Students in boarding schools face additional pressures due to dual curriculum, high cognitive load, personal problems such as family homesickness, feelings of not belonging, and poor sleep patterns that compound worsening student well-being. This study examines the relationship between school climate and academic hardiness with student subjective well-being, with the mediation of student engagement among students in boarding schools. Data were collected using the Student Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire (SSWQ; CR=0.941), School Climate Scale (SCR; CR=0.895), The Academic Hardiness Scale (AHS; CR=0.921), and Student Engagement Scale (SES; CR=0.902). A total of 519 junior and senior high school students who participated in Islamic boarding school programs in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, were involved in the study. The data were analysed using AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures) software to conduct structural model analysis and hypothesis validation, to evaluate the relationship between variables. The results indicated that student engagement mediates school climate and student subjective well-being. Student engagement also mediates the relationship between academic hardiness and student subjective well-being. Students in boarding schools suggested to have a positive perception of the school environment and academic hardiness in facing academic problems and challenges to achieve well-being while living in the dormitory.

This qualitative study examines the phenomena of bullying and cyberbullying among Indonesian students in Malaysia whose parents are expatriates. The focus on this specific demographic aims to uncover how their unique sociocultural backgrounds shape their experiences related to bullying, both as victims and perpetrators. Utilizing semi-structured interviews with 21 students from Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur, the research delves into their understandings and encounters with various forms of bullying, including physical, verbal, and cyber aspects. Thematic analysis of this group's vulnerabilities and behavioral patterns reveals a complex interplay of cultural integration challenges and social dynamics. The findings highlight a dual role of students as both targets and agents of bullying, influenced heavily by their transnational identities. This study proposes the development of culturally sensitive interventions that cater specifically to the needs of transnational students, aiming to enhance the efficacy of anti-bullying strategies within multicultural educational settings. By addressing the nuanced needs of these students, the research underscores the importance of implementing targeted educational and psychoeducational programs that promote understanding, empathy, and resilience across diverse student populations. This tailored approach is anticipated to foster safer, more inclusive school environments that prevent bullying and support expatriate students' holistic well-being.
