CCN. CILEGON – Tuesday, May 30, 2023, will be an unforgettable moment for the students of Grade XII at MAN 1 Cilegon for the academic year 2022/2023. They held the Haflatul Wada’ event at the Islamic Center Cilegon. The event was themed “Continue the Struggle, Realize Intelligent Generation with Noble Character” and was attended by all Grade XII students, parents, teachers, and important guests from various entities.
The event was attended by the Mayor of Cilegon, the Head of Administration at the Ministry of Religious Affairs Regional Office of Banten Province, the Head of Religious Affairs Office in Cilegon, the Committee of MAN 1 Cilegon, Pokjawas, heads of public and private madrasas in Cilegon, and other distinguished guests. Their presence was evidence of strong support to encourage the Grade XII students of MAN 1 Cilegon to achieve success in the future.
During the event, Mrs. Hj Maryati, as the head of MAN 1 Kota Cilegon, delivered a speech and motivation to the students. In addition, the Mayor of Cilegon, Mr. H. Heldi Agustian, was also present to inspire and provide hope for the students to continue their struggle in realizing an intelligent generation with noble character.
Not only that, the event became even more spectacular and lively with dance performances, marawis, and various other art shows. This added to the joy and spirit among the students, teachers, and all the attendees.
During the event, awards were also presented to ten outstanding students in the fields of Mathematics, Science, and Social Sciences (IPS). Additionally, twelve students were recognized for their achievements in non-academic fields, both in intracurricular and extracurricular activities. These awards are expected to serve as motivation and catalysts for the students to further improve their achievements in the future.
Mr. Diki Hermawan, the Vice Principal of Student Affairs, expressed gratitude and thanks to Allah SWT for the smooth and successful execution of the event. He also appreciated the support and motivation provided by various parties, including parents, teachers, the city government, and the attending guests.
“May the madrasah, especially MAN 1 Cilegon, continue to embody the principles of independence, piety, care, and achievement. We hope that our students can continue their struggle to achieve success in this world and in the hereafter,” said Mr. Diki Hermawan with a sense of emotion and pride.
This special moment is not only a farewell to the students’ journey in the madrasah but also a moment that will leave a lasting impression in their memories and hearts. May all the efforts and sacrifices made during their three years of studying at MAN 1 Cilegon become valuable assets for a bright future.
The Haflatul Wada’ event, which is an annual program at MAN 1 Kota Cilegon to bid farewell to Grade XII students, was successful. However, there was an interesting change this year. The event was not held in the courtyard of MAN 1 Kota Cilegon as usual but took place at the Islamic Center with full support from the committee of MAN 1 Kota Cilegon.
The event was attended by 214 students divided into two majors, namely Mathematics, Science, and Social Sciences (MIPA) and Social Sciences (IPS). Haflatul Wada’ is an important moment in their lives, marking their departure from the madrasah and preparing them for a higher journey.
In her speech, Mrs. Hj Maryati, as the head of MAN 1 Kota Cilegon, conveyed high hopes to the graduating students this year. She wished for them to pursue higher education and secure good and blessed jobs for those who wish to work. Mrs. Hj Maryati also emphasized the importance of continuous learning and becoming alumni who are proud and uphold the alma mater’s values.
“The event also serves as a valuable moment for the teachers and educators to continuously improve the quality of education. The head of the madrasah hopes that MAN 1 Kota Cilegon can progress not only in non-academic fields but also in the academic field. Some of our current programs include My Rays, research, and Olympiads,” added Mrs. Hj Maryati.
“With the change of venue to the Islamic Center for the Haflatul Wada’ event, the students and all participants can experience a more solemn and profound atmosphere. This event is expected to be a precious moment that marks the beginning of their immersion in the community,” added Mrs. Hj Maryati.
