Jatituhu and Pengalusan Students Continue Winning

By I Wayan Suteja | Pengalusan Head School

The past few months have been filled with final exams for grades 9 and 12 students, celebrations for National Education Day and Student Council leader elections

Successful Final exams for 12^th grade and 9^th grade students

In a testament to their dedication and perseverance, our high-achieving students confronted the challenge of the equivalence education exam in mid-April, following rigorous preparations. Remarkably, they adeptly navigated both offline and online exam formats. On May 13th, senior high students took their online exam, with their junior counterparts following suit on May 20th. Noteworthy is the recent introduction of this online exam system by the government, serving as a mandatory step for students pursuing certification. In June, all students celebrated their success in passing the exam.

Students showcase their talent in the National Education Day Celebration

May 2nd marked the big celebrations that all EBPP students were excited about. It was a chance for them to show off both their academic and non-academic skills and creativity. In their annual quiz competition about what they've learned, our Pengalusan senior high students got second place and junior high got third, while Jatituhu high school students took 3^rd place and elementary students got first place! We were also proud of our Pengalusan students coming first in face painting, chess, and debating. And there is more! Our talented students amazed everyone with their music and English Club performances, singing English songs!

Pengalusan student proudly elected as student council Leader

After his convincing vision and mission presentation in a 3^rdMay debate, competing with 4 other candidates for Students’ Council (OSIS) leader for the 2023-2024 period, Murta, a 10^th grade Pengalusan senior high student, won the most votes on the May 8^th election day, held during a field trip at Tenganan Pegringsingan village, Karangasem Regency! Finally, on May 19^th he was officially appointed as the new EBPP PKBM student council leader.

EMpower Extra-Curricular activities

EMpower activities for grades 8-12 students focused on communication and leadership development, encompassing self-discovery, conquering fears, critical thinking, teamwork, and proposal formulation. Additionally, the Empower Girl-Fund initiatives for grades 10-12 students concentrated on preparing impactful social media campaigns addressing issues such as child marriage, infrastructure, education, and environmental conservation. Training encompasses content creation (videos, photos, captions), stakeholder mapping, and presentation skills.

Once again, huge thanks to all of You, our wonderful GlobalGiving donors for enabling our dedicated team to continue educating and empowering these motivated mountain hamlet children.

Students' Obstacles and Achievements in Early 2023

By I Wayan Suteja | EBPP Pengalusan Headmaster

Repair of Pengalusan school building due to landslide

Heavy rains that occurred for several days in December, resulted in landslides behind Pengalusan School, badly damagingthe rear wall. This incident disrupted students’ learning because all students and their parents had to work together repairing the building. After the repairs were completed in January, learning activities returned to normal.

Art and Music Classes

In the Art classes, students were given the theme of "Hindu Holidays" to express their love for culture and religion, and learn to draw real objects to hone their perspective skills in painting. They also learn to draw comics and caricatures with the aim of being able to convey ideas, aspirations, and illustrate the circumstances of their surroundings. Meanwhile, in music arts activities students learn according to their level. The basic group learned the basic Cord before playing a song, while the advanced group practiced playingvarious songs together that they will perform at our annual National Education Day event on 2^nd May.

Photo Exhibition and Presentation of Problems and Appeals to Government

On 10th February, junior and senior high students along with other EBPP students held a photo exhibition and presentation, for government and traditional village leaders, as part of their extra-curricular EMpower Photovoices program, to illustrate the problems of damaged roads by Jatituhu students and their dangers early marriage, and the involvement of youth and women in traditional village governance by Pengalusan students

Internet antenna installation

To make it easier for students to access information about education and the outside world, in February EBPP installed an internet Wifi antenna to provide easier access for learning resources and information

New English Club

In mid-February, seven Pengalusan and two Jatituhu high school students eagerly joined 7 other EBPP students for our new twice weekly 'English Club', created for students who wished to learn more English! Amazing progress so far!

Guidance and counseling classes

In this program, students receive special services, at the elementary level providing special class assistance for students who are slow to learn in writing and arithmetic and receive personal and group counseling services, as well as discussions about ethics and manners.

Midterm exam

In March, students took the mid-term assessment exams. The results of this test will map their ability to master the subject matter for the last three months.

Thanks to donors for their help and support so that until now this program can still run smoothly for a better future for all students.
