LAURENSIA CUP 2026

What does it mean to give something your all? What do we do with the talents that God has trusted us with? Beyond simply possessing them, we have the opportunity to nurture them, challenge ourselves, and discover what we can achieve. Every talent holds potential, and every potential deserves to be pursued wholeheartedly. This spirit comes to life in “Sepenuh Jiwa,” the official theme song of Laurensia Cup 2026.

More than just a song, “Sepenuh Jiwa” serves as a simple, yet meaningful reminder to keep moving forward and hold on to hope, even when we are faced with various kinds of challenges and uncertainty.

This message resonates deeply with Meracharis, commitment to pour your whole heart and soul (Meraki) into developing the gift given by God (Charis). This spirit is not only reflected through the lyrics, but also in the song's energetic and uplifting melody, encouraging listeners to embrace every challenge with determination and enthusiasm.

From its initial concept to its final form, “Sepenuh Jiwa” was brought to life through the collaborative efforts of the team behind the song, led by producer Alden. For over nearly two months, from 22 July to 15 September, each member dedicated their time and effort, contributing their unique talents and creativity to the music.

Behind the song, there’s a long process of journey shaped by experimentation. What began from a simple four chord idea evolved as the team explored and inspired from several kinds of music, including christian worship songs. Through trial and error, they worked their best to find a melody that captured the energetic and uplifting spirit of Laurensia Cup 2026.

However, the journey also came with its own challenges. For Alden, one of the biggest ones was resisting the temptation to rely on AI when writing the lyrics. Although it might have offered a quicker and easier way, he believes creating music means putting his own creativity into every part of the process. For him, music is a way to express his true self, and knowing that the final result comes from his own efforts is what makes it meaningful.

Additionally, Alden noted that creating “Sepenuh Jiwa” meant more than simply completing a song. He felt proud of his fellow friends, talented musicians. Through “Sepenuh Jiwa”, he hopes to inspire listeners, making them feel motivated, energized, and happy.

For Jovanca Giselle, however, the match between Santa Laurensia Biru and Yuppentek 1 stood out as one of the most interesting encounters of the day. Both teams demonstrated impressive playing techniques and lightning-fast passes, making the game an exciting contest to watch. Yuppentek 1 initially established a lead, but Santa Laurensia Biru refused to fall behind without a fight. Through continued efforts, the team gradually closed the gap, bringing the score closer and adding tension to the match. Yet, despite this attempt to catch up, Yuppentek 1 continued to score, eventually widening the gap once again and securing its victory.

The competition offered a reminder that victory requires more than individual skill. Although precise shooting, quick passing, and strong defensive techniques are essential, a team's success also depends on how well its players work together, maintain their performance under pressure, and seize every opportunity they have.

One last serve, one last rally, and one last chance for players to show how far they have come and claim the podium. As the final matches of Laurensia Cup 2026 began, there was no room to give up just yet.

In the girl’s volleyball category, two teams remained to fight for first place. After an intense match, SMA Dian Harapan Daan Mogot claimed victory against Yuppentek with a narrow score of 3–2. Meanwhile, in the boys’ category, PGRI 109 secured the championship against Letris 2 with a score of 3–0.

For Albert, the girl’s final between SMA Dian Harapan Daan Mogot and Yuppentek is the most interesting match since the competition remained intense until the fifth set. With both teams fighting for the championship, neither could afford to lose their focus. The close score made the match even more exciting, since the game remained unpredictable until the very end.

Meanwhile, Albert considered PGRI 109 as the most impressive team because they managed to win three consecutive sets. Their victory shows the importance of communication in volleyball games. Without clear communication, even a team with talented players may struggle to work together. So, volleyball is not just about how well each player performs individually, but also how effectively the entire team moves as one.

Once again, Laurensia Cup is ignited into a flurry. Even from outside the gym, you could hear the thunderous cheers from every excited audience, waiting with bated breaths as their favorite players rose to achieve glory. This time, the tournament was opened by a fierce battle between Laurensia Biru and Labschool Cirendeu, followed by another equally heart-racing match between Sekolah Harapan Bangsa and SMAN 6. Both matches ended with a score of 1–2, with Labschool Cirendeu and SMAN 6 emerging victorious.

The next match saw SMAN 3 face Penabur GS, where SMAN 3 secured a decisive 3–0 victory. As the competition continued into the 13.30–14.30 time slot, Laurensia Merah went head-to-head against SMAN 9.

As the clock struck 14.30, the competition continued with Laurensia Putih taking on SMA Dian Harapan Daan Mogot. SMA Dian Harapan Daan Mogot dominated the match, securing a 3–0 victory.

To close the recorded matches, Laurensia Biru faced Laurensia Merah in an all-Laurensia showdown. In the end, Laurensia Biru emerged victorious with a score of 2–1.

One of the highlights of today’s matches, according to Alicia (one of the tournament’s committee), was the match between Pahoa and Kristoforus 2, in which she admitted that it was sometimes hard for her to keep up with the match at the speed that both schools were playing at. Not only that, but Kristoforus 2’s sheer determination to score just one more point to win the game was another aspect that inspired Alicia, saying that the school did more than 20 overheads just to score that single point. Additionally, one thing Alicia believes played a significant role in securing Kristoforus 2’s win was how each player truly focused in the game and strategized their position to ensure each area in the field is dominated by them, thus leaving no space for error.

Alas, the game became more and more intense as the due date to becoming champion looms closer.

In another instance, particularly the match between Laurensia Merah and Laurensia Biru’s women's team, another important lesson can be learned. After a brief interview, Daphne - a member of Laurensia Merah - expressed how memorable the game was especially due to its difficulty. Later, although she didn’t get the results that she wanted, she emphasized on how the real enemy in the match wasn’t actually the opposing team but your own self; that is, to be brave enough to surpass your limits and identify your flaws so that you can grow into a better player.

In the end, as today’s badminton tournament concludes, it leaves behind more than just scores and victories; it serves as a reminder that true champions are forged not only through their determination to defeat their opponents, but also through the courage to overcome their own limits.

Despite the growing familiarity of “competition” as Laurensia Cup reaches its third day, everyone - every player and even the audiences and committees - couldn’t help but feel agitated as those among the best continue to clash head on against each other, to secure the one and only title of champion.

This time, YP Karya B defeated SMAN 2 Tangsel 2–0, while UPH Filanesia claimed a 4–2 victory over Sekolah Dian Harapan LV. Meanwhile, SMAS PGRI 109 delivered a dominant performance against SMA Tarakanita Gading Serpong, winning by an overwhelming 14–0. SMPN 7 Tangsel B narrowly defeated Santa Laurensia Alam Sutera 3–2, while SMPN 9 Tangsel secured a commanding 9–0 victory against UPHC.

Today, in Dana’s eyes, the match between YP Karya B and SMAN 2 Tangsel proved to be one of the most memorable matches among the rest. He expressed how, despite the growing incredible performance that SMPN 2 Tangsel showed as the game progressed in the first half, YP Karya B was still able to tip the balance over to their side and secure a goal before the whistle blew, thus having an advantage of one point against zero.

But if you think a single goal would immediately tumble SMPN 2 Tangsel’s team to a crash, then you’re gravely mistaken.

As the second half commenced, both teams still showed an equal amount of spirit and vigor as though they’ve just started off the first half all over again - as though the energy they spent that first half was never spent in the first place. This, as Dana mentioned, made the game even more memorable and truly inspiring. A battle of wills it truly was.

In the end, YP Karya B emerged victorious with a final score of 2–0, securing their win against SMAN 2 Tangsel. Yet, beyond the numbers on the scoreboard, the match was a testament to the determination and resilience of both teams, who continued to fight for every opportunity until the very last whistle.

Hence, as the players left the field, one thing remained clear: victory may belong to one team, but the courage to keep pushing forward is what makes every match worth remembering. After all, in a tournament where every goal counts, it is not merely the strength of one’s feet that matters, but the strength of one’s will that makes a true competitor.

Once again, as Laurensia Cup reaches its third day, the spirit of competition continues to burn brighter than ever. From the thunderous cheers echoing throughout the court to the unwavering determination of every player, the volleyball tournament has proven to be more than just a battle of strength and skill. It is a testament to the passion, perseverance, and unity that bring both players and supporters together.

The volleyball court, too, was filled with fierce competition as teams fought to secure their victories. PGRI 109 opened the series with a 2–0 win over Penabur Kota Tangerang in the boys’ division. In the girls’ division, Laurensia claimed a 2–0 victory against Santa Patricia, while the boys of Yadika 10 and Laurensia fought to a 2–2 draw. Meanwhile, Yuppentek triumphed over Pahoa with a 2–0 victory in the girls’ division. The final match saw Santa Ursula BSD defeat Springfield 2–0, before Muhammadiyah 25 Setiabudi Pamulang closed the series with another 2–0 win against Pahoa. With every point fiercely contested, the matches demonstrated the teams’ determination, teamwork, and unwavering spirit to push forward in the race for the championship.

Among today’s matches, one that particularly stood out was the intense clash between Santa Laurensia and Santa Patricia. According to Louisa, a member of the volleyball tournament committee, the match was especially exciting because of the tension that unfolded throughout the game, as Santa Laurensia fought relentlessly to keep their hopes of advancing to the next round alive.

At first, however, victory seemed to favor Santa Patricia; Santa Laurensia fell behind in the first set, placing them in a difficult position as the match progressed. Yet, if there is one thing that defines a true competitor, it is the ability to rise even when the odds seem to be against them. Rather than allowing their initial defeat to discourage them, the Laurensian players reignited their fighting spirit in the second set, determined to turn the tide of the match. Through their perseverance, they managed to claim the second set and push the game into a decisive third set, ultimately securing their place in the semifinals.

But what exactly allowed Santa Laurensia to rise from their initial setback? According to Louisa, several factors played an important role: communication, fighting spirit, perseverance, and mental strength. Indeed, a victory such as this is not achieved through individual skill alone, but through the ability of every player to trust one another, remain focused under pressure, and continue fighting even when the outcome remains uncertain.

Beyond the players' determination, however, the excitement of the match extended far beyond the court itself. As Chloe described, the atmosphere was made even more enjoyable by the presence of numerous supporters from both schools. One of the most memorable moments for her was when the supporters of Santa Laurensia and Santa Patricia playfully challenged one another through their chants. Amid the tension of the competition, these spirited exchanges ultimately brought an additional layer of excitement to the game, transforming the match into a celebration not only of each player's skills but also the lively spirit of each audience that supports them.

In the end, as Laurensia Cup continues, one thing remains certain: the road to becoming a champion is never without its challenges. Yet, through strong communication, an unbreakable fighting spirit, and the encouragement of those cheering from the sidelines, even the most difficult matches can become opportunities to rise above expectations. After all, when the crowd roars and the players refuse to give up, every point becomes more than just a score - it becomes a testament to the power of both perseverance and belief.

After three days of hard work and precision, the tennis table competition has finally come to an end.

For Harvey, the match between SMA Santa Laurensia putih vs SMA Pahoa Regu 2 stood out as the highlight for today. As a continuation of yesterday's battle, the match offered an interesting view of how both teams can learn from earlier mistakes, and develop their techniques and strategies in this battle. Maybe, only one team can claim the first place, but beyond the final scores and rankings, it reminds us that victory is not always defined by being the best, but by the willingness to challenge ourselves to grow, and become better than we were yesterday.

Capitalizing on these gaps, Laurensia dominated the first half with an impressive 6 goals without reply.

This match was very exciting because it was supported by a very lively atmosphere from the crowd and played a very tight match, where both teams continued to chase points with the score difference always being only 1 to 2 points. This tight duel was marked by drama on the court, such as service errors that gave the opposing team a point advantage, or a player’s inaccurate reception (receive) that made the ball bounced and difficult to catch.

Santa Laurensia has a tradition where, every time the Laurensia Cup is hosted, the walls along a corridor of the school are painted with murals pertaining to the tournament’s theme. Now, as we move closer to D-Day, members of the Mural Committee are putting all their hard work and dedication into painting one of the greatest murals yet in the school’s corridor.

This year, the murals distinguish themselves from previous murals through the use of bright and colorful designs, which bring positive energy and a livelier atmosphere to the hallways. The designs of the murals themselves follow the concept of a beautiful garden inspired by Laurensia Cup 2026’s theme, Meracharis. According to the Mural Committee’s Person in Charge (PIC), the peacocks that can be seen in most of the paintings serve as the main symbols throughout the murals, surrounded by elements of nature such as flowers, mountains, and pathways. While the peacocks represent beauty and uniqueness, the garden symbolizes peace and growth. Together, these elements reflect the spirit of Meracharis, in which people are encouraged to utilize their uniqueness and the talents that God has given them with compassion, sincerity, and grace.

Before beginning the painting process, all committee members of the Mural division must brainstorm and share their ideas with each other to find out how to best describe this year’s Laurensia Cup theme, not with words but through beautiful art. As part of the brainstorming process, one of the committee members shared that they started by sketching their ideas digitally. After that, their work had to be evaluated before finally being painted on the walls of the corridor. Though it may seem easy, the committee expressed how exhausting the evaluation process was because revisions to their digital work had to be made many times to fulfill the necessary criteria. Nevertheless, the resulting murals proved to be worth all the time and effort they had invested, as expressed by the committee member.

After all the initial drafts were approved, the PIC divided the members into groups, with each group responsible for a particular wall in the corridor. However, differences in painting styles and conflicting schedules sometimes made coordination difficult, so the PIC highlighted how important communication and teamwork were in ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The PIC also emphasized the importance of diversity in painting styles, stating that “these differences actually made the murals more special because everyone could contribute their own style and creativity. In the end, the murals became unique and represented everyone's effort and involvement.”

In the end, beyond the arduous process of painting the murals, there were also plenty of memorable moments that the committee members experienced. For example, one committee member expressed how excited she was to use the ladders to paint the murals, while the PIC also expressed how special it was to unite every member’s ideas into one beautiful mural. Ultimately, the murals represent more than an artistic tradition of Laurensia Cup; they embody the greatness that can be achieved through the Mural Committee’s collaboration, creativity, and determination to do one's absolute best.

Technical meetings

The committee of Laurensia Cup 2026 effectively held the virtual Technical Meeting via Zoom on 6th October. The main purpose of the meeting was to align perceptions and build a unified understanding among committee members and team members. During the session, participants reviewed match regulations, tournament flow, disciplinary and penalty systems, and detailed match schedules to ensure that on matchday, there are no misunderstandings or unnecessary complaints.

According to Kayla, the PIC of the competition division, the Technical Meeting went successfully according to the planning. She mentioned that the Zoom Breakout Rooms for each competition branch was very helpful in keeping discussions focused. Although minor technical challenges occur such as late arrivals, unformatted display names, and connectivity issues for a few referees, the committee handled difficulties with an appropriate response. For example, questions that required technical verification from absent referees were put on hold and subsequently answered after proper consultation, while recap presentations and attendance files were distributed afterwards.

Throughout the meeting, members of each team representative showed high keenness and curiosity throughout the session. Inside each breakout room, there were discussions regarding penalty conditions, tardiness tolerances, player substitution mechanics, and jersey requirements. Fortunately, PIC representatives for each sport, along with attending referees, successfully facilitated these discussions and clarified the participants' inquiries.

Consequently, all team representatives have to complete several crucial steps before competing during the day. Representatives are required to fill out the attendance Google Form as confirmation and proof of agreement to the tournament regulations. Furthermore, teams must complete any remaining player administration files, stay upDated on schedule announcements, and ensure their entire team arrives on time according to the agreed matchday schedule.

Who are they?

Every big event requires funding in order for it to progress smoothly. Decorations, gifts, tools, and a sound system- everything requires funding. The fundraising team is a group of students who work hard collecting funds so that Laurensia Cup 2026 can launch as optimally as possible. Theta are students behind the scenes who make sure everything is ready before the first competition starts.

Collect funds

Instead of asking for money, our fundraising team found an enjoyable way to seek funds, which is through food! They sell multiple candies and snacks around the school. Whether you like something sweet or small snacks to get through a tough day, there will always be delicious snacks waiting for you. Every time you purchase, you not only fill your belly, but you also help Laurensia Cup improve.

Protecting everyone's enthusiasm

Imagine a rough day at the event and school. There are lessons, practice, and even meetings. As time passes, our bodies will be exhausted. That is where sweet snacks can restore your energy. The fundraising team supports student enthusiasm, teachers, and the committee with delicious food and snacks. This is a small act, but the impact is beneficial for someone's mood.

The Hardship they go through

Behind every snack, there are efforts. The team has to plan what's being sold, prepare the food, set up the selling table, and keep everything clean and in order. They have to speak to many people and explain this event, along with inviting them to join. Sometimes the temperature isn't quite favorable, it's crowded, and sometimes they also have to wake up in the morning and return home late. But they keep smiling and try their best to make sure we all can get the best experience.
