Mathematics is often perceived as a difficult subject by many students. This challenge is not only experienced by EBPP students, but also by learners in schools around the world. Such perceptions can negatively affect students’ motivation, participation, and confidence in the learning process. When students feel that mathematics is intimidating, they tend to become passive and disengaged in the classroom. To address this issue, I have increasingly implemented cooperative lear

As a Guidance Counsellor at EBPP School, my role is to support students in understanding themselves and planning for their future. One simple yet meaningful tool I use is the Dream Tree—a creative medium that helps students visualise their dreams and map out the direction they want to take in life. Through this activity, students are encouraged to reflect on their goals, while I gain deeper insight into their potential, interests, and career paths. Every student has a dream,

As part of EBPP long-term strategy to support and develop students’ interests and talents in the arts, we recently initiated the ‘EBPP School Music Group’ designed as a supporting activity to develop students’ creativity, discipline, and self-confidence through music. This group brings together selected junior and senior high school students from our Bunga, Cegi, Pengalusan, Manikaji, and Darmaji schools’ individual music groups, who show interest in developing skills in play

EBPP’s extracurricular music program took an exciting step forward this semester, expanding from modern music to including traditional Balinese music—especially Rindik, a bamboo instrument known for its soft, calming tones. Although Rindik is new to our students, many showed immediate interest and enthusiasm to learn. Every afternoon, after completing their academic lessons, students come down to the EBPP Ban office for practice. They begin with the basics: recognizing pitche

One of the creative ways to make English learning more enjoyable is by using Task-Based and Game-Based Learning methods. To achieve this, I introduced an activity called Sentence in an Envelope with junior high students from grades 8 and 9. Each envelope contained several cut-up mixed words that students had to arrange into a correct sentence. The lesson focused on the simple present tense, especially when to add -s or -es to verbs, such as in “She likes apples” instead of “S

One of the important roles of a teacher is not only to deliver lessons but also to encourage students to think critically. To achieve this, I apply Problem Based Learning (PBL) connected to real-life situations. For example, in the topic of hazardous substances, I divided the students into several groups and gave them a problem to discuss, such as: “Why is plastic waste dangerous for the environment?”  Each group then discussed the issue, looked for solutions, and presented w

At EBPP, learning math has become a lot more fun  for primary school children with a simple and creative game called Pass the Pigs . Instead of using regular dice, students toss two small pig-shaped figures into the air. Each position the pigs land on gives a different score, and students must add or multiply their points depending on the result. When both pigs land the same way, the score doubles, something that always brings laughter and excitement to the class. This activi
