SMAN 77 Jakarta commenced its five-day orientation program, known as Masa Pengenalan Lingkungan Sekolah (MPLS), for the new academic year 2026/2027, welcoming 213 new students. The program, running from July 13 to July 17, aims to introduce students to the school environment, faculty, and essential life skills.

Mugi Mulyani, the Vice Principal for Student Affairs at SMAN 77 Jakarta, stated that the orientation includes crucial topics such as anti-bullying and the dangers of narcotics. The overarching theme for this year's MPLS is "creating a safe, comfortable, and clean school environment." To achieve this, the school has invited various external agencies, including the DKI Jakarta Provincial Child Protection and Population Control Agency for anti-bullying sessions, the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) for drug education, and members of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) for marching drills.

Because the theme of MPLS is creating a safe, comfortable, and clean school environment.

Further enriching the orientation, the school has arranged sessions with the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) for first aid preparedness and the local police for legal awareness training. Disaster preparedness and religious character development are also integral parts of the program. For non-Muslim students, dedicated spaces are provided for prayer, ensuring inclusivity.

Minister of Primary and Secondary Education, Abdul Mu'ti, previously urged all schools to strictly prohibit hazing and seniority practices during MPLS. He stressed that the orientation should be a positive and welcoming experience, enabling new students to adapt to their school environment without intimidation. SMAN 77 Jakarta's comprehensive approach, combining essential life skills education with a focus on student well-being and safety, aims to ensure that new students can pursue their education without fear and focus on achieving their academic aspirations.

Without any fear, physically or psychologically.
