On April 15, 2025, EBPP School held its Student Council (OSIS) election for the 2025/2026 period at the beautiful Bukit Savana, Tianyar. The event was attended by all teachers and students from both junior and senior high school levels. Out of the seven candidates who nominated themselves, three finalists were selected—one from Darmaji School and two from Manikaji School—after an intensive selection process and the presentation of their vision and mission. Eti, an 11th-grade student from Manikaji School, was elected as the new Student Council President.

Before the election began, all students participated in games designed to enhance friendship and strengthen bonds among them. This activity helped lighten the atmosphere and fostered a sense of togetherness among students.

Prior to the voting, each candidate delivered a speech presenting their vision and mission. In her speech, Eti emphasized her commitment to fostering a disciplined, responsible, and orderly school environment, while encouraging cooperation among students.

The candidates who received the second and third highest votes were appointed as Vice President and Secretary, respectively. Eti’s leadership promises positive change, raising awareness of discipline, and enhancing student collaboration. This moment marked an important democratic process and the continuation of an inspiring leadership era within the students of EBPP schools.
