“Labschool has a proven track record of helping build who these kids become. It’s right at this stage—at their age—where character is truly built," he added.
Then he called on students to balance academic dedication with respect for their parents, calling family support essential to long-term success.
He challenged the young audience to continuously sharpen their skills, innovate boldly, and lead with integrity as they prepare for future careers that will push the country forward.
Highlighting the school’s holistic approach to leadership, BPS Labschool UNJ Principal, Totok Bintoro emphasized that building future-ready citizens requires more than traditional textbooks.
"Delivering on that promise takes a real-world approach. Our students aren't just learning from teachers—they’re learning from military personnel, police officers, top achievers, and today, directly from their parents," he noted.
Totok called on students to ground their ambitions in discipline, integrity, hard work, and devotion to family.
Notably, Parents Day 2026 offers students a unique window into future careers through personal journeys and success stories shared directly by their parents.
