SMPN 1 Denpasar, SBI School in Bali

SMPN 1 Denpasar. I think a lot of people know this famous school, because the student's achievement is really great. From the academic achievement and non-academic achievement.

My history's teacher said, this school was build on the century of Netherland's colonialism. This school was really famous from the really beginning. But unfortunately, no one knows when did this school exactly built. So, our school never had a birthday party.

When I started to school here, this school was just a SNBI (Sekolah Nasional Berstandar Internasional), which was really controversial on that time, because this school is the first SNBI school in Bali on that time.

When I was on 8th Grade, this school transform into SBI school (Sekolah Berstandar Internasional). The difference between SNBI shool and SBI school, is in the facility. When we talk about facility, this school had a really great facility. But, globalization force this school to upgrade the facility, into a really-like international school facility. For example, the Computer Laboratory has a new facility, like new computers, new speakers, and air conditioner.
Several chamber and laboratory are also changed. The Biology and Physic Laboratory has a big flat-tv screen, LCD projector, and LCD screen. Several experiment instruments also changed into the updated and new one.

But, not all of them changed. There are also 'blind spot', and it all about disproportion. Not all of the classroom are SBI standard, like including television, LCD projector, LCD screen, and air conditioner. The only classes that is not in SBI standard is the 9th grade classroom. But 'fortunately', we still use English as our 'subject language', and we use CCTV in our classroom

Many things is also need to be fixed. Like the nasty toilet. How could you be comfortable if the toilet is super-nasty?

But, whatever the 'blind spot' and whatever people said about my lovely school, I going to love it forever and be proud to study there.
