On March 15, 2019, LSPR Transpark celebrated their new campus opening with a gathering of all lecturers and staff. At the same time, the event was also a farewell party for Ms. Gesille S. Buot, who is returning to the Philippines, to her family. The event started at 1:00 PM, and was opened by LSPR staff performing three songs. The last song was dedicated to Ms. Gesille.

Performance from LSPR Team

 LSPR also gave Ms. Gesille an appreciation gift, following a speech from Ms. Gesille herself. “This not just work, not just a school, this is a family,” she said. “I’m so blessed I’m (working) at LSPR. I can’t imagine being somewhere else. Life in LSPR is drama, comedy, performance, and above all family.” She mentioned how living in Indonesia has changed her. “I have learnt how to be humble. Indonesians are very humble and polite. That is something I will take with me. If it hadn’t been for LSPR, I would not be who I am right now.” She believes this is not a good bye. “We’re going to meet again, for sure. This is not the end, or a good bye.”
