< Written By : Aulia Utami > Stayed in Bali for about a week was an unforgettable experience for us. We have many differences in culture and tradition, but we all can have a good relationship. One thing that we learnt from them was their strong bonding. There is no gap among the students and teachers. In addition they are also opened to other people.

Moreover, they have their own slogan, which they call “Great” (green, share, care, and healthy). Those words are truly describing about their life there. Their environment is clean and tidy. They also have their own green house and they have composting where all organic rubbish are collected in one place and made as compos for their green house. 

Another thing that we learnt about them was about their discipline. They all woke up early in the morning and directly had exercises every day. In the learning process they used moving class system. Even they were always moving, students on duty always had to clean their class. The learning process there wasreally attractive; they havea high motivation for studying.

They also have activities after school time, such as club activities, which are Balinese club, Balinese traditional dance club, theater, basketball, futsal, scout and others. Every Friday morning they haveFriday Free Sports where usually all teachers and all students goto beach and havesports there. Furthermore, on the way to go to beach, they haveto collect the rubbish that they seealong the street. In the night, they havemovie night that is conducted buy house on the turn. But, every Saturday they have community and service for grade ten and entrepreneurship for grade eleven. And In Sunday morning they have big cleaning to clean all of school environment.

Stayingthere was a great and unforgettable moment, and it was great to know them well and gain a good relationship with them.
