr. Mark Hukom
“In general, Ciputra Cup 2K22 ran smoothly because of the support of all the OSIS members who worked extremely hard to make this event possible. Even so, there are still things that must still be improved. Us, as PHE teachers (Mr. Soewondo and Mr. Dedy) who are directly involved in Ciputra Cup 2K22 both as coaches and as Sekolah Ciputra teachers have prepared and ensured that everything is ready for the d-day. I am extremely proud of the entire OSIS team and their hard work.” - Mr. Dedy
We hope that the annual Ciputra Cup tradition will continue next year, hopefully with more participants and the COVID restrictions lifted. We wish you all the best—see you then!
