Cheers, laughter, and competitive spirit once again echoed through the school. After completing the final exams as a requirement for promotion to the next grade, the students participated in the class meeting, which this year was themed “Riang Rustika.” The class meeting is one of the programs organized by the Student Council’s Interest and Talent Division, designed to foster sportsmanship, teamwork, and self-expression among students. The event featured various inter-class competitions vying for the championship title. Over three consecutive days, from July 16 to 18, the school was filled with the enthusiastic cheers and excitement of students participating in each activity.
The first day of the Riang Rustika Class Meeting began with a 2.5-kilometer fun run participated in by all high school and junior high school students of Pembangunan Jaya. Participants ran around the residential area surrounding the school, with security provided by checkpoints and water stations along the route. A unique feature of this year’s fun run was the use of traditional accessories such as blangkon or regional fabrics combined with sports uniforms, adding a cultural touch to this group exercise. Not only students but also teachers participated enthusiastically. The event was officially opened by the Principal of SMA Pembangunan Jaya 2, Mrs. Suci Wulandari, and concluded with the announcement of the three fastest runners from each level of senior high schoolers and junior high schoolers .
After that, the activities continued with a culinary competition, where each class competed in cooking regional specialties. The variety of dishes reflected the richness of Indonesian cuisine, from Madura to Papua. The dishes were sold to other students, creating a lively market atmosphere. The excitement continued with a unique and laughter-filled inter-class yoga volleyball match, as well as the Clash of Clash competition, a test of precision and knowledge in a quiz format. On another field, the inter-class rounders competition unfolded with enthusiasm, supported by cheers echoing through the air. The first day of Riang Rustika marked a vibrant start, filled with camaraderie and color, following the intensity of the semester exams.

Soon, the last day of the Riang Rustika class meeting arrived. The event began with a traditional estafet competition involving several students from each class. The estafet series consisted of traditional Indonesian games with a few additional challenges. These included playing bekel, moving marbles using chopsticks, and engklek, a game played by two people whose legs are tied together while jumping. The laughter and enthusiasm of the participants made this competition one of the most entertaining.
As a sweet finale, all classes showcased their talents in the Gelora session, a collaborative performance to express unity. Each class presented something unique, whether it was dancing, singing, or putting on a play.

The event also ended with the presentation of evaluations and the dissolution of this year’s Artomic committee.
